What to expect: music, forced proximity, workplace romance, opposites attract, sunshine (her) x grumpy (him) 

Can def feel the Reylo vibes of this one, and it's done really well. The writing is beautiful and I love all the music lingo that was used to describe things. Also loved how horny this book was.

Thank you PRH Audio for the advanced listening copy!

What to expect: second chance romance, forced proximity, wedding setting, paper rings (iykyk)

The end of this book had me crying in my car driving home from work.

I loved the second chance romance and how we got to see when they first met. I also loved the wedding setting and how they kept getting mistaken for the couple getting married. The writing was beautiful, and really put you into the characters shoes. Loved the whole thing!

Spice: 2.5/4
