Maybe Someone Like You is a sweet story about coming into ones self. Insecurities plague Katie's mind after he boyfriend went from Prince potential to total toad. Always trying to please Mom isn't exactly a confidence booster either. Losing her first Job before it starts...Yeah, Katie is wallowing in self pity. Until she meets him.
Ryan is the total opposite of anything Katie has ever found attractive. He's a big tattooed guy. He looks rough around the edges and like her could crush her. But it seerms the only thing getting crushed is her heart...
Miscommunication. Or lack of communication seems to be the comedy of errors that sets Katie up for more than a gym membership. It sets her up to fall. And fall she did.
This sweet story was a cute read. Not to spoil anyone's fun but gets more intense in feels than I thought it would. Katie's insecurities can take a toll on the reader and make you feel her self deprecating thoughts. But just wait, you will feel better! I promise. Katie gets her act together and well...It is a beautiful thing.

I adored this story. It’s very slow-burning, I can’t stress that enough, but I really enjoyed the journey.
I’m so in love with Ryan. He is just an all around good guy with no baggage or hidden trauma who seemed perfectly content with getting to know Katie before diving into a relationship with her. He was so sweet with Sydney and he was all about his family and his love for the gym and training.
I can see why some people might be put off by the slow pace of the story and the budding possible romance between Katie and Ryan but I think that the way that it played out was perfect. At first I felt unsatisfied with the way the story finished, I felt like I was maybe missing out on to greatest parts of Katie and Ryan’s relationship, but after having time to sit and relive their story, I am content with it.
This is my first time reading this author but I look forward to reading more from her.

2.5/5 stars. This book passed the time just fine and I read it in one night over a holiday weekend, but it was pretty forgettable - literally the next morning I could not remember the title or the main character's name. It was cute though. I think it just bothered me that it was a bit too predictable.
Thank you to Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for the advanced review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This was such an addictive, romantic and sweet read and I'm still debating whether or not I should promote the book to a 5-star rating instead of 4.5 stars. This story was one I just couldn't stop reading once started and finished in nearly one-sitting (I had to take care of my son at some point, lol otherwise I would've definitely finished it in 1 sitting)

Ryan is one of the most awesome book boyfriends ever and he made me swoon and purr like a kitten. He just couldn't do anything wrong in my book, lol. He was attentive, sweet, funny, sexy, badass all wrapped in one awesome package and I couldn't get enough of him. Too bad though the story was only in Katie's POV haha, I would've loooooved reading Ryan's POV as well.
Katie was a really interesting character and I admire her so much for the way she lives her life. She's smart, ambitious, and ready to step out of her comfort zone to get what she wants. Sure she makes mistakes and could've handled things differently here and there to achieve more progress in the romance but it somehow made her feel really realistic I think. Because underneath her bravo exterior and her brave character, she had her moments of weakness and insecurity and the way the author wrote down this character, was just really well done I think!
the Romance is a slow-burn so it has all the potential to develop into a really great romance. There was always a bit of angst presence in the background which only spurred me on to read as fast as possible because I wanted to know more more more.

The only thing that bothered me a bit was the wrap-up at the end; it was too quick haha. Things I've been waiting for the entire book to happen were happening in just a couple of pages near the end.
---
But overall it was a really AMAZING read. It was humorous from time to time, the chemistry and friendship between the main characters are so perfectly written and therefore I really liked the slow-burn romance, instead of wanting things to happen earlier on in the story so there was a friendship present first. I loooved Ryan, I loved Katie and I loved the minor characters - there were several characters present I wouldn't have minded if there'd be a full-length novel for them as well.
This was my first Stacy Wise book and I can't wait to read more by this author - Already put in a pre-order for the printed edition of this book when it releases and I put her other book, Beyond the Stars, on my wishlist.
If you love a sweet, slow burn romance with some really amazing characters and lovable minor characters as well, low on angst, that is just a really addictive and light read... THIS is the book you need to put on your wishlist/order! I love exploring this genre and 'meeting' new authors and this is one author I'm reaaaally happy to have found! Definitely a recommendation to anyone who's into romance and likes a story that isn't only revolved around a romance between the main characters. It simmers in the background so it's present and you're waiting for things to happen, but there's so much more than romance in this book and I loved the perfect balance between the story-line and the romance. 4.5 out of 5 stars!

This is my first book by Stacy Wise and I have to say I enjoyed it. Even though it's not my usual read, being that it's pure romance and completely free of sex.
But Maybe Someone Like You really drew me in. As it had a nice slow burn element to it, and was extremely sweet, charming and very easy to read. Not to mention the characters were likeable, especially Ryan.
Plus, the story flowed well and kept me engaged throughout. And I'd happily recommend it to others. I'd also look out for more stories from this author in the future.

This book was cute. The writing wasn't the best but it still sucked me in. There wasn't enough descriptions (mostly of the characters) and there were some holes in the plot. Other than that it was a enjoyable quick read. I liked all the kickboxing but I wish Katie would have used her new skills on someone.
