☆ workplace romance
☆ forbidden romance
☆ he falls first
This has been one of my most anticipated books of the year and it went beyond my expectations. I absolutely loved this.
I think this may be my favourite of all of Ali’s books.
I adore Rue and Eli as a couple. Their chemistry is fantastic and I love that they actually talk things through like adults.
They act their age which is something that I really need in a book.
I’m 30. I can’t enjoy something if the characters, that are around my age, are acting like they’re in high school.
Rue was extremely relatable to me. Terrible brother and likes to be alone.
Eli was kind and sweet and called people out for saying ‘girl’ instead of ‘woman’ which I LOVED!

☆ age gap
Hazel and Jareth instantly had chemistry and I wanted them together so bad!
Very fun read. It had great spice and a little mystery thrown in there.
Some parts felt a little long but I enjoyed the characters so it wasn’t too hard to get through.
Can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

☆ He falls first
☆ Small town romance
☆ Hot librarian
☆ Fresh start
This book was everything I wanted! I’ve been struggling to find a book to get into lately and this one cured me. Finished it in a day and absolutely loved it.
I loved every single character and the chemistry between Jo and Felix is so, so good.
Pacing was great, the side characters were all very fun and likeable and there was a perfect amount of spice.
I really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

☆ Single dad/nanny
☆ Forced proximity
☆ He falls first
☆ Hockey romance
☆ Opposites attract
I have been dying to read this book since I read Fangirl Down a few months ago.
I instantly fell in love with Burgess and Tallulah in that book and desperately wanted to read their story.
I read this book so fast. I didn’t want to stop. From page one I was in it and just needed to know what happened next.
Super fun story and relatable characters. I really hope we’ll be getting Sig’s story next!
