Second chance romance isn't my first choice but when it's done well it's worth it and this is a fantastic second chance romance. I loved that both characters were pretty mature and there wasn't much negativity. The angst is perfect and the character growth had me rooting for them. It's an emotional rollercoaster, it made me laugh (the bear) and cry. It's sweet, spicy, and heartbreaking in places. 

The handling of the loss of a parent was beautifully done and I think the scenes with Laura Lee were some of my favourites. 

The chemistry and tension between Aurora and Wyatt was incredible but they were also so sweet together. Wyatt is a dream book boyfriend. I mean the house, I wouldve married him on the spot. 

There are some great side characters. Lexi really grew on me and I look forward to seeing more of her. Duke was definitely a favourite as well. Highly recommend and I look forward to returning to Smoky Heights.
