Ah, Felix... <3 He is breaking my heart - just like I knew he would even before I started reading this story. But he turns out to be a wonderful - if deeply flawed - hero, and the connection he has with Jenna is just swoon-worthy. And then, there's Ty: Jenna's son and force majeure and stealer of hearts.

Since the book deals with some tough subjects like drug addiction, for example, this is not the book for you if you are looking for a lighthearted, fluffy rom-com. Yes, there is romance, and there are plenty of funny and lighthearted moments, but both Jenna and Felix have a lot of baggage to deal with, so there is angst and drama, too.

4.5/5 dang-it-you're-breaking-my-heart stars

I'm a sucker for the friends-to-lovers trope, and I really enjoyed Joss and Levi's story. I loved getting to know the Buchanan family and I'm looking forward to reading more about them!

This story started strong, and with the multiple points of view and the focus on the cops working this case, it reminded me a bit of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series.
As other reviewers have already pointed out, the ending felt a bit abrupt - personally, I would have liked to learn more about the motive, the specifics of the pattern each of the victims fit. Plus, as has also been pointed out by others, one of the supposedly smartest people we meet in this story does something absolutely stupid - and not even his wife tries to dissuade him from his harebrained scheme?

Overall, I'd rate this story 3.5/5 stars.

That being said, I enjoyed getting to know Peller and his colleagues, and I'd like to read more stories in the series.

Funny and punny!

There is so much going on, everyone and their uncle seems to be scheming, there are shenanigans galore, hilarity ensues. To be honest, at times it got a bit confusing and I had some difficulties to keep everyone and everything straight.

But it sure is an entertaining read, it made me smile a lot, sometimes laughing out loud, and it seems obvious that the author had a lot of fun writing this quirky romp.

I fell in love with Andie and Wyatt and have been waiting for their story ever since reading Elementary Romantic Calculus. My expectations were high - and Susannah Nix sure delivered! <3

One of Susannah Nix's (many) strenghts is creating complex, flawed characters that feel real - and that I more often than not can easily root for. In this case, it wasn't olny Andie and Wyatt who stole my heart (although I'll admit that I got a bit frustrated with Wyatt's chickening out and was frankly surprised at how easily Andie forgave him).
But I also loved that Mia and Josh got lots of "page time," and getting to know the King clan and witness their messed-up family dynamics was highly entertaining.

I can't (read: don't want to) wait for the next book in the series!

Oh, Luc...

And, while were' at it: Oh, Oliver... Honestly, I didn't expect to get all the feels over these two whose awkward is dialed up to 11. But it works. And it made me smile and swoon and laugh (and cry, dagnabbit - I really didn't expect that one).

What a great premise for a lovely - and at times ridiculous - story! I loved the characters, though I'll admit to loving Lily a bit more than Dash who could come across as a little condescending (but Boomer is his friend, so he can't be a all bad... ;) )

This was my first book by Kelly Siskind, and I simply loved the quirky characters! I am looking forward to reading more books in this series (book 2 is already on my TBR).

Sweet and cute rom-com with likeable characters. Definitely makes me want to read Madame Love, Actually which is already on my TBR. :)

This was a fun read, though not my favorite CL book. The writing was excellent as always, the humor a bit hit-or-miss for me (also par for the course), and I really liked the group of friends, especially Reid. Millie, on the other hand, was quite frustrating at times.

Disclaimer: I'm usually not a fan of "billionaire" books. But the blurb promised something more than the usual trope, and I was not disappointed.

The book was funny with plenty of laugh-out-loud (or snort-laugh) moments, hot, but also had an emotional depth I had not expected. Overall, I liked the characters, maybe Lizzie a bit more than Theo, and I appreciated the friendship Lizzie and Mia have.

One super minor thing that bugged me a bit is that Theo, apparent super genius, not for one single moment doubts that his wake-up-call girl must be young and attractive. I wonder how he'd reacted, if she'd turned out to be a sassy sixty-year-old grandma of twelve...

Daisy Prescott has a knack for writing quirky, endearing characters, and I really liked Daphne and Odin, plus,it was fun to (re)connect with the other rangers too.
I enjoyed the banter - both between the MCs, but also among the rangers - and some scenes had me grinning from ear to ear or even laughing out loud.

Looking forward to reading more books in this series!
