5.0

I really loved reading this book. It was such an easy read for me – I just wanted to sit there and devour it all in one go. Willa was such a feisty and fun main character, I loved how she handled Cade, and their chemistry was so delicious. Cade was so grumpy and I actually liked that he was, initially, a bit mean – because it gave Willa so many chances to put him in his place.

The sexual tension between them was just so good and the love scenes were very hot and well-written. There are parts of this book that made me blush, to be quite honest! But there’s also some really lovely moments between them, especially as their relationship develops.

I also want to say I really loved the relationship between Willa and Luke – it was so cute and adorable. I loved that her way of dealing with kids wasn’t typical – she was messy with Luke and she treated him like an equal – it both came naturally to her and didn’t come naturally to her, it was such a good change of pace.

Overall this was just such a good book – a fun, easy read, very entertaining, sweet and steamy – I just loved it.
