2.95 stars, this pains me because I was so excited for this I just did not click with it at all, it’s a shame but it is what it is just wasn’t for me but I am interested in the brothers and hopefully I have better luck with their books

I had all the reasons to like it, the representation, the side characters, the story but still ended up not enjoying.

Am I even surprised that this book was freaking amazing? no, im not
It was so good, sweet, swoony, so fun and sexy.
Sunny and Beck's banter was fantastic. The author has an incredible sense of humor and always makes me laugh out loud.

Another thing I also enjoyed is how although both Beck and Sunny had real life issues, they handle them in the best way they could; and the fact that Sunny had a support system made everything more manageable for her and I loooooved that they integrated Beck into their found family.

I'm not a big fan of oysters, but now I see shucking oysters in a new, completely different way, LOL
P. S. Loved the cameos of beloved characters from Friendship and the Canterbaryverse.


Thank you to the author and team for the ARC.

This was a good read. got messy towards the end in my opinion I felt like a lot was happening but I enjoyed the development of Sunny and Beckett's relationship and the smidge of suspense thrown in there was interesting!

brother best friend just continues to be a trope I struggle with

Can we give it up for the most emotionally well regulated FMC that I’ve ever read in romance novel? Sunny was a dream, and made ME want to be a better partner IRL!? I loved how she helped Beckett recognize and work through his own internalized issues and vulnerabilities, while standing her ground in a very mature, no nonsense way. Awesome love story; looking forward to more Loew brother love stories!

Special thanks to Kate’s team for my first ARC, what a wonderful experience ❤️

Ps. Um, Parker was hands down my favorite character…can we get him a book like 5 years down the road?!? This kid is going places!

This was cute and enjoyable. Love the small town vibes and honestly, the ridiculousness of a lot of the plot. However the love interest was a little too straight up mean imo in the beginning. I didn't get sexy banter from their encounters....However he definitely redeemed himself by the end and I really came to love them together.

4.75 ⭐️ I was literally obsessed with this from the start! Truly starting to LOVE how Kate writes her books!

I was so disappointed in this book. Let me start by saying I absolutely ADORED In A Jam, so I went into this with extremely high expectations and hopes. But I felt like there were so many missed opportunities for tension to build and it just went on a bit. Was a bit boring but also had so many side characters that I just got lost. I love Kate, but this was a big miss for me

Sunny & Becket.

4.5 ⭐️

So good to revisit the town of Friendship. I loved both Sunny and Becket. The banter and humour was top notch. The spice was
