This quick read is a morsel of a treat. It has LGBTQ+ representation, but the main plot is how two almost kissed in the past souls get together for a second chance at it. I loved Addison and Frankie's personalities and interactions. It is truly a gem, given this is a novella, do not expect too much back story. I was satisfied with the explanation on what happened in the past. If you are into longing, best friend's little sister, with an amazing pup in the mix, this book is for you.

A rather emotional read, I was not expecting to feel so much. Disguised as a cute romance, where the characters communicate with each other via post its, we learn there's more to it than meets the eye. A new to me author, Anna P writes profoundly developed and flawed characters. She doesn't shy away from the realities of mental health and their ugly sides. We read how each of the MCs works through their issues, individual and collectively. The found family surrounding them is top notch. If you are into romance stories with emotional depth, this book is for you.

This book covers the ugly side of reality TV disguised as a light-hearted romance read. Our hero is a former contestant who finds himself in need of a fake date for a reunion show. Here comes our MFC media marketing extraordinaire who is helping promote and place his business brand. Of course she's the perfect fake date, not withstanding that he feels insta lust. The book takes us on a journey of two people getting to know each other and filling the pages with steam. This book has a believable plot. If you like fake fiancee, accidental (?) marriage, and great characters, this book is for you.

Pass the time paranormal romance, easily skipable spice, but may miss key plot lines.

Absolutely delightful read for anyone who wants to understand what blended families entail. The LGBTQ+ theme is a plus. This author puts such care in their characters' personalities that I felt I was invested in their life's.
