Overall, this was a fun take on Beauty and the Beast - though, to be honest, I thought Beau started out more like a Gaston than a beauty, while Grace was both (inner) beauty and (outer) “beast” all rolled into one.

But, reading this story, I kept wondering how any of us ever made it through high school. I mean… oof.

On an absolutely personal note (your mileage will definitely vary): I may be jaded, but I found both Grace and especially her mother at times a bit too preachy for my liking. I would have liked the message to be a bit clearer on the aspect that it’s totally okay to not always be okay with the unfairness of life. You can’t control everything that is happening to you, and sometimes life - and other people - just suck. And it’s perfectly fine to acknowledge that. You don’t always …

Entertaining story with plenty of banter. :) This was a fun introduction to a new-to-me author, and I would very much like toknow how the story continues for Ben and his space posse.

(On the technical side: The version I read could have used a bit more proofreading TLC. YMMV.)

Adorable and swoony!

Miles is my kind of hero - bookish, smart, kind, and absolutely head over heels for his best friend - and not afraid to stand up for her. I am a sucker for a good friends-to-more story, and I was rooting for Georgia and Miles from the get-go!

The slow-burn romance was delicious (the kisses! the letters! ugh!), Georgia and Miles were just adorable together, and their quirky group of friends brought plenty of banter and laughs. The story was equally sweet and swoony with a little snark, and I had this huge goofy grin on my face from start to finish.

The Queen of Feels strikes again!

Heidi Hutchinson has a knack for hitting me smack-dab in ALL the feels.
Every.
Single.
Time.

From the very first page to the final HEA, Write or Wrong took me on an emotional roller coaster, running the gamut from anxious nailbiting to sniggering, to crying, to swooning, to laughing, to happy-sighing, and yes, tthere may have been a couple more tears along the way.

I adored Zara and kept rooting for Asa, even - and especially - when he was being extra Asa-ish, and seeing these two connect and fall in love was just beautiful. chef’s kiss

Visiting with XY Records family is always a treat, and I’m happy to see this family growing with every book. More, please?

Kept me reading way past my bedtime!

After reading the prequel Smoke on the Water and falling in love with Hatterwick and its people, this first story of one of the “Wayward Sons” totally hit the mark for me. Willa and Sawyer were two strong protagonists, and I loved how quickly they both were invested in turning their marriage of convenience into the real thing. The romance and suspense story arcs were interwoven seamlessly and kept me on the edge of my seat (and up reading way past my bedtime…).

I’ve become a huge fan of the Wayward Sons' extended found family and can’t wait for the next in the series!

I loved it!

Am I biased? Of course I am: I've loved the previous two books in the series, and I've had a soft spot for Brandon Nix since that stunt he and his partner-in-crime Landon pulled in book #2.
He and Andi may not be perfect (and I love them all the more for that!), but they turn out to be just perfect for each other. Chef's kiss

Welcome to Maple Falls!

Whitney Dineen made it easy for me to fall in love with the small town of Maple Falls and its inhabitants and guests alike, but espeacially with Ellie and Zach. This sweet rom-com might be a bit insta-lovey, but I adored how easily Zach fit into Ellie’s (and her mom’s!) life and how Ellie struggled to keep him at arm’s length. I enjoyed this sweet romance a lot, and while it can be read as a standalone, it’s also a nice setup for more Maple Falls stories. Can’t wait for the next one!
