I loved this book! 

- fake dating 
- best friends little sister
- sports romance - rowing
- university/college setting
- long term mutual crushes

This was so cute! I love that they have mutual crushes on each other and how awkward and nervous they were at first and how their relationship grew and changed into real feelings (although it never really felt fake)

I enjoyed all the dates they went on and how he asked her to be his valentine 

The 3rd act break up wasn't annoying really and it led to a cute reunion 

Overall this was such a cute read and everyone should pick it up

This takes place at the same time as the first book in the series - they don't have to be read in any order really 

Thank you to Michael Joseph/Penguin and NetGalley for the eARC - all opinions are my own

This was such a good read, it was a great mix of rom-com and mystery

I loved the jockey banter between the main characters and how they always stuck together and believed each other with their hunches over the case

I really enjoyed how the mystery came together and how clever it was being intertwined with the mystery author

- mystery authors solving a mystery 
- set at Christmas
- forced proximity 
- dislike to love

I liked this, it has all my fave tropes but I did feel like it was missing something maybe cos it was so short (im not really sure)

- forced proximity / snowed in
- best friends brother
- long term yearning
- dual timeline
- dual pov

I went through all the emotions with this book

I didn't expect it to be as emotional as it was but I really enjoyed those moments (especially from the MMC)

There were some really cute and tender moments with the MMC and the child which were so good

This is a slow burn but so worth the wait especially with everything else that is going on 

- forced proximity 
- found family 
- 'its always been you'
- he's grumpy
- sports romance (pro American football)

Thank you to Montlake & NetGalley for the ARC - all opinions are my own

I think I preferred the 1st in the series but still thought this was a cute quick read

I love that the story was over a longer period of time and you really got to see their relationship develop

- airport meet cute
- he's her brothers rival
- dual pov, 1st person

This was a really cute novella

There were so many cute romcom moments in this I had a great time reading

- snowed in together
- long term crushes
- brothers best friend 
- she's an identical twin but can always tell them apart
- novella
- set at Christmas
- single pov (mainly - epilogue in other pov), 1st person

This was a cute and quick Christmas read

I really enjoyed this and thought for the length (~120 pages) the pacing and plot was great, it didn't feel too rushed or didn't leave me feeling like I missed seeing something

- co-workers
- snowed in overnight whilst visiting a client's house
- he's grumpy
- single mum
- age gap (10 years)

I wanted to love this cos Ive loved other books by this author but I just didnt click with this 

I thought the premise was cute but for me the execution and the romance between the main characters wasn't really there and I didn't feel it

- forced proximity 
- she's had a crush on him for the past year
- set at Hanukkah 
- dual pov

I loved this book!! 

I love how supportive the main characters were of each other and could get really vulnerable with each other and were open with each other and discussed things they were insecure about 

The spicy scenes in this book were so so good and the mouth on Freddy 👀🤭🥵

I really love Peyton's writing and the depth and layers that her stories have to them

- student x tutor
- college romance 
- sports romance (college hockey)
- learning differences rep
- dual pov, first person 

Ps I need Bennetts book asap, like the little bits we saw of him I'm so intrigued and have so many questions I need answering 

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for the eARC - all opinions are my own

This was a good fast paced story. 

I thought the pacing was a little too fast at the end and wanted to see more of them once they actually got together instead of just small glimpses of them

I enjoyed the storyline and really liked both the main characters 

- single mum
- sports romance (pro American football)
- accidentally pregnancy 
- hate (dislike) to love
