Oy this book! I looooooooooooved Luna and Brady...ugh!

Small town love
Opposites Attract
Grumpy/Sunshine
Dirty Talk
Alpha vibes

Ugh...*chefs kiss*

I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series (went ahead and bought the rest of the series so I can binge them). I read this in 24 hours. I just couldn't (nor did I want to) put it down.

It's all the typical tropes, typical hardships, but it was so worth it. You get a good idea of all the other brothers so I'm very excited for the rest of the series!

I saw a TikTok about this book and took a chance on it, and I couldn’t be happier. This lived up to my expectations and more!! It was a perfect execution of the grumpy/sunshine trope. I loved every minute of this book!

Brady and Luna were so refreshing to me; both characters had a very unique voice and it showed in their words and actions. Brady had been accustomed to his organized and tidy world, and Hurricane Luna upset his routine in more ways than one. Taking a chance on her definitely paid off. She helped him loosen up — but sure a little bit, because he’s our favorite grump

I loved this book, another one that I was influenced to read by BOOKTOK! I love me a good grumpy x sunshine trope, and Brady and Luna were perfect for that! Not sure how I felt about the spice scenes with Brady being overly dominant, I was expecting Luna to take over

wouldve been a 3.5 if for not the fucking booktok reference that made me roll my eyes so far back that they got stuck

apart from that it was compelling and quick to read. nothing too boring and once i got it going i couldnt stop!

There were some parts I thought could've developed better. But in the end it was an entertaining book.

Small and easy to read.

This one was good but not great. I liked the progression of their relationship and how fiesty the MFC was. It seemed like it took a while for the MMC to like the FMC as a person instead of just her body.
