This is the first book I’ve read of Tessa’s & I’m hooked!! Brendan & Piper’s budding & then insta-love was cute & the ending was superb seeing us up for the next book. The look into the exact area of king crab fishing was enlightening & to me, Piper was sincerely endearing. The narrator Charlotte North did a fabulous job w/all the voices IMO. As everything began to heat up towards the end, I literally experienced my body heat up bc of Piper’s legit feelings of why she needed to leave & the Brendan’s POV & subsequent realization of what he’d done…raised my body temp cause I could legit understand both characters POV/choices. Anyway, definitely recommend this for certain!! *not recommended for 17 or younger *
