I loved this book, was perfect way to get lost in another world. Lots of world building with a good balance of story. 
I read the last 2 thirds of the book in one day, I was reading as I did everything - could hardly put it down. 
I am looking forward to book 2!

I can see why this a book was so hyped! I liked the length of it, too many romance and like little snapshots into characters lives but Mile High is a more realistic look into a persons life. I found it to be a little cheesy in parts but isn’t that what makes romance so cutesy?

5.0

Honestly the perfect small town, comforting, cosy romance. I was 20% through and just had to buy the rest of the series! 

I was giggling and kicking my feet, I loved the characters and watching them come into their own. Makes me want to open up a cafe! Perfect autumnal read, to be fair it it perfect for an all year round read.

I was close to DNF-ing the book but I wanted to know where the story was going. Honestly skipped any smut, was a bit too cringey for me. Also, what is the obsession with calling a woman’s intimate bits (don’t want to break any rules on saying exact words) a “sex” yet they use c**k or d**ck or hard on or member (equally as cringe to “sex” imo) for male anatomy? Anyhoo, I don’t think I’ll be continuing the series…
