Author: Lacey Black
Release Date: March 19, 2024

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Small Town/Surprise Pregnancy

Forced Proximity/Enemies to Lovers

Hallie

No one pushes my buttons the way Logan Johnson does. I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to ignore him, which isn’t easy when you live in a small town and share the same friends.

So, when I have a little too much to drink and need a place to crash after our friends’ wedding, it would figure I find myself at Logan’s house. What I’m not expecting is ending up in his bed. With him. Naked. More so, I wasn’t anticipating enjoying myself as much as I did, anxious for a repeat, which is why I’m not surprised when it happens again.

The problem is those drunken nights have resulted in something unplanned. Something monumental. Something that will change our lives forever.

Logan

Being attracted to someone who drives you completely crazy is its own form of hell. Hallie Rhodes is entirely infuriating, yet so damn beautiful it makes me ache.

There’s a fine line between love and hate, and we’ve been blurring it for as long as I can remember. So, when a late, drunken night turns into something it shouldn’t, all bets are off. Plans change and futures are cemented, despite having no idea what really comes next. All I know is the more time we spend together, the more I realize having her in my life is paramount.

Now my biggest challenge of all presents itself. Proving to Hallie we’re better together than we ever were apart.

This series is small-town romance at its finest! Lacey Black can grab your attention easily with her outstanding characters and intriguing plots.

Black has a very fluent writing style that is easy to get lost in. The plot was very engaging and I was glued to the pages of this story from start to finish.

All of the characters in this series are great. They all have distinct individual personalities. It's so easy to fall in love with all of them. Hallie and Logan were so relatable with excellent character development. Their characters were fleshed out really well.

The romance in this book is a tale as old as time. A surprise pregnancy stemming from a one-night stand. There is also a frenemies-to-lovers vibe going on that is quite tantalizing. Hallie and Logan slowly fall in love and he is very supportive after finding out about the pregnancy. Their banter is amusing and their chemistry is so natural and organic.

Overall, this was a beautiful love story that was entertaining and heartfelt. This series is full of incredible characters that really stand out and capture your heart.

This book was the perfect start to a new series!

Lacy Black has an expressive writing style that is perfect for this type of story. I really connected with it. This book was entertaining and kept my interest from start to finish. The plot was very intriguing. I loved the small-town vibes throughout.

The characters were fleshed out nicely. It was easy to relate to them and step into their shoes. The characters had excellent character growth. Blair's character really had to evolve a lot. Each character was well-developed with individuality. The secondary characters added something special to the story.

Blair and Gabe have undeniable chemistry. They have a history together so it adds to the intensity of their dynamic. This book has a he-falls-first-and-hard situation. Gabe was trying to prove to Blair that they belonged together. He was so swoon-worthy.

Overall, this is a small-town romance with an organic story about family and forgiveness. The journey for Blair and Gabe was so heartwarming and full of emotion. This is the story for you if you are a fan of raw stories and memorable characters. I am such a fan of this series and can't wait for the next book!
