 Set in 2004, grumpy/sunshine, cozy slow burn romance with spice, small town, second chance romance. I personally love how Russ is just his whole vibe I love! He’s a nurse and yes his life isn’t perfect and he’s made mistakes but he is such a caring person! I love how he connects with Aster which is just so romantic how he wants the best for her and even she is connected to Russ. I disliked how Aster’s son acted throughout most of the book like he is forbidding their love, it was just kinda annoying but I know Liam has good intentions. Liam comes to enjoy Russ as the story develops and it’s just so cute! The story is pretty deep and so are the characters. This story has very flawed characters which I absolutely love. The story is cute and I’m just happy that Russ and Aster find their love.
