Seven Year Itch by Amy Daws
Blurb:
I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal...but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.
All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother's destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I'm stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.
Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.
Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.
Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn't sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.
What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.
Suddenly, Dakota’s not just person I love to fight with. She’s the woman I want everything with.
My Review:
Seven Year Itch by Amy Daws rip into Amy Daws' world, and it will not be my last. I was already head over heels for Trista and Wyatt's story, and this one? It pulled me right back in, though I have thoughts, so hear me out.
First, the mountain men. There is something
so deeply satisfying about men who are fiercely loyal to family, who choose to
stay close and hold each other together. Because let's be honest, the world can
be brutal, and sometimes the people you were born to are the only ones who
truly show up. Amy captures that warmth and wraps an entire romance around it,
and it works every single time.
Watching these men fall in love is genuinely
beautiful, and the ways Amy engineers those moments? Naughty, cute, hilarious,
and somehow all three at once. Is "naughty cute" a genre descriptor?
It should be. Because cracking open one of her books is a guaranteed good time
from the first page to the last.
Now, Dakota. Sweet, insufferable, absolutely
a Karen. Colt called it, and he was not wrong. There were moments I physically
cringed watching her fight what was right in front of her face. I understand
she's been hurt before, I do. But Colton was so consistently sweet and
patient that her resistance started to feel less endearing and more exhausting.
Though I suppose even Karens deserve a love story. And in this case, his
actions spoke so much louder than any word he could have said, Karen included.
If you want something that makes you laugh
out loud and leaves you warm all the way through, this one is absolutely for
you.
