Dylan is the queen of hot peppers and once a week, she makes a special recipe and invites all to try it out. Dylan tries to be careful with her peppers but when she accidentally leaves some out, it created a very interesting meet cute with her brothers best friend, Logan Murphy.
Logan has a couple months off from professional football and he decides to spend time in Garrett's small town to take the time to reassess his life and decisions. Eating hot peppers unknowingly was not on his bingo card.
These two were so much fun to watch get to know each other and begin to connect. Dylan has such a great group of friends and family that protect their own fiercely. Special shout out to Craig who stole my heart with his wigs, dance moves and blunt comments. The chemistry between Logan and Dylan was palpable and spicy (pun intended). Their relationship grew effortlessly, and the playful banter was top tier. How they shared their vulnerabilities and fears with each other whether is was about Logan continuing his football career or Dylan diving back into dancing in some capacity added more depth to their relationship as it progressed through the story. Logan was so protective over Dylan and had no qualms with letting the world know she was his. And I can't forget to mention those late night FaceTime calls left little to the imagination!
I really LOVED that this book had no third act breakup but instead focused on a relationship that is genuinely entertaining and healing for both characters. And I'm already dying for Zane's book next!
