Read this if you are looking for friends with benefits, he falls first, workplace dating (kinda?), witty banter, dual POV, hilarious side characters

Leave it to Lynn Painter to be my first 5 star read of the year 😍. This author can seriously do no wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever rated one of her books lower than a 4 star (seriously). Every character in the book is written flawlessly and even in the not so happy parts I was laughing at the way the two main characters talked to each other!

This book is about two wedding objectors who make it their job to break up weddings.. for good reason.. and maybe while doing so end up catching feelings? *not a spoiler it’s on the back of the book*

This book was funny, it was easy to read, it was a cozy fluffy romance, it had GREAT side characters, it had cats with ridiculous names.. I could go on and on but PLEASE do yourself a favour and read this book! 🥰

Read this book if you’re looking for: sports romance, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and found family
.
This book wasn’t the cute book I thought it was going to be. I was anticipating a book about a figure skater. So I thought cute, fluffy, rainbows and sunshine right? Not this book at all. Granted yes, the two main characters had their lovey little moments but MAN was it spicy 🌶️.

The book centres around a hockey team and a figure skating duo who are forced to share a rink. Not everything goes as planned and friendships are made …enemies are also developed. That said, I am looking forward to the next books in the series (shout out Henry the real MVP). 
The chapters were short for the most part and it was easy to read. I just didn’t find myself falling in love with the book or the characters as much as I thought I would.
