✅ Fake dating
✅ Golden retriever MMC
✅ Body positive FMC
Steam:
🔥5/5
This book got me in the warm and fuzzies. I loved how caring Rory was and clearly head over heels for Hazel. Yet he kept their fake relationship light without revealing his feelings until she was ready. Love a confident MMC who can read when the FMC is so obviously in the deep end yet gives her all the space without taking away attention, a caring MMC who’s a boss in bed _swoon_
I loved how Hazel had her own ambition and could pull her own weight against bullies and antagonists. She was definitely one to win over because of her past trauma, and it was so sweet to see her learn to trust Rory.
Stephanie Archer can definitely write steamy build-up like in her other series — the payoff was sooooo good.
