A simple read. All the characters were lovable, albeit, lacking in diversity. I adored the setting of the book. Charming Cove seems so cozy and the Garden of Enchantment sounds beautiful and a nature lover's dream.
That being said, I didn't really find the book captivating. I personally didn't feel the chemistry between Aria and Callan. While there is sexual tension between them, they clearly secretly like each other, there was just something lacking in their love story, for lack of a better word. Their sex scene was so weird and out of the blue.
