I love Tessa Bailey's writing style, her characters and her tik tok, lol.

This book was exactly what I wanted. Read in three sitting, over a day, it was engaging, good banter, great character and the perfect balance of sweet and spice for me.

This was a good addition to the Meet Cute series. I wasn't sure I was going to like it at the start - I find Sally Thorne can sometimes make her main characters sort of – pathetic – too much poor me, and just poor, and too many disasters in their life. However even though this main character has issues, she was well rounded, with great conversation with the MMC.

I felt even with the short length, that I got a full story and lots of fun flirty banter.

3.75 rounded up.

The spice may not be for everyone, as there is a lot of MM, and MMF action, however it was a great read for me.

I found the plot in this one to be more action packed than the first two books. I enjoyed the story and found myself wondering how everything would turn out.

Are they awarding winning literature, probably not, but for me, they are the perfect mix of romance, action and spice, and I like the Greek mythology meets modern day convenience setting.

Nice paired down version of the Sutras. Explained very well and great references to day to day life. I really appreciate the journalling cues at the end of each section. Really helps put things in perspective.

A very scientific look at food and emotions. As someone that doesn't really enjoy similar books, I found this one extremely interesting.

Stayed up too late reading

This was another win in the Improbably Meet Cute collection. I loved the story and the back and forth. The way it was written was engaging.

All the characters are great and you get to know them quite a bit, which is surprising given the length of the book.

This one did feel a little more rushed then Book 1, but I still loved it.

I loved this short story!

This was so captivating and sweet and it's the love story I wanted and needed. It loved how it was written and I felt like I got a complete and wonderful story that didn't feel rushed, even though it's not a long book

3.75 rounded up.

I enjoyed this book, which I read and listened to. Both versions are good.

I found myself enjoying the story and the characters.

I am very excited Carrie Soto has her own book, cause as a side character, she was wonderful and I want to read her story.

This isn't for you if you don't like dual timelines, but I enjoy that once in awhile.

3.5 rounded down.

Easy read, fun witchy element.

Characters were likeable, plot was fun.

So... Another one that isn't my typical genre, however I loved it.

I highly recommend the audiobook version. It's a full cast and it's even more vibrant than reading it.

3.75 rounded up.

This book was different than my regular reading, but the story was engaging and it was a fun read. I did feel like there were maybe a few too many strings weaving together the story, but it was written in a way that was easy to follow and enjoyable.

Nice easy beach read.

Not as good as “love and other words” but much better than “every summer after”.

Best friends, young love, second chance romance.

So, I wanted to love this, but I think I have issues with YA romance.

I also thought the lives of the main characters were way more ambitious then any teen in the world. It was Teens with more jobs and responsibilities then any adults I know.

I did enjoy the happy and heartfelt family relationships.

2.5 stars rounded down.

Well... After reading my ACOTAR boxed set, I would give the whole series 4 stars.

I liked a lot of the characters, the world was set up nicely. I like the courts.

What I didn't like was book 3.5. I thought that was useless overall.

In ACOSF, I liked that there was a shift in the main characters, however the parts of the story I liked best seemed rushed, and the parts I didn't enjoy were drug out.

Also. The book is just too long. There is no need of that.

That doesn't sound like a 4 star review, however, I have to give it credit for making me feel engaged enough to read it to the end.

I found this useless filler.

I was so excited for the multiple points of view, but I just found this short book to feel so long and unnecessary.

This was what I have come to expect from a Jasmine Guillory book.

Strong FMC who is career driven, great spice, and a happy ending.

I did not enjoy this book as much as “The Wedding Date” series. I found the characters in those books more humours and likeable. Not that these characters weren't likeable, I just didn't find it as strong as previous books

I enjoyed this book. And although I knew where it was going, the ride to get there was entertaining.

Could it have been shorter, yes.
Was it annoying long, no.

There was decent banter. None of the characters were overly annoying. I love an enemies to lovers. It is very STEM.

I DNF'd this book.

This is a “cozy” mystery, and I wanted to love it, but I just didn't connect. I don't think it is any fault of the writer or the story, I think I'm just learning the cozy mysteries aren't really my thing.

I DNF'd this book.

I read the first three in this series, and although I didn't love them, I was able to get through them all and enjoy them. But this reimagining of Aladdin was not for me.

This was fine for me.

I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. It just... Was.

I wanted to love this book.

I love books, I love vampires and I love the south, however. This didn't hit right for me.

I loathed every male characters and I couldn't fully fall in love with the female ones.


I like the idea of the plot however. I think it was too long and could have been 50 to 100 pages shorter and still gotten in all of the high points.

I didn't have any expectations for this book that I got on a Stuff Your Kindle day, but I enjoyed it very much.

The banter was good, the spice was great and it was fake dating done right.

A solid 3.5 rounded down.

I think I would have liked this better without the attempt to tie in the wizard of oz, however, this is the best book in the series for me so far.

The spice was good. The characters were more likeable than I expected them to be.

I do think I am learning that I don't love my romance and my darkness in the same books. A gang/mafia story or some type of romance, but I don't really find the killing in these types of books... Sexy or entertaining.

I enjoyed this book. It is a 3.5, rounded down.

I had figured out a few things early, and found it a little long and ... Like certain things were drug out.

But the overall story is good, and there are twist that will surprise a lot of people I think.

I didn't enjoy this book, and I am trying to decide why.

I think it tried to do too much, making things feel rushed or unfinished, at the same time being too redundant.

There wasn't a single character that I liked, besides Layla.
