This book checked some major boxes for me. I love an unapologetic queen of an FMC. Dakota was no-nonsense wild woman. Wyatt was a golden retriever, hopelessly in love - and I loved how both of them met in the middle.

Spice was great. There wasnโ€™t too much outside drama. The moments with Wyattโ€™s little girl were adorable. 

Thereโ€™s a couple of missing pieces - mainly, making Wyatt a pro hockey player but not letting that play much into the plot overall at all. But I enjoyed the book overall, so it hit the four-star mark for me.
