Books like these are the reason why friends to lovers is my favorite trope - the pining, the obliviousness of the characters, the cute moments and the angst when something happens to the other and drama at the end caused because of stubbornness and misunderstanding. This is definitely a romance book set in a fantasy world and to be honest I looooved it. Sometimes fantasy books feels too much in a story and I need more romance, but here it was more of the opposite. This had a lot of romance and shenanigans and drama that I loved, but I wish we spend more time with the characters and saw more of the begining of the story and how they met and build up their friendships and the tension between the MC and his love interest. I feel like you can still see how close they are and how much they love each other just from this book (it applies to the whole party), and because I love them I really want a prequel now. I would love to read what happened before this and go on a adventure with these fun characters.

A really cute story. Nothing mind blowing  but it was cute and relaxing and that's with all of Meg Cabot books I have read now. The perfect books to relax to.

I loooovee this series. It was just so fun and wish it wasn't over. Well at least this book had more crime than the last one, but I would have liked to see more of the wedding preparation too. Over all it was a great book to listen to and relax to as always with this series, that's why I love it. It's funny, it's romantic, it's all woven so well with the crime elements.

I first read "The billionaire's wake-up call girl" which is the second boom in this billionaire series and enjoyed that one more than this, which makes senses for an author to improve with each book. Most Eligible Billionaire is an okay book, nothing groundbreaking. Even though this had a pretty intriguing summary, it felt so rushed and the characters wanted to fuck since the very beginning they saw each other. The drama was resolved nicely, but it was still predictable what will happen with the main characters. I do love the narrators of the audiobook thought.

Compared to the second and third books, this was a but more boring, but I still enjoyed it. I love Cooper and Heather and loved learning more about Tania and seeing a different side of her than what Heather thought of her before. I'm glad that Cooper used that gun of his in the end, it would have been a bit unsatisfying if he didn't after Heather was making it a point for the whole book. It was a great read. The whole series has been really fun and relaxing to listen to.

Okay I really enjoyed the book (even though there was another audiobook not from this series added at the back which was annoying and I skipped.) I loved the action and the connections with the other characters like how she was building up a relationship with her father, or the street's drug dealer, or Gavin who shows how she cares about the people living in her resident hall. Really sweet story even tho it is a murderer mystery. I really want her to be with Cooper so it was disappointing that nothing happened there, but oh well. Still a great read.

The book was a great read. There was quite the character development for both mcs, but it was a bit boring on the political part and they agreed really fast on the fake relationship for people who hated each other. Clay and Thom are cute together, but I feel like in the beginning it was a bit too much contrast from hating their guys, to starting to develop feelings. I liked it, but it wasn't the most page turning read.

Woooow okay this was sooo good. And not just good, it was amazing. It was definitely not what I was expecting. I thought it was a romance novel, which this has, but it turns out is more about Sky standing up against his bullies with his friends and learning more about his father. Such a wonderful story, I wish it was a serious. I would love to read more about the characters.

It is not the most innovative book, but I loved it. It's really cute, and put me in a good mood and I enjoyed it. It is predictable, but it is still a great book and if you want something sweet with fake relationship trope, this is great.
