4.5 stars.

I enjoyed every moment of this book.
Aiden and Riley are just so wonderfully likeable and real. Riley can be clumsy and laugh at himself about it and so thoughtful towards others. Aiden is very intense and also awkwardly sweet.
They meet via an Outback Boys adventure weekend away and an initial spark of interest is lit. A delightful romance begins as they spend time together, the initial spark burns brighter each time they get together and soon ignites into steamy times. The journey to an HEA is not all smooth surfing and paddle boarding. All is made right with open communication and an acknowledgement and acceptance of past struggles.
The side characters keep things interesting especially Aiden’s Pop who always made me giggle.
A truly enjoyable, engaging, well written book with minimal angst, scenes that left me giggling and others that gave me all the feels.
