This book was a delight! Luckily I wasn’t reading it while out in public because it had me laughing out loud a lot! If you like rom-coms that get the comedy parts right, I think you’ll really enjoy this one. It’s silly and absurd and was so much fun. It was also an adorable romance. It was cozy and romantic but also steamy and full of hilarious banter. I loved the quirky cast of characters and the insanity of the situation our hero, Ray, finds himself in. It was a good time from start to finish and I’m really glad it got on my radar!

The whole book is told from the POV of Ray Underwood, a 32-year-old graphic designer whose life is turned upside down after a pity party gone wrong winds up with him making an unexpected discovery under his bedroom floor. I usually prefer dual POV but he worked so well as the narrator here that I didn’t mind one bit. Ray is a little high-strung and can be a bit neurotic but he was such a lovable character. I absolutely loved seeing him continually flustered by the attention of Adam, the much younger, very attractive man, who Ray has a complicated history with. But he’s also the man who keeps showing up for Ray when he needs him most.

Adam may have been young (early 20s) but he was such a confident character. He could come off as bossy but he always knew what Ray needed, even if Ray didn’t, and he had a knack for soothing him. His maturity and self-assuredness were hot, not gonna lie. Ray was powerless against it. I loved Ray’s journey to recognizing the vulnerabilities within Adam too and figuring out how to be there for him the way that Adam was always there for Ray. At first glance, it may seem these two shouldn’t work, but they absolutely did. They were sweet and sexy and so funny with their banter. Even during the spicy scenes, the banter was so good.

I already miss these guys! But I suspect I’ll be seeing more of them in the second book given who the MCs of that book are. If you’re looking for a rom-com that’s got great romance and comedy, I would recommend this book. Be prepared to laugh and swoon!
