This started off really cute! In a way this was kind of a short and sweet story, the pace moving right along, not a lot of time spent on anything besides the story. Right off the bat I though Izzy was a little bit out there. But it was fun to see her and Nathaniel interacting and how she loosened him up along the way. This is my first book in the Soulmates in Romeo series, but I’ve been wanting to start it for a while now! After reading this one, I know that I do still want to go back and read the others, and as quick and easy of a little read it was, I know I can fit them in among other review books.

The little town was so cute, and the characters were all pretty much as expected. There was the moment when it seemed like maybe Nathaniel might get his ex back, but I like the way the author handled it. It was the perfect way. And it wasn’t necessarily that the guy who swept her off her feet had been using her. Yeah, he was Italian and suave and romantic in all the ways that Izzy said, but he was still a good guy. As to Izzy’s ex, I had a feeling it was going to be what it was, based on how she’d handled any questions or phrased her answers.

So many cute things in this, banter, accidental spills and incidents, and the romantic swoony parts too. But my favorite was probably this poem:

“Chocolates are sweet and so are you…let’s eat the whole box, yum, yum, chew.”
