This story follows Dani and Bridger. From a young age, Dani experienced harm from her father, and Bridger was the one she would run to for safety. At eighteen, she moved away to attend college. But now, Dani has returned to town, and Bridger can’t let her leave again. Will they finally take the plunge and fall for one another?
I really enjoyed this book! The audiobook is great, so be sure to pick it up. I loved how Dani and Bridger had history from a young age—both secretly falling for each other, but due to age and distance, the timing was never right. I didn’t expect them to reconnect so quickly, but it worked. Normally, I love a bit of a chase and a slow burn, but I didn’t mind how fast their relationship developed because their connection was strong, and the spice was fantastic. Bridger was so caring, protective, and always listened to Dani. Birdie is the cutest kid!
I will say I guessed who was responsible for the final fire, and I thought the last few chapters felt a bit rushed and didn’t expect it to end so quick. Over all this was a great read.
