Over the past year or so Laura has become one of my favorite authors, especially when I’m in the mood for a small town romance. (When am I not? 😂) My excitement when she announced a brand new series was off the charts and then when I realized it heavily focused on found family I just knew this would be my new obsession and I was so right. Sometimes the first book in a new series can be a bit shaky as the author is trying to set the stage for a whole new world but there was none of that here. I was instantly invested in the town, Romeo and his group of friends turned family and Demi and her struggles with her family and new business. They started off as semi enemies then started to develop a friendship then turned into more and thus progression was equal parts sweet and sexy. I loved them together and adored the support they showed each other. Beefcake did steal the show for me IYKYK 😂 but overall an amazing start to a new series that I know I’ll

continue to be obsessed with all year.
