This one was so much fun to read, from the startling meeting between Mac and Wesley to the ending. I think what made the first meeting so memorable was that it was so out of character to Mac, but her reaction was spot on. I found myself laughing as she ran and later when her phone ploy went awry, which made me happy. I liked that Wesley called Mac out on her behavior and once again Mac acted out of character.

The next time these two meet was great, so deliciously awkward. I hated that Mac couldn't accurately say why she didn't want to out things with Wesley as it made him feel like crap, but she did a good job making things up with him. Almost as good was when Mac called Wesley out on the ways that he kept Mac out, it needed to be done if they were to thrive. I loved how Wesley figured things out, nothing like eating crow and running for your life at the same time.

I loved how this one ended, loved the double epilogue and seeing how happy Mac and Wesley were.

One a side note, Mac's parents once again shone in this one. They are crazy, but in the best way. I also find myself looking forward to Libby's book, you can see where things are heading in this one and it should be interesting.

How is it that this author can make me fall in love with EVERY character she writes. 24% in and I was already in love!

'Why’d you leave?
Because you wouldn’t want me if you really knew me.
You’re wrong.'

Wesley, Wesley, Wesley how I love thee.

So, me falling in love aside, all this was set up in Running into Love and I simply could not wait to read. Mac's family are just hilarious, her mum never fails to disappoint!

Now I just need Libby to make the full set!

I received a no cost arc from netgallery for review purposes.

This is book 2 in the series and runs concurrently with book 1. It stars Wes, a guy Mac hooks up for one night in a bar. She runs the next day but returns because she left her cell phone. After that she runs into him at Thanksgiving dinner and thats where she finds out he is her sisters boyfriends police partner. And that is where the book gets fun.

This is the story about Wes and Mac falling in love around her crazy family. It was sweet., romantic and I truly loved every second of the story. Wes has a tragic past and he has to learn how to move past that and let Mac in.

This book stands alone but if you plan to read the series I would start with the first book so you will understand events easily as I said some things run concurrently.

Mackenzie Reed is unlucky in men, she always seems to find a man who doesn't share the feelings she has. After the latest blow ends up with her alone at a bar she meets Wesley Porter, he charms her immediately but when the night is over Mackenzie leaves believing it is a one night stand.

Wesley doesn't know what to think where Mackenzie is concerned, the attraction is there but she seems to think that she is not the type of girl Wesley would want and she couldn't be more wrong. Wesley knows he is not planning to let Mackenzie go but how do you convince a stubborn woman he is playing for keeps.

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.

Oh, HOLY WOW! Wesley & Mackenzie have a little more angst to work through, but they do it SO WELL! I'm so thankful the have had the opportunity to read this one early! ARR is an author I can always count on to deliver a fun, emotional story, and I look forward to each new one like Christmas morning when I was a kiddo. Wesley & Mackenzie have a BOOM-like bond (perhaps one of them is secretly related to the Maysons...*grin*). And I loved seeing more of the Fawn/Mac/Libby sister connection - especially because they give us some great LOL moments!! They are a hoot when they're in a scene together!

Bottom line - I love this story & it joins its sibling books on my favorites/re-read shelf!! : )

AAR has done it again. I was excited to see Mac and Wes’ story play out after reading the first book and I wasn’t disappointed. The chemistry that they have, the witty banter, the way they deal with their issues. It was all done beautifully. I loved seeing all the secondary characters from the first book, and look forward to seeing where the next book will take us. This book followed pretty much the same timeline as the first one and getting to see different aspects of what we already saw was another fun part. 5 Stars #2OCCJD

Full disclosure, I didn't like the previous book in this series. I actually debated on requesting this arc because I was so nervous about the story but in the end the fact that it was ARR, one of my favorite authors, gave me the courage to just dive right in.

I'm really glad I didn't let my nervousness stop me from reading this because I ended up thoroughly enjoying Mackenzie and Wesley. Mac was a great heroine that I quickly became a fan of. I loved that she was so comfortable being who she wanted to be and despite a few moments where she had hopes of being a little more girly. It was fun to read about her so at ease with Wesley and it made me pay a lot more attention to the chemistry between them, which ended up being my favorite part of this book.

Wesley was more of mystery than Mac was and wanting to know more about his character had me captivated. We didn't get to learn too much of his past until the end but I liked that the not knowing added such an intrigue to the story.

Overall, this book took me back to the old ARR stories and reminded me why she's one the first authors I recommend whenever someone is looking for a new-to-them author to read. The story was well paced, intriguing, and had characters that were very easy to like. I'm already dying to get the next book in the series and can't wait to see how it turns out.

ARR once again brings a book full of chemistry, a swoons alpha and romance that will make your heart beat.

I absolutely love every time I open a book from Aurora Rose Reynolds knowing I’m going to get the giddy swoony romance I live for.

After a sexy one night hookup these two run into each other again. Keeping up with the theme of this series it’s almost as if it’s fate and not just a fluke.

Their story has some entertaining moments which include some hilarious and somewhat crazy side characters.

Mac and Wesley have their stumbling blocks but Wesley’s persistence definitely had my heart swooning.

I love Mac and how she was such an easy going type of woman. She’s much more comfortable in Jean and a tshirt and that made her so easily relatable.

These two were definitely perfect for each other and I loved their chemistry, their easiness around one another and how they fit together.

Absolutely can’t wait for more from this series.

This is a great romantic story from Reynolds! It's different from her Mason Men series which is nice too see. Wesley and Mac are so great together. The chemistry is on point and it has a wonderful HEA.
