Hahahahahaha! Love this! It’s like she’s calling herself out in it. So funny :)
Now on to my review…
This follow up book to Big Rock is about Spencer’s best friend Nick and Spencer’s sister Harper. We met both of them in Big Rock where an attraction between them was hinted at.
I liked them. I loved the beginning of the book the most but I felt like it grew weaker and got a little boring at the end.
One of the things I’ve noticed about Lauren Blakely books (this is my second by her) is that there is this doubt that the characters have about the feelings of the other person. They realize they have feelings beyond sex for the other person but fail to see the huge signals the other person is putting out that they feel the same. This was okay for one book but seeing as this seems to be part of her writing style I’m not loving the trend. So I’m not a big fan of the unnecessary internal turmoil over the other person’s feelings. It’s boring. Especially when their feelings are so obvious. But I guess since these are fluffy romances there is no other drama outside coming to terms with their relationship.
That being said, I do actually like that these are fluffy and light because it’s good to have these types of books in your back pocket after reading darker and grittier books and need a break and something lighter.
Other things I love about the book: smokin hot sex, dirty talk, relationship building, light humor and fun banter between the characters, the side characters, and overall light feel of the book.
I do stand by the fact that these would be much stronger books if they had dual POVs. The characters would be so much more dynamic and understood. They are still good but I think that’s the weakest thing about these books.
Also I was not a fan of Harper’s profession as a magician. It was just… lame. Sorry but it was. And their magic wand/cape sex play? Yeah…no. Who has those kinds of fantasies? Well, not me. Lol
Anyways…overall it was a fun book and I like having a new (to me) author that I like who writes these kind of light and fluffy books. I’m going to move back on to some books with more grit but will keep these on hand when I need to switch back to a lighter romance.

“Am I supposed to pretend it’s a date?”….“Like Spencer and Charlotte pretended?” she adds, as if I could forget their ruse, especially since it worked out in its own way—their wedding is in two weeks.
“No, that’d be lame if we did the same thing,” I say, digging into the chocolate for another bite. “That would be like if a romance writer used the same trope in the very next novel.”
