I really enjoyed it. I tried to watch the show and couldn’t stand it.

Omg! I'm not really a contemporary person but this was great. I started the series on Netflix first, but decided to read the books first. Robyn did catch how scary people with addiction can get when all they want is to score a high. I'm definitely will continue on with the series.

This was complete drivel and I mean that in a mostly nice way.

Look, sometimes you just need a really fluffy novel. One you don't have to worry about at all. The equivalent of a Hallmark Christmas movie. The difficulty is in finding your sweet spot. A book that is just charming and engaging enough for me might be completely, mind-numbingly dumb to someone else. It's a deeply personal thing, like humor or whether you sleep with a flat sheet.

For me, this fit the bill. I loved the scenery, the characters were at least amusing, and even though the entire plot was perfectly obvious, I enjoyed the ride. Sometimes you just need a story that you don't have to worry about, where true love wins, the good guys get rewarded and the bad guys get what's coming to them. It's very comforting.

It only works if you don't think too hard about it though. If you do, you're going to get upset at some things. Those include a vein of body-shaming that ran through a lot of the narration. I got really tired of reading about "trim" and "fit" women who had flat tummies three months into pregnancies, and how all the people who were contemptible also had bad teeth and thin hair and were not "fit" or "trim" as well as a plot thread that I thought was going somewhere and then just . . . didn't.

But if you're looking for a novel with an improbably beautiful, sensitive, good-in-a-crisis, badass, goodhearted woman and her sensitive, ex-Marine, over 6 foot bartender with broad shoulders who takes care of his community, is good with babies and housekeeping, voluntarily gets blood tests for STDs, and wants to have lots of conversations about consent, then this is for you!

Also, there should have been a dog. Or a donkey. Maybe a horse or a lovable hen.

Read this book after watching the Netflix series, which I loved. The show is way better. I enjoyed reading the juicy parts of this book (*waggles eyebrows*) but the writing quality isn't great and the modern city girl kept saying "boy howdy" - boy howdy, people.

I enjoyed this book. A very cute story.

For romantic fluff, it was pretty good! I wanted it to keep going.

I really liked this book. It reminded me a lot of the movie "Doc Hollywood." The characters were great and the story moved at a nice pace. There were some parts that were a bit predictable, but overall it was a good story and I will continue reading the series.
