I did enjoy the overall topic, I have never read a dental themed romance and did enjoy the characters even if they were all very frustrating at times. I am looking forward to continuing the series.

This is my third time reading her work (I previously read Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake and Tilly in Technicolor as e-ARCs) and it's so delightful every time I read one of her works. I did enjoy going back to the book that started it all and I got to understand the characters from Eddings' A Brush with Love series in a new light (I know that sounds weird but I wasn't aware that Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake was the second book in a series when I got the e-ARC, so this is me catching up lol).
Also, the fact that she includes neurodivergent voices as leads in her books is so inspiring and really makes me feel seen in the romance genre as a #ActuallyAutistic book reviewer. I could relate to Harper so much in this book and I think Eddings does a great job with handling her anxiety in an accurate and respectful portrayal that readers can relate to. Plus, the fact of Dan dealing with his own mental health struggles while also being so sweet to Harper made my heart melt and root for them so hard in the book.
Overall, I love Eddings' work the more I read her work and I think you'll feel the same way too. If you're looking for a sweet rom-com that has more depth and emotion, I would definitely recommend this book.

I started this book because I wanted a sweet, easy rom com to read. I had no idea the main character had anxiety until I read the authors note in the beginning.
Without spoiling anything, I liked how this book showed how really hard anxiety is and how it really messes with your mind. How sometimes it can be all consuming and you end up not realizing what it’s doing in the moment. How hard it is to get help.
That said, I really liked this one. It was a sweet rom com. I would also like a Dan.
