An honest review thanks to NetGalley. Wow, this book was amazing. The chemistry of all the characters jumped out of the book from the very first page to the last. Chemistry is a very important aspect, and the whole town was alive with it. I found myself loving Mel and Shay, and the secondary characters were amazingly written and incorporated into the story. I find myself wanting to hear about Misty and Colby next!

I really enjoy reading butch/femme romances. However, I really struggled with this one. I typically fly through books. At the most it usually takes me two days to finish a book. This one just didn’t motivate me to come back and pick it up. Shay just didn’t pull me in as a reader. I really love butch characters (I feel like I say this so often, but it is true) but for me Shay was 100% forgettable. The same goes for Mel though. Other than being attractive nothing about her character stood out to me. The author used a lot of names of random town folk and at times it made it a bit confusing. Just took a moment for me to figure out if I should remember who they actually are and what their role was in the story. This got old pretty fast. The story had a lot of potential and I am willing to give the author a chance in future books. This book just didn’t win me over.
