3.0

The book is most about Winn settling into a small town as an outsider, and trying to find her place in it while forming new meaningful connections with the townspeople – or, at least the reader getting an introduction to the Eden family members to pave the road for sequels of their stories. The characterbuilding is the strongest part of the book, the main characters have depth to them even when they have some clear tropey characteristics to them.

The different plot aspects of this book feel a little unbalanced, the outsider feeling taking the biggest part, leaving the relationship mostly just lust and the mystery only small moments. The plot is entertaining, if the unbalance is something you can be happy with. I know I was, but the book feels like there was potential for more.

The romance in the book is insta-lust that begins a casual situationship that includes almost accidentally sneaked in mundane moments, which then turn it into a real relationship. I find it a little hard to buy the emotional closeness, but Griffin's grumpy adoration is cute nevertheless. I just wish the plot gave more in terms of the emotional buildup of the relationship instead of focusing on the steamy aspects.

The mystery/crime plot also feels somewhat shallow, we barely get updates on it. The hints are there and the end reveal is surprising, but this doesn't feel as big a part of the plot as the blurb made it seem like: I mean,

the killer isn't interacting with Winn at all until the reveal

. I was expecting to feel more threat looming over the main character, but she just tried to investigate if

it was a suicide or murder

and barely anyone else bothered to consider the case at all.

I think I'll continue the series to learn about the next Eden grump, but I'm not in a hurry to do so.

Not really my cup of tea but it made for a quick read.

It’s a cliche romance book with all your typical (read predictable not necessarily bad) storylines. The plot is mostly about how hot these two find each other, very light on the murder mystery element. Also lots of setting up for the rest of the series by meeting the siblings and establishing the town which slows the book down. Fine overall however, I cannot forgive the epilogue! SPOILERS AHEAD:

Seriously she gets pregnant 2 months after a major gut wound?? And then proceeds to get pregnant ONE MONTH after having her first child. This was just so unrealistic and ridiculous that I just about had to close the book and walk away.

Spice: 3.5/5 🌶️
