snaze6's review against another edition

A very enjoyable story about two characters who have each experienced tremendous emotional hurts and loss. Both Ben and Stef have a lot of emotional baggage to deal with before they can truly have a relationship. Each of them make an effort and make tremendous progress, but a sizable misunderstanding and leap to a false conclusion almost derails them. Thankfully several apologies and groveling occurs so a HEA is possible.
This was the first book I’ve read in this series; however I am a big fan of Elise’s work. Even though this is book 12 in the series I was able to enjoy this book with minimal confusion or spoilers because even though couples from previous books make appearances in this book at the friend gatherings their involvement is limited to a few conversations with Stef and later Ben.
I received an ARC from the author and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Elise did a fine job, as usual. Ben & Stef brought out the best in one another, except for the third act drama, but all was good by the end. Faber’s stories are my comfort zone. I bring them out on a bad day to smile & laugh, with a small amount of drama.

I love this series and I love seeing every new heroine we encounter find her HEA. This is Stef's story and it was oh so sweet! Stef hasn't had the greatest luck in love. Neither has Ben, as we eventually learn. These two swipe right on Tinder and form a match. But when Ben asks Stef for coffee she freaks out, thinking she's not good enough. I dislike when people think that. We are all worthy, we just need to find our people. Months later, a drunken message and it's like that freak out never happened. Though Stef still keeps one foot in and one foot out. That is where I loved Ben the most. He took all of Stef's insecurities and squashed them. He was perfect in that way. Stef I liked but I hated how she didn't think she was lovable. Everyone (but idiot Jeremy) kept showing her she was, she just refused to see it and that made me sad. And of course I can forget Fred and Sweetheart. Those two pups stole the show! These two deserved their HEA and I'm glad they got it!
