I somehow didn’t see the content warnings for this one so I need to put it down for now. However I really enjoyed the cover, the writing style and the premise itself. I’m curious to see what other books this author has published as I enjoyed the portion I read of this one but unfortunately the content warnings are ones I personally need to avoid currently.

Thank you so much for allowing me to read this eARC. I totally recommend this to romance lovers. I appreciate the opportunity to leave honest feedback voluntarily.

The cover of this book was done well. The bright colorful jacket draws you in, setting the scene for the coastal Florida backdrop. As a Floridian, I felt the setting was right up my alley. I did, however, struggle to connect with the characters in the story. Sam and Austin, for me, needed a bit more developing to get me invested in their connection. I might give this a reread to see if my perception was off, but I really did want to love this "returning home" theme and letting go of past grudges which we can all relate to. Thank you to Kristin Wollett, Forever Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC.
