It’s emotional, tender, smoking hot, funny, and sweet. Content warning: infertility. The heroine is “barren due to uterine fibroids,” and there are conversations about infertility.
I read this book out of order (it’s part of the Ravenel series), but the story is great as a stand alone. A reader who is familiar with St. Vincent and the Wallflowers will appreciate their appearance and the role he plays in this book even more.
The audiobook is a bonus. Mary Jane Wells is an absolute treasure! She captures the characters and her accents are super fun.

The small tidbits that we had scene from the previous books of Merrit painted a fascinating character, however, unfortunately she seems to have taken much from her father and not enough from her mother. Which was unfortunate, but didn’t make the book dreadful. Just a little bit boring every once in a while.
The male lead was… fine. I don’t personally have any real opinion on him, other than, perhaps, the fact that the plot twist was very predictable.
But, I enjoyed seeing old characters reappear, which really shines in the strengths of this novel. It’s definitely feels like fan service (which is great!).
