Thank you Alison Bliss for writing a wonderful story about Brett and Sidney who broke up and then meet again a year later. I love the cameos of other characters from her other books . This is a sweet short story that will leave you with a smile at the end. Happy Reading!

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously. To have a book that is well written as well as entertaining is a delight. Reading is about escaping your world and entering another one. The word building was phenomenal in this book. Here I forgot about my own life and was immersed in the world created by the author. I would recommend this

What can be better for me right now than a short second chance romance? Meant To Be is such a cute story. I enjoyed seeing Sidney and Brett reconnect, and I giggled at their miscommunication in the last scene. It was my first time reading Alison Bliss, but I will definitely try out some of her full length novels.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review Meant to Be. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish this book and won't be rating or reviewing at this time. Should I decide to give it another chance down the road, I will rate and review on my blog, Goodreads and retailers at that time.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of ‘Meant to Be’ by Alison Bliss in exchange for an honest review.

A quick read from the Perfect Fit series. I felt that the story was rushed and superficial. I really wanted more of Sidney and Brett’s story.

I could not put this book down! It’s fun, sexy and truly delightful. I really enjoyed Brett and Sidney’s journey to rekindle the love that they once had. The chemistry between them is felt immediately and I could not help but want them to figure it out and get back together for the happily-ever-after they both deserved. I also enjoyed ‘visiting’ with past characters from the Perfect Fit series…..it was like a mini reunion of my favorite characters.

Meant to Be is the perfect balance between an entertaining story, fascinating characters and steamy sex scenes, and boy can Ms. Bliss write some down right steamy sex scenes! She has an impeccable talent of drawing the reader into the story with her words and at the end feeling completely satisfied.

This was considered a short story, but it was a bit longer than that. I did read it in one sitting. Cute romance story. If you like romance and are just looking for quick, enjoyable read, I would recommend this.

I LOVED the characters! This is my first Alison Bliss book, but I definitely want to catch up with the rest of the series and keep up with it. Brett might be my favorite book boyfriend yet - accountability is sexy as hell! I'll admit that Sidney got on my nerves just a little bit; there are two sides to every story and no one is completely faultless in a situation such as theirs. Meant to Be is such a fun and refreshing read! It is the perfect introduction to a new author and new world and I'm happy to be in the know now! 4 out of 5 wine glasses .

A comedy book, laugh out loud, with relationships, the one, sexy, lustful and downright naughty. Enjoyed this book for a break from deeper books.

DNF @ 30%, so no rating. Ugh...I don't think this author even tried to make this hero have a man's voice. Aside from that, I am so over the whole 'Oh! All I needed was a woman to tell me what I needed to do!' story line. It's just not for me.

This was a very cute story. I really liked the characters and their banter. I only wish it was a little longer. I didn't realize it was a novella, so that on me. I only gave it 4 stars because I didn't find 1 part of the book to be at all believable. I know, it's fiction and not always believable, but that's my opinion. I just thought the reactions weren't what I would expect. I'll just say the part was towards the end.

I really liked it and would have loved to have seen them more in their relationship.

I have read this entire series by Alison Bliss and she is one of my favorite author's. She certainly does not disappoint in this quick and easy read novella.

Brett and Sidney had dated and broke up due to Brett's issues with being overprotective and basically an a**. He runs into Sidney due to a flat tire on the side of the road while heading to an important appointment. He gives up that time to help out his ex-love.

Can Brett show Sidney that he really has changed, like he says he has? Will she give him that second chance that he wants and needs? Please pick up a copy...you will not regret it!! The entire series is fantastic!!

Alison's writing will leave you with a smile on your face and perhaps some good dreams...(wink)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. It was fantastic, just as I knew it would be!!

This is a sweet quick short second chance romance novel. I enjoyed Sidney’s character, she fekt real to me and Brett is a sexy alpha. This is a good read before bedtime, it has its drama and a bit of angst and sexiness. I have not read the other books in the series and had no problem following. Again, good fun quick read.
Thank you netgalley

I really liked this book. It was a quick short fun easy read. I know it was supposed to be a shorter read but i liked it so much I didn’t want it to end. Wish it was a little longer. Thank you for allowing me to preview and read this book via netgalley. Will definitely read more by this author.

Meant to Be is a sweet little novel about second chances, if the couple will let their guards down and let the universe take over. There is nothing like second guesses to put the brakes on love and it seems both Sidney Larson and Brett Carmichael are so good at making them to the point that you want them to get out of their heads and into the action.

A Perfect Fit is perfect! Second chance love with so much heart. Sidney is like all of us. Her tenacity and insecurities make her well rounded. Brett is sexy, strong and over the top alpha. Their story is heartwarming and had me smiling through the very last page. This little novella is perfect for bedtime. It’s quick and easy to read with a whole lot of sexy in it.

Meant to Be is book 3.5 novella that is in the More to Love series by Alison Bliss. Brett Carmichael and Sidney Larson are the main characters in this novella. Sidney and Brett have a complex past. Their break up was mostly due to something that Brett had said/did. Fast forward to now and Brett has really worked on being a better person, a better man- one Sidney could be proud of and possibly learn to love again. Only Sidney has gone thru changes since they broke up and she is dealing with tons of insecurities. Will Brett be able to prove he loves Sidney flaws and all? Will Sidney be able to let Brett know the love she felt for him has stayed during the time they were apart? Even though this was a short novella, it packed quite a punch. Full of heat, drama, emotion and love.

My Rating: 4.5 stars *****

This was a cute short story. I have not read any of the other books from the Perfect Fit series by Allison Bliss p, yet was still able to enjoy this book. It was so short that I’d like to read more of the series to enjoy the authors writing style and learn more about the characters.
