I need a moment of silence for this cover model pls because holy shit 🥵 Ok I’m done drooling now. It felt so good to be back in Cherry Tree Harbor and I’ve been very anxious to get to Devlin’s story. Add in the amazing tropes and I was hooked by it after just one chapter. Lexi and Devlin went from a one night stand to enemies to a marriage of convenience and I was sooo here for it. Delvin never wanted to get married anyway so he sees no harm in helping Lexi out, he genuinely likes her and they have 🔥chemistry both in and out of the bedroom. These two had great banter too and the my wife moments made me lose my mind. Lexi’s sweet little grandma cracked me up, she was meddling and manipulative and made me miss my own grandma. Seeing the rest of the Buckley family was the icing on the cake and George Buckley made me so emotional IYKYK 🥹 Overall another fantastic addition to a series I’m just loving, Melanie is one of my favorites and I’m already dying to get the next book. 

The best thing about taking a chance on a new to you author is falling in love with their storytelling abilities and I’m so happy I decided to try @stacytravisauthor latest! This is the first in a new series set in a vineyard in Napa Valley and beyond it being a gorgeous setting, I really enjoyed seeing the inner workings of a vineyard. The tropes really couldn’t get better for me, you get single parent, nanny/boss, small town, slow burn and grumpy/sunshine. I don’t always love a slow burn but I understood and appreciated it here. Jackson always has his daughter, Fiona’s best interests in mind so before exploring a relationship with Ruby he was hesitant. Ruby was such a firecracker and exactly the type of character I would want as a friend. She’s an amazing older sister and I loved her bond with Ella and both her and Jackson place so much importance on family. Jax and Ruby had such a sweet and sexy relationship and their relationship blossomed into something so beautiful by the end. The grand gesture at the end was SO good and had me 🥹 Overall I really enjoyed this and definitely will be reading the next book. 

I have loved several of the authors books but this one is her best yet. There was something that felt very personal about this one and it caused me to forge a strong connection to the story and characters. I absolutely loved that it had two love stories to follow in alternating timelines and I enjoyed both couples journeys, they felt authentic and romantic and the addition of a deep musical connection only added to my enjoyment. If you like romance, music and second chances this was SO good.
