As per usual, Anyta did not disappoint with this sixth book. I loved the story, it felt very cliché as the lonely man went to a small town for three weeks and met his attractive neighbor but it was exactly what I needed. The characters were lovely and I could feel myself getting attached to them, the relationship between Jason and Owen (add in Mary) was funny and had me smiling to myself. Overall, this book is a very nice and cozy light-hearted rom-com that I can confidently recommend to anyone who's seeking this sort of romance.
I am thinking that we are to meet with Carl again

If this is to be the final book in this fantastic series, Anyta Sunday gives it everything she has and goes out with a bang! Readers who enjoy fake boyfriend, twin swap, or opposites attract tropes will absolutely love this fun, entertaining, slow burn romance.
Brokenhearted Jason jumps at the chance to live another life in a tiny Australian town when his equally brokenhearted twin asks him to trade places for a few weeks. Pretending is the name of the game, and he understands the mission. That is, until he meets his intriguing new neighbor Owen Stirling and all the rules are out the window. Suddenly Jason finds himself pretending to be much more than just his long lost twin…or is he really even pretending at all?
Sunday pens a story full of witty banter and subtle - or not so subtle - innuendo, often with hilarious consequences. Jason’s adorably clueless nature reminded me a bit of Theo from Leo Loves Aries; his lack of awareness often results in entertaining misunderstandings and occasionally moments with seriously heavy undertones. The connection between Jason and Owen is undeniable and at times indescribable, but also inevitable, despite Jason’s insistence that his arrangement is temporary and he will be returning home.
I was a bit conflicted going into this one if I’m being honest. Not because I was worried I’d be disappointed, but because I was anxious to read the conclusion to this perfect series and a little bit sad to see it come to an end. Signs of Love has been the best and most delightful find; I was excited to discover it at a time when everything I read in this genre seemed a bit repetitive - rinse and repeat, if you know what I mean. This series was like a breath of fresh air with its quirky, lovable characters, witty repartee and easy to read style. Its lightheartedness is balanced by an unexpected emotional depth. And then there’s the slow burn — a smoldering heat so delicious it makes you want to nestle right up close at the risk of being burned. In a nutshell, it’s perfect and I highly recommend it.

Okay, this book was definitely worth the wait - a magnificent ending to this series! I fell completely and head-over-heels in love with Owen and Jason (did I mention the mistaken-identity trope is one of my all time favorites?).
This will be a comfort read for a long time to come. A beautiful story, sometimes a bit over the top, but I just had the most wonderful time reading it.
Objectively, 4.75 stars - but because of all its warmth and love: 5.

So swoony.
Firstly, yay for a book set in a small town in Tasmania!
Secondly, um, Sergeant Owen Sterling Sir, yes please.
This is an adorable, secret identity, bi awakening story where the narrative MC is completely clueless and half the time you want to squish his cheeks and the other half of the time you want to shake him.
It's got everything I love about previous books in this series, but more special because Tasmania and also because I'm a Sagittarian, so it's like this was written just for me.
I was lucky enough to beta and arc read for this book, but I promise this is an honest review.

Jason and Owen had such good chemistry together; I especially enjoyed the banter between them. I also laughed out loud a few times. Overall, a very cute, funny and heartwarming story.
