I received a free copy through the author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review/opinion.

4 or 4.5 stars — Dudes, I seriously enjoyed this book, and yet this review is going to be subpar. I’m still in one of those modes, you know? I can’t even decide how to rate this one…I hate these book moods.

Honestly though, the book can be summed up as deliciously cute.

Weston was adorable, strangely dorky and sexy at the same time. I thought it was spot on when Abby observed he put on a happy face to help cope with his family shiznit.

Abby was the perfect amount of self-deprecating without going over the top. She was so caught up in trying to survive, I don’t think she saw herself quite clearly, or gave herself enough credit.

There was a great connection between the two of them, it was palpable. I felt their mutual attraction, but I liked seeing them connect on other levels first. It was wonderful to see how comfortable they were with one another after such a short period of time. And when the steamy stuff started? Hells yes!

I loved the little bits of Moo U hockey we got to see, including characters that have their own stories later in this series. I still really want Cooper’s story, even more so now.

I’m not sure if I was satisfied with how the Price stuff worked out. I knew it was coming, and maybe I wanted Abby to go guns blazing…but this was more realistic unfortunately.

Actually, mixed with all the cute there was a lot of very real moments for both of them — dealing with family drama of all kinds.

Both narrators were solid. Great emotion, great pacing, great voices.

See? Subpar review for what was an adorable story. Ah well. You get what you get!
