Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this audiobook arc!
This was an adorable rom/com including a video producer and a Coast Guard rescue swimmer… and a rescue Great Dane. 

What I Liked:
Katherine Center writes fantastic banter! Their love, while kind of quick, feels authentic. I mean, it never claimed to be a slow burn. The audiobook narrator, Patti Murin, was amazing! I listened to the whole book in one day. I enjoyed the depth that was added to the characters by acknowledging their past traumas and how it affected their current situations.

What I Didn’t Like:
Even though the characters had depth, I feel like they resolved their conflicts pretty quickly. I am not sure that deeply held beliefs about body image and familial relationships would change in less than a month. 

But, maybe that’s the beauty of a rom/com.

Overall, would definitely recommend and will continue to read more from this author.
