I loved my time with this book. It felt like a warm hug at the end of a bad day. Really enjoyed this read.

This was so cute! After thinking on it a few days I did lower the rating a tad. Only because it felt a bit insta loveish for me, at least on Esme’s part. But I had a fun time reading this!

Well it was enjoyable but... i just cant buy that the heroine loves the hero for real. At the end she was willing to mary his brother just to prove a point. She claimed that she loved the hero but didn't even bother to lookup what Autism is. But otherwise okay

I didn’t like this one as much as #1 and #3. Mostly just the fact that she lied about her kid the whole time. But I did still love the neurodivergence rep and I loved Esme and Kai’s story overall. Just didn’t hit as hard as the other two! 

Overall I’d definitely love more friendship representation in her books, but again the romance and family aspects were pretty spot on!

Such a good author I’d pick up anything she writes honestly. She’s definitely won me over.
