Drive Me Wild (Bellamy Creek, #1)

4 Stars 🌟
Drive Me Wild is the first book in a new series of standalone small town romances. It follows Griffin & Blair in this light hearted, steamy, sweet, low angst with an all round fun rom com vibe.
Griffin is grumpy, slightly closed off emotionally and convinced he will always be better off alone. He has things he is still dealing with from his past as well as trying to figure out a way to keep his business running and succeeding he definitely does not have anytime for love or relationships.
Blair is sweet, adorbale with a hint of sass. She is flirty and playful while also having goals on how she wants to set up her new life and prove her independence.
The whole Grump/Sunshine dynamic is one of my favourites in romances and I really enjoyed how it played out in this story though Griffin definitely could've been grumpier (the more grumpier the better imo) but Blair was the perfect Sunshine to his Grump. Their chemistry and connection was compelling and even though the timeline of the story was quick and fast paced I didn't mind the instant attraction & feelings developed as it still felt genuine and natural.
The set up for this new series was done so well & I loved every minute of the small town atmosphere created. It was charming, entertaining and just so pleasant. Often I find small town drama/aspects can either be infuriating or more like a soap opera but here I actually looked forward to it. I loved all the side characters especially Griffin's mother (literally highlighted all of her scenes) & sister as well as some of the other men mentioned who I assume will be featured in their own books.
The little throwbacks to the Cloverleigh Farms series was also a nice touch & I can't wait to see where the rest of this series goes.

I loved Griffin's mom as well! Every time she looked up and talked to her late husband or the Lord I laughed out loud.
