I’m surprised this book isn’t rated higher on Goodreads - I liked it. It had more depth and character development than the last couple books I’ve read. The title doesn’t really capture the spirit or major theme of the book. Sure, Mackenzie (Mac) is initially playing it safe and conforming to the ideals of her family and boyfriend, but that changes quickly when she meets “local bad boy” Cooper Hartley. He meets her with less-than-noble intentions, but as they get to know each other real feelings emerge, and the pairing felt believable to me. His family drama was touching and gives the reader some insight into his personality and choices. I liked his interactions with his twin brother, Evan, which makes me interested in reading the next book in the series. (8)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
