Solid Small Town Romance With A Touch Of Spice. For those looking for Carolina Reaper level spice... this ain't that. Yet it also isn't a warm glass of milk. I'd say it hits around a habanero or so - spicy enough to zing the taste buds a bit, but also mild enough to excite those who generally prefer a warm glass of milk without giving them "the vapors". ;)
On the actual romance side, well, there's as much family drama going on here as romance, so your mileage will absolutely vary on that side. There's a lot of drama to work through, though both halves of our couple wanted each other all those years ago... and that never really went away, despite our female lead marrying and having a kid with another dude in the meantime (one source of so much family drama).
Fans of small town insta love/ second chance Hallmarkie type romances will generally enjoy this one. Those looking for more spice or more glitz or more glamour or more action or some such... likely not as much.
Overall I thought this worked quite well for what it is, and I was quite happy with it as such.
Very much recommended.
