2/5 ⭐️
I didn’t really care for either of the characters and found their entire relationship incredibly frustrating. The relationship just felt immature and for characters in their 30s, it was just annoying. Oliver annoyed me, but then again so did Chloe. The book was full of some of my favorite tropes (childhood friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, etc) but it just fell short.

On positive side it was fast read and that is all positive from me. She forgive too fast and in end I didn't like Oliver nor Chole.

The second book of Cloverleigh Farms is about Chloe and Oliver, childhood friends and their mothers are best friends. The thing here is that they love-hate each other. I liked the dynamic between them and the way they end up together even though they don’t want to accept that they are attracted to each other. I didn’t liked the fact that their story got rushed, especially in the end. I understand that Chloe has a way of doing things without thinking when it comes to Oliver, but it was too rushed.
Overall it was a good lecture, I enjoyed the way they were daring each other. I would’ve liked to see more interaction with other characters. I loved Grams, she was the one character with her head straight.⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ stars and I’m not going to explain it.

The premise of this book did sound amazing. I mean, it doesn't get much better than childhood friends, to enemies, to lovers... But the characters were unbearable.
The MMC is supposed to be in his 30s but acts like an irresponsible teenager, and the MFC never stands up for herself and keeps forgiving the guy when his justification for his immature actions is never good enough.
I thought the story would get better eventually, but the characters keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
I can't stand them or this book anymore, so I'm giving up.

3.5 stars. Cute but not my fave. I feel like forgiveness came far too easily for Oliver. But I would love to read all about Gran’s youth and courtship with her late husband. She’s a firecracker.

I wanted to like this book so badly, because I love romances that involve a shot at being childhood sweethearts. I love a good friends to lovers story, and this being a second-chance romance was something I looked forward to.
My issues with this book were that it’s slow, and it dragged out. Especially when it took Oliver to tell Chloe the truth, all those times I was mentally saying to myself “Dude spit it out”. I love any books that involve fake dating and marriage of convenience, and it really disappointed me on how the story flow was written.
Also, I didn’t see Oliver as bad as he was painted to be but I did hate that he never could apologize to Chloe for all the things he did to her even in the past. I wish he was written to own up to his mistakes than just him saying it was out of immaturitt and irresponsibility. However, I related more to him than I did with Chloe; I found her “Now” chapters to be bland.
Lastly, Chloe was supposed to be strong but impulsive, but I never really saw her as strong. She easily forgave Oliver, and was gullible for most of the time, if it was to paint a romantic notion where “I’m always strong but when it comes to Oliver...” it didn’t come across that way. She felt like a push-over and I wish she was written differently — Frannie was stronger than her back in Irresistible.
I will continue on with the other books, I’m really hoping the others don’t disappoint. I’m sad that I didn’t enjoy this book.
