"I went into this book with high expectations; I’ve loved previous books written by Penny Reid. This is a good book, but it didn’t meet my high expectations. Jess is a calculus teacher and I love how Penny uses smart women in her novels. However, Jess didn’t come off as just being brainy or loving math so it seemed weird other than the occasional mention of someone Jess admired who worked in mathematics. Also wasn’t sure how she ended up teaching Cletus who is older? Jess is just a little too southern and has wayyyyy too much repetitive inner dialogue. Dwayne is a nice sturdy character and seemed like the perfect man in most instances. However he feels a little one dimensional and the entire side story with the biker gang felt so unnecessary. The biker gang felt like it was added to make the Winton brothers be the perfect amount of dangerous and attractive but it all just seemed really stupid. Overall, it was a good book (narration wasn’t my fave for audiobooks) but I’m hoping the other brothers have a better story. 2/5🌶"

"<strong>Not at all what I expected. </strong><br/><br/>I did like this book but the storyline isn’t what I thought it’d be. First of the relationship between Duane and Jessica start almost immediately. I didn’t expect this. I figured it’d be a good portion of the book displaying her hate for him then shows how it all turned around. Also there weren’t any real conflicts. Yes there were conflicts but they didn’t last long and they didn’t seem serious. The entire book was about their relationship. While I like a good romance this was just a bit much for me. If I read another in the series I’m hoping it’ll be different because the character won’t already have a history."

"She has a different series that coincides with this one that is really good. “Knitting in the city”"
