My Review:

This second-chance romance is delightful and hilarious. I really enjoyed my time with Sonny and Parker, and the audio narration enhanced my enjoyment.

Here is my tangent: Parker has vasovagal syncope. I had never heard of this until a few months ago when I was diagnosed with it. It is a fainting disorder. I loved that it was represented in a book. 

I loved Sonny. He is sunshine personified, but not in a cheesy/fake way. I loved his family (all nine million of them) and how they relate to each other. 

I loved the banter, the family reunion, Parker and Sonny reconnecting, and the realism of the story. There was just so much to love.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

Sunshine always melts ice eventually. And I’m starting to feel the burn.

People may call me an “overachieving ice queen,” but I would do anything for the people I love.

So when my friends ask me to host an event at their famous farm, I’m more than happy to help…until I discover I’ve been set up.

The “event” is actually a reunion for my ex’s family.

I pushed away Sonny Luciano years ago when my parents gave me the cruelest possible ultimatum. I told him it was so he could pursue his NFL dreams, but I was terrified that he’d eventually learn what my parents learned: I’m unlovable.

But Sonny doesn’t act like I’m unlovable. He acts thrilled to be with me. And the way he lights up when he sees me with his loud, loving family eclipses the sun.

Sonny has grown in all the right ways, and our connection is electric enough to make me forget why I pushed him away in the first place.

But when we get stuck alone in a tent during a freak storm, I have to decide if I’m going to let him melt my heart or if I’ll freeze him out forever.
