A cute, clean, ultra cheesy summer romance.
I like that Cat did everything she could to help her uncle because of everything he did to raise her. Her nicknames for Noah were both cute and callous; while creative, the names also signified all she saw of him was his money. I felt Cat was somewhat childish due to her holding what went down with his sister against him when he had no part in it.
Noah was sweet. I like how he helped Cat help herself. And I liked that HE was the one with the anxiety problems, not her. It was refreshing to see a not-perfect MMC. But they were there for each other, and that's what counts.
The marketing photo shoot and blackberry picking were my two favorite scenes.
I did like how Cat and his sister solved their past issues and handled them like mature adults - once Cat "grew up" and actually talked to her. I was worried the sister would still be bratty like her best friend. I fully expected and was pleasantly surprised there was no OW drama with his ex.
Side note: Was La Croix an investor or something? It was mentioned at least 20 times.

3.5 stars rounded up.

This was a sweet dual POV, forced proximity, billionaire romance set on the same small Florida island as the rest of the Falling for Summer books. I loved Cat and Noah who each unknowingly had crushes on the other as kids. Cat needs money to help her uncle get out of debt and so agrees to work as Noah's assistant for the summer. With great mental health rep (anxiety, panic attacks and grief), unresolved bullying trauma and so many swoony moments, this was another win and great on audio too! I also really enjoyed all the cameos from other characters in the series! Many thanks to NetGalley and the author for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest revivew!

This book utterly charmed me! Cat loves her small town beach life working at her family's Bed and Breakfast, but money troubles lead her to accept local billionaire Noah's offer to work as his personal assistant. I love a dual-narration audiobook, and these narrators did a nice job, though the female narrator sounded rather robotic at the beginning. I highly recommend this book if you like small town romance with a sprinkling of family, personal growth, and billionaires-they're-just-like-us vibes. I can't wait to check out more from Kasey Stockton and the Falling for Summer series!

Thank you to Dreamscape Media for gifting me with an ALC to review. All opinions are my own.

I had to listen to this as soon as I got it. I am so excited for this series. It is a cute romcom book with depth. There are many popular tropes found in the story. It was a quick listen. The narrators felt a little disconnected at the start but I was sucked into the story quick and didn’t notice after that.
