A wonderful book where two creatives are brought together by a crazy doggo. 
Strangers to lovers, second chance after strains on a relationship.  This book is so well written. The romance itself so wholesome. 
Dealing with themes of grief and also lying to protect others are dealt with alongside developing communication to be good together as a couple.  I love this book and would definitely reccomend

Another poignant story! This one balances the light the and heavy that comes with life. A hopeful story that unfolds about our FMC finding love after loss. 

In this book we get to see Sloan's character be fleshed out as well as meet Jason. Kristen continues to be a central character and I was happy to see her and peak into her life after her "happily ever after". Josh unfortunately sort of faded to a side character, I was hoping to get to know him better from the outside since their book really focused on Kristen. 

I enjoyed Sloan and Jason's character development and complicated and nuanced reactions to real relationship barriers (not everyone is a rockstar but jobs have been known to transfer people or require travel). 

This book got emotional reactions out of me such as- smiling, laughing, and crying.

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 opinion
He 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.
