Honestly I was sad this was over, I expected more chapters to pop off!
This book was really good, like I was feeling frustrated but this is a mid slow burn so it’s normal. I’m not a very patient person, so …
I started this book with no recollection that I’ve read 2 of the previous one’s lol but once I started reading and seeing this previous couples popup I recognized them right away. And I honestly love when that happens because it means that those characters made an impact in my readers life.
This couple: wow! The story’s about Darren & Blossom.
Now, I don’t even how old is Darren but Blossom is a 32 (she starts with 28-29) yo woman who all her life she has lived in this small college town. She took care of her younger sister since she was 17 so now she’s in college working for Darren.
Our MMC is the owner of the bar where Blossom starts working and he is actually broken, his biggest asset is shattered and he mourns everyday until the day he dies (his words).
They both feel their connection, and honestly since the beginning they were doomed to be together.
Their relationship doesn't actually happen until 3 years later. like HIT ME WHERE IT HURTS!!
Their chemistry is there, but neither of them is making a move until someone else asks her out and Darren feels that she is actually slipping away.
Did he need the push? Yes. Was it the alpha protector in him? Also yes. So if you're not into that, you'll hate this.
She did too, but she (as i did) forgave him pretty quickly lol
Anyways, their relationship is pretty amazing, they both push each other to their best selfs and they eventually realize that they needed each other. There is the inevitable 3rd act breakup, just a warning but its worth it. He needed to go through that in order to have a better future with her.
Now, i love both characters. They both need to go to therapy though lol just be warned that both chracters are flawed and they might not be everyone's cup of tea. Specially Blossom, she's tooooooo nice. Her heart is made of gold, im not even kidding.
Tropes: College romance (meh kinda), older couple (in their 30s), forced proximity, boss/employee, tragic past, alpha male.
