Another great book in this series from this new to me author! This story of Gaston "Gus" and Chrissie is sexy, emotional and swoon-worthy. I loved meeting Chrissie in the first book as Leah's bestfriend and couldn't wait to read her story, curious to see how it would unfold and I was not disappointed. Gaston had me from the beginning with his determination to catch Chrissie's attention by proving he wasn't the player she thought he was. Get ready to have your heart fluttering from these two who were meant to be!

Read via audiobook. Not your typical romance, as they get together quickly. A little ‘drama’, but most of the story is about their swoon worthy romance. Not too dirty

Chrissie is out with her best friend for her bachelorette party when she accidentally bumps into a drool worthy man who she knows would hold no interest in her. She couldn't be more wrong and when Gaston pursues her she is not sure if she can give him a chance. Gaston knows there is something special about Chrissie but the timid beauty has her reasons why she thinks he is too good to be true, but maybe he is the perfect match for her, now he needs to prove it.
This was a terrific addition to the series. Chrissie is a hard working owner of a bakery and she has kind of let life pass her by at times as she is so busy. Gaston becomes that anchor that has Chrissie realizing she needs to make some changes. Gaston was a swoon worthy hero who you want to read more about. Excellent read.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first book in the series. In this second book, Leah's best friend Chrissie finds her true love. She meets Gaston ( whose dog is named LeFou, so CUTE) who owns several bars in the area. Chrissie owns a bakery called Sweet Spot. They meet and fall in love. Pretty simple stuff and not much happens in terms of the plot, but it is a really adorable story and very enjoyable. Gaston is a gentleman and he and Chrissie are adorable together.

ARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this one more than the others I’ve read from this author so far. No insta-love but insta-attraction which is realistic. I loved how they built their love step after step, it felt organic. I still can’t believe the hero’s name is Gaston and his mother called his adorable dog LeFou it was hilarious
Bonus point: I love this cover so much!!!!

This was a funny sweet read. I loved the characters but wish the drama with the bar manger had been more exciting. It was setup to be something but I felt that fell flat in the end. I really Overall it was good and happy!

I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did a great job. I really enjoyed the H/h and their storyline. The secondary characters were entertaining. This audiobook was a low angst quick listen with a strong alpha hero and heroine.

Chrissie and Gaston meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after in this super boring romance.
I’ve been on a contemporary romance kick lately. This book’s premise caught my eye – who can resist a sexy alpha falling in love with a sweetheart baker? But while the characters and synopsis sound amazing, the story left a lot to be desired. Namely, plot. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens beyond the two main characters falling in love. Perhaps the lack of a plot would have been acceptable if the characters had been more interesting. Sadly, Chrissie and Gaston fail to keep this story from turning into something seriously bland and uninteresting.
I might have chalked this story up to a “it’s me, not you” rating if not for the tears. Not mine, but the main character. Chrissie cries A LOT. Sometimes her tears seemed warranted, but most of the time not. I don’t mind emotional characters, and certainly not tears of happiness. But, my god, EVERYTHING can’t make you cry. And I certainly, as a reader, shouldn’t be laughing out loud every time I see “tears” or “cries” on the page. A little more time creating memorable characters, some sort of plot, or removing all of the crying would have made this a way more enjoyable read.
tl;dr No plot, boring characters, and the main character’s weird propensity to cry all the time had me gladly hate finishing this book.
