ultimately this felt very underdeveloped. It was a perfect example of being told instead of shown. I feel like we skipped a bunch of major scenes. For example, instead of seeing them tell the kids, they say they are going to do it and then it skips ahead to a few days later. It was okay

This book was a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read. The characters seemed to leap of the pages straight into my heart. They pulled me into their story and held me as a willing captive until I read the very last word. There is just so much to love about this book. Bennett and Gianna (Gia) are very relatable, true-to-life characters that you can’t help but adore and cheer on to happily ever after. He may be a tad more serious, conservative and structured than Gia, as one would expect from a mayor, but she and her kids bring a breath of fresh air and chaos into his life. I loved Beckett’s rapport with the kids, his approachable personality, his big warm heart and his protective nature. He really is a great guy and a great match for Gia.

Gia is a feisty, stronger than she thinks, big-hearted woman with a lot on her plate. Her ex is a musician who cares more about the next gig and his music than his kids or Gia. She found the strength to end their relationship because she and the kids are better off without him. Her kids are her first priority, over her studio, any job or any romance. She is a nurturer by nature, seems to thrive on chaos and her kids know that they can always count on her. Beckett snuck into her heart and lit it up when she saw how he treated her kids. He always treated them like they were important and they mattered, something their father never did. Unfortunately, he does something that hurts her and her trust in him takes a beating. 

Their families are another great part of this book. They add both drama and humour with their interactions, antics and advice. Beckett and Gia’s road to a happily ever after is a tad bumpy, with some unexpected detours, a big misunderstanding and some tumultuous feelings that need to be sorted out. Their family and friends help to steer them back on course, urging them to fight for their love and a future together. The conclusion is everything I wanted for them and more. I will certainly be reading more books written by this author.

This wonderful, heartwarming book has my highest recommendation.

A man with daddy issues falls for his stepsister. Lot to unpack here.

PS. the kindle unlimited covers are far less sensual and off putting

What is in the water in Blue Moon that everyone falls in love so quick?

I enjoyed the second book in this series, but I still can’t quite get over how quickly the relationship between Gianna and Beckett progresses. 

I think my favorite part of this book was all the scenes with the whole family together. And then the ones with the kids. I’m a sucker for books with cute kids.

I definitely wanted to shake Beckett for some of the things he did/said. And I am glad that he came to his senses and realized he was in the wrong.

Overall cute and I will definitely continue reading the series.

Thanks Bloom Books for the eARC.

if this was a slowburn it would have kicked ass. I feel like it was rushed. The characters connected too quickly and I would have loved a little bit more development before jumping to a romantic relationship.
