>>> A huge thank you to Melissa Foster and NetGalley for my eARC of this incredible friends-to-lovers romance. Of course, all thoughts included in this review are entirely my own!
Friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes and I loved how things progressed with twice-divorced, Nicole and her adventure buddy, Declan.
The banter between these two is INSANELY hilarious (and spicy, from time to time). I loved the welcoming, small town community that Nic becomes a part of. I would move to Chatemup in a heartbeat!
Declan is a sexy, self-proclaimed hot mess and white knight to all in need. Even though both he and Nic say they aren't looking for a relationship, the chemistry between them is undeniable.
I loved the inside look at a writer's lifestyle, too. As a wannabe author, I could picture myself writing in a cozy little coffeeshop in a quaint beach town.
The main reason I picked this book up was how Melissa described it on Instagram. Loosely based on her summer of 2021? Yes, please! But then I fell in love with Nic and Declan, and they won me over like any other hero/heroine she's written.
I love love LOVED this book and highly recommend it to all Melissa Foster fans (and all romance fans, as well!). Go out and get a copy NOW! You won't regret it 😘
