I really enjoyed this book. I really didn’t care for Kate in the beginning and wasn’t sure I would be able to like her, but as the story unfolds I did. As the story went on and her past was revealed and I could read her inner thoughts about her past, I came to empathize with her and understand why she made some of the choices she did. I liked the character development of Kate throughout the book. Beck was such a good man and I loved his character, patience, and how he loved Kate for who she was including all her flaws.

I would recommend reading the other books in this series before this one.

Read this book if you enjoy:
* it’s always been you
* he falls first
* her ex’s best friend
* pining
* forced proximity
* past trauma (FMC)

I read the book in KU and listened to the audiobook. The audiobook is 5/5 narration. It is done in duet narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais. Connor Crais voice was just chef’s kiss!

I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
