This was an alright story ! Emma and Charlie were hard to like as they really have off-putting personalities! Also WHY IS THERE A THIRD ACT BREAK UP ?!  And then we get the sweetness … it was so brutal as was the fight between sisters … and for being a romance … two kisses is it ???  I guess I was expecting more and ended up falling short !

I liked this one... minus the quick wrap up of the ending! Because it still left me with questions! I liked the christmas aspect, the grumpy vs sunshine. Colten  was just so sweet and I had appreciated him for a long time in the other books, so it was nice to see him in the spotlight!! I'd love to see more of the bros!! So fingers crossed !!

It was so nice to come back to this universe! It has been a long time coming and I was happy to return !! Vlad was a delight in other books and this one was no different ! It was great to see his love story unfold and to see him right a book too!! I really do appreciate all members of the bromance bookclub and cant wait to read the next story!!

I really enjoyed the setting of this book and the banter of the characters!  I love the journey Em goes on and how much she meant to her favourite author! I liked knowing the background characters, but I found myself more invested in this love story!

This was a heartwarming story about a grumpy chef who has become a single parent and this quirky next store neighbour who has many amazing animals. I really did enjoy the journey both these characters went on and how they accepted the emotional damage that both of them had been on and never held it against them!

Like I continue to love this series! But I feel as though the beginning of the book was almost unnecessary as they just ended up back where they started with more trauma!! I would have been so mad reading this book and having to wait for the next one because the shit that goes down at the end as me biting at the bit to pick up the next one! So sally forth my friends of book lovers! Let's go fuck this up!

Oh this book didn’t even take a pause from the first one !! I loved seeing more about the running of the library and the different aspects of it !! I am so happy with our ragtag group of is back together and fighting the good fight !! 

But wow !! Santi and Wolfe just are everything I could give a shit about !! Seriously their protectiveness for each other and love just makes me absolutely feral !!

It is a very cheesy story! Cute and predictable, but certainly nothing to bite into and nothing really depth! I really hate when girls will forget their friends when they get a boyfriend... and to be fair her friends could have been hand waved away as could her mom and grandma... which was disappoint because I think they could have added more to the story!

Yeah this was phenomenal!! A little slow off the get go but once you get into it you dont want to stop!! The world building and simply the concept of the Library is something that I was immediately drawn too!! Soo good! Listen the kiddlets are good but the ADULTS are better!! Hello Wolfe and Santi!! A love story that is right up my alley!! Also Wolfe's trauma is something that I am here for!!! SO yea I will be continuing on this series to see what happens!!!

I really liked this book! For many different reasons! I love how both Olive and Stella have their own baggage and issues that are addressed through out the story! It is a very sweet love story and spicy as well. And honestly Stella have Celiac was huge for me! I have never seen myself represented in literature like that and it meant the world to me!!
