Sweet with low heat.

Jared is a very caring, well liked member of the Willow Springs community. He works the desk of the local inn and meets Xander, a gruff photo journalist who comes to the small town after receiving some life changing news.
They start hanging out together and delve into each other’s past. There’s chemistry between them but no steamy scenes so the heat level is low. The mid level angst is directed more to Xander’s life changing news and Jared’s childhood as opposed to the relationship between them. It does have a couple of minor glitches but they do get their HEA.
This is a sweet book, not a bad book, but not something I would read again as I wasn’t fully engaged with it.
