Fish out of water is one of my favorite tropes to read, and Nava executed it perfectly. I can’t wait to read what she writes next!”—Kristina Forest, USA Today bestselling author of The Love Lyric“This grumpy-sunshine romance is set in a wonderfully scenic small town and offers plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, balanced with tender scenes, and rounded out with a lovable cast of characters. Readers will fall hard for Nava’s steamy rom-com, brimming with themes of family, community, and belonging.”—Library Journal, starred review“Avery’s fish-out-of-water story leads to plenty of classic rom-com hijinks as she learns to ride a horse, play stickball, and adjust to life on the ranch. Nava balances these lighter moments with depth as Avery learns more about her grandmother and what it means to be Muscogee. A charming rom-com about finding your place and knowing who you are.”—Kirkus, starred review“Nava approaches her protagonists’ differing relationships to their shared culture with empathy and skill and has a talent for making even the prickliest characters, like Avery’s mother, redeemable. The result is a nuanced and entertaining rom-com with plenty of heart.”—Publishers Weekly“This delightful slow burn romance shows why second chances are worthwhile.”—Booklist
