Well I didn't hate it 😂
I love a small town romance so a lot of this worked for me - the family, the side characters in town, the kid, the animals, the suspense element, etc.
However Knox was a dick for a lot of this, not in a "grumpy alpha who softens when he falls for her" kinda way, but in the "has absolutely no idea how to speak to or think about humans way". I could list all his faults but there's so many other reviews with actual quotes which do that. Even on the very last page he pissed me off (in reference to pregnancy hormones) "I'd have handled her tears, but probably not well". Fuck off, if she's the love of your life you wipe her tears and hold her until she feels better, especially if she's growing your child or having fertility issues, dick.
It also had my most hated third act breakup reason - "I'm breaking up with her for her own good/to protect her/to keep her safe". Ugh 🙄
