The FMC does get left behind at one point and the resulting feelings do get discussed. One of the primary settings of this book is the MMC's bar, which means you'll see alcohol and the results of drinking too much as well as bar fights and injuries from various exploits. Sexual content while semi detailed in what is written, is fade to black/primarily implied. Animal cruelty has to deal with the fact that tourists don't understand how to properly interact with wildlife.ems_rxlibrary's review against another edition

I listed ‘sexual content’ as a minor content warning, but any sex-related scenes are fade-to-black.
The book has a lot of cute moments and is

While I enjoyed the audiobook, for the most part, I did feel like the narrator made some of the characters sound a little strange and it caused the chemistry between them (romantic or not) to feel a little forced at times. This was especially true for the ladies in the story. It made me think that Lana was a lot more provocative and that Zoey was a bit of a bimbo dork. However, if you look past the way they sounded, the story itself was entertaining.
I read that it was a grump and sunshine trope, but that really didn't feel like the case to me. If Graham is supposedly a grump, he certainly didn't show it with Zoey. I realize it's more the way he feels about tourists overall, but he was more flirty and goofy than grumpy to me. He just had a complex when it came to tourists.
...whiiiich really irritated me. I get it - it's the point of this story, but Graham's prejudice against tourists REALLY irks me. The fact that he's so adamant against them and yet he literally runs a place called The Tourist Trap bugged me to no end. Stupid reason to dislike a book, but it definitely knocked the rating down a couple of notches for me
I'm glad that I read this though because it's lighthearted for the most part and was a great lead into the sequel!
