Wow. I was hoping that Wesley and Mackenzie's story would be next in this entertaining series. I loved this couple and like that the story intertwines with the first book but yet sets itself apart. The wacky family just adds another layer to the fantastic read.

I love Aurora Rose Reynolds!! But I have to tell you, this was not a book for me. I read the first one and I was't fully in love with this series so I though I would try Stumbling Into Love. Again, it wasn't a book from her that I was into. Given that, I did not write a review on my social media platforms. I did not that would be fair to Aurora Rose Reynolds given that she is an author in my top 10 one click authors.

Somewhere just south of 3 stars, maybe 2.75. I was in the mood for a quick, uncomplicated alpha romance and this delivered. It had more humor than I expected and I appreciated that it was fairly low on angst. Perfect palate cleanser type of book.

Stumbling Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds was a highly entertaining read!

Wesley and Mackenzie were the perfect blend of steamy and romantic. Right from the very beginning you could tell that these two had a powerful relationship. They were not only physically attracted to one another, but they had a connection that ran much deeper. They were able to understand one another on a level that no one else was able to. They understood each others insecurities and worries. Through this understanding, they were able to help one another grow as individuals, and truly become the person they wanted to be, and achieve their goals.

This is totally unrelated to my review and rating, but have you seen how gorgeous the covers are for this series!!! They are absolutely stunning! I could sit and stare at them all day.

5/5 Stars!

I feel like I’m always repeating myself in my reviews for Aurora, but her characters just make me warm and fuzzy. I always know what to expect when I read one of her stories: a hunky alpha male who knows when he finds the woman of his dreams, and a woman who needs a little convincing, usually via hot sex. Wes and Mackenzie were great together, and yes, Wes did have to convince Mackenzie that she was exactly what he wanted in his life. The side characters, especially the moms, gave this extra laughs. I’d read a book just about their antics in trying to marry off their children prior to them meeting their future loves.

Book Review- Stumbling into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Mac has a date. She believes she is finally able to move on from her crush. Unfortunately, her date stands her up. However, it is to Wesley’s advantage. He is instantly drawn to her and she him. She knows he doesn’t want the real person she is. She is a tomboy, not the sexy woman he saw that night. She never expects to see him again.
Fate enters the picture as Wesley is the partner of her sister, Fawn’s boyfriend. She is shocked as is Wesley and things feel a bit awkward. Yet, Wesley can’t stop thinking about her and decides he wants a relationship. His possessiveness almost gets in the way but they become inseparable. However, things get complicated when Mac gets shocking news and Wesley refuses to deal with past events. Things begin to fall apart as neither one knows how to fix what happened and where to go from there.
I love this book. I read the first book about Levi and Fawn, where you are introduced to Mac and Wesley. So, I was excited to read this one. It didn’t disappoint. I love how they met and got together. The fact that they have no idea who the other really is until Thanksgiving is funny. I can just imagine how that all played out.
I liked how the author gave them a real relationship. It was hard and went back and forth a bit. It was believable as a relationship. It could be anyone you know. The story and events the author develop are realistic. This relationship was hard and you wanted to shake both of them for their fears and hardheadedness.
I truly loved the ending and the love scenes were pretty hot. Loved Wesley and his protective nature. Then Mac is soft-hearted but tries to come off tough. It is a great pairing and a fun read. I give it a 4.5 out of 5.

You know it's gonna be good when your very favorite author of all time releases a new book y'all and I'm here to tell you, ARR did not disappoint at all....delivering a solid, heart pumping, unforgettable BOOM 💥

Stumbling Into Love is the second standalone book in the Fluke My Life series and I swear Aurora gets better and better with every single book she writes. Sexy. Sweet. Fun. Addicting. This book was absolute perfect and..... Mac and Wesley were the most adorable pair! I got lost between the pages of their journey and I didn't want it to end once it was over.

Mackenzie or known to family and friends as Mac is a tomboy, best friend kind of girl through and through. When she meets the irresistible Wesley one night, everything changes. He wants more, constantly pushing her, even when she's scared. But Wesley is a man who gets what he wants and Mac, well she's his forever and he's never letting her go or run.

Undeniable chemistry. Great banter. Steamy love. Mac and Wesley fiercely stole my heart and left me feeling so good, start to finish.

Catch up with characters from book one and fall in love all over again... Stumbling Into Love is going to be your next obsession, guaranteed.

I highly recommend this book.

There hasn't been a book by this author that I haven't liked and at first, I had trouble getting into this and then I really took time out to read it and I LOVED it!!! This is one of those books where the girl is crushing on boy forever, the boy never sees her, so girl decides to go out on a date and have one night stand...only - it doesn't go as planned. She goes out on a date and the guy stands her up but that's okay because she meets Wesley and he's as Alpha as can be and they have a hot, hot night together but she leaves him and runs for the train - thinking she sees him, but that can't be because she left him in bed!! However, that was exactly what it was. Wesley can't think of anything else but Mac and the chemistry between these two were off the charts...like steaming. I had to cool off my kindle because it was smoking lol! This series is actually the authors best yet. I can't wait to see what she has next.

Stumbling Into Love is the second book in the Fluke My Life series and if you have read the first book, Running Into Love, you will be looking forward to finally finding out why Mackenzie reacts to Wesley the way she does....

Being stood up is not the way you want to pass your evening so when this great looking stranger walks into her life, Mackenzie throws caution to the wind and ..well, you know?
Somehow the part of no-strings-attached doesn't work though and somehow those two end up together again. And again. And....considering the fact how much they are drawn to each other, they should be deliriously happy but both of them have some issues that they are dealing with. It takes some time and some help from friends and family for them to be able to overcome their problems and to find their HEA.

There may be lots of love and laughter along the way, at least I giggled and laughed a lot while reading it and some swooning and cheering on. I loved the first book in this series and Stumbling Into Love was also really great. Now I am rather impatiently looking forward to the next book Tossed Into Love where we'll find out more about Libby and her story.

I really enjoyed Mac and Wesley's story. This is the second book in this series and focuses on the oldest sister Mac. Who would have thought being stood up would lead her to the love of her life? Mac never dreamed that night that she tried her first one night stand would lead her to forever. Wesley is a dark and broody cop who can't get enough of Mac.

I loved these two together. Mac's crazy family makes an appearance through the story, although they aren't as involved as in the book 1. I loved watching Mac and Wesley navigate the waters of their relationship and figuring out what they truly needed to make things work between them. I can't wait for Libby's story!

The author has a way of making you feel all the feels! Wesley is one hot man. Mackenzie isn't gonna fall for him... or will she???

5 star

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

Before reading this story please read the below books first
Running into Love (Fluke My Life #1)


This is Mac and Wesley’s story. Wesley and Mac meet and sparks fly. They have one night where they think that is it, but a forgotten phone and a bunch of misunderstandings have then around each other repeatedly. When they find out who they are friends and family with they understand they will be around each other a lot. Now to either get over the feelings or give into them. When Wesley shuts down and will not open up about the past Mac wonders if she is the only one in the relationship. Can they figure out a plan to be together or is this the end?

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.

I’ve had this book on my kindle for a long time and I could just shake myself for waiting so long before I finally decided to pick up Stumbling Into Love and read it. I loved Running Into Love, but I loved this one even more! It was such an excellent read and I enjoyed every minute of it!

I know Mac considers herself a tomboy and one of the guys, but I loved that she’s so easygoing and down-to-earth for the most part. She’s simple but in the best way, she’s sweet and kind and beautiful. Mac has her insecurities, but she wasn’t annoying or over the top about it. I really loved Mac — she’s just lovely.

I couldn’t have not loved Wesley if I had tried, but why would I try — the man is absolutely swoon worthy! He’s protective, possessive, and a total alpha. He’s dominant but patient and understanding and sweet. He has his shake-your-head, roll-your-eyes moments, but Wesley truly is a wonderful hero. He’s sweet and will without a doubt steal your heart.

Stumbling Into Love was sweet and fun and sexy. It made me laugh and smile, it amused me and entertained me, and it made me all warm and gooey inside. It had its heartachey/breaky moments and it’s beautiful, tender ones too. It was even better than I thought it would be and I just positively adored it!

Stumbling Into Love is the second book in the Fluke My Life series, but it can be read as a standalone. It’s told from Wesley and Mac’s POV and they get their happy ending.

Stumbling Into Love is the second book in the Fluck My Life series. Can be read as a standalone, however the characters interconnect in eachother's books. The story is so sweet, funny and sexy. It flowed at a good pace and I enjoyed it. The characters Wesley and Mackenzie were likeable and they had good, fun banter. I liked the family dynamics, it only added to the story. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Sweet!! This is what I all the softer side of Aurora Rose Reynold. The characters aren't as over the top as I'm used too, but this was a satisfying read. If you're into men in uniforms and quirky heroines, this might be your jam.

The main characters aren't as over the top as previous books by this author. The storyline is cute. Mac takes her sister's advice and decides to dress up for a night of fun, which is the complete opposite of her general personality. She meets a handsome stranger and has a night of steamy passion. Little do they know, Wesley is her soon to be brother in law's partner.

This is one of my favorite tropes - BABIES!!!! Thouth there's a lot of back of forth in this one. Mac is all over the place and takes a while to see what's right in front in front. Luckily, Wes is deteremined and doesn't give up.

All in all, it was a cute story written by an amazing author. Aurora Rose Reynold is in my Top 10 of Favorite Authors. If she writes it, I'll read it.

Cute, fun story. Mac was very leary of love and after being stood up for a blind date, she goes home with Wesley. She panicked in the morning after a hot sexy night and ran, leaving her phone behind. She goes back to get it and they end up in bed again. This story tells about how Wesley (who is a cop) doesn't open up about a past partner and how he got shot. Mac runs every time she gets scared of her emotions. It's a fun read and I enjoyed every word of it. Since this is the 2nd book of the series, I will go back and get the first. I got this book from NetGalley for an honest review. It was a a good book on how a relationship can grow.

After reading the first book in the series I was very interested in finding out more about Wes and Macs story. I was not disappointed with this story as the couples were really good together and I loved the storyline. The author did a great job with this story and I can wait to read the next book in the series.

I found this book was just ok. It wasn’t fantastic, nor was it horrible. I found the building of the relationship between Wesley and Mac felt rushed. And I was a little bit lost, but I pushed through understanding this was the second book in the series and telling myself I must have missed something others got from reading the first book. However, this was marketed as a stand-alone, so a bit more back-story might have helped me. I was also surprised that Wesley all of a sudden shares his “big secret” with Mac’s father and asked for advice. When did they become close enough for this? Perhaps I missed something somewhere?

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of this book and I am providing my honest review.

There is a reason Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of my all-time favourite authors she has not written a book I have not enjoyed yet and this one did not disappoint it is the second book in the series and is just as good if not better than the first.This is Mac's and Wesley's story these two meet while she is coming to terms with her best friend who she had been crushing on for the last couple of years, he is now engaged to.When she is stood up on a blind date she meets Wesley and they spend the night together but when he wakes up she is gone.This was a great read I just loved that no matter how many times she ran he refused to give up on her.
