Guys, already a top read of 2025 for me. Even if I’ve only read a few books this year so far, this one will absolutely hold its place. I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again AIMEE AND B DO NOT GET THE HYPE THEY TRULY DESERVE. 

These books are great. They make me feel happy and giddy and heart eyed, but the best part is they are FUNNY. Like I actually LOL. Any book that can bring out these emotions for me are automatic 5 star reads. 

This one follows summer and max. Summer is the youngest Larkin sibling from timber creek, full of sunshine and rainbows and max is a dark “shadow daddy”. A beautiful contrast that WORKS. 

I loved summer, she was so whimsical and cute the entire book. And i loved max, hard around the edges but a real softy on the inside. The love story part was beautiful but there was also found family and a beautiful family dynamic, references to books that we’ve all read and loved that had me cackling, and even some parts that had me on the EDGE OF MY SEAT. 

I recommend those who like to read cutesy books as palate cleansers, or to those who love paranormal romance and small town romance. Also if you love a good decent sized series that is interconnected with another. These are for you. You don’t HAVE to do it this way but I recommend starting with deadlights cove series and then diving into timber creek. 

Thank you Aimee and B for my copy. I love yall sm
