I really enjoyed this book, it a great contemporary read. I enjoyed the characters seeing how the small town life where its hard to change what others view people as no matter how hard they try to break out of the old mold. I loved the banter between Travis and his nephew that kid was dramatic af and throughout the book I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if the father came around, obviously he wasn't exactly responsible and I was curious to know more about that situation. If you are a fan of steamy scenes then there are plenty to go around. Overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed reading it.
