"I really enjoyed this take on the rich good girl-poor bad boy trope.<br/><br/>Cooper Hartley is a bad boy living in coastal Avalon Bay. He has a tough exterior because he had to grow up quick and doesn’t care for the wealthy college kids that invade the town. <br/><br/>Mackenzie Cabot isn’t just a rich girl, she is also a business woman who has made her own money. She wants to focus on her business and finish school while sticking to the plan to marry her rich boyfriend Preston.<br/><br/>Unfortunately when Cooper and Mac meet, the banter is too good and eventually they can’t resist each other. He realizes that Mac is more than a rich princess, and she realizes that she doesn’t have to stick to the plan, she can strike out on her own! <br/><br/>The characters of Mackenzie and Cooper really pulled me into the story. The narrators made them come alive in my head as I listened. Their voices took the story to another level, and kept me engaged.The pace and flow of the book were good. I never got bored, I was invested in the story. I couldn’t wait to see what happened, if there would be consequences for choices or not. <br/><br/>The side characters were also intriguing and hopefully we will get books with Stephanie, Alana, and Evan. <br/><br/>TW for cheating, spice level 3/5.<br/><br/>ARC provided by Macmillan Audio"

"Dual POV. This was a fun read and had Outer Banks vibes. I liked the way the story unfolded and tied up all loose ends by the end. The 3rd act conflict was very predictable and the end resolution felt quite rushed. Overall it was an enjoyable read! Also I was waiting for the cover to make sense and it never did. Doesn’t match the books description which was confusing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/5 🌶.5/5"
