Beckett Fields has dreamed of becoming a park ranger for as long as he can remember, and now he’s finally got his shot. After losing his dream job a few years ago thanks to an ex-girlfriend, he’s determined not to let anything—or anyone—stand in his way. But on the day of his long-awaited interview, a chance encounter with a fiery blonde at the park threatens to derail his plans once again, and Beckett knows exactly who to blame.
Millie Keaton loves her small-town life. She’s got her sister nearby, a job at the local floral shop, close friends, and her art to keep her busy. Her only her lack of a love life and the raccoon that’s taken up residence in her house. To solve one of those problems, Millie plans a covert mission to release the unwanted raccoon back into the wild. It’s going well—until she’s caught in the act by a hot park worker who wasn’t supposed to be there...but maybe he can solve her other problem.
When Beckett and Millie’s paths cross, sparks fly and tempers flare. But as misunderstandings pile up, they’re forced to confront more than just unruly wildlife. Can they see past their differences and find a way forward, or will their chance encounter lead them both off course?
Okay this was a fun read. 🤣 What happens when a girl just trying to return a raccoon that broke into her house back into the wild...a park mind you, and gets caught by the park manager...resulting in her getting "arrested" than escaping, and running back into the park manager who citizen arrested her....to get once again arrested again....for real this time.
You get one heck of a funny, angsty, banter filled mixed with flirting story. That's what you get. 😆
Beckett, the park manager, is working on getting his dream job as park ranger in Canada. And when he runs into Millie, things get a little bumpy in that plan. I loved his character, even though at times I got frustrated with his hot and cold attitude, but I understood it. He was hurt by an ex. It was actually kinda nice seeing the mmc being the one struggling with relationship issues.
And Millie, oh gosh that girl is the life of the party honestly. Loved her no filter type attitude. And she loved and cared for those around her so much. Including wildlife. Even raccoons who ruin her things when it gets trapped in her sunroom.
Following these two going through community service was fun to say the least. Pretending to hate each other...meanwhile can't stop thinking about one another.
And when Millie realizes what it all cost Beckett...I absolutely loved what she did. And it made my heart happy for Beck because he's never had that before. Which made my heart sad for him.
I simply enjoyed this book, the characters, the raccoon that brought the characters together. And while it was a very slow burn...it was worth it in the end.

This book was such a fun read! Engaging characters, great banter, several laugh out loud moments, and very nice spice! I haven’t read anything from this author before, but I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
This book was adorable, it was so hard not to fall in love with the spunky, fun and quick-witted characters. Can't wait to see what Eliza comes out with next!
This was such a cute book. Love these two so much. Millie and Beckett definitely have chemistry. I bought this book at a book fest, without knowing too much about it and it did not disappoint.
