My life has been so busy, so when I pick up a book, I expect to escape reality and be completely drawn in. Susan Mallery accomplished all that in the first few pages. I was instantly transported into Natalie's and Ronan's love adventure. The dialogue and setting were so well done that it almost made me late for work. I enjoy picking up a book where I can fully immerse myself in the characters and their personality. Natalie's witty optimistic charm combined with Ronan's broody and sullen moods proved to be quite entertaining and and fun. The additional characters also added some lighthearted moments and showed another side to the main characters. They were well developed and brought back some nostalgic memories of when I read the previous books in this series and the Fool's Gold series. On that note, I think I'll pick back up the Fool's Gold series and start it all over again.

The 3rd book in the Happily Inc series. The first two books in the series are about the Mitchell brothers and this third novel concludes all the brothers HEA who live in Happily Inc. I looked forward to this story since we the audience from the previous two novels have learnt about Ronan being estranged from his family. Ronan is still dealing with the fall out of finding out the woman he calls mother all these years is not his mother and he has cut himself off from her and barely has a relationship with his siblings Nick and his "fraternal twin Matthias. Natalie works in the art office that houses all three Mitchell brothers art and has secret liked Ronan but felt he would not be interested in her. Natalie too is an artist who uses paper for her art unlike the Mitchell brothers who uses metal, glass and wood. Natalie and Ronan start a relationship with no strings attached but as it always is with these plots no strings turn into love. We get to see Pallas Carol and of course the other Mitchell brothers from the previous novel. Review on goodreads and amazon.

I love this series and the town of Happily Inc! It is the type of town I'd like to live in if I could.

This book focuses on Natalie and Ronan. I like that Natalie is a curvy girl and for the most part owns and rocks her curves. Ronan has a lot of baggage from finding out that he doesn't know who his biological mother is and that the woman that raised him lied to him about being his mother. I like how his brothers and Natalie don't let him wallow in his misery for long....well not too long, they basically tell him to get over himself.

The romance between these two has their ups and downs, but that is what made it a real romance and not a fairy tale. They support each other but also they have their moments where not everything is sunshine and roses.

A quick fun read when you just want to pretend that nothing is wrong with the world.

Mallery is on the top of her game with Why Not Tonight. This quirky series keeps getting better with age. Natalie and Ronan's story is the strongest of the series so far. Fans of the series know these characters well and the secondary characters really help move the plot of the book along while letting readers know that their lives are moving along in parallel with the main characters. As always, shout outs to Fool' s Gold are always appreciated. I would sprint and not walk to purchase this book.

Sweet Sensually contemporary romance set in Happily, Inc.
The most reclusive Mitchell brother, Ronan, meets his match in the irrepressible Natalie, who works part time at the art studio he's linked to.
The pair's journey is humorous and sensual with just enough angst to keep you from putting the book down.
I love this quirky series and this book is a delightful addition.
I received a NetGalley ARC to peruse and offer my opinion.

I've been waiting to learn more about Ronan and Natalie and Ms. Mallery did not disappoint! Excellent continuation of this series. The characters are well-developed, funny, and folks I'd want to be friends with in real life. I'm anxious to see how they develop in future books.

You can always count on Susan Mallery. She never fails to deliver a sweet, entertaining, and happy romance. I'm not quite sure how she manages to do it every single time especially since she has written so many books. Why Not Tonight is a cute, adorable read.

Our two main characters are Natalie and Ronan. If you've read Susan Mallery's other series, Fool's Gold, then you've already met Ronan Mitchell. If this is your first read by Susan Mallery, all you need to know about Ronan is that he's an artist with a ton of baggage. When Ronan was 24 years old he found out that he was the product of an affair. Turns out, his father had an affair while we was away selling his art. This meant that his mom wasn't his biological mother and his fraternal twin, Mathias, was never his twin to begin with. It's been years since the reveal yet Ronan has neither forgiven his mother nor spoke to her. Natalie, on the other hand, is a ray of pure sunshine. She's a happy go lucky girl who constantly sees the good in people. She's the perfect person for Ronan. She helps lighten him up, smile, and laugh.

This story is incredibly sweet. Natalie and Ronan have been coworkers for years, so it isn't surprising that when they start to see each other "casually"--c'mon, we all know how those relationships end up--feelings develop. Natalie helps Ronan find his way back to the man he used to be. She inspires him to reconnect with his brothers. She inspires his work. The one thing she can't inspire him to do is reconnect and forgive his mother, and Natalie isn't sure she can see a future with someone who can throw away their relationship with their own mother over a grudge. Will Ronan overcome his grudge and make amends with his mom? Or will he lose Natalie and every bit of himself he's worked so hard to find? Read and find out!

Ronans story is as intricate and complicated as he is. I loved watching him fall hard for Natalie and I loved watching Natalie blossom into a great
artist as well as a wonderful loving woman who creates a family of her own.

Natalie is just awkward at times, “it’s really good I don’t have a cat. He would have been starving. Although I guess I would have called a neighbor or one of my friends to feed him so he would have been fine. But I didn’t.” She cleared her throat. “What with not having a cat and all.” Ronan's lady just has a way of soothing him, "whatever irritation he’d been feeling had disappeared the second she’d started talking. He had no idea how she did that, but it was an impressive gift." I liked this book, I loved how broody Ronan was.
