5.0

This book is *entertainment* y’all. From the very first pages, I was laughing at the hilarious circumstances surrounding Sunny and Beckett’s current situations. First, Sunny wins a dilapidated bait shop in a card game, and turns it into a vegan cafe with her best gal pals. Then Beckett comes home to rescue the family business from peril, to find a cutesy vegan cafe has taken up residence next to their oyster empire. It’s just another thorn in his side, and he doesn’t even recognize the annoyingly gorgeous owner, who happens to be his best friend’s little sister. Let the shenanigans ensue.

Kate Canterbary is a master at writing internal dialogue. I am obsessed with the way her characters experience things, and people, and how they explain them in their heads. It’s so real and funny and I loved every second of this book. Beckett and Sunny have some of the best banter I’ve read in contemporary romance. Especially because Beckett gets warm and tingly the more vicious Sunny becomes. But the way they love each other is so so soft, and their relationship is so supportive and encouraging.

I honestly can’t even write enough praise for this book and its characters. This is a must read for fans of contemporary romance, especially small town romance featuring goofy characters with lots of heart.
