DNFd at 33%. When are we going to stop slut shaming and making women hate women for no reason other than their sexuality?!?! It’s 2023… can we try something original for once? Also FMC is a pathological liar for no reason. Doesn’t make sense to me.

T.L. Swan is a master at balancing the tough, emotional moments with the lighter, funnier ones in her books. This is something that I really appreciate about her writing and she didn't disappoint in this latest book either. Henley, the main character, carries the weight of his past with him every single day like a shadow. It's extremely difficult for him to break free from his old habits and move on. Although he's a good man, he often finds himself too scared to act or say the right thing, which makes it hard for his new neighbor to get closer to him. She's a hopeless romantic and wears her heart on her sleeve. While she was occasionally irritating to me, overall I found her to be a major contributor to Henley's healing process.
One of the most heartwarming parts of the book is the relationship between Henley and his father. It's a tearjerker and my heart ached for them both. The book delivers a valuable message that you have to take care of yourself first in order to be a better version of yourself and to be an equal partner to someone else.
While there were a few scenes that felt repetitive or unnecessary, they didn't detract from the story.
I'm already excited for the next book in the series, especially Blake's story. He's funny, protective, and a huge womanizer, so I know it's going to be a wild ride. Although we don't know much about Antony, from what I've seen, he's definitely more than meets the eye. Liam is also an interesting character, and I can already envision his storyline. In fact, I've even paired him with a lady in my mind. I can't wait to see where the author takes the other characters as well. If you're a fan of romantic comedies that give you all the feels, then I highly recommend this book.
Themes to expect:
- grumpy/sunshine
- second chance
- enemies with benefits to lovers
- POV: dual
- secret relationship
- dirty talk
- forced proximity
- romcom
Quotes:
“ It’s as if my body was always his, as if he was always meant to be mine. He has this special ingredient. Every whispered word, every touch means so much more than it should. ”
“All I want to do is see her, to hold her in my arms and tell her that I missed her.”
