I loved Hayes and Willa's story. Out of the three books so far in the series I loved this story the most. Hayes is such a great guy, just like all the Kingmans, but I loved that he wasnt girl crazy like some of the other brothers we see in the stories. He was set to be good at school, football, and be there for his family. That all changed with he ran into Willa again after not seeing her for years after high school. Willa was away teaching students English in Vietnam and just not wanting to stay rooted to anything that has to do with Denver, and honestly if I had to deal with a family like hers I would too. Id stay as far away as I possibly could. But things happened and she is now in Denver for an extended amount of time, trying not to fall for her hot football player neighbor Hayes.

I loved their dynamic. They understood each other on a different level than other couples. I feel like they just wanted to make the other happy without them having to sacrifice their own passions. The way they supported each other, especially Hayes towards Willa, was just something nice to see. Also the way Hayes became so "possessive" of Willa was just HOT.

This is such a good cozy read. Not a lot of spice, but there is SPICE. This would be a perfect palette cleanser if you do read a lot of heavier books. They talk about Christmas in this so not sure if you are the time to read seasonal-ish books during that season Id wait til around Xmas time. But I dont think its necesarry since its not the holidays for most of the book, just a chapter or two.

Over a 4 out of 5 and I CANT WAIT for the fourth book that comes out later this year!
