I adore a rom-com that balances humor and romance perfectly, even more so if it has the grumpy/sunshine dynamic!
This book had me laughing out loud from the get-go. Alex is the quintessential grump, and while grumpy characters aren't typically likable at first, I found him irresistible. His absurd and comical thoughts and remarks had me in stitches. I developed an immediate love/hate relationship with him. Molly, in contrast, is a breath of fresh air. She's cheerful, optimistic, and embraces life as it comes. She's traveling in her van, Vaniel (#vanlife), aiming to visit all 48 continental states. Upon reaching upstate New York, she decides to strike a deal with a farmer—she'll manage the farm shop on weekends in return for a parking spot for Vaniel. Thus, Molly starts working for the charming, flannel-clad Alex at Udderly Creamy, and Alex finds himself paired with a quirky, adorable girl who tends to virtual cows! Lol.I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was packed with laughter, had the perfect amount of spice, and featured fantastic characters. (Everyone needs a Kit in their life!) The character development was superb, not just between Alex and Molly but also between Alex and his family. The spicy scenes were well-balanced, providing just the right amount of heat without being overly explicit. Above all, I loved the quirky names of the animals and towns! Simply top-notch!Thank you to Liz Alden, NetGalley, and Author Collective 20 for this ARC!
