But when her rental car dies on the outskirts of town, mechanic Lavenia “Vini” Williams provides a tow—and a very welcome jump start to Jessica’s heart. It’s been a minute since Jessica’s last fling—her relationship specialty—and Vini checks all the right boxes. If only the sexy car whisperer seemed interested… Vini knows herself and what she wants. She loves her job, her family, her hometown—but she’d love to fall in love. Jessica stirs up all the right feelings, but the city girl has no intention of staying in Peach Blossom. Why sign up for a broken heart? But the temptation is real as Vini goes out of her way to drive a carless Jessica around town. The pair can’t seem to keep their distance—or their hands to themselves. With only six weeks to figure out where their red-hot chemistry might lead, Vini and Jessica will have to decide if home can be where the heart is when the heart only knows how to run.

    i received an advanced listening copy from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. this did not affect my rating.

    this is the sequel to the 7-10 split.

    jessica jae-un miller never intended to stay in peach blossom for so long, but when her rental car breaks down, she finds herself falling for the local mechanic, lavenia “vini” williams. vini loves her job, her family, and her hometown, and would love to fall in love…but jess has no intentions of staying in town. still, the two can’t keep their distance from one another, and only have six weeks to see where this relationship will take them.

    like in the previous book, i loved the small town setting in this. we have vini, who’s always lived in peach blossom, and jess, who’s never really put down roots. as someone who’s moved around a lot, i resonated with jess in this way. i liked how their relationship developed, first being mostly physical and then allowing themselves a more emotional relationship.

    narrator: laly lauret narrated this audiobook, and i thought she did a good job of bringing these characters to life.

    This book is so cute! I really enjoyed this quick-paaced spicy read. I really enjoyed Vini as a character, as well as some of the side characters like Aiden. This book had it's spicy moments, but also it's sweet ones as well. Even though the pace is quick, we do get to see Vini and Jessica's relationship blossom (pun intended) throughout the book. Their relationship had my heart swelling, and the book has plenty of humor and some serious moments as well. Overall I do recommend this sapphic romance!
