I ate this book up just like the others. David is a neat freak and isa is a hurricane it’s a match made in heaven. They balance each other out perfectly and i love seeing the way he is able to let himself loose around her. They understand and respect each other. He let her go to pursue her dreams and he almost went crazy. Gotta love that. And he’s rich. Also I’m just obsessed with David’s family dynamics and the bet with brooks is going to make such an interesting book. Overall such a cute book would def recommend.

Quotes:

“You know, this is all so adventurous of you. I never thought you’d leave your home.” I look into her eyes fervently, so she knows what I’m about to say is serious. She stills and meets my gaze. “Isa, you’re my home now. You’ve helped me discover that there’s value in spontaneity… in fact, I think it’s been good for me.”

“Day six of the break: my yard looks boring without flamingos. Day seven of the break: food has lost its taste… the sun has lost its warmth. Day eight of the break: my house is lonely, I’m considering getting a cat. Day nine of the break: I met with a client today and he told me I look like a love-sick puppy. Day ten of the break: I can't live without Isabella Romero.”
