I feel bad for Holden Rhodes because Wyatt Rhodes was such a dreamboat in The Wrong Mr. Right - he's a hard act to follow! Good thing they're such opposites, so it's not too much of a side-by-side comparison. Instead of a golden retriever, this go-round we're treated to a broody, tortured MMC who's a secret romantic. YES. PLEASE.

Holden & Sadie have great chemistry. If you enjoy a slow burn fraught with amazing sexual tension, this is the read for you. I love the small-town antics that Queen's Cove provides - like Sadie keeps mentioning, "this town is ridiculous." Some reviewers cringed at the escapades of the alien dildo, but I found it funny in it's ridiculousness!

The third act breakup was a bit rushed. I was almost lulled into thinking one wasn't going to happen but, alas, the stubbornness of both Holden & Sadie won (or lost??) out in order to provide some angst.

Stephanie Archer crafts a good rom-com - she writes great banter filled with laugh-out-loud moments, but still manages to slot in real life anxieties & insecurities that are so relatable. She's a new author that I'll be keeping an eye on (and the fact that she's from, and writes about, my neck of the woods is a boon) with great interest. Very excited to see what's been going on with Finn & Olivia once book 4 gets here.
