Great characters and love that different hobby’s were present. Loved their connection!

I have been dying for Bayou’s story for what feels like forever, the forever part is mainly because I’m an impatient brat, but still, BAYOU! SQUEEEEEEE! There is just so much to love in this book. From a unique hero bringing a new level of diversity to Lani’s books to some serious swoon and that fantastic sarcasm that Lani does so well that keeps you giggling. As usual with Lani Lynn Vale’s writing I was utterly captivated the moment I opened this book and devoured it in one sitting. Bayou and Phoebe are definitely one of my all time favorite couples! I have a laundry list of reasons to love Bayou, but I’ll try to condense that before I reach the point of making a song to praise his perfection. Bayou is a man who more than simply overcomes hardships. With strength well beyond physical he thrives despite life throwing him so many curveballs. Along with that Lani really gives a beautiful example of different, not less than with him which is something I think many people will not only love as much as I do, but also maybe open eyes for people who have never met anyone like Bayou. Beyond all of that he’s also a man with a heart bigger than even he realizes. There were moments with him where he was so heart achingly sweet I felt like I was just going to burst from swoon overload. Then there’s Phoebe, accepting Bayou exactly as he is from the moment they meet and loving him unconditionally. These two have a soul deep connection that just steals your heart.
