This. Book. 

Let me start out by saying that this book is a slow burn romance. That meant that by halfway through the book, when the tensions got high and it was obvious there was some attraction there, I was ready to shove the main characters together until they kissed!!

Adalyn and Cameron as a couple felt slow to get on board with, but once I was on board, I WAS ON BOARD. The tension was top tier and the longer they just ignored feelings, the more I wanted them to give in. Their snarl at each other just spurred on my love for them and made me cheer the romance on until FINALLY we got something. 

I read this book over the weekend and it was honestly quite an easy read. Even when I felt myself frustrated with anything happening in the story, it was still the book that I wanted to reach for and read more of. It’s an easy story to fall into and get lost in. 

Adalyn is everything and I, much like Cameron, wanted to fight anyone in her life who ever made her feel as though she was too much or a burden for them. She’s hard working and motivated and her dedication to her task, even if that task was a little girls’ soccer team, was great. I can’t wait to see more of her in later books because she deserves to have all her dragons slain and she deserves the best in the world. 

Cameron, my grumpy little Coach Chamomile. There’s just something about a grumpy man that gets me every time. Running away from his own fame (for reasons that are addressed in the book), Cameron chose a little town where hardly anyone knows who he is and honestly? Loved that for him. His dedication to his lady and willingness to coach a girl’s soccer team to help her own was *chef’s kiss* Cam is pretty much everything you could want in a grumpy and protective MMC and I highlighted so many swoony quotes from him. 

I’m not sure about most things, but I do know one. I want to live in whatever land Elena Armas’s MMCs come from.
