It has all the spring vibes and it’s on KU!
“Sydney has had a streak of bad luck, and she blames herself for everything. Recently divorced and looking forward to a fresh start with her two young children, she has absolutely zero intentions of entering the dating world anytime soon, especially with the uncertainty of her ex’s whereabouts and intentions looming over her. Men in general? Totally over them.
Fate intervenes when Sydney’s cousin drags her to a bar for a night out, and they meet Will, the devilishly charming DJ. Will has had his own misfortune, and he just goes with the flow, unmotivated to change his life for the better… until Sydney unintentionally wiggles her way into his heart. As for Sydney, her determination to avoid romance at all costs, slowly crumbles as Will’s easy-going nature gives her a new change in perspective.
In a whirlwind of yearning hearts, family drama, and a rescue bull, Sydney and Will try to keep things platonic, but they’re only one stolen kiss away from falling for each other completely.”

Reading this novel truly captures the emotional rollercoaster that comes with starting fresh after life's upheavals. Sydney’s journey from a cautious single mom avoiding romance to gradually opening up to Will’s easy-going charm felt very genuine and relatable. What I loved most was how the story weaved together themes of family, resilience, and healing without rushing the characters’ emotional growth, even if some moments felt a bit fast-paced. The vivid portrayal of everyday life—from balancing work and kids to unexpected family visits and caring for Mrs. Beasley—adds a comforting layer of authenticity to the story. It reminded me of how support systems, even if unconventional like a rescue bull or quirky neighbors, can play a pivotal role in rebuilding one’s confidence and joy. Will’s character, with his laid-back demeanor and quiet kindness, was a refreshing contrast to Sydney’s more intense emotions. Their evolving relationship highlights the beauty of slow-building connections and the subtle ways we impact each other’s lives. If you’re looking for a spring read that combines humor, heart, and the hopeful vibe of new beginnings, this book delivers. It’s also a great pick for anyone who enjoys indie authors and contemporary romance featuring real-life challenges and meaningful growth.
