A novella filled with plenty of drama.

This was a quick read because so much drama happened, I needed to see what happened. Adleigh discovers her fiance cheating on her which propels her to escaping her life and running to a small town. Here she meets farmer Colton. He has his own trauma that he's dealing with. When they meet its instalove or instalust, yet still a bit of a slow burn. I enjoyed the spice too. I think the story needed to be fleshed out more.

A good novella.

Whilst this novella sized story may be under three hundred pages long, I can say that a lot happens when it comes to the drama and push and pull relationship between rockstar Adleigh and small town farmer Colton.

The book begins with Adleigh finding her fiancé cheating on her with her bandmate and 'best friend', though we never hear or see this character again. Adleigh is quick to return home once more after leaving six years ago after the passing of her brother. She's got a lot of trauma and emotions to unpack, and things only get worse when hot neighbour Colton shows up in her life. He's not doing much better in terms of failed relationships and family troubles, though the book kind of skims over his problems and focuses on Adleigh's.

The romance is instantly instalove, or more like instalust since Colton falls first when he sees her after arriving in town. I didn't have a massive problem with it, but their push and pull did get tiring by the time I was halfway through the book. I liked that it was kind of slow burn, we wait and wait for the characters to be ready to open up and heal before getting together, it's gritty and angst filled, especially when they both make dumb choices and act a little immaturely, however when they're good they're good.

The spice was brief but there, I especially liked the outside bar scene with the rain and evening. The overall storyline was fairly simple, and other than the healing and romance drama not much happened, which I think was a downfall. If this book was longer and more developed I think it definetly could have been rated higher, I'd liked to have seen more of Adleigh's job and the resolution at the end of the two page third act breakup (which did feel a little unnecessary).

Overall, this was a good read, don't get me wrong, it's simple and has some good moments and a cute epilogue set ten years later, but it did feel a little empty.

3/5 🌟

I liked the book.i like books that captivates from start to finish. That's what this book did. It captivated to me to a point where I just couldn't put it down. The characters are great. It just needed something else

A rockstar and a farmer duo is not something I knew I needed but I definitely liked it !!

If you are a romance fan then you need to add this to your bookshelf ! You won’t regret it

Very excited for this READNOW option. The cover drew me in right way! I love a good love story especially broken people who find their way to each other and make each other hole again. I believe readers will really enjoy seeing that process in this book.
