This book was good but not my favorite from this author. I really appreciated the author note that explained the impetus for creating these characters. However, I felt that there was very little growth in the male main character compared to the female MC. Entertaining despite the references to hunting. I did appreciate the music industry’s nefarious practices being highlighted! And there were some hilarious moments at the beginning. Worth reading! 3.5 stars

This was adorable. It is a closed door romance so it was a perfect airplane read. Thanks goodness I was wearing a mask so I could just smile and giggle (and cry) and nobody was any the wiser. Somehow this was simultaneously a rock star romance and a mountain man romance. 🤷🏻♀️ I can’t explain. You will just have to see for yourself!
FMC Sloan and MMC Jason are super cute together. And Tucker is the best good boy and the ultimate matchmaker. 🐶 The sigh-worthy moments are few and far between but there are a few sprinkled throughout and there are definitely moments to smile and kick your feet. 💖💖💖
Sloan’s grief and the highs and lows of their relationship add emotional complexity to an otherwise extremely lighthearted romcom.
Diversity is kind of tough to evaluate. Other than Sloan having a tan, nobody’s skin is described and descriptions of hair etc are kind of ambiguous. There does seem to be a butch female character (Zane) but otherwise everything is pretty normative. Apparently this was the first book Jimenez ever wrote so I don’t know if this holds true in her more recent work.
Overall, it was a super cute read that I read in one sitting (on an airplane 😂) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 💖💖💖

I really appreciated that this book didn't make Sloan and Jason's budding relationship easy. They were coming from very different situations, points in life, and circumstances. It was nice to see their bond grow and develop as they faced different milestones in their relationship - and I think it was appropriate to see that it wasn't always easy and required a lot of compromise on both sides. Overall this book was full of lots of entertaining twists and turns.

Sloan's fiancé had died prior to the book in a motorcycle accident. Drug and alcohol use and abuse related to a side character that fell victim to the entertainment industry. Some minor animal neglect leading to Sloan finding Tucker at the start of the novel.
