I just finished Curves for Days by Laura Moher and here is my review..
Rose is looking for a new start. Crazy weather has her stopping in Galway overnight. One night is all it takes for Rose to know she is home. Making friends and buying a house comes in such a rush that she is giddy from the excitement.
Now she has the house, she needs some renos and no one comes more highly recommended then Angus. Rose doesn't understand why he is so antagonistic towards her. Little does she know that the grumpy contractor can't keep his eyes or his mind off her curves, her sassy persona and that smile that lights up a room.
The more time they spend together, the friendlier their encounters become. This grumpy sunshine pairing is brighter than the sun but Rose is keeping a secret and explodes her new life in seconds.
I read really fast. It's something I learned to do in University. I slowed myself right down with this book so I could savor every single second and make the book last longer.
Rose doesn't really see herself clearly and it takes coming to Galway where the people she meets all see her. They want to know her and reading about her letting these people in was so beautiful. The most beautiful story of self discovery and opening up like a delicate butterfly and spreading the wings far! Angus is so sweet but he also didn't see himself so well either. Rose really brings him out of himself just by being herself. I loved it. I'm a sucker for romance and this one hit all my pleasure centers.
Loved the small town and I think their meeting was cute so this book ticked every single box for me. If you love grumpy sunshine tropes, this one will exceed expectations.
The writing was lovely and I am so thrilled that this is the start of a series. I cannot wait to hear about more characters from this book.
5 stars. Thank you @sourcebookscasa for my gifted copy
