*closer to 4.5 stars*

This is my favorite book in the series so far! I absolutely love the grumpy/sunshine trope, especially when the woman is the grumpy one, so this was a delight to read. Bennett was swoon-worthy even if he had his flaws. It was interesting that his issue was that he was a pushover and people took advantage of that while hers was that she needed to learn how to be more independent. Their respective challenges created a natural source of conflict, so the issues they had never felt forced.

I truly appreciated how their relationship slowly developed and how good their chemistry was. I LOVED the private grand gesture at the end. Also, I loved seeing the characters from previous books.
