I fell headfirst into this book, and I fell hard. I forgot what day it was—genuinely—and missed my therapy appointment. Didn’t realize I missed therapy until about 10 minutes after finishing the book. This book made me giddy and happy for Rafe and Sloan. It earns all the stars! So good!

"Thank god. A guy that fine being a bad kisser would have been criminally unjust."
First of all, I agree! 💯😌😂😂
I liked Xeni's story a lot more even though this book came out before hers. Lol. This was steamy and funny and all sorts of cute. I gave it 3.5 stars because I feel like it could have given more. That's my very biased opinion.

This book tells the story of the life I want to live my god. Sloan is the woman I wish I could be and Rafe is the man of my dreams. I have never wanted to read a book immediately after finishing it but I'm ready to clear my schedule and re-read this. I think this is my favorite romcom of all time and the more I think about it, the more I love it.

Complete and utter fantasy/wish fulfillment and I loved it. A man who is sweet and gentle, loves kids, takes care of a huge portion of domestic stuff AND is totally up front about his feelings and communicates well?? Yes. Please. Plus our leading lady is a heart surgeon at the top of her game who leans on her friends and stands up for herself.
I also liked that the two main characters just followed their feelings and the conflict in the story came from external sources. Sometimes I don't want the angst that comes with a romance story, and found this refreshing. That being said, I don't think either character had any flaws?? Which conversely made things feel a little too easy and unrealistic/unrelatable; I wish there'd been a bit more character and relationship development.
The version I read also had a good handful of mistypes and extra or missing words. And the steamy scenes were...fine? I've read way more interesting sex scenes from other authors AND from Weatherspoon herself. Lastly, there were a number of moments when we would be introduced to a bunch of side characters all at once with no real distinguishing features between them, and I had a hard time keeping names/characters straight when they would come up later.
BUT overall this was delightful fluff.
