A lot of additions of characters at random timings too, merely out of convenience. And I also didn’t like how the characters were portrayed as vanilla, only for the author to suddenly make sexual references out of absolutely nowhere; it ruins my picture of them actually.
Overall, not a very well thought out story and I might not proceed with the other two instalments in the series.
Moderate: Sexual content

I loved the prologue and the setup for the series and I look forward to reading the other two soon. I once again loved all of her characters; even the side characters are super fleshed out, so I hope to see some beyond the other two girls in the other two books. Like River, I want more River!
While Ben was, as always, a wonderfully written man with an arc where he finds what he really wants, Kit shined for me as a Woman in STEM who is happy where she is in her life. Often today, women are encouraged to pursue careers to an extreme in a "girlboss" manner rather than encouraged to do what makes them happy; while for some, that's a high-paying career, for many like Kit, the work she does and where she does it makes her happy even if she isn't high up, I liked that she got more recognition and got to do more work on her own terms rather than for some big business!
Romance-wise, I did feel like Ben and Kit fell for each other really quickly but naturally and I loved the house reno plotline for them. Her romantic gesture at the end was so perfect and it really tied in the small-town feel that this book, and most of Clayborn's have!
