Josh really is a sweetheart and I love him and Sophia together. They have both been through so much and bring out the best in each other. The preview for the last book, Nathan and his HEA is intriguing.

I remember really getting to see more of Nathan and Josh in the last book. With each book I love the Shaw family more and more. I love how they happily accept all the new additions with open arms and without question. I loved how Josh and Sophia met, its sad and sweet at the same time. These two characters get to know each other through texting and emotions start to grow. Like any relationship there are obstacles they have to overcome but they were able to work things out. Josh and Sophia help each other grow. There were a few spots I teared up and needed a tissue so I would recommend you have a few ready. I enjoyed Sophia and Josh and I am looking forward to Nate's story.

This series has had my heart, and knowing we are getting close to the end has so many mixed emotions flowing! I absolutely LOVED Josh and Sophia. Right from the start I knew there was going to be a lot of feelings in this read, so keep some tissues near. There's some touching moments, swoony moments, things that twist the heart, and cause those tears to flow. But there's heat, tension, and more. I love a book that can pull me in so deep that I can feel what they are feeling. This checked every box. It's a great read in a much loved series, and I'll be ready for the next book!
Perfect Enough by Kelly Elliott is the story of Joshuah Ty Shaw, the son of Ty Jr. and Kaylee and the brother of Rose Marie. Josh and his cousin, Nathan, are very close in age and were raised together on the ranch; they are the last single Shaws. They are more like brothers than cousins. Josh and Nate have watched their older siblings and cousins fall in love, marry, and start their families, but only one is looking for that for themselves. The other is more of a playboy, starkly contrasting Josh's steadfast beliefs about love and relationships. Josh believes certain intimacies are worth waiting for, and he thinks he has found the woman who could be his forever, Sophia Montgomery. Sophia Montgomery is a dance instructor working for her parent's studio. She teaches and does accounting for the business, but she recently suffered a tragic loss that changed everything. This loss, which is a significant part of her life, has left her in a state of contemplation and grief. While contemplating her grief, she texts her father's phone number and receives a reply that starts a whole new chapter in her life.
Perfect Enough, the penultimate book in the series, delves into life issues while promising a happy ever after. As a fan of the series, I eagerly anticipate Nate's story, which has yet to unfold.

4.5 stars
The series keeps getting better, the last two books have stuck with me. I am getting much too attached to the Shaw family and all the extended relations. I adored the parents, but I think the second generation has topped them.
Sophia and Josh’s story will grab your heart and squeeze it. The emotions, romance, and the characters, combined with Elliott’s storytelling, are an addicting combination. The first time they meet in person is swoon-worthy, and the texts are perfect, as this is how the two initially meet. Much like the last book, a few tears were shed, but this family is just that special.
With one book remaining, I know Nate will be falling hard!
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Josh and Sophia’s story is a sweet and charming fake-relationship-turns-real romance. Loss and grief play a big role in their story, as does fate and an indefinable connection. A text to her recently deceased father’s phone number to express her grief and confusion leads Sophia to communicate with Josh, a volunteer firefighter and rancher. His compassion, understanding and willingness to keep texting with her gives Sophia an outlet to express her feelings and to release stress. Talking about her father with her mother is currently a no go, especially with her mother becoming even more obsessed than usual with Sophia’s love life. To keep her mother from setting her up on dates or enrolling her in a dating app, Sophia tells her that Josh is her new boyfriend. In need of a date to a cousin’s wedding, she asks Josh who instantly agrees to be her fake boyfriend. The sparks, mutual attraction and connection they feel have them both wanting more than just friendship with each other.
Despite having very different financial backgrounds and family life, Josh and Sophia have core values in common. That doesn’t mean that they don’t have a few emotion hurdles to overcome and some soul searching to do before they make decisions about what each wants for their future individually or together. Their story is emotional at times, but it also includes plenty of humour and a dash of spice. I won’t hesitate to recommend it .

Sophia is working through the grief of losing her father, who died by suicide. In coping, she would text his number some of her feelings. One day, when she texts the number, she gets a reply. The text changes her life as she starts talking to the sweet Josh. Feeling some pressure from her mothers to date after getting out of a bad relationship, she says she is dating Josh. Josh agrees to be her fake boyfriend, but when they meet, sparks fly. This relationship suddenly becomes all too real. The couple must deal with the stress in their personal lives while deciding if they can move forward together.
This was a great read. Josh is a kind, generous person who cares so much for Sophie. I loved the scenes where he stood up for Sophie with her extended family. As the relationship progresses, Sophie becomes the person who supports Josh as he goes through his pain. The connection between these two is immediate and they care for each other deeply. These two were so in love, but had their own personal struggles, figuring out their careers and moving forward in their life.
This book deals with tough subject matters, such as grief and loss, but the author handles them gently. Josh has a huge supportive family who add a layer to this story. We were also introduced to Sophia’s mom and friends, who were strong supports for her.
This is the 8th book in an interconnected stand-alone series, but it was easy to pick up without reading the previous books. I am, however, going back to read the other stories, as I loved and enjoyed Kelly Elliott’s writing. If you love a fake dating love story, tackling some tough topics, this is the book for you! Thank you to Grey’s PR and the author for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.

This was my first book by this author. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to read more by her. It was a very emotional story but I lo how they met and got to know each other. I felt so bad for Sophia because of how her family was treating her. Sophia and Josh were definitely made for one another. This book made me feel all the feels from sad to mad to happy. I love a book that makes me laugh and cry. Would 100% recommend this book! Can't wait for Nate's story
