There were quite a few references to s*x and many innuendos throughout the book. The spice is a little bit hard to completely skip.

My Review:
I picked this one up on a whim one night and seriously couldn’t put it down til I finished it! I fell in love with Luke in the first book and it was so fun to see more of him in this one (which says a lot because kids in romance novels are not my favorite sometimes!) I felt like Willa was so cute and this was the perfect execution of grumpy sunshine.
I loved the little bits of country we get and that we saw so much of Rhett and Summer. I was a bit thrown off by the ending but honestly is all wrapped up so well I was so happy for them 🥹
