Romance, a bit racy. The second in the series, but you don't have to have read the first book, they're loosely connected. The first was entertaining as well. Recommendations both

Noooo. Not much happens, there's little chemistry between the characters, and Carlos is controlling and arrogant (which others call him out on, jokingly, but it's actually a problem)! Maybe could have been better had it not been framed as a romance, which may have allowed for more depth in the plot and interactions with side characters. (I wanna read more about Dana and Natalie!)

*Update 5/7/23*
Now that I’m on book 6 (and final book) of the series, this is so far still my number 1! A year after finishing this, I’m STILL thinking about Carlos and how much I loved him 💜 

*Original*
This was my second book from Guillory and she continues to make me fall in love!

Carlos was my fave in The Wedding Date so I'm happy to see him in his own story.

He only gets more attractive in this book! I loved Nik and all of the side characters as well. Guillory does a wonderful job bringing each character to life and making the side characters more than just a listening ear to our MCs! The character development is also very well done.

The writing style makes this a quick, easy read that immerses me in the novel. I laughed out loud and cried a little throughout the book. Overall a fantastic read and Guillory has definitely become one of my favorite romance authors! I can't wait to continue the rest of the series.

* one day read

Really cute read. Enough character depth that made the story real and made me want to root for both of the characters. Too many steamy parts but was able to skip and not miss any plot points. Fun plot line.

I also really enjoyed getting to explore the relationships with friends and family that each character had.

I enjoy Jasmine Guillory’s writing.
