A fluffy romantic read that gives the "big city girl with high powered job goes to small town where she falls in love with local hunk" trope a big twist. Easy to read and enjoyable overall, but I wasn't a fan of the spiciness level of the sex scenes. I've definitely read spicier stuff, but this was more than I wanted and really unnecessary as far as moving the plot along.

It’s good but not great. A lot of my problems with this book has to do with it coming across as the anti-hallmark movie book where the bitchy other woman gets explored. And for the first few chapters it is that. But then, as the romance builds that whole thing gets tossed to the wayside and it becomes a hallmark movie book with the Nora even saying she would move to be with a man she loves. The very thing she criticized her past boyfriends for doing. Obviously she doesn’t in the end but still. She becomes the thing she critiqued so heavily. So for me at least, it was a bit misleading. Besides that I thought the comedy was good, the steamy scenes were steamy. It’s what I expected. I was just let down.
