I really liked this book! It is a fun read and I connected with the characters. I read her first book and loved it so I gave this one a try and loved it as well.

Read this book if you like:
* trauma bonding
* found family
* one night stand
* forced proximity
* dual POV

I enjoyed the character development and self-discovery of the characters both in Aurora and Russ.
I'm definitely looking forward to more books by Hannah Grace!

I was hesitant to read this book because of the mixed reviews, but boy am I glad I gave it a chance. I really enjoyed this book. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I found Anastasia to be annoying at times. While I found Anastasia annoying at times, Nathan is top tier boyfriend material. If you are on the fence, I say go for it and give this book a try. Then go read book #2 in this series. Hopefully Henry's book is #3.

I went into this book blind. All I knew was that it was a single mom troupe. WOW! I loved this book more than I thought I would. Jonathan and Kennedy were real and raw. I love a second chance romance and this book had me rooting for them throughout the whole book. I was literally hooked on this book from the very beginning.

Read this book if you like:
* second chance romances
* mature communication
* single mom troupe
* dual POV
* past and present timelines

This book is one of my top reads of the year. Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Thank you NetGalley for this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book had me constantly smiling while reading! In this book we meet Aspen and Luke. Aspen is used to people leaving her. She has an absent dad, an unreliable mom and a list of exes that weren't with her for the right reasons. Luke is her co-worker and friend. He has had a crush on her since he met her.

I love the authenticity of the characters. They were honest and loved each other for who they were. This book also had all of my favorite troupes! It had friends to lovers, fake dating, he falls first and one bed to name a few.

I so connected with Aspen and not always feeling like enough for others. Luke loved her and was there for her. He showed her she was worth it. I loved the family dynamic and how Luke's family embraced Aspen.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Shannon Paige.

Thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for this free ebook in exchange for my honest review.

This book has put me in my Christmas rom-com reading era. It was such a feel good book that had me smiling and feeling like I was watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. This was my first Christmas book of the year and now I am excited to read some more.

In this book we meet Eve and Joe. It's a he falls first (which I love) and a friends to lovers (which I also love) romance. They both work for a jewelry story and due to a mix up have to deliver 5 rings before Christmas. I loved reading about the various deliveries and the funny antics that ensue. I often found myself laughing out loud.

It is told in duel POV. There is no spice and it is a bit of a slow burn for the main characters to express their feelings, but it is such a fun and feel good story. I was totally rooting for Eve and Joe, even though Eve just got out of a 3 year relationship. I kept wondering how they would realize they BOTH had feelings for each other. It kept me intrigued and wanting to continue to read way past my bedtime.

I have never read anything by this author but would give her other books. a try. This book did have vocabulary I was unfamiliar with since the setting was in London, but it didn't affect my ability to love this book.
