This was such an amazing start to a new series, if you like swoony small town stories with a Southern twist this was sooo good. Lu and Riley fell hard and fast for each other one summer when they were teenagers until summer came to an end and Riley dumped Lu without warning. Fast forward ten years and she’s back in town for her friend’s wedding and Riley is the best man. So a great set up with second chance, a little bit of enemies to lovers and of course some small town charm. The setting was so beautiful and well described and I loved the inclusion of so much delicious sounding food making every about Bald Head Island just feel so idyllic. Lu was a fantastic heroine but Riley was the ultimate book boyfriend, he’s patient and super sweet yet determined to win Lu back and goes out of his way to make her feel comfortable and safe. Their connection is undeniable and their chemistry was insanely hot, this was one sexy read. Adored it and I’m gonna need book two asap after that final chapter
