Spice Rating: 🌶️
I flew through this adorable insta-love romance! The banter, the dating "lessons," and the chemistry were off the charts. I also appreciated that I was able to read this book without having read the first of the romance series.
Annie is a sweet girl from the small town of Rome, Kentucky who owns a flower shop and is looking to get married and start a family. Everyone knows her as "Angel Annie;" her sisters and the whole town only see her as this perfect version of herself. Will is a bodyguard for a famous singer, Amelia, who is about to marry Annie's brother, Noah (their love story is the first book of the series, When in Rome); he is seen as a mysterious bad boy who is known for his tattoos and lack of committed relationships. Annie and Will are an unlikely pair, but when Amelia enlists Will's help to teach Annie the art of dating, there are instant sparks that neither Will nor Annie trust. They both have their reasons to be nervous and fear committing to one another, but the more time they spend together, the more they realize resistance is futile.
I loved the romance in this book along with the character growth. Both Annie and Will have traumatic pasts that have shaped their personalities and others' views of them, but, together, they are able to escape these boxes and truly shine as individuals and as a couple.
