As a Michigander who lives on the West side of the state, loved the references to Grand Haven. It's so rare to see that in a big name book! Overall, this was a sweet romance, though maybe not my favorite of Blake's books. The mis/no communication trope isn't always my favorite, but it does work for these characters. Plus, there's a great cast of side characters that really help make the story!
