This book was an ARC I received from Valentine PR in exchange for an honest review. This will not change my review.
I Can't
I just can't. I'm not a fan of cop romances at all and yet here I am giving this 4 stars as if that wasn't even there. I don't remember putting in for this ARC (which is how we wound up with this opener) but I loved it so much nonetheless.
The Tropes
• age gap
• small town
• dual pov
• single dad/nanny
• dad's coworker
• enemies to lovers(ish)
• man obsessed
• small town antics
Things I Loved
I loved the way Olivia always came first no matter what in the relationship. It was Olivia then themselves at all times and I adored it.
Things I Didn't Love
Honestly, simply the cop part. It felt ick. And the recklessness of his gun being with him at the end. I know that's rich coming from someone who enjoys mafia romances, but if this is supposed to be contemporary, that situation will make me uncomfortable every time.
The Final Verdict
Calling all small town romance lovers. This one's for y'all. This is for all the girls who have made the mistake of loving someone because they fulfilled needs for the time being and now think it will never happen again. This one is for the hopeless romantics. This one is for just about everyone.
