Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for access to an e-arc of this title.
This is the third book in a series. However, as with a lot of romance series, it is interconnected standalone from what I can tell. I have not read the first two books in this series. 
I enjoyed this title. It is a fun and cute romance that is actually romantic and not just steamy. Although the steam is ok the romantic elements and the disability rep within well written characters is what I was really impressed with. Even after the slightly rough start to the book (I personally don't vibe with instant attraction or with meetings that don't seem like they would happen), I found the characters relatable, interesting, and sweet). I was rooting for them and enjoyed the interactions they had throughout the story. I don't always vibe with romantic scenes but I actually really enjoyed them in this because they seemed to fit the characters really well. I liked that they both had respect and built actual friendship within the romantic relationship. The disability rep I really appreciated overall too. It can be difficult to show disabilities within fiction, but apart from a little bit of telling and not showing, and forgetting to show the adaptations during sex, I really liked the disability rep. 
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO... readers that are looking for a fun and flirty romance, enjoys actual romance and friendship with some steam, Likes characters that you want to hang out with in real life.
