This author was a delightful new surprise for me, and diving into their writing with this story was an absolute pleasure. What struck me most was the refreshing absence of angst, yet there was still a dash of drama that kept me hooked. Bebe, one of the central characters, stole the show for me. Being privy to her inner thoughts and quirky personality had me in stitches; I could practically see her expressions vividly painted in my mind. The author's descriptive prowess didn't stop there; they painted scenes, people, and even dialects with such vividness that it felt like I was right there in the story. This is a romance with heart, sprinkled with moments of depth and plenty of laughter. My only gripe? The story ended too soon for my liking. I'm already yearning for more adventures with the Dakota gang and Bebe in the future; it's a craving that won't easily fade.
