It was the perfect Rom-Com with some verrry serious parts and some mysteries and surprises. I LOVED IT! Charlotte manages to inviegele into his life and just gets comfortable. Their cat and mouse verbal sparring gets the tension palpably high and chemistry sizzling in NO time. I will never understand how someone wouldn’t accept even limited quality time with the person they love over none at all. Then again, it’s not love if you could walk away from someone. He's arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, he's my new boss. But that's not going to stop me from discovering the story behind his last love letter. A love letter that did not result in a happily ever after. I’d joked about Charlotte Darling and her pixie dust. There was always something magical about her, the way she’d just appeared in my life and turned it upside down.

Overall Opinion: I have mixed feelings with this one. Overall, I definitely enjoyed it more than I didn't. I enjoyed their banter, and I found myself laughing out loud a few times. I also enjoyed their deeper conversations and the overall message the story brought. But, I felt a disconnect in the physical connection and the emotional connection. I might be totally off here -- but it felt like two authors wrote it in a way that the emotional stuff was one's voice and the sexual/physical stuff was another's. It was such a slow burn, and then it seemed to switch gears and it felt too abrupt. I'm probably not making much sense here 🤦🏻‍♀️ but I think what I'm getting at is that it just felt odd. It didn't seem to go smoothly with the rest of the content. I get that it was an impulsive scene, but I don't think that was it either. Who knows what I'm poorly trying to communicate -- it just felt off 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also didn't like that their conflict was resolved, we got a ton of mushy dialogue with the H's complete 180 (which isn't my favorite), and then thrown into the epilogue. While I loved the epilogue and I felt like that gave us some good closure, I wanted more of them trying to be an actual couple and experiencing what that looked like.

Maybe Stan can work on getting a sensitivity chip installed into your grandson. He seems to be missing one.”

Luca: I have a nice collection of vibrators—the LELO INA Wave rabbit being my favorite. It gives dual internal and external stimulation. Charlotte is a very sweet character but her over-the-top optimism didn’t seem to be real. Is anyone -could anyone - be like her, so forgiving and so caring? So damn cheerful and energetic all the time? I really don’t think so. She was a modern Pollyanna. I didn’t like it when it was her who asked him out for a date and he rejected. I didn’t like it when she tried to seduce him by getting naked and he still rejected. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.” From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story that started with a boy and girl and heats up when the man and woman reconnect.This was a fun book. Charlotte was a great characters, she is quirky, spontaneous and pretty blunt. Reed is your typical brooding rich guy who has baggage and a nasty Ex. I like that Charlotte brings out the best in Reed and helps him because spontaneous and fun. Reed's Grandmother Iris was my favorite thing about this book, she was nosy and pushy and made me laugh more than once. If your looking for fun romance with some drama and a HEA, this book might be for you.
