Book 4 in the Donnellys of Dogwood Cove series

This book was so good. Cam is in a town where she doesn't fit in and the people there don't like her. After the loss of her grandfather, the last person in her family, Beckett rushes to her side. She finds out that her grandfather left her a trust fund, but with a stipulation that she has to get married in order to get it. Beckett suggests that they get married and asks her to go back to Dogwood Cove with him and she agrees.

Let me tell you. Beckett is described as kinda dorky, quiet, and shy, but he wasn't so quiet or shy in the bedroom, if you know what I mean. The mouth on that man! I mean jeez louise!!

I liked that Cam had a lot of character growth. She deserved her happy ever after.

I also liked that we got to see the rest of the family. Once again Sawyer made me laugh out loud:

"Don't tell me you never walk around your house with a nudey bootie. It's shit, man. Just Freeball it and relax."

I am not ashamed to say I sat here for 5 minutes and laughed at "nudey bootie."

A huge thanks to Julia Jarrett for this ARC!
