I think if I read this 10 years ago I would have felt different, but I did not enjoy either MC’s.
I appreciate and love the disability representation, but as a whole I did not vibe with the story.
I liked the authors voice but unfortunately not much else.

A cute enemies to lovers, neighbours romance.
I liked how Stone pushed Dare’s buttons with mostly harmless taunts.
Was it weird when he got a tattoo of a man’s dog when they weren’t even together? Sure. But that’s stone. He doesn’t beat bushes (IYKYK)

The spice was good, and the forbidden aspect was very hot.
Very limited character development, so I’m not sure if I see this couple lasting after the HEA and epilogue, but alas. Here for a good time not a long time.
A good time with a grumpy dominant cowboy with a filthy mouth.
I thought the drama between Colt and the neighbours was weird? It felt randomly placed, and was “oh ok this is happening”.

This was so fun!!!
It was cute and sweet, the spice was great.
It had excellent pining with the small bit of angst.
I absolutely loved it. The banter between both MC’s and their secret identities was fun. Then when they are revealed, it’s dramatic but I think once they got over themselves and we see them as partners it was sweet.
Keaton pined HARD for Luke, and I wanted just a BIT more of them as an established couple but overall enjoyed this immensely.

Cutesy novella type short, with Blake’s POV from book 1.

Oh this was so good. It was such a sweet, feel good romance.
I felt so warm, cozy, and happy while reading this.
I loved that Lucie wanted the magic and didn’t want to settle. I loved her unconventional family but her life is still full of love.
Aiden is a radio show host about love, but doesn’t really believe in it. He keeps his feelings at arms length to avoid getting hurt.
I thought the chemistry between Lucie and Aiden was so natural and so sweet. It had good banter, and was just so cute.

Oop.
The first chapter called thick thighs “ear muffs” like 3 times, and gave me the ick.

Low angst, full of fluff and a hint of spice.
I liked the “later in life” aspect (30s and 40s)
It was cute and fun, but have read better! New to me author, I didn’t mind this book but I wasn’t blown away.
