Gosh, I loved this book. Levi was the perfect blend of alpha and sweet. While Fawn was the perfect blend of tough and lovable. together these two steamed up the sheets, which their explosive chemistry, witty conversation and heartfelt emotion. I'm not sure it can get much better than this, but I'd sure love Ms. Aurora Rose Reynolds to try, because this cast of characters has surely weedled their way in my heart and I can't wait for more from them!

1 <b> muffin </b> star

got an arc in September then my life decided to give me no free time until December
So now that I have the time o decided let's get caught up. I'm sad to say I did not enjoy this book at all. It was very predictable, no real problem, instalove and overly cheesy. Every fee sentences was "babe" or "my crazy family ". Their family members were fun and quirky but our main characters were flat and embarrasing. I spent the first 50% waiting for something to suck me in then the next half skimming and realizing you really don't miss much this book can be a lot shorter and maybe it would make it better.

Book Review- Running into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Fawn runs into Levi literally knocking them both down. She is very sassy towards him after the fact and he walks away before he does something he might regret. He’s not sure whether it would be choking her or kissing her. Fawn thinks he is a bit of a jerk and is glad to never see him again. Her instant attraction to him made her uncomfortable.
Of course fate decides to play a bit with her life. Levi is now her new neighbor. Levi was instantly drawn to her and uses being her neighbor to his advantage. Fawn is embarrassed when she is around him and tries to avoid him. She does build up enough nerve to knock on his door for her birthday until she sees an unknown female in front of his door. She shouldn’t be surprised. She is far from perfect and knows that Levi wouldn’t pick her over someone like that.
Levi comes to her. He wants her but knows she is unsure. He is willing to wait for her though. However things get crazy when both families get involved. Both Levi and Fawn have to find their way when work, family and old flames interfere.
I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. Levi was completely sigh-worthy. He constantly called her baby which endeared him to me. Every woman needs a man like him in her life. Fawn was lucky in that aspect.
Fawn, herself, was a great person. She was far from perfect but had a huge heart. The situations the author places her in are mostly humorous. How they met was awesome and quickly pulls you into the story. Her reactions are classic. I liked her instantly. Fawn came across as a realistic person with insecurities. She was relatable. I found it refreshing for her to stumble along a little unsure while Levi was there to catch her. He was completely sure and waited for her to figure things out. This story was sweet and the love scenes were just hot enough but allowed for you own imagination to picture it. I loved the pairing and the whole storyline. I give it a 5 out of 5.

This was a lovely cute romance about neighbors turned lovers. Fawn and Levi have a believable romance. The characters are cute and I love the family relationships. I look forward to the next book in series.

Endearing and incredibly sweet, I liked it! Levi and Fawn was such a great couple, I swooned a couple of times but mostly it made me smile.

A strong hint of sexiness and hotness, a little of sugary sweet, an alpha guy with a big heart, too charming for his own good, very patient when it comes to his new neighbor, a heroine who haven't realized what's gonna hit her, utterly funny, a little awkward and clumsy, it was a good recipe for an easy and quick read, to fall in love with characters and their crazy family.
And don't forget Fawn's dog... so cute!

When first awkward encounters can make you find the right guy, or in that situation, probably the love of your life, well you just have to take the crazy ride.

I had a great time reading Running Into Love.
This is the kind of feel good story that put a smile on my face. Can't wait to read the next book!

When I saw this book here on Netgalley, I realized that it was written by an author who will also attend RARE London in February and I also realized that I hadn't read any books by her yet. The blurb sounded really promising so I just had to request an ARC of this book.
Let's just say that maybe this was the first book by Aurora Rose Reynolds that I've read but it definitely won't be the last. I really, really enjoyed reading this book even though the hero's bossiness and possessiveness sometimes made me a bit mad.

Fawn is attracted to Levi and she is rather shy and insecure so it definitely helps that he kind of bullies her into celebrating with him and letting him in her life and so on but sometimes I was a bit annoyed. He couldn't be sure that she felt for him the way she felt and if she hadn't shared his feelings, she might have been pushed into a relationship that she didn't want. Perhaps he would have realized it and would have accepted it but...
Apart from that I loved Levi and Fawn. Their chemistry is amazing and I just kept laughing and giggling and, of course, swooning my way through the book.

I also loved when their families meet, all this chaos, drama and laughter - wonderful! Fawn is a very sweet and loving character and the way she cared for the little girl just made me love her even more. Levi is also a wonderful character, despite his bossiness, hard cop and loving boyfriend all rolled up in one gorgeous package.

If you are looking for a sweet love, great characters and a lot of wit and humor, this book is the right one for you. If that's not what you are looking for---well, try it anyway, it is amazing!

I'm always up for reading any book of Aurora Rose Reynolds and she's one of those authors where I don't need to read the synopsis to see if I want to read it, I just have to see that it's by her. Running Into Love was no different, I wanted it as soon as I saw it and I couldn't wait to dive in. It took me a little bit longer to read it than I wanted to because real life got in the way, but I absolutely loved reading Running Into Love! 

Fawn is such an easy heroine to connect to. She's a little bit dorky - you can totally call her adorkable - she's a little bit accident prone and a mess sometimes, but in an endearing, good way. Fawn is definitely someone who is so beautiful and she has no idea just how beautiful she is. Fawn is sweet and truly has a heart of gold. She is wonderful and I completely loved her! 

Aurora Rose Reynolds always has fantastic heroes and Levi is the just latest swoon worthy addition. He's devoted, possessive, protective, and he appreciates everything about Fawn. Levi is fun and sweet and he'll melt your heart. I loved Levi from the get-go and he only made me fall more in love with him the more we got to know him. 

Running Into Love was a sweet, light, and funny read. I laughed and smiled so much, but it also pulled on my heartstrings a little too. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading Running Into Love, it has been far too long since I've read one of Ms. Reynolds' books and it just felt so good to crack this one open. I also can't wait for her to write about the other characters in the book because I need, need, need their stories! 

Running Into Love is a standalone, it's told from Levi and Fawn's POV, and they do get their happily-ever-after.

Running into Love was a mixed bag for me. I adore Aurora Rose Reynolds however, I found this story a bit disjointed and I struggled to really connect with the characters. There were a lot of side stories thrown at us along with the main story about Fawn and Levi that distracted me a bit. I did enjoy their fast-paced love story though, and how Levi really had to work through Fawn's defenses!

This was such a fun read!! Fawn & Levi were just an adorable couple & of course Muffin (the dog) made the story even better. I can't wait to read more in this series (Running Into Love was the first in the Fluke My Life series) because the side characters were so entertaining!

This was the first time I read anything by the author but will be reading more!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This was a great start to a new series by one of my faves, Aurora Rose Reynolds. She has another winner on her hands with this book, series and cast of characters.

Fawn and Levi were such a fun and quirky couple yet somehow they had crazy chemistry too. Fawn is this sort of clumsy and quirky girl who is completely unaware of how great she is. Levi is this sexy Alpha detective who is focused on his career. Neither is looking when they literally bump right into each other. They made the book special but what put it over the top was the supporting characters. From Fawn’s sisters to Levi’s partner and his brother and let’s not forget their mothers this is a series built for success! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and get more of this crew.

I love, love but I also love laughter and light hearted books that just make me feel happy. This book fits the bill perfectly.

5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, pain, secrets, and heartbreak.


This is Fawn and Levi’s story. Fawn has dealt with too much heartbreak and decided she is not looking for love. She is happy just being alone with her dog. Levi is a detective and Fawn’s new neighbor. But when they run into each other there beginning is a little rocky. But Levi knows what he wants and is not afraid to go after it. A few misunderstands have these both pulling back. But with the families and friends jumping in these two can’t keep away from each other. Once they both fall they fall hard.

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

Fawn Callaghan has kissed one too many toads and has finally decided that Prince Charming doesn’t exist. After countless mishaps, mistakes, and unmitigated disasters on the dating scene, she’s decided to give up and move on with her life…solo.

Everything changes, however, after Fawn runs into Levi Fremont, a homicide detective new to New York City.

Dedication to the job has rendered Levi’s love life nonexistent—until he moves in next door to the free-spirited Fawn. After a series of comedic run-ins push them together, will they finally give in to the inevitable and realize—maybe—they are perfect for each other?



* * * * *



This book was definitely not for me. In my opinion, Levi is everyone's worst nightmare of a man. Even though Fawn attempts to avoid him, he hunts her down calling her demeaning names like Baby. He's pretty much the definition of a stalker even though he wears a badge. And his thoughts about owning her...shudder...



Fawn was nice enough but just the fact that she lets Levi get away with that stuff and still gets together with him causes me to wonder if she needs help with her self worth.



As you can tell,this isn't a book that I would recommend to my readers. This book stunned me with all the things that Levi pulls and manages to get away with. Personally I would have called his captain.

Good start to the series. Great humor and interesting characters. The family moments throughout the book were priceless! Fawn and Levi seemed destined to be together. I enjoyed watching Fawn fall. Levi showed patience while still supporting her. Anytime there is a dog thrown in the mix, I am a happy camper as well.

Looking forward to Mac and Libby's stories. I am hoping Levi's brother might play a part here as well.

Good job!

FUN & ENTERTAINING!

Fawn Reed and her sisters stole the show for me in this book!!! I loved it! Running into love had me feeling all the feels. Fawn and Levi have insta- love, and off the hook chemistry! The story line, and characters had me falling in love!

If you have a soft spot for insta-love stories, with a touch of humor and suspense; I highly recommend picking this book up! I can't wait for the next book to come out in this new refreshing series!

Eeekkk!!! Again another amazing book written by Ms. Aurora!!! The way the story started is hilarious!!!! It's one of the reasons that made me addicted to it!! Anyway, Fawn and Levi's duo will make you laugh out loud and call in love at the same time. What I love about this book is that there's no full moments and all throughout the story is gripping and will make you turn the page more and more. Overall, this book will rock your world! Loved it!!!! So excited for more ARR books!!!!

Running into Love is the first book in Aurora Rose Reynolds Fluke My Life Series. Fawn Reed is a teacher who likes to run. When she inadvertently runs into Levi Fremont, a homicide detective, sparks fly and an instant connection is made. Although Levi has to work hard to win Fawn's trust, once their friendship is formed the physical attraction they feel for one another brings them together and a match made in heaven is made.

Told in dual POV, Running into Love is a sweet romance that is a perfect read for someone seeking a light and whimsical contemporary romance. I enjoy Ms. Reynolds writing style and as always her characters are endearing and full of heart. The secondary characters offer depth to the plot and although the relationship between the main characters happens fast, they are perfectly matched for each other.

Overall, I am a huge fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds and would not hesitate to recommend her work to all of my contemporary romance loving friends.
