This is a sweet book that pairs steamy, tension filled, small town romance with an exploration of managing mental health in the face of new situations. This was a fun, diverse, and joyful romance for a cozy day!

I really enjoyed this romance! I loved the small town setting, the themes of complex family, mental illness, new adult friendships, boundaries & moving on from the past.

The romance itself was great. I loved the tension and the “betting” trope done in a non problematic way! The bingo scenes were cute and made me want to go play!

The sex scenes were open door and steamy.

I can’t wait to read what the the author does next! :-)

This was sexy, emotional yet satisfying story. There's sex, love, mental health, and trauma. 
I think kthe most important part of this entire story was COMMUNICATION! and a solid support system! 
I loved every chapter.

Friends with benefits to lovers with fat heroine. Aja and Walker make a deal to only hookup when one of them wins bingo—it’s an adorably fun read!
