Our Kind of Love

Kait Nolan — 2021

One of Nashville's fastest rising stars, Kyle Keenan has it all-fame, fans, and a chance at fortune. But the dream he's busted his tail for means nothing without the woman who holds his heart. With her sassy smile and pull-no-punches attitude, Abbey is his greatest love-and his greatest regret. When he's confronted in a live TV interview about alleged involvement with a country music starlet, Kyle blurts out he's already engaged...to Abbey. Abbey Whittaker has come a long way from the starry-eyed six-year-old who made a marriage pact with her best friend. With a thriving business, a loving family, and a tight-knit group of friends, she's put away childish things. She long ago banished Kyle from her life, so the last thing she expects is him walking through her door or the blistering kiss that follows. Kyle is desperate to convince Abbey that a fake engagement is the best way to get the media off her back-and his. And it just might give him a chance to fix what he destroyed. Even as these two frenemies remember all the reasons they wanted to be lovers, another blast from Kyle's past returns, threatening to expose the secret he's spent his entire career hiding. When truths come to light, will love conquer all or will Kyle lose everything?

This book was my first introduction to Kait Nolan as an author and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book. I typically lean towards darker romance books but something about this cover and the blurb had me intrigued. Our main characters are serving us childhood best friends-to-lovers with a marriage pact and a side of second-chance romance and who doesn’t love that? Add some spice like a fake engagement/fake fiancee and we’ve got a winner! There was something so sweet and innocent about Abbey and Kyle and when you learn about the dynamic of their relationship with each other as well as their families it will have you wishing you grew up in Eden’s Ridge with them. Deemed as country music’s “Captain America” Kyle has made quite the name for himself after leaving Eden’s Ridge. After a quick confrontation on live TV, Kyle accidentally blurts out his engagement to Abbey. Except, he hasn’t seen or talked to Abbey since he left her years ago. I enjoyed reading about Kyle’s hesitancy to return back home and his thought process surrounding his appearance back in his hometown. His struggles were real and I liked how the author wrote about his anxieties and didn’t just skip over the details. The Abbey that Kyle once knew has now grown up and become a woman. She has a great group of friends to support her and a flourishing career. What I loved about Abbey was that although she is still heartbroken and hurt from Kyle’s actions years ago, she still decides to help Kyle out and pretend to be his fiancee. Will Abbey finally get the closure she needs to move on or will Kyle mend the heart he broke and claim his girl? To find out you’ll have to go and read the rest of the book! This book was well written but way shorter than I anticipated it to be. I wish it was longer but I really did appreciate how the author did not drag out the plot. Besides that this book was a quick entertaining read and has so many sweet moments that will leave you happy. ARC received in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Wildfire Marketing Solutions.
