With the mixed reviews I really wasn’t sure how I’d feel, but I had a good time!!
While slightly morally grey, Lex is just a lonely boy looking for love.
William, we didn’t see really much character growth or personality but I think he loved Lex and had a slightly unhealthy obsession. Co-dependency am I right.
This series is definitely one you have to be in the mood for and not to take too seriously.

I loved Luke, I thought he was so so sweet.
Mildly nuts with just latching himself onto Elliot but this series is over the top and we got that
I appreciated the transgender representation. While it’s hard to say if done well, from my perspective as a cis woman, it seemed to be represented respectfully and with care.
That being said; Elliot frustrated me. He pushed Luke away a LOT and while I can sort of see why from being hurt in a past relationship, still isn’t fair to Luke

I think if I read this 10 years ago I would have felt different, but I did not enjoy either MC’s.
I appreciate and love the disability representation, but as a whole I did not vibe with the story.
I liked the authors voice but unfortunately not much else.

A cute enemies to lovers, neighbours romance.
I liked how Stone pushed Dare’s buttons with mostly harmless taunts.
Was it weird when he got a tattoo of a man’s dog when they weren’t even together? Sure. But that’s stone. He doesn’t beat bushes (IYKYK)

The spice was good, and the forbidden aspect was very hot.
Very limited character development, so I’m not sure if I see this couple lasting after the HEA and epilogue, but alas. Here for a good time not a long time.
A good time with a grumpy dominant cowboy with a filthy mouth.
I thought the drama between Colt and the neighbours was weird? It felt randomly placed, and was “oh ok this is happening”.

This was so fun!!!
It was cute and sweet, the spice was great.
It had excellent pining with the small bit of angst.
I absolutely loved it. The banter between both MC’s and their secret identities was fun. Then when they are revealed, it’s dramatic but I think once they got over themselves and we see them as partners it was sweet.
Keaton pined HARD for Luke, and I wanted just a BIT more of them as an established couple but overall enjoyed this immensely.

Oh this was so good. It was such a sweet, feel good romance.
I felt so warm, cozy, and happy while reading this.
I loved that Lucie wanted the magic and didn’t want to settle. I loved her unconventional family but her life is still full of love.
Aiden is a radio show host about love, but doesn’t really believe in it. He keeps his feelings at arms length to avoid getting hurt.
I thought the chemistry between Lucie and Aiden was so natural and so sweet. It had good banter, and was just so cute.
