Always Mine by Laura Pavlov
2.25
I had Always Mine on my TBR through KU since August 2022, and I wasn't in the mood to pick it up for some reason.
Yes, the premise of Always Mine is something that I would love. In a small town, from friends to lovers and grumpy sunshine, both main characters deal with things from their past with almost good communication. The secondary characters do a fantastic job of complementing and contradicting the actions of Vivian and Niko.
So, why am I giving such a low rating?
I appreciate the back story of both Niko and Honey Bee (Niko's nickname for Vivian), but having an open-door scene on every second page was too much for me. I can read spicy romance novels.
There were so many beautiful scenes between the relationship of Vivian and her family, as well as the found family that you see in the firefighter station. The Honey Mountain series has the potential to be a fantastic series, but if the following books are as spicy as the Always Mine, I think I will part my ways with this series here.
