Received an ARC from publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is a fun and lighthearted, but emotional and times, rom-com. It's a unique concept, somewhat similar to the fake dating trope. The 'cuffing' concept is something I hadn't heard of before.

Jess and Cody are both well fleshed out characters as are the secondary characters. It's great to see one of the leads being a mother, as we don't get much of that in sapphic romance.

The pacing did feel a bit slow at times, but looking forward to reading the next book in the series nonetheless.

This is the 7th book in the River's Community Romance series, but I haven't read any of the other books. I may have enjoyed it more if I had.

I felt the romance between the two main characters was too rushed and underdeveloped, we barely got to see them interact together due to all the other characters and the sub-plots (which are also underdeveloped). It was over ⅓ of the way through the book before the 2 main characters actually spend 1 moment alone together.
