It's almost not fair how well Jillian Meadows writes romance. It makes me resent my own life just a little bit. 

I knew going into the book that it would be 5 stars. I just knew it. And booooooooy I was NOT disappointed. This book is so goddamn sweet and romantic while also ramping up the spice in the most delicious way. I loved having a little cameo from my girl Lena from "WRECK MY PLANS" which is Jillian's christmas novel. 

Anyways- the beginning was worrisome for a moment when Finn, our mmc, was trying to be grumpy. However, how beautiful charismatic sunshine, Millie, made short work of that. She is absolutely delightful and made me smile the entire time. I loved how she interacts with her amazing family, with Finn's nieces, and with Finn. 

I respected that she didn't want to get the reputation for 'sleeping to the top' as a woman in STEM, I thought that was a very valid concern for her that some might have disregarded. 

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT FINN. Space daddy, Catan champion, and purchaser of the hunter green kitchenaid stand mixer. This man is so swoony. I loved every moment he was on page. He is so flirty, so sexy, and above all, he is just a really solid dude. I thought he was a great uncle to the two little girls (who were also absolutely delightful) and I loved how much he valued them and his promise he made to his sister.

OVERALL- Jillian Meadows is an auto-buy author for me. Full stop. No notes. Loved every second of this book.
