AHHHHHHHHHHH HOLY MOTHER I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!! sorry that was a little unnecessary but is true this book is easily a new favorite for me. i mean seriously how could it get better HE QUOTED MR FREAKIN DARCY!!!!!!!! and i’ll say a second chance romance is not something i usually gravitate towards but this, this might just have me reevaluating my opinion of the trope. the character development was THERE and i just ugh i have no words. i definitely feel like tanner was written by taylor swift, he’s just so flippin awesome. lucyyyyyyyy the way i related to her was like… i was shocked how much i related to her. and THE SPICE *wheeze* i like had to regroup a couple times not gonna lie. if you’re a fan of…
-cute and steamy romances
-extremely relatable female leads
-hot and sexy feminist cinnamon roll male leads
-and pretty intense s*x scenes (like a 6.8-7/10 on the spice-o-meter)
you would love this
9.6/10 would DEFINITELY recommend ❤️

Tanner, the male lead, knew when he was first with Lucy, the female lead, that he loved her but Lucy was not emotionally in a position to accept that love. Now their situation changes and their relationship develops and maybe things are different … though they do both have significant family influences pulling at them…
This story is dual POV, well written and edited, and very realistic in terms of the family situations that the characters find themselves working through. I appreciated the character and relationship development and the genuine integration of secondary characters. It wasn’t pure romance though, so be aware going in.

To be loved by Tanner King! A man who loses himself in Austen, waxes poetry, loves his cat, and has a devoted heart of gold wins the case for my affections any day! The perfect bundle of sweet and sexy, Lucy was destined to fall back into him from the start.
The chemistry between these two was hot hot HOT, and the story of Lucy, the one who got away, finding her way back to him once more was a swoon-worthy blend of fun banter, sexy showcases, and challenges that at times had my teeth grinding together. But, I wouldn’t have changed those minor frustrations for anything.
That same small town charm established with My Cone and Only transferred over to this intriguing follow up, and made for a sweet second chance at love, in the midst of loss and healing. The complexities (and toxicity) of both Tanner and Lucy’s family relationships were at the root of this story, and both their personal growths featured heavily. Susannah Nix is to be commended for the challenges and realities birthed by their story, and for the beauty that these two are creating together despite the rocky start.
I am really enjoying this series so far, and am looking forward to reading Ryan’s story in Pint of Contention when it releases in September, 2022.
