This was my first book by Brighton Walsh, and I read it in 5 hours. 5. Hours. It was the perfect mix of tried and true romance tropes, characterization, spice, and heart. Obviously, it was grumpy/kind-of-sunshine (but maybe "brat" is a better descriptor?😏), but also the whole small-town vibe is a favorite of mine. Overall, it was a great way to spend an afternoon, and I will definitely be reading many more books by this author and in this world. 😍
