Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for approving me to read this, I’m rating it 4.25 stars.

I am a Lynn Painter fan for life because whatever she puts in these books just do something special for me.

This is a heart warming friends to lovers romance with a second chance twist. I adore this tight knit community vibe where everyone seemed to be reconnecting which leads to our main characters reuniting and it’s TENSE. There’s banter and sports with a simmering tension between our pair that turns into something really special and completely worth the wait.
