I had very high hopes for this book! The first book in this series, Her Summer with the Marine , blew me away. I was totally blown away by that book and I was really looking forward to more books in this series. Unfortunately, this book was just ok for me. I kept hoping that it would grab me by the throat and pull me in and it never truly happened. The MCs didn’t even really touch each other until around 50%. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking for the MCs to be shoving their tongues down each other’s throats at 10% in. But, the thing is, Piper and Cade had really great chemistry when they first meet and I thought there was a lot to work with there. And then, it was all about the grocery store, the family feud, and the two steps forward/one step back dance that they did around each other. I really did like Cade, he was a former Marine, turned cowboy and he was quite charming and sexy. He said “darlin’” a lot and that tends to go a long way with me.
Did I enjoy it? Yes, I did. But it just had a hard time with everything that was going on in the town and the issues that both Piper and Cade had to deal with. It was just a lot to process I guess and it all seemed to come down around them at the same time. Not a bad book, it just didn’t blow my skirt up like I had hoped it would.
