(inclusive as in different sexualities and disabilities mentioned and hallmark as in not that deep)
This is definitely a comfort couple and without the sensible topics would have been a comfort book too.

I love their dynamic and how considerate and sweet they are.
Spice(quantity + quality then ÷2)
3.5/5
The spicy scenes really fit their personalities and most were descriptive.

This was a super fun “Much Ado About Nothing” retelling!! Again, we love representation in romance!! The FMC is pan and has autism, and the mmc has anxiety with compulsions. I loved the characters, they were both so incredibly sweet and thoughtful to each other! You could really tell that they cared for each other. I feel like their relationship was just so healthy!! They could read each other’s emotions/expressions and communicate so well! They are a couple that would for sure stay together forever!! Again, Chloe Liese has given me a new fictional man to be obsessed with.
I can’t wait to read about the other two Wilmont sisters and the rest of the Bergman brothers series!!
Chloe Liese never fails to write a romance where the love interests fall so deeply for the other for who they truly are. You can tell that in any life, or in any body, these characters would be together, which is not always true of many romances I’ve read. Their connection is always so deep and meaningful!! I love her writing so much!!

Fake dating usually isn't a trope I enjoy, but this was so well done and I loved it. Everything evolved so naturally and I loved watching their relationship grow. It felt very real.
I also loved the side characters and can't wait for the rest of this series.

A++ for healthy and mature communication (after initial meet cute disaster bickering) and great care and kindness. Characters inspired by Benedick and Beatrice of sharp-witted, sharp-tongued Shakespeare fame are always a good idea in my book — bring on the banter that develops into a more in-depth understanding! And fake dating to get revenge on meddlesome friends is the BEST reason for fake dating. Especially in a close-knit group of meddlesome, competitive, regular-game-night, Friendsgiving kind of friends.
