I just love these books. They are such a comfort read for me. I had a little trouble with this near the end regarding the conflict that threatens the couple (not a spoiler, just Standard Operating Procedure in a romance novel). It's pretty bad, and I felt like even though I understood why the characters did what they did, it would've taken awhile for me to move past it if it had happened to me.

But at the end of the day, I really enjoyed these characters, their banter, and the romance between them.

I have listened to this whole series (that's currently available) via audiobook, and I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of this voice actor. She's done all of the other books in the series as well. She is competent at different accents, but she makes some strange choices that make no sense to me. One example: Lily is supposed to have a very high, Marilyn-Monroe-esque type of voice. It's supposedly so obnoxious that it's kept her from getting work in the past and pigeon-holed the types of roles she's gotten thus far. And the voice the narrator uses is a little high, but not anything out of the ordinary. Then there's Freddie (who is the main character a couple of books later) and she's given this little girl voice, despite the fact that she is also an adult and has been a constant in the theater scene for years. It didn't make any sense to me. Plus, there was no difference to the way Lily sounded at the beginning of the audiobook to the way she sounded at the end, despite the fact that she'd been working with a vocal coach to help her lower the tone of her voice. Also, there are instances of other characters from future books being introduced in this book that sound nothing like they do later on in their own story. It didn't affect the rating I gave this book and it didn't affect my enjoyment, but I do think that the audiobooks aren't as strong as they could be.

I am really excited for the next book in the series to come out, now that I've basically binged the prior books within the last month.
