An utterly delightful, heart-squeezing delight of a book! Penelope Ward gave me everything I crave in a vacation‑fling‑turned‑forever story. Blair and Tate’s connection in Midnight Key starts off as pure spark—fun, flirty, a little chaotic—and then quietly deepens into something so much more meaningful. I loved watching Blair shift from pushy and horny (girl was on a mission!) to mischievous, warm, and genuinely good for Tate in a way he didn’t even know he needed. And Tate… oh, Tate. His backstory is heartbreaking without ever feeling heavy for drama’s sake. He’s a man who’s been through it—loss, guilt, fractured family ties—and seeing him slowly open up again was incredibly moving.
The four‑year time jump absolutely delighted me. That reunion scene? Deliciously shocking. The emotional stakes skyrocket, yet the story never loses its tenderness. The way Ward handles the complicated family dynamics—Tate, Blair, Taylor, and little Nicholas—felt honest and generous. No villains, just people trying their best to love each other well. And that’s my favorite kind of romance.
This book gave me laughter, longing, a few well-earned tears, and a full-body swoon. It’s heartfelt, engaging, and beautifully hopeful. I closed it with a big, goofy smile and that warm, satisfied feeling only a truly delightful romance can deliver.
