Loved Sam, something about that ginger man is awesome. This book was so funny, other times, I wanted to slap the tar out of Maggie. I really didn't like her, she seemed a little....pretentious. Other than her, I really did like the overall story and thought it had a great story and kept me reading. I love the characters in this series, and in this book. This is told in dual pov.

I changed my mind. I think I liked the fact that I finished it more than the actual book

This book is so cute and funny! It was a perfect fluff read in between heavy hitters, and I can’t wait to read the next one!!

This is OK. Its taken me ages and ages to get into this.
Maggie I found to be super immature and the whole ex and trying to get him back but then hitting on and having sex with Sam confused me.
I'd not love it if its the guy doing it to the girl so I was also struggling here too.
Anyway it eventually settled in and loved it.

This is a little bit forbidden romance and a little bit friends to lovers. City girl meets mountain man. There is plenty of humor, as Maggie, a young women passing through town tries to expand her horizon by becoming more adventurous. Not for herself, but to try to win back her ex. Enter, Sam. Outdoorsman extraordinaire. Offering to help her with her first attempt at ice fishing, he gets more than he bargained for. She's a bit of a firecracker. Giving as good as she gets. She also has a high regard of romance and all the things love, which is why she's trying so hard to prove to her ex that he's wrong about her, and she not willing to give up so easily. Sam is not into romance at all. It isn't so much he doesn't believe in love, but he feels he isn't meant to love or to be in a committed relationship, which is why this whole thing with helping Maggie, despite the physical attraction, was an easy 'yes.' Of course, you know what they say about the best laid plans. In addition to the laughs, there are some aggravating/angsty moments, as well as some sentimental scenes. It's a good fun, and mostly light-hearted read. It's a well told story that is easy to read and the story flows nicely. It alternates between POVs. There is some sexual content, that may be considered suitable for mature readers.

Listen, I only started this book because I enjoyed the first one, and had interest in reading books 3 and 4, but this wasn’t going to be the book for me. The whole “younger sister is off limits” thing feels like such an American construct, and a gross one at that. Why do you care who your sister is involved with? On one hand, it’s very “if I can’t fuck my sister, nobody can”. On the other hand, it implies men have no problem being friends with men who treat women badly, as long as it’s not a woman they care about, which is incredibly scummy. So to say I wasn’t looking forward to the trope is an understatement.
Yet somehow, in spite of all that, I enjoyed this. Amy Daws is clearly good at writing the classic “you’re in love, you idiot” moments that make romantic comedies so fun to watch and read. Kate and Maggie’s relationship was also incredibly fun, and most of their night out to celebrate Sam getting Tire Depot was full of the kind of antics that make you smile as you read along. So even though Sam kept acting like a woman who was hot and interesting was a fucking unicorn (cute misogyny there), it was still an enjoyable read. That being said, I cannot wait for the day where it is common knowledge that “spirit animals” are a sacred Native concept, not something cute for a white girl to say.
