This is was absolutely PERFECT! It’s everything I love about a romance book honestly. A second chance, right person wrong time, a guy who LOVES his girl, a girl coming home to figure out her life, two people who have LOVED each other, time apart to grow (even though it HURTS), fake dating!! Someone else to throw everyone off the fact that they were sneaking around!! I really loved this book so much, I was so pleasantly surprised!

Watching Zac and Melody really fall in love, watching everything all into place, was so beautiful!! Seeing Zac finally get what he’s been waiting for, but also knowing how much Melody’s been through and being SO thoughtful of her feeling and wants and needs was SO SWEET! She had really been through it with her ex, and since coming home she was having some really heavy realizations…and she was struggling to work through that. But the fact that Zac wasn’t going to let her go if he could help it all while giving her the time and space she needed??? It was perfection.

Also I could read a whole book on the little family that Zac, Melody, and Noah were!! Zac and Noah specifically were so sweet. And seeing them through Melody’s eyes made my heart SO happy! She wanted her own family and she found it!!

I cannot wait for Brooks’s book!! And I will be going back to read Ellie’s backlist and I’m already so excited for that!!

This book was magic and thank you SO MUCH to Atria for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!!
