Have you ever taken a trip only to have EVERYTHING go incredibly wrong?

Cassidy and Luke are trying to get from North Carolina to California - separately. Both are running incredibly late due to the snow, first he takes her parking spot, then he doesn’t hold the door of the shuttle and causes her to miss it. Then the plane gets a crack and has to land in Missouri. Then the train is not only late but it’s also the speedy Amtrak they expected.

And somehow in the midst of all this chaos, a friendship & love is formed in one of the best meet cutes & Grump/Sunshine, Strangers-to-Lovers (which both may be my absolute favorite romance tropes) story I’ve read so far this year. Their banter, their chemistry, their connection… it’s just that good.

However, I was screaming at them to stop thinking that they weren’t enough for the other and just admit their feelings. And the third act breakup - wrecked me. But Livy Hart knows how to bring two characters back together with a beautiful grand gesture.

Livy Hart may become an auto-buy author for me if she keeps producing books like this.
