I liked the characters, they were loveable. Especially Gennie was well written, she had me laughing and being shocked sometimes haha, it's rare that children in books, especially in romance books, get so much personality and uniqueness (without her it would be maybe a 3). I'm a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean too, so I liked her pirate obsession a lot. I love that Shay is curvy FMC, has such a good way with kids and is a teacher, she's a sweetie and I love that she wears this crazy earrings, that makes her more unique and that she has such a character development journey in this book. And I like that Noah is a grumpy overprotective kinda shy gentleman. What I didn't like was that his appearance change was just explained with growing up, real world doesn't work like that And the book was a little bit too long (got bored along the way, did a reading pause), but all in all it was a great book.

I really liked the story and how everything falls into place. I was looking for a nice love story and wasn’t disappointed. Gennie is THE cutest and the way Noah cares for his loved ones makes my heart melt. Long story short, i'm omw to buy beaded earrings and to stroll through farmers markets.
