Whether you connect with both or with one. Their friendship is also very relatable and fun, you have the responsible one and the over the top one. Bonnie's over the topness did get a tad irritating at times and it seemed like some moments of hilarity were forced. The hero, Rowan, gets touted as grumpy but he actually isn't grumpy AT ALL, he's just a regular lowkey guy. He is very dry and sarcastic and that also accounted for hilarious banter between the two. The story was going very well then at about 90% in, we get huge problems across all the relationships, then rushed fixes and the epilogue that was barely about the two main characters. I do feel like Dakota's lesbian relationship/identity crisis got more attention that the main characters, also their friendship. I wont class it as a 'romance' book but more as contemporary fiction. There is this general consensus in romance books that we can cause a huge issue by lack of basic communication then fix it by....communicating. It's giving old and unoriginal, esp in books written in the time of iphones and samsungs. I feel like the climatic issue between the Bonnie and Rowan could have been something else entirely, dig into that creativity bag MQ. However it was a nice easy fun read and I didn't want to leave the village of Corsekelly, Scotland....ALSO Meghan, we could have gotten so much more on page DIY and coffee shop upgrade time. There was so much more that could have been done with that. Hope this review helps, and for you smutty heaux, yes it does have on screen sexy time and it was at the perfect time and written extremely well! ...more
