Lili and Charlie’s world might be dripping with wealth, glamour, and status, but it’s their undeniable chemistry that truly takes the spotlight. Lili’Lili and Charlie’s world might be dripping with wealth, glamour, and status, but it’s their undeniable chemistry that truly takes the spotlight. Lili’s sharp wit and Charlie’s mysterious charm create a push-pull that kept me hooked. The writing is witty, filled with banter that had me smiling, yet it also knows when to dig deep into their vulnerabilities. Every scene feels like a spark, with chemistry that leaps off the page. Honestly, I loved every moment of it!...more

This was surprisingly good! The city girl meets small-town boy trope is usually hit or miss, but this one nailed it. The characters were fun and relatThis was surprisingly good! The city girl meets small-town boy trope is usually hit or miss, but this one nailed it. The characters were fun and relatable, especially the heroine. I loved how her decision to embrace small-town life came from selfish reasons first, not just because she wanted to move there solely because of the hero. I love when heroines aren’t people pleasers and instead look out for themselves.
And the hero? A total goner. Buying an espresso maker just for her and learning to cook? That’s a REAL MAN IN LOVE. Their banter was fun, too. The epilogue was satisfying enough but still left me wanting more. Maybe we’ll get more of them in the next book? ...more
