Thank you to Atria for this copy in exchange for a review. 

I think I have a thing for romances that have a few different tropes in them and this one really worked for me. 

Both main characters are a bit grumpy in the beginning for certifiable reasons. Margot is an author who just got hacked by a reader that ended in something being exposed that was for her eyes only. Forrest is a doctor is helping run his father’s business while also being his caretaker in Alaska.

Both Margot and Forrest are iffy on life and are quick to judge each other from the start.

I ate this up pool side in a morning on vacation.
