Despite my "no" answers above, I did enjoy this book (I tend not to finish books I'm not enjoying, so). There were some elements that kinda pissed me off but most of them got wrapped up nicely in the end. I still think Jason is a little too controlling/overbearing as a partner but I guess some people like that kind of thing. This was a fun read that probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.

I started this book with pretty low expectations but I was hooked from the first chapter. The story revolves around Sloan who’s fiancé died two years ago and Jason who is a famous musician. Jason’s lost dog jumps into the roof of her car and she spends two weeks trying to contact Jason to pick him up with no luck. Once she and Jason do get in contact they quickly begin to fall for each other.
I do agree that this is a fairytale romance (as in, this would never happen in real life), but I enjoyed it despite that. I liked seeing the growth Sloan had, their cheesy moments together, and I also really loved Kristen and Josh’s relationship with Sloan. The book is really fast paced in my opinionHe bought an engagement ring after only knowing her for a month and I felt like some of their relationship issues we’re stupid if I’m being honest (They definitely could’ve been solved quicker if they just stopped and thought things through). But overall this was a really cute and quick read and I would definitely read it again.
P.s. LISTEN TO THE SONGS WHILE YOU READ!!! It literally adds so much to the story and some of the songs fit so well. It makes the reading experience so much better :)

Don’t let the back cover scare you away! It’s a tender contemporary romance.
