Just want to start off with this: Falon Ballard is becoming one of my new favorite romance writers. Lease on Love and now Just My Type have both made my heart swell!

Lana is never ever really single and has trouble staying out of long-term relationships. Seth has never settled down and has never been with someone for long. They are exes who are thrown into a work competition when Seth shows up out of the blue into Lana's life again after 12 years. Lana has to be single and alone while Seth has to practice commitment. Will they be able to do their job without killing each other or will they forgive each other for the 12 years of heartache?

Let me just say I love Lana. She is so in love with books and Marvel and all things nerdy so I heavily related to her. I mean...she even says "thank Loki" or "thank Thor"! I didn't even know I needed that until I had it in a book. She was so open with her nerdy interests and I love that we are seeing that portrayed in a main female character! Seth was a cutie with his silly, dumb heart on right his sleeve and I loved the easy banter he had with Lana. He was also a respectable gentleman!! One we all deserve!! The love/hate tension was definitely there for these two exes and it made the the competition so much fun. The slow build up was worth it and I will never look at a sunflower again without maybe tearing up a little bit. 

Falon Ballard also does an amazing job building her surrounding world and characters. I don't love when writers forget about the best friends, parents, etc. in romances because it makes everything seem unrealistic. I know we are obsessed with love, but someone cannot survive only on romantic love alone. Lana's friends are always beside her throughout her struggles, her spotty relationship with her mother doesn't just disappear, and her therapist is there for a session when crap hits the fan. Another thing I appreciate about Ballard's books is that there is always a sense of working on oneself and the importance of self-care. It's such an important message for young woman, and young kids in general, growing up while reading these books. 

I loved a lot about this book, but it only got 4 stars because I didn't find myself as enamored with it as Lease on Love. It's still a lovely written romance, but I had a hard time not comparing the two so realized I like Lease on Love more. I felt like Seth was a little bland and basic hot-boy compared to Jack. A very charming, honorable hot-boy, but a hot-boy nonetheless. I'm also not the biggest fan in general of exes reuniting - I want the strangers spark or the enemies to lovers without previous romantic involvement (but that's on me as the reader and not the author). Lastly, I didn't vibe with the lack of communication because it just drives me crazy, but I know it is a real thing in everyone's lives. I was just spoiled by the spectacular communication between Jack and Sadie in Lease on Love! Again, a lot of these gripes are more on me personally as a reader and not on Falon Ballard as a writer.

Overall, this is definitely a book that will be on my bookshelf and I will absolutely be buying more of Falon Ballards books!
