When we first met Trevor and Teresa in Falling Slowly, I knew I needed to read their story one day. Thankfully, Enni has given us that story in this standalone follow-up Valentine’s Day romance.

I absolutely love Trevor. He’s a bearded Scotsman who isn’t ashamed of his feelings, is very protective of those he cares about, and he has a kilt. What more could you need from a swoon-worthy main character? What I really loved about Trevor is the fact that his love for Teresa toed the line between sweet romance and something darker; his obsession was borderline crazy, but that level of love and devotion was definitely book boyfriend worthy. Trevor was a bit unhinged, but in the best way. It’s been a while since I’ve come across a male main character who was this obsessed in a contemporary, non-dark romance.

It was hard not to feel for Teresa. She went from being cheated on by someone with no devotion to her, to having the complete opposite in Trevor. It would’ve been a lot for anyone to have thrown at them, but she also had a history with Trevor that made his love for her even harder to trust. I loved the journey Teresa took herself on, learning little by little that it was okay to let someone else in. It felt real; there was no miracle fix to their relationship, no all-in love affair. Both Teresa and Trevor had to put in the work, and it made their happily-ever-after that much more enjoyable.

I loved returning to Cozy Creek with Enni. Originally contributing to a larger collection with a shared location, Enni has truly taken Cozy Creek to new heights with this newest title. The Valentine’s Day timeframe made this little town that much more homey and welcoming.

I love Enni’s ability to craft such lovable and relatable characters, and Trevor and Teresa may just be my favorite couple of hers yet. There was just something about Trevor’s obsessive/possessive nature and Teresa’s broken but healing personality that kept me turning the pages. Enni’s writing was just as easy to love as her characters and just as cozy as the book’s setting. This was a perfect Valentine’s Day romance, and I’m so glad Enni gave us Trevor and Teresa’s story.
