 What a great start to a new series! Loving Romeo is an opposite sides of the track romance with some enemies to lovers in the mix, which is a favorite romance trope for me. Romeo and Demi are such great characters that I was drawn in and rooting for them from the start.

When I open a book by Laura Pavlov I know I can count on a story to get lost in and characters who practically leap off the page. She does not disappoint with this one, and I couldn't get enough of Romeo and Demi and Romeo's found family. There's a lot going on in the small town of Magnolia Falls, and not all of it is good, so we get a few antagonists to get us all worked up and ready to jump in the fray.

I'll leave it there so I don't spoil anything because this is one that should be read spoiler-free. That way, each reader can fall in love with Romeo and his inner circle, as well as Demi, who fits in better than you'd expect. I definitely recommend Loving Romeo, and I can't wait to see what's next for Magnolia Falls.
