Thank-you to NetGalley, Harlequin, and Adele Buck for the eARC.
Oh man. I so wanted to enjoy this. I didn't even want it to be GOOD, I just wanted to have fun. Unfortunately, this just didn't work for me. I normally have no problem with insta-love, but something about this one just did NOT work for me. Additionally, I found a lot of the dialogue extremely cringy and I just. ugh. It was a struggle to get through this one.

i don’t think i was the target audience for this book. it seemed fine at times and overwhelmingly cringey and overdone at other times - probably wouldn’t read again

Thank you NetGalley and Adele for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC.
This book is well written, has its funny moments as well as its serious moments and is an easy, lighthearted read.
I really resonated with Eva a lot as I too am an only child, married to a man that is slightly younger than me and we are also currently on the fence about having children, so this book really spoke to me in more ways than one.
Can I start off by saying, Sean is such a damn treat I mean not only is this 6ft something, gorgeous man a firefighter, he is also a man who reads classic romance books, he's great with kids and he is fire In the bedroom!!!
I mean, tell me he is a fictional character without telling me he is a fictional characters😆Book boyfriend goals for sure.
Eva is a smoke show, a literature professor, with fire hot red hair and the brains to match her pretty face, not to mention the cutest little dog you ever did see.
Ok now that the very important characters details are covered!!!
If you love fake dating, delicious spice, smart woman and hot as hell men (in uniform), cute dogs, over protective MMCs, age gap romance and a burning hatred for your ex (optional extra) then this book will definitely light your fire🔥

I just found there to be no connection between the two characters at all and was just kind of bored the entire time
