For some reason I was thinking we got the male POV in the other books I’ve read by the author this summer, but this time we did not. That’s okay, it probably made for some of the stuff that got to be slowly revealed, but I would have enjoyed it for sure. We did get to spend some time with characters from the other books though too. I liked the whole enemies to lovers type of story for Samantha and Travis, although that kind of got us past quickly. Then there was the whole how would they be able to overcome the distance since her job was in NYC, and he didn’t plan to leave his hometown because he needed to be there for his mom. Plus he was the mayor now, and seemed to be pretty happy there anyway, even if he did miss things about the city.

I enjoyed all of how their relationship developed, their banter again was good, as well as a lot of fun situations they got themselves into. There was a goat that seemed to want to help Samantha when she was doing her pilates on the porch, I’m surprised she didn’t pull the goat into some goat yoga, lol. The cat was fun as well, and I liked what happened with the animals at the end of the book.

There were a few slow spots for me as I read, but they were quickly overcome by the banter or fun situations. It is closed door bedroom scenes, although we get the kissing and leading up to that and it isn’t left completely off page, so that was a little more my style too. There was also the sheriff who called Travis a weird nickname, Vis-Vis? That was just kind of out there for me.

I really like how they came up with the solution in the end, and the drama for drama’s sake didn’t really occur because they figured out what to fix together, and so that made the ending one I really liked! Another winner from Camilla Isley!
