I love the dynamic between Webb and Luke. Webb has a huge chip on his shoulder about Luke - he hates that he's an interloper in their small town who just won his house and land and didn't have to work for it; he hates that his son Aiden ADORES his teacher (Mr. Williams, AKA Luke); he hates how upbeat and sunshiney Luke is; and he hates how weirdly attracted he is to this man.
Luke just... he broke my heart. He tries SO HARD, and he just wants to belong and be loved. UGH. I just wanna hug him and squeeze him and tell him it's all going to be okay! There's a moment where Luke says something to Knox about it being so hard to keep being positive when he's being crushed by the weight of his loneliness, and I straight up ugly cried. Poor Knox gets a big-time reality check as he gets to know Luke and realizes basically EVERY assumption he had about the other man was completely wrong.
After their accidental drunken betrothal (oops), these neighbors (slash one-sided enemies) become friends and eventually so much more. Swoon. There are lots of fun small town shenanigans and folks meddling, and this book is just a rollercoaster ride of laughs, love, and aching hearts. 100/10, definitely recommend.

We get some little moments between him and Milo in the previous books, so you know going in who his love interest will be. Then Tyler is thrown into the mix and yes, please, I'd like his book next!
For a book that has some of my least favorite tropes (single parent, age gap), I really liked this romance between Ellis (42) and Milo (26). Ellis is super conscious of the gap, but Milo is completely unafraid - well, once he stops being quite so tongue-tied and shy around Ellis, anyway. I had a little bit of trouble with Milo's character, as he seems to swing from this timid mouse of a man to this super confident buff take-charge kinda guy. Still, the chemistry between the two of them is great, and I love the way Ellis is with Milo's baby girl, Sara. There are so many sweet moments in this book.

I struggled with this one a bit. We meet Harrison and Fletcher in the previous Dads of Stillwater book, Newcomer, and I was excited to get their story here. The tension between Fletcher and Harrison is DELICIOUS, but there are several moments in the book where they seem to be starting to get along better and then all of a sudden one of them takes something completely out of context or just randomly starts deciding the other is awful again, but there's no REASON for it so it was weird and awkward and just pulled me out of the story.
I did love that Harrison and Fletcher are both single dads, and their kids also start out in a sort of love/hate relationship. The kids are really the cherry on top of this whole series, they're ADORABLE, and I say that as someone who doesn't usually like kids in my romances. (I'm a mom of a 6 and an 8 year old, I live these plotlines every day already, haha.) I actually think I like Fletcher better as a side character in the other books in the series than as a lead, for some reason.

You know how small town romances usually have this wacky cast of quirky but kind neighbors? Yeah, that's not the kind of neighbors they are in this small down. There are a LOT of bigoted jerkfaces in power, sticking their noses in everyone's business. I think I prefer the quirky folks, honestly.
Newcomer is about Levi, who is moving back home to the small town he grew up in with his young daughter because of a relationship gone bad that's blown up his career as well, and Arlo, who recently moved to Stillwater (said small town) and is TRYING to participate in their renowned craft fair but is repeatedly rebuffed. In their own ways, both Levi and Arlo are newcomers to Stillwater, though Levi has some extra baggage there already.

It's really like getting two romances in one!
I fell in love with Tyler in book 3 of the series (Breakthrough) when Ellis' sister tries to set him up with her brother. Ellis and Tyler didn't have sparks, and now we know why! Ty's used up all of his sparks, obviously, haha. I wanted to just hug and give both Ty and Mik noogies, and tell them it will all be okay. I am VERY MUCH hoping for a spin-off series, because I need to see what happens with Bastian and his sexy farmer neighbor, plus the other guys in the band.

I had high expectations after Sarina Bowen's previous MM books co-written with Elle Kennedy (Him, Us, Top Secret) and BOY HOWDY, I was not disappointed!! And like those other books, this is definitely going on my reread-all-the-times list. Gonna have to buy the audio, too, I guess!
The chemistry between Hudson and Gavin is explosive from the moment they first meet, and it only gets better. There's a little bit mistaken identities trope here, a little bit of forced proximity, a taste of neighbors to lovers, some mutual pining action... Basically all the best tropes. There is SO much tension between Gavin and Hudson, and at the same time they're so understanding and communicative (well, most of the time, haha) with each other. It's super hot, but also sort of soft and cozy. And the way Hudson interacts with Gavin's daughter, Jordyn - *swoon.*
There's a part where one of them leaves a voicemail for the other (you'll know when you get there...) and I reread it about three times with tears just pouring down my face. My heart, ugh. I can't remember if I actually laughed out loud reading this book, but I know I was grinning like a fool several times, and obviously I cried. ALL the emotions, I'm having trouble verbalizing just how amazingly good this book is, so all I can say is GO READ IT. I'm also super looking forward to the next book (in what I'm hoping will be an entire series), I'm Your Guy. ...more

It absolutely *SLAYS ME* when a character thinks there's no way they're anywhere near good enough for the other person. Make that both of them feeling that way, with no self-confidence and thinking the other person, I dunno, invented cake or something - nngh. Such feels, so good. Add in that fake relationship insecurity about whether they're faking or mean things for real and this book just overflows with tension and mutual pining.
And of course, once again, I couldn't get enough of the Licking Thicket small town antics. They're just all so hilarious and at the same time so genuine and kind.
The only thing I wish is that the epilogue was more of a follow up on Parrish and Mal's relationship. Instead it felt more like a segway into book three, Fools - which was actually still pretty okay with me, because I immediately picked that book up upon finishing this one (and read them both in their entirety in the same day... oops!)
This is the second book in the Licking Thicket series, and can be read as a standalone. That being said, I recommend reading this series in order just because it's SO GOOD, and you get to meet both Parrish and Diesel in book one, Fakers, so it's great seeing them get their own story. ...more
Something just fell a little flat for me with this book. It was still a totally fine read - I didn't want to throw it across the room or anything, hahSomething just fell a little flat for me with this book. It was still a totally fine read - I didn't want to throw it across the room or anything, haha! - but it also didn't inspire me to go seeking out other books in the series.
Both Scott and Anthony didn't seem fully developed to me. Maybe it's because from chapter 1 they're being overwhelmed with suddenly caring for nine month old twins, but I feel like who they ARE as PEOPLE could have been shown better on the page. I also found it weird that Anthony comes to Scott's house to drop off these twins and then just... sort of... stays. And a lot of the romantic tension is around them both realizing they don't want Anthony to leave, that they both want him to stay, but they're too scared to actually talk to each other about it. Meanwhile they're both falling in love with these amazing babies - and each other, oops.
I don't normally love books with single parents, but I did find it entertaining watching Scott (and Anthony) suddenly be thrown into parenting a pair of nine month old twins. I fell in love with Alicia and Zayden (who even though they can't talk yet still seemed to have more fully formed, interesting personalities than Scott and Anthony!!). Mostly, I really loved the descriptions of two formerly single men suddenly parenting these two handfuls, and was less enamored of the romantic storyline.
This is part of the Single Dads of Gaynor Beach multi-author series. While it can be read as a stand-alone, there's another book by Gabbi Grey in the series, Hugh, which seems to come before this one and Anthony's actions in that book have big repercussions on some of his relationships with the side-characters in Anthony, so it might be best to read Hugh first. I didn't, and I did feel like I was sometimes missing things.

This book destroyed me in all the best ways. I don't even like second chance romances or the single parent trope, and yet!
Fran really gets into so many problems of his own making. As someone whose parents split when I was small and I'm still dealing with the emotional fallout at 37 years old, I very strongly identified with Fran. (Thankfully I'm not THAT much of a hot mess! ...Uh, I don't think...) Even though he's sort of a disaster, Fran is an AMAZING dad to his 5 year old twin girls. He also manages to grow as a person through this novel - though it's usually through having to learn every lesson the hard way - and I love how his relationship with his mom develops.
And then there's Cass. Poor Cass. *sigh* He's such a cinnamon roll and I just want to wrap him up in a warm hug. And take him to a fancy restaurant for dinner, haha. Half of the things I want to say about Cass would be spoilers, so suffice it to say that most of the moments I felt my poor heart breaking were moments where Cass's was likely breaking too.
Fran Cuthbert Ruins Christmas is told entirely from Fran's POV, and while I normally like dual POV romances more it really works for this book. Um, so basically this book has a writing style and tropes I don't much care for, and yet I still ended up giving it 5 stars and was sad when it was over because I wasn't ready to leave Christmas Valley. And really, can there be any higher recommendation? Go read this book, it's so good!!!

Stronger Than Hope is such a lovely, soft, comfortably sweet romance - especially considering it deals with pretty weighty subjects like grief, moving on after the death of a loved one, and bullying.
Nate is so lovely and sweet and I just want to put him in a bubble (Beck too) and keep him safe from anything that would hurt him forever and ever and ever. I also really loved Linc and his dedication to his son Beckett (Beck). They're both broken in their own ways, and are exactly what the other needs to fill in their cracks. The slow development of their relationship is beautiful and I loved the journey. I also really loved all of Linc's friends and am excited to read their books as the series continues!

I dMy heart breaks for Taran and for Silas, both so damaged in their own ways with issues that ping off the other's own insecurities. Gah, the DRAMA! I don't feel like we got much of Taran's character in the first two books, so I was glad to get to know him better this time around.
The chemistry between Taran and Silas is just... explosive. I love that Taran has all these hidden depths that just keep surprising Silas over and over. Somehow they manage to be a slow burn despite (sort of?) starting out as a one night stand. EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THAT CAN BE?! It's like, "Hey, we banged right out of the gate, but now this romance is a slow burn - enjoy the torture." And what sweet, sweet torture it is.
This book deals with some really hard topics, like death of a parent, abandonment by a parent, unexpected fatherhood... And yet it's so soft and sweet. I love that Taran, when confronted with Silas' emotional damage, instead of having some cliched miscommunication to throw a wrench in the romantic storyline just calmly and firmly says exactly the right thing and stands with the person he loves. Nate does this in the first book in the series, Stronger Than Hope, and it is just so beautiful and refreshing to see characters in a romance actually communicate with each other in a healthy way. And don't be fooled by all this mushy stuff - the chemistry between Silas and Taran is SUPER HOT, and Taran is (surprisingly for Silas, haha) way more adventurous in bed than his outward demeanor might lead someone to believe!

I KNOW." Ingrid is one of my favorite characters in Pippa Grant's universe of books so far, because her life is so bizarre and off the wall but also she's so relatable. And Levi! Oh my gosh, he's as much of a goofball manchild as Beck, his Bro Code boyband bro, but at the same time he's so swoony. He brings her food and CLEANS without being asked. WHAT. Where can *I* find a popstar unicorn like this? Yes please.
The chemistry between Ingrid and Levi is just *chef kiss.* He's this mega popstar and she's, well, a hot mess single mom of 3 who is trying to keep all their lives running while her 4 year old shoves marbles and glow-in-the-dark stars up his nose and her 7 year old brings home a pet squirrel and... Whew. It's a lot. At the same time I think a lot of parents (single or not!) will relate so much to Ingrid, who just wants to eat some food that's meant to be hot while it's hot and food that's meant to be cold while it's cold. Is that really too much to ask? (Answer: yes, apparently it is, haha.) Enter Levi, who is not only super hot but also really kind, funny, and helpful. But Ingrid's last relationship ended in part because her husband was never home, and they're having trouble finding time to even have a secret fling, let alone a real relationship. Uh oh...
One thing I love about Pippa's books is they're all so funny - definitely putting that comedy in rom-com. The characters are quirky and weird and somehow super relatable, and I want to be friends with every single one of them. I didn't think I'd be as into this series centered around a bunch of dudes who used to be in a boy band, but darned if Pippa didn't pull me right in. I'm really excited for Davis' book, and to get to know Cash better in his book because I feel like he's the former Bro Code member I know the least about. Thankfully Pippa somehow writes books ridiculously fast, so I'm sure those books will be coming soon!
This is the fourth book in the Bro Code series... sort of. Pippa Grant's books are sort of... weird. They're all interconnected to some extent. This is the third book about an actual Bro Code member, but the first book in the series, Flirting With the Frenemy, is about Wyatt who is sort of the unofficial sixth member of the Bro Code group. Oh, also after book three, Liar Liar Hearts on Fire, there are two books in the Copper Valley Fireballs series that take place between book three and this book, and there are some minor spoilers for those books in this one. All that to say, all of Pippa Grant's books are standalones and you can read them in any order, but reading books later in the series may result in a bit of a side character shock because she throws couples from her previous books in A LOT. Basically just know that they're so good, you're going to want to go back and read them all anyway!...more

I love a good brother's best friend trope, and a great enemies to lovers romance. I'm not really a fan of the single dad trope, but it really works for me here. (Tucker is just too cute!) Pippa Grant has this sort of manic, super weird, crazy-person writing style, and sometimes it's way too over the top but I think she leashed it and directed it really well in this book. I found myself grinning like an idiot several times while reading Flirting with the Frenemy, and also shot Diet Coke out my nose at one point (that has to do with Frogger and Etch-a-Sketch...). I think Pippa would've been proud of my Diet Coke nose antics. ;)
The dynamic between Ellie and Wyatt is amazing. I love their snark and banter, and love how they push each other to be better - even if it is just to piss the other one off. Their banter is hilarious, while at the same time they're both dealing with some really heavy emotional stuff, both in regards to their relationship with each other as well as Wyatt dealing with his job, his divorce, and being a single dad that is forced by his job (in the military) to live hours away from his son and then Ellie with her own sense of self-worth and capability in the aftermath of her bad breakup and devastating car accident.
The town of Shipwreck is adorable, and I love everyone in it. ALL OF THEM, even the parrot with the potty mouth. Also, now I need Grady's book. *grabby hands* And Cooper's. GIMME.

That being said, this was my least favorite in the series - which had a lot to do with the aforementioned least fave tropes. So if the single dad and the nanny and/or age gap romances and/or forbidden love tropes are your thing - this just might be the book for you!
This is the third book in the Book Boyfriends series, and while it can be read as a stand alone, there are some spoilers for the first two books in this one. I think you'll also appreciate some turnabout is fair play type of circumstances (like Weston giving Caleb some much-needed advice) that you'd only really get if you've read the earlier books in the series. Caleb's siblings and their significant others make a fair amount of side character time in this one as well, and if you haven't read the earlier books in the series they might seem pretty... weird. THEY ARE SO LOVABLE, I PROMISE. I highly recommend reading Book Boyfriend and Cocky Roommate before reading this one. There's also a follow-up novella, her Best Friend, about Charlotte and Noah, which I haven't quite decided yet if I'll read. ...more
HOLY CRAP, this book. I have to start by saying that I'm really angry at all the reviews saying they didn't like The Bride Test because it wasn't The HOLY CRAP, this book. I have to start by saying that I'm really angry at all the reviews saying they didn't like The Bride Test because it wasn't The Kiss Quotient. OF COURSE IT'S NOT! If you want to read The Kiss Quotient again, then go reread it. With The Bride Test, Helen Hoang gives us a brand new love story with an autistic hero and a heroine who is just... Gosh, I can't even begin to describe my love and the amount of rooting for Esme I've got going on. Seriously, read the author's note at the end of the book - Esme was originally a side character and a complication for a love triangle in the original plot, but she was SO real and determined and earnest that Helen Hoang had to scrap her original book idea and rewrite it to feature Esme as the heroine. She refused to be treated as unworthy or a second class citizen, and I can't help but stand up and applaud this fictional character for being sweet and ballsy as hell at the same time.
Helen Hoang has a knack for writing characters that are so intensely relatable, even though their experiences and backgrounds are immensely different from my own. I'm a neurotypical middle-class white woman, but I felt like I could really relate to and care about this high school dropout teen mom from a very poor village in Vietnam and this autistic finance-whiz guy from a crazy extensive and pushy Vietnamese family.
In case you couldn't already tell, I am head over heels for Esme. I spent this entire book cheering so hard for her to succeed, wanting so badly for her to see how wonderful she is and to learn to value herself. I love the amazing personal growth Esme goes through over the course of this book, and it's basically got me ready to sing Eye of the Tiger and run up and down some steps in a vigorous training montage or something. Khai is also an amazing character, and I love how clearly Helen Hoang writes his experience with autism, making it understandable and relatable to people who don't have that experience. And then the chemistry and interactions between Khai and Esme! Oof, so much love. They both do the cutest and most endearing things, and they're both kind of odd, which I love.
Khai's mom is also a treasure, and I'd love to meet her and get one of her "carrot-grating" hugs, haha. Khai's brother Quan's book is the next in the series (The Heart Principle) and I am SO EXCITED, because HUBBA HUBBA. The scene where he and Michael are having a sex talk with Khai is just hilarious but also really cute.
The Bride Test is billed as being the second book in The Kiss Quotient series, but it absolutely stands on its own. That being said, definitely read both book because they're both amazing!

WHY? Thankfully, Serena Bell makes it work for her for the most part. This book is very reminiscent of When Harry Met Sally with the whole premise of "Can men and women just be friends?" Head Over Heels is fun and lighthearted, but at the same time it absolutely made me cry towards the end because Bell really made me care about the characters.
Chase and Liv are total opposites - Liv is high maintenance and into interior decor, and Chase is happiest going for an extended camping trip during which he doesn't bother to shower. They meet on a blind date and instantly know that a romantic relationship would never work out for them, but somehow they end up becoming best friends, and that's all they'll ever be... or is it?
Chase and Liv both have dark things in their past that effect the adults they've become, and that hold them back and trap them. This is a really fun friends to lovers, opposites attract romance, but it also is a book about how Chase and Liv deal with their childhood trauma. They both have struggles they need to overcome and I love that there is so much character development for both of them throughout the book. Also, Chase's daughter Katie is the most adorable thing in the world and I want to hug her and squeeze her and play Princesses and Fairies with her and squeeze her little cheeks. While there are plenty of serious issues being dealt with, there is also a LOT of fun to be had, and the back and forth between Liv and Chase is so great.
I'm not usually a big fan of stories with single moms/single dads/kids, but I'm glad I gave Head Over Heels a read. I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves a good friends to lovers romance....more
