Lex is funny, but I lived for the Emery moments. These people are just all sorts of crazy. 
It was all around just okay. Probably my least favorite out of the series so far. I thought Lex would be a little more wild.

April 2024 reread & audiobook: 

Lex befriended a few older ladies at a nursing home and has taken them under his wing. When William, one of their grandson's, comes back into the picture, Lex is protective of his ladies and won't give them up. But William is nothing like what Lex expected, in the best of ways. When William moves back home after a work assignment and visits his grandma he's immediately caught in the whirlwind that is Lex. He's never felt these types of feelings before, and can't help but fall under Lex's spell. 

These two could not be more different on the surface, but underneath it all they are two guys with horrible pasts who find comfort and love with one another. There's the usual silly antics you expect from a Cora Rose book, but I thought Lex would be more crazy. I think William helped tame his wild side a bit, while Lex brought quiet, stoic William out of his shell.  Though they had a fast, instant connection, they were there for each other when things got hard and were such a good match. 

My favorite part were all the Emery moments, I loved seeing him and August being all cute. All these characters are just so wild and it's fun to read about them even after their stories are done. There are so many different directions the series can go next, so many characters left to find their own love!
