After the Storm by Laura Pavlov

5.0

This was such a bittersweet read for me. I was thrilled to finally be reading Cage’s book but so sad that it’s the final installment in the Cottonwood Cove series. I was going to pace myself, which lol, but of course as soon as I started I couldn’t put it down and finished in one sitting. I already knew Cage was a grump but his moodiness besides Presley’s adorable charm was the best combo. Their story is a second chance as they dated as teenagers and that may be my favorite second chance style. Something about high school sweethearts reconnecting just gets me every time and these two were perfect for each other. Gracie was the most adorable kid as always but seeing her relationship with Presley blossom as they bonded made me teary. My sadness at saying goodbye to the Reynolds family was made a little better by the epic ending scenes the author wrote for them, it was such a fitting end to this beloved series and if you loved Honey Mountain too you will go crazy over this. I’ll stop rambling, but this series is a must for fans of small town swoony and spicy romance.
