TLDR: Wholesome small town guy Daniel meets stressed out city girl Alexis. Alexis gets space from her controlling family and learns a lot about herself. Read it 😊

Plot: Talented city ER doctor Alexis from a high pressure medical field dynasty family gets roadside help from a country B&B running hunk, Daniel, a few small towns away. Their connection is electric straight away, but can they combine their worlds?

Praise: I always love how Abby Jimenez handles tough topics with empathy and care and can also make me smile or laugh out loud at banter or flirty dialogue. In this book in particular, I appreciate that our FMC, Alexis, grows a great deal of perspective when she gets some space away from some controlling and high powered father. Her story is empowering and inspiring.

Critiques: I honestly don’t have any critiques about how the story was put together. It uses some tropes I don’t love (insta-love), but if they aren’t heavily relied on as the story goes, I get over it. I think Abby gives us enough throughout the story to feel the love deepen realistically.

CW/TW: There is a side plot of domestic violence in which the main characters are trying to help the person to leave.
