It's a generous rating, too.
I hated it so much. It was so boring, I skimmed spicy scenes. It started out interesting but it grew boring real fast. Nothing was happening and the character's actions frustrated me.
I mean... We have a 34-year old man and a 30-year-old woman, making pinky promises every few chapters. What are they, five??? "Remember, pinky promise?" Come on. Be at least somewhat mature.
Then, there's that damn horoscope thing. She's so obsessed with it (all the sisters are) it's stupid. Then, HIS mother is trying to matchmake him with everyone she does and doesn't know and he doesn't even tell her to stop.
It was just so boring. Insta-lust isn't for me either. And don't get me started on serenading. Why. Just why, Chloe.
I disliked this book so much. The best part of it were just Christopher and Kate. That's it.
Tropes:
- fling / casual
- friends to lovers
- opposites attract
- grumpy & sunshine

That was a good book! Much better than the first one!
I love enemies to lovers! I love it! Especially when the guy is so obsessed with the girl he's losing it. I love it.
I melted when Christopher sent Kate flowers and the note. I loved how much he tried to fix everything between them as soon as he found out he really hurt her. "But you hate me" almost broke him and he decided to fix things. And he did.
I loved their anonymity and their bickering and how they overcame that. And I was very grateful there was no third-act breakup. Thank you for that. The ending of the first book was so stupid, the breakup was so forced, I was honestly dreading reading this book. I got to 60%, 70%, everything was happy and drama-free, I was afraid something would destroy it. And I'm happy that there wasn't any drama coming from their family about them being togteher.
I'm glad it stayed that way. I loved Christopher and Kate both separately and together. They were fun to read about. I loved how caring Christopher was towards Kate and that she finally accepted that.
I loved this book, and the only reason it's not full stars is that something was missing. I don't know what, maybe it was pacing, maybe I wanted more anonymity between them, more bickering (especially after they got together). Maybe I wanted more at the end, to see what Kate did after Jules came home, did she move in with Christopher or what.
Tropes:
- have known each other forever
- enemies to lovers
- boy obsessed
- retelling

I absolutely adored this book. It was both cozy and angsty, dramatic and wholesome.
Georgiana is so relatable when it comes to gay panic, she embodies it. I love her. I love her acting different roles to get what she wants, I love her fear and when she finally overcomes it. I love her desire to protect her family and her courage to reunite with them. She is everything.
Catriona. Cat. I absolutely adore her. I love how courageous she is, and how she loves in the light and doesn't let anyone shame her for it. I love how she stands with her convictions and believes in what's right. And I love how she inspires Georgiana to go after her desires.
The relationship was so wholesome, I loved them so much. I love how they complemented each other and both had their strengths and weaknesses but they both worked the best together. I loved their romance and their love and it was so good.
Their families were so good too! I loved Paula and Jem and Edith but it was Percy (and Ambrose) who stole my heart. I was so afraid they would push Georgie away like their father had done, but I'm so glad I was mistaken. I'm glad that Georgiana found acceptance in her family!
I loved this book, the gothic house in the background, the ghost, rose garden, mystery, intrigue, love. One of my favourites books I read this year.
Also, shoutout to my girl Iris, who always ends up helping the girls with one thing or another and is always down for scheming with them. She needs her own book too! I know the trilogy is over but perhaps a spin-off? With a certain Belvoir's owner's brother? Hmm?? I haven't imagined this, have I?
I loved this book and I'm so sad to see the Belvoir's world come to an end (unless we get a spin-off in the future? Perhaps? Please?). I loved this world and the characters and I'm going to miss them!
Tropes:
- enemies to lovers
- forced proximity
- work rivals to lovers
- opposites attract
- class difference
- forbidden relationship

I was so disappointed by this book. It started out great, I enjoyed it and I love a fake dating romance so I was excited for it. And then the couple got together at 70% and I knew there would eb a third-act-breakup. But I wasn't prepared for how stupid the reasoning would be and how much I'd hate the whole book and a relationship because of it.
But, first things first.
Bea is single, by choice. After her last toxic relationship, she's not ready for a new boyfriend. Cue her sister's machinations: setting her up on the blind date with Jamie, the guy Bea hates.
So Bea and Jamie hatch a plan: pretend to date to make their meddling friends invest in their relationship, and then stage a breakup so severe and painful that it would make their friends leave them alone.
And we all know where this is going, Jamie and Bea fall in love along the way and end up together. But, as much as I love Chloe Liese, she has this nasty habit of writing third-act breakups that make no sense.
Like this one.
Because Bea's twin sister, Jules, and her boyfriend, Jean-Claude, manipulated Bea and Jamie into dating. And then, when Juliet and Jean-Claude broke up, for some reason Bea thinks she can no longer date Jamie? Because her happiness will make her sister sad? So she BREAKS UP WITH JAMIE ALL TO STOP REMINING JULIET OF JEAN-CLAUDE. BUT, she of course tells him it's just a break... with no end date in sight. Which sounds just like a breakup to me. WHERE'S SENSE, WHERE'S LOGIC?
And THEN. THEN. Juliet's manipulations don't stop. Because "weeks later", the third sister Kate unexpectedly comes home, but Juliet leaves for Scotland! Without telling Bea, of course! And of course, Beatrice, who has NO spine, goes along with this with no protest or pushback.
But oh, wait, now that Jules's gone, Bea can date Jamei again! At least until Jules comes back. Because then, Bea will probably feel the need to protect her again so she'll break up with Jamie again... And he AGAIN will be the one to reach out and apologize. I hated this so much.
This entire conflict made me dislike Bea and her relationship with Jamie. I usually believe that romance books couples stay together forever, but not them. Not Jamie and Bea. She'll dump him soon enough for some reason or another.
I was going to read the entire series (I was excited for Christopher and Kate - I love enemies to lovers and enjoyed Taming of the Shrew) - but now I dread the third-act breakup of this couple. I know it will make me hate the book and the couple.
For once, I want the authors to stop using third-act breakup. If you need it to make the book interesting, then you can't write a couple being happy. If you must have a conflict, LET THEM TALK IT OUT LIKE ADULTS FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, STOP WITH THE MISCOMMUNICATION.

I was excited for this book but it was kind of frustrating and boring in the middle. I loved Rachel Lynn Solomon's books and I was hoping this one would be better but alas, it wasn't.
Shay and Dominic are both working on a public radio and they don't like each other much. When they have a chance to host a show together, there's one catch: they have to pretend they're exes who give relationship advice.
I liked the premise but I didn't like the execution much. I was entertained in the first 30% and then at the very end in the last 20% maybe? It picked up after the PodCon disaster. But tbh It was boring in the middle and I didn't care about their relationship or the story that much.
I disliked their boss since the beginning and it was frustrating to see Shay making herself smaller and accepting the misogynistic bs from him as if it was her due. And While it was interesting to see the reverse age gap, I was so over her calling Dominic a child and calling herself a millennial in every chapter while she bemoaned the age difference between her and Dominic. Is this something Americans are that obsessed with? The generations and "I'm a millenial, you're gen z, don't talk to me?" Really? Or it just this book?
The story was interesting, but I wish it were better.
Tropes:
- workplace romance
- fake relationship
- reverse age gap

Aaron, a politician who lost his job has one chance to revive his career after a stupid mistake cost him everything: to convince a powerful senator to give him a chance and hire him. He never expected his boss's daughter to turn his world upside down.
Grace, the black sheep of her family, has been through something traumatic that Aaron unintentionaly reminds her of. She knows she should keep away from him, but the way he looks at her? No chance of that happening.
This is the second book in the Romancing the Clarkson's series, and I enjoyed it less than the first one. It was still interesting and it was fun to get into Aaron's mind, but I preferred Rita's story.
As much as I love his relationship with Grace, I was more interested in his relationship with his brother. I'm glad to see that both of them started to repair their relationship but I wish we saw more of them. I guess I see more in Bel's book.
The spice was significantly less intense which is something I didn't expect, based on who Aaron was. But it was so good to see him try to be more than a politician, to be a person Grace believed he was, even when he didn't believe in himself.
I'm interested in the life he and Grace will lead. It's such a different pace to what he's used to, too, travelling and sleeping in a different place each night, never really putting down the roots or having a home? At least not in the next few years. I guess he'll like helping people though.
I can't wait to see Peggy's story and then, finally, Belmot and Sage's. And to see all of the siblings and their significant others reuinite in New York City.
Tropes:
- bad boy
- opposites attract
- workplace
- forbidden romance

I was so excited for this book but it disappointed me. I disliked Elliot and didn't enjoy their destructive relationship. I wasn't fan of him saying Our Father prayer every time he had sex with Peggy. And his devotion to Catholicism was almost fanatic, I wanted to shake hima nd yell "you're not a priest!".
Is this how Catholicism is likke in America? So glad I live in Europe if that's the case.
But then he started to grow and stopped using his religion as a crutch anymore and I was starting enjoying myself, what with Elliot and Peggy, Alice and Kyle... And then the ending. That damned ending.
1) I hate public love confessions and public proposals and this book had both.
and 2) I disliked that Peggy didn't say goodbye to her siblings and didn't say whether or not she would nbe in New York. Nothing, zero, zip, nada. They just left as if they couldn't wait until they ditch her.
And I disliked how Sage never actually answered Peggy's question about her or her family at all. Some friend that was.
All in all, this book was disappointing for me. Hopefully, the last one will be much better.
Tropes:
- forbidden relationship
- secret relationship
- second chance
- exes to lovers
- single parent
- sports romance

I'm disappointed by this book, honestly. I was so intrigued by Sage and Belmont's relationship since the first book but I was so over them. It was underwhelming but also outrageous at the same time.
I didn't like their relationship nor the plot. I'm so annoyed that Belmont went to work in the mines AGAIN after everything was already settled and solved?? How long did he work there, though? Did he come back after New York, or did he took Sage back to San Diego? Who knows, honestly.
And don't get me started on the epilogue pregnancy. Ugh I know where this was going since that horrible spicy scene. I'm sorry, I usually love Tessa's spicy scenes but this one was so horrible and cringe!
I was glad to see all siblins (and their significant others) back in the picture althought I was hoping for more Aaron and his rebuilding relationship with Belmont. I was disappointed to see only one phone call, I was hoping for more.
This is the end of the series. Damn, it started out so well, I loved Rita's book so much and Aaron's book was my second favourite but I disliked this book so much. It's at the very far bottom.
Tropes:
- forced proximity
- return to hometown
