I have to say, this review isn't the best, I can't do this book justice, nothing I write could begin to express how much I loved it, how much it meant to me to spend time with these characters. It's beautiful.

I loved Three Blind Dates, loved it, however, this book, this book is better. Yep, I said it, the second book in the series is better than the first. GASP! Insert shocked face here It's a complete standalone. Meghan Quinn takes a funny storyline and makes it so much more. The way this book is written makes it so special. I expected the humour, I didn't expect the emotional connection. This is a romantic comedy, it's hilarious, I'm talking laugh out loud funny, what I didn't expect was to cry, and by cry, I mean sob. Why you ask? Without going into too much detail... because, spoilers, it's because I can relate to Rylee and what her thought process and feelings are so much that it's just instinctual to cry - for her, for what she's going through and for myself. More often than not a subject comes up in a book and a quick fix is used to get the couple their HEA, that wasn't the case here, Meghan went and in just a paragraph, maybe two, showed the obstacles and restrictions they would come across and I adored that, it was real. She didn't just give them the HEA without showing the difficulties it could and would involve, but, before you hit those panic buttons, it does include a HEA.

We first met Beck Wilder in Three Blind Dates, he was The Rebel. Although I liked him well enough, he wasn't my choice in that book. Clearly, I knew he was destined for bigger and better things. He is perfect for Rylee and she was perfect for him. He's sexy and funny, he's sweet and endearing. I dare you not to swoon over him. He was just, sigh, he was lovely. The final few chapters just, wow, it was a swoonfest. His outlook on life is refreshing and made for an interesting backdrop to the storyline, his backstory was eluded to but took time to come to light, I really liked that about it, and once it did, his insecurity over telling Rylee was an important part of the story. Rylee Ryan was such a fantastic character, I think so many people are going to be able to relate to her. At one particular part I was sobbing and shouting ‘I see you and I hear you and I feel you. I GET IT!!!' of course, as more details came to light it was different, it became something more than even I thought it would, it was heart-breaking. She is brave, sweet and funny. Beautiful, and strong. She's the type of person you can imagine being friends with.

Their story is one of beauty. It's funny and sexy, and sweet and full of acceptance and understanding. It's also heart-breaking and uplifting. It filled my heart with happiness and I didn't want it to end. I loved that is was more of a slow burn and we really got to experience their relationship change and grow as time went on. The banter between Beck and Rylee was pure perfection, it worked really well and fit the characters perfectly. The sexual tension between them was palpable and made it even sexier when they finally did get together, steam level – off the charts. I liked that the conflict between them didn't last too long, and it wasn't drawn out. It had its place and good reasoning, it wasn't just for the sake of it. The supporting characters in this book are wonderful, honestly, I want books for all of them. I want more from Victoria, from Griffin, I want Chris and Justine's story, I want Zoey and Art's story. They're the greatest friends a person could really ask for, I'm kinda jealous. They were all so meaningful and memorable that you can't help but wonder what their stories would be.
