This was grumpy x sunshine in the best way. It was done so well!!! I loved the banter, and how they could just rib each other back and forth all in good fun. The small but grand gestures to show they are observant and listening. 

Fletcher fell SO HARD for Goldie. And little sweet pea!!! Fletcher was a ridiculously loving dog dad but it was so funny.

This was cute, and Charlie was the ultimate himbo golden retriever. 

I needed more romance for Mr. Romance himself! He got like one grand gesture (and lots of random sandwiches) but a date or two would have been appreciated. 

Liam and Charlie was super cute together. The short gymnastics king gets the hot guy everyone wants to date (and assumed they already were) 
It was fun and I had a good time.

Very tense, and emotional. While the MMCs are taboo you can’t help but root for them. 

Super codependent but you need their HEA.

Easy read, and predictable. But sometimes that is what you need in a book.

I enjoyed it overall, the characters had dimension, and it was an interesting storyline.

Ummm I did not care for it.
It was fine but nothing blew me away. I wasn’t excited about what was coming next, only that I wanted it to be over.

Not that thrilled by it to be honest.

I don’t get the hype, but to each their own.

So much more than an age gap, boss’s boss’s boss romance. I felt like it showed what love is - the good and the bad.

Ok how did this girl not get a UTI or anything from the blow pop scene?? While hot as hell, I can’t get past that shock lol

OK I fell so hard for crew. Although he’s a spoiled rich boy, I really think Wren was good for him. Maybe not the purest on intentions in the beginning (the challenge in being her first) I really think they opened up and started a true friendship which led to more.

I liked how he helped her be more confident in herself.

She was shy at first but slowly become her true self and was able to express her wants and needs
