I have had this book on my physical TBR since it came out in 2022. I have heard a lot of great things about this book but I just felt that it had to be over hyped but man oh man was I wrong! I really wish I would have read this book sooner.

Synopsis
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.
While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor. And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit town where he lives, she’s discovering just what’s really important. Yet letting their relationship become anything more than a short-term fling would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the opportunity to help thousands of people.
Bringing Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly choose between her world and his?

Review
I am so happy that I listened to this book via Audio. The narration was done by both a female and male voice for the different chapter POV’s. The narrators were probably what made this five stars if I am honest with you. Which is funny because I rarely give audio books 5 stars let alone review them because I struggle to pay attention but again the narrators really pulled me into the book and in the end I was glued.
I really loved both of our main characters. They kept saying how their lives don’t fit together and how the relationship could never work because of it. Yes, they have very different lives but the basic foundation of their lives are very similar which made it easy to see them together. Surprisingly the one thing that I struggled with at the start was just how perfect the male lead was, this man could never do anything wrong but I was oddly ok with this as the book went on.
A lot of the issues that came up in the book felt like they had pretty obvious answers but still took the whole book for them to be resolved. I think this was my one issue with the book but at the same time it was pretty easy to look past and get over. This is mostly because the things holding our main character back in the grand scheme of things had some difficult repercussions.
This book was so much better that I had originally thought it would be and I am very grateful for this. I needed a cute and light romance read to keep me company while Noah was in New York.
