okay, Tessa is always a favorite of mine but something about this series is hitting DIFFERENTLY. This one especially had the yearning dial turned up to the point that Mrs. Bailey broke the dial completely off. The way that their relationship grew had my heart in a vice grip. The friends-to-lovers pipeline was sweet yet so painful because the insta-love was so intense. I think that Tessa knocked the tension right out of the park on this one, their chemistry was dripping off the page. Chloe was such a fun fmc and I adored the way she loved Sig. Sig was classic Bailey overprotective, grouchy mmc but man did he melt for his woman and I was so here for it. The forbiddeness of it all played out differently than I expected, I felt like she shocked me a couple of times at the end there. These two had a rocky road for their HEA but it was worth every page to see them so happy in their epilogue. ADORED them.

This series is everything to me and I was so incredibly thankful to be able to ARC read this one. I loved the way she set up Corrigan and Skylar's story, their banter at the baseball game had me kicking and giggling.

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon for the ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
