"I'm the one nobody wants until I get eighty million dollars."

Ya'll I am torn on how I feel about this book! The first half of the book was hard for me to digest. I was mostly disappointed in how Rose treated herself & what she perceived others felt about her. Granted I understood why she got those thoughts but as a plus size reader, I want my FMC to be happy and confident in their size. So it was  hard to hear her say some of things about herself. I also did not understand the purpose of the character for Miz Ames. I was hoping for some sort of resolution with her by the end but there really wasn't anything? Her note to her was not kind and very backhanded.  I am curious to see if we get any more answers in the upcoming books.

I definitely was much more invested in the story in the 2nd half. I thought the conflict for the couple was somewhat warranted.  I also like the friend group that Rose was able to make and think she really found herself in this city of Galway.

"Now I totally fucking get why people like getting naked."

Rosie overall was such a sweet person. She was giving an opportunity that most of us don't ever have and decided not to be selfish with it. All she ever wanted was to help people and by the end she was able to do so. Angus meant well in everything he did but sometimes his delivery was a little off. I do love how into he was with Rosie. He was very gentle and really listened to her stories from her past without any sort of judgment. 

I do like how the author made Angus a Vet and that he worked with discharged Vets. I thought that it was a very honorable career. And similar to Rose, just likes helping people and wanting the best for them.  This definitely had more spicier bits that I was expecting (going in I thought it was closed door).   
As much as this wasn't my favorite romance, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and could not stop reading it. I know this was the author's debut so perhaps she was just getting into her groove. I probably will check out the 2nd book in the series to see what's happening with July. 

I paired my reading in tandem with the audio. I was not familiar with either names for the narrators. The female narrator, Michelle Price, was great and I wish she narrated the whole book. The male narrator, Paul Bellantoni, just was not the voice I imagined that Angus would sound like. He definitely sounded older than his 36 year old self. I took me well into the 2nd half to adjust to listen to his tone. 

If you like a Hallmark story with a hot handyman & a fat FMC who is coming into her own plus throw $80 million dollars in there - this is the book for you!
