A charming and tender love story. A beautiful reminders we all have literal and figurative scars and battle we fight. I love how Ms. Jameson takes some classic romance tropes, turns the on their head, keeping them sexy, and instantly humanizes them. I appreciate the sexiness and the feminism in this Romance deeply. And who doesn’t love a dose of Big Sky country amongst a sexy, human tale of love?
I loved Joe and Laney and look forward to the sequels! The friendship set up between Charli, Laney, and Rose was page turner fodder enough!

This book was very different than what I usually read, but I enjoyed it. It was gifted to me by the narrator and my focus was on evaluating the narration, and I loved it. The tone was perfect and the inflections were just right, and I really enjoyed the narration.
The story follows a teacher who has a diagnosis of breast cancer and decides to have a one-night stand the night before her lumpectomy. She ends up meeting a "tough guy" who is working as an undercover agent and plans on making a really big move to bust the bad guys following that night.
The two hookup; however, they end up talking about everything and it looks like there may be more than a single night in their future.
The only thing I didn't like was how they talked about personal stuff during the sex scenes. I don't mean that in a shallow way but I felt like it was distracting from both perspectives and at times I wasn't clear on whether they were still engaging in intercourse, or they were passed that. Otherwise, I enjoyed the deep meanings of love, compassion, and empathy that the book espoused.
