This was a great addition to the series I just loved Libby she was a fantastic character I enjoyed getting to know her and just loved the love/hate relationship between her and Antonio it was great watching him realise the mistakes he had made about Libby and while he did get better he still had some work to do by the end of the book. This was a really cute read and I would recommend it
I loved Libby’s happily ever after with Antonio. It was perfect and sweet and played out like any good romantic movie. Libby the bargain designer label hunter falling for Antonio, the strong and brooding firefighter was magical. Aurora Rose Reynolds has done an amazing job with this series and has quickly become one that I will re-read often.

She’s a sweetheart who jumps in to help her favorite pizza restaurant when the owner has a heart attack. Secretly crushing on the owner’s son for years, even though he is indifferent towards her, she keeps showing up. One day he notices her and the restaurant starts running better.
She’s lost as to what she wants to do with her life and he, a firefighter, wants nothing to do with the restaurant that his dad is now selling.

Loved this one! Aurora has done it again! I have been dying to read Libby's story since Levi and Fawn's story. Antonio was a jerk with a chip on his shoulder, but honestly that's one of the things I love about Aurora's characters. They are RELATABLE, or at least in my opinion. I personally do think that Libby and Antonio's story was a great one that I look forward to reading a thousand more times.

Tossed Into Love is the third book of the Fluke My Life series. I have not read the first two books in the series, but I figured I would give this a try anyway. I had some issues in the beginning because most of plot and relationship between the two main characters was set up in the previous books, so I took that into consideration when writing this review and giving a rating.
I didn't understand the attraction between Antonio and Libby. I felt like it was insta-lovey (but it was noted that both characters had interactions earlier in the series), and it was very confusing. Antonio hated her, but then didn't? And Libby couldn't make up her mind if he hated her or liked her, and whether he was being a jerk or being sweet. I wasn't able to connect with either character or root for their relationship at all because I wasn't sure if there even was a relationship I should have been rooting for. It was way too hot and cold for my taste.
Also, Miss Ina. I felt like she detracted a lot from the story, and really didn't understand why she felt like she needed to help Libby "keep her virtue intact". Is she just a cranky old woman who thinks the world still operates like it did in 1800s? Who knows.
The best part of the book for me was Pool. Cats and kittens win everytime.
Overall, not my favorite read, mostly because I was confused for half of the book on why Libby was so wishy washy on whether or not she liked Antonio because he was a jerk/he wasn't a jerk...and so on and so forth. I didn't feel like there was a point to the relationship because I never saw any connection past the physical. They fell in love because....why? If Libby and Antonio had more of a friendship to begin with and less of a "does he hate me does he love me" theme going on, this would have been a much more solid story and the relationship between the two would have been something to cheer for.
