Daisy and Penn completely stole my heart. Their chemistry is phenomenal—even with the whole secret identity situation. The way Penn looked at Daisy, how he challenged her beliefs about love, and the undeniable pull between them had me hooked. The suspense of Penn’s earlier departure and Daisy’s arranged engagement kept me intrigued, and I just had to know how it would all unfold. I loved how Penn was such a gentleman about touching another man's fiancee!

The small-town vibes were perfect! From cozy little spots to town traditions and, of course, the ever-busy gossip mill (because what’s a small-town romance without nosy neighbors?), everything added to the charm. I also adored the side characters—each one brought something special to the story, and I need their books ASAP, especially Duke (can't wait to read more about him). Also, the men’s book club? Absolutely hilarious and such a fun touch!

All in all, this is a good one if you love friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, and a hero who would do anything for his heroine then it's for you! It’s sweet, emotional, and just the right amount of swoony!
