A steamy contemporary romance novel inspired by When Harry Met Sally?! Yes yes, a million times yes.
OH MY GODDESS, I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!! It's nearly midnight and I see no sleep in my future because I just binge read the crap out of this book and I'm wired in ways only a great book can accomplish. I read fast because I couldn't stop, but I'm sad it's over. THE BANTER! THE TENSION! THE MYSTERY! THE ... GRAHAM. Sweet baby Jesus, the Graham. I don't know that I can clearly articulate better words right now (2 seconds after having finished the book) but just go read it. It's wonderful.
Thank you netgalley for an eArc of what will sure to be a top read of the year.

The spice was nice but the book wrapped up super quick. It moved too quickly for me to get really invested. But its great if you're looking for a quick spicy read with an alphahole.
I thoroughly enjoyed Meryl's book Something's Gotta Give and thought this would be a similar sweet story with very little spice and I was quite enthusiastic to realize rather immediately that this book has quite a bit more chilli peppers than the last book! Not only that, but as a person who doesn't usually read age gap romances this story kept me HOOKED throughout the whole book and ended with me in tears over the love and emotions found within it. Hardcore recommend this one!
Honestly some of the best erotica I've ever read. Normally I'm not an erotica fan because I need plot but there's just enough of it here to keep me interested!
Okay, I almost never cry reading books. In fact, I avoid that shit. But I teared up 3 times reading this book, and I loved every second of it. This book is a beautiful work of love and understanding of differences and the various forms of grief that life can throw our way. I loved reading this book, and I was recommending it to friends before I even finished reading it. In fact, I was recommending it before we got to any spiciness -- and that is truly saying something amongst my friend group. Chloe has launched herself to the top of my must-reads list and I am immediately picking up book two in the series -- even though I know it's going to make me feel feelings. Gross. ;)
“With what ifs also comes hope, and with hope comes the possibility of disappointment. Its scary to hope and dream.”
“I watch his hands grip and wipe the towel, then unbutton the cuffs and slowly fold the fabric along his arms. Its another damn forearm striptease as he rolls up soft, warm flannel. This one’s christmas tree green, checkered with white and wine red. Its festive as hell. He looks like a Yuletide wet dream.”
“My voice is husky. I sound like my panties are drenched and the lace of my bralette is about to curl off my burning skin because -– thems the facts.”
“I’d rather be afraid with you, than fearless with anybody else.”
“I think that’s what it means to love, the way I love you. To love so much, you feel broken open and at the same time, healed. Maybe that’s what it means to be vulnerable. Maybe that’s intimacy. Whatever it is. Whatever it means. I don’t want it to ever end.”

Unfairly cute is the perfect description for this book. It is seriously adorable.
I have now officially read this entire series by Mazey Eddings. I do think that Lizzie Blake was my favorite, but this one just sneaks closely behind in second place. I'm really glad I gave the series another shot after Brush With Love because I just didn't connect to that book for some reason. I loved Indira and Jude so much. They are sweet and wonderful and their banter was so fun.
I listened to the audiobook of this and I loved both narrators. I will absolutely be searching out Imani Jade Powers moving forward. Her voice was so expressive and soothing.

I had previously read A Brush With Love, and while I didn't instantly fall in love with the book I did enjoy the writing style enough to know that I wanted to read another book by Mazey Eddings. When this popped up on Net Galley, I requested it instantly and was excited to be given the opportunity to read it. I didn't even read the synopsis, which is perfect because I don't think I would have requested it. Normally, I'm not a big fan of the pregnancy trope in books but I found myself falling in love with this book, Rake, and Lizzie. I love their opposites attract banter and the silliness found within their blooming relationship. Rake is my favorite type of hero, who finds himself letting go of his sternness around the free-spirited, Lizzie.
