I was surprised to hear Lexi Blake was writing a small-town romance series, but I gave it a go. 
I enjoyed Lila and Armie’s story. They had both suffered and the author does a wonderful job of having them grow and learn. My one issue was Armie’s back and forth and the ease Lila forgave him. I understand where he is coming from, but being stuck in his issues hurt her multiple times, and she kept giving him another a chance. The author set up Lila’s reasoning for doing so, but I couldn’t quite believe it.
The setting reminded me of Bliss as did some of the characters, which was a lot of fun. 
Overall, this is great start to a new series and I look forward to spending more time in Pappilou.
Solid 3.5

Loved it!! Very well written, a definitely good steam factor to it, it was funny, a little suspense, action, drama all around great read! It touched on some difficult subjects it was very entertaining! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
