Goodness, I couldn't help but fall in love with the town of Falcon and this sweet and sensitive story about two people trying to find their way home, only to find it in each other. The title speaks for itself because there's absolutely nothing rushed about Darcy Wilde and Robbie Dalton's love story. There are shared moments where I couldn't help but snicker and shake my head and then moments where I found myself getting teary-eyed. I wish I could list down all my favorite moments in this review but then that would be spoiling the overall experience for those who have yet to discover the joy that is this book. Suffice it to say that this was small town romance that was big on emotion and even though nothing was rushed, it was far from boring and I found myself not getting enough of the very quirky but memorable cast of characters.
This was such an excellent beginning to a series that I have a feeling will quickly become a favorite. Readers are introduced to the town and what makes it tick, as well as its people, some of whom stood out more than others. There's Darcy's cousin and Robbie's best friend Logan Wilde, who was with Robbie in Afghanistan and is also an assistant coach on the football team as well as a budding restaurateur and Miss Ada Wilde, Darcy and Logan's grandmother who took them in when Darcy was abandoned by her mother and Logan by his widower father, respectively. Of course, a special shout-out goes to Avery who was a dog that stole the spotlight time and again and who had me shedding a tear in chapters sixteen and seventeen. I'm highly recommending Slow and Steady Rush for your weekend read and give it five out of five stars. ♥
