The Charmer in Chaps by Julia London

3.0

Ella has always had a crush on Luca Prince, ever since they were in high school together. Years later Ella has an opportunity to come back to Three Rivers where she grew up and she runs into Luca out of all people.
I loved the way this story started out, with the chance encounter and Luca not recognizing Ella. I enjoyed the way the relationship played out between Ella and Luca. They had a sweet romance and I loved the early stages when they were still getting to know each other before they became more intimate.
The last third or so of the book kind of felt flat for me. I felt like there was too much going on with characters that I wasn’t completely invested in. Even though the book had some flaws for me, I still enjoyed it. **Thank you to Penguin for the ARC. All opinions are my own**
