I will start by saying that Melissa Brayden is one of my favourite authors. I’ve loved her books from the moment I read Entangled and rush to read her books as soon as I can.

With that out of the way I have to say that this one just didn’t hit for me. I’m surprised with how unconnected I felt to the story.

The characters were there. The setting was great especially since Beautiful Dreamer is one of my favourite books by her so it was nice to see little glimpses of the characters I loved from that book. I just didn’t love Savanna and Kyle. Their love story just felt flat to me and the obstacles in their way felt forced.

For the first time this is a book by Melissa Brayden that I’ll probably not return to reread.

It’s closer to a 3.5 but I’ll round up I’ve had amazing times reading her other books.

Thanks to NetGallery and the Publisher for this Arc in exchange for my honest review.

If you like a small-town romance this can be the book for you. I had an issue to really get into the love story between Savanna and Kyle that started as insta love, then one year apart without any contact (why???), instead decide to meet at a bridge, Kyle not showing up there, but instead show up in Savanna’s hometown a few months later. Then so much back and forth and interactions with everyone in this small town until they get their HEA and, in my mind, way too little romance and getting to know the MC's.
