This book was rather delightful. It's absolute brain candy, but I really appreciated the uniqueness of a main female love interest being chronically ill and disabled. 

I also liked Red quite a bit, which is surprising because I'm usually not a big fan of men in romance novels. But he reminded me of my partner, with his compassion and always paying close attention to Chloe and anticipating her needs. I saw some reviews complaining that he was a mind reader, but I disagree. He simply paid attention to her physical signs of pain and exhaustion and acted accordingly. Literally the least we can expect from a devoted partner, in my opinion.

The smut wasn't for me, but that's not unusual. It also was unnecessarily dramatic at times, but I feel like that's easily forgiven with books like this. 

Overall, I found it to be a very relaxing and fun read with much appreciated diversity and accurate disability representation.

Very very cute. Found the characters likeable and fully formed. The sexy parts are verrrry sexy. Made the mistake of listening to the audiobook while driving and damn near crashed on the highway. Don't do that. 
Excited for the rest of the series!

Very cute, unbelievably cute. I adored these characters. Shout out to a reverse grumpy/sunshine. I loved all the representation and character growth. Am I disappointed in that 3rd act, slightly but less than normal. 

Romance, Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine, Hate to Love, 3 🔥

One thing about me I am gonna fuck up a grumpy/sunshine pairing, ESPECIALLY if one of the characters is disabled and it's normalized/accommodated. EAT YOUR HEART OUT TALIA HIBBERT!!!!!

I read and loved another Brown Sisters book last year and I was right to finally pick up another one. This author truly has a way of writing simple but real stories with characters that are deeply flawed yet so incredibly likeable and relateable. 
I saw so much of myself in the MC. And seeing her learning to take a leap and break through her conditioned behaviour is honestly a little healing, especially when it comes to dating and relationships. 
Really enjoyed this book, really connected with everyone. We love a man written by a woman. We love  good representation for black people, Plus-Size people, and disabled people. 
This just made me chest feel a bit warm and fuzzy and  made me feel a little bit braver to stray from my set ways of life that may be comfortable, but aren't actually helping me in the long run.
