Thank you Entangled Publishing. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. What a fun flirty romance. I found parts in the middle to be very hum drum but got through it and enjoyed the novel. It was a very pleasant way to spend some time.

Miles And Miles Of You follows Lucy who decides to quit her job, venture out and travel the world in her RV while vlogging it. Her boss Miles wants her back as his assistant because he acts like he can't do anything for himself. He decides to invite himself on her cross country adventure and the two come to an agreement. Through their two week journey, they form a friends with benefits situation and at the end realize their feelings for one another. This was a fast paced story. I wasn't big on Miles' character. The insta lust had me rolling my eyes. It was just an okay read.

Will Miles realize that he’s falling in love with Lucy during the road trip?

Lucy Gonzalez even though she was in love with her boss Miles, she finally had enough of keeping him on time and on schedule. So she quit out of frustration to be a travel influencer traveling Route 66 across America on a shoestring budget with an old Airstream documenting each stop along the way.

Billionaire Miles Hart had thought Lucy was bluffing until she packed everything on her last day. But Miles has a plan to get her to work for him again at Triada by taking her on her off-hand offer to go with her on the trip without telling his brothers he’s leaving on vacation. Little does Miles know that there is only one bed in the Airstream and its Lucy’s?

You need to read Miles and Miles of You if you like romances that are a more of a slower burn to the couple falling in love. Because what will happen when they finish the travelling Route 66?

Absolutely yes! I really enjoyed reading this novel. The characters were fun, it held my interest, and provided an escape from reality. I would definitely recommend!

Miles and Miles of You follows Lucy as she quits her job (as an executive assistant for the handsome Miles) and becomes a travel influencer. This is shaken up further when, in a quest to get her back to help organize his professional life, Miles joins her Route 66 road trip. Inevitable sparks start to fly.

While I thought this was immensely readable, I ultimately wasn't able to suspend my disbelief enough for this to be a successful romance read for me. The set-up of Lucy quitting her job and turning around and becoming a travel influencer felt rushed to me, as did Miles's decision to join her trip. There was very little discussion about the power dynamics involved with the relationship even though the two don't get together until after Lucy no longer works for Miles, but given that her potential employment is on the board as a bet the entire road trip, I wish this hadn't been as glossed over as it was. The choice to make Lucy an influencer felt like an attempt to make this book feel uber contemporary and trendy rather than feeling like an actual choice that was in line with Lucy's character. Ultimately, these choices just kept snowballing in a way that kept me from enjoying this book more.

My thoughts:
Likes - I really liked this story. It was so hilarious and fun to follow Lucy and Miles and their shared experiences on their road trip. It happened a lot of funny and crazy things along the way and it was nice to see how they where growing on each other during the time. How their relationship became more than "assistant and boss". Lucy's crazy grandma was a very interesting character, who was very free spirited and hilarious, and I wished to read more about her. And I fell for the little creature Gizmo, Lucy's beloved hamster.

Dislikes - Too much spice for my taste 🙈.

This was a new author for me, and when I read the synopsis of the story, I was excited to request a copy. I seriously loved this book! Funny, light-hearted, heartwarming, adventurous, sexy, and very well written. I enjoyed Miles and Lucy a lot, their antics on the trip that throws them together had me laughing at their banter and situations throughout the story. Gizmo was awesome, but damn if the desert scene didn’t make my heart stop! Gran was down to earth and hysterical, and I loved the brothers. This book seriously has it all, and you get glimpses of the good ol USA on their cross country trip to Santa Monica. A real page turner, and the ending was freaking perfect. Definitely should go on everyone’s TBR list.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this free e-arc.

Unfortunately, this one was just not for me. I did not like the main male character, I found him very condescending and rude, and it made it hard to connect to the story. This one was a DNF for me, but I think this is just a personal preference, not a reflection of the story itself. Other romance readers will probably really enjoy this, it just wasn’t the book for me.

Oh friends. I struggled with this one. This should have been right up my alley. A fun Happily Ever After with plenty of spicy sex scenes and -bonus- a road trip! Unfortunately, I really couldn't get myself to care about these characters. At all. I think it's because the two main characters are very thin characters (very minimal backstories, no emotional depth, and zero character development). In addition, there's a complete lack of supporting characters. Boo. I forced myself to power through because it was an ARC and I care deeply about helping baby books take flight, but... I just didn't click with this one.

My thanks to the author, publisher, and #NetGalley.

Excuse me I can’t right this review right now because I’m too busy planning an impromptu road trip be back soon.

Okay all joking aside I’m just a sucker for travel/vacation based romances. They had such a unique texture to a story line, especially when it isn’t all glitz and glamor the whole time. This sweet story was no exception. I adored Miles and Lucy and I just want them to find pure happiness for the rest of their lives because they deserve it.

I devoured this book in less than a day because I was so captivating by the leisurely writing and the great character work. Both of them were dynamic and interesting and reflected really well off of each other. The banter was excellent and I loved watching them grow together and learn to let go of fears and be their own authentic selves. This book was just fun.

My only real complaint was the shorthand “AF, WTF, FTW,” etc. This is somewhat cringey to read because it doesn’t feel natural. A person is more likely to say it or text it, but for a person to think in text lingo just isn’t my favorite choice. But really other than that this book is a knock out.

I liked the idea of the book. Any story that centers around travel is a win for me! The idea behind the story was cute and on some levels I did enjoy the book, but I wish there was a little more depth. There wasn't much character growth and some of the interactions felt forced.
The very beginning of the book ticked me off a little. Lucy keeps saying that she "loves" her job.... but then when her boss acts exactly as you would expect him to... she quits? Umm... what? It didn't feel believable to me. Plus, she's supposed to be in love with her boss, but she can't put up with the type of person he is? Sorry, but that doesn't actually mean you're in love with him. Lucy is 100% a naïve little girl who thinks everything in life with just come to her. I feel like her character could have had at least a little more depth.
Meanwhile, Miles is your quintessential young and hot boss. At first he comes across very shallow and single dimension, but he's got an interesting back story. I do think his back story could have been expanded more. Did like the character growth for Miles. I loved watching Miles fall for Lucy, but how he didn't realize she had been crushing on him? That baffles me.
At the end of the road-trip though, all that growth that Miles accomplished is basically thrown out the window. I did like the decision Lucy made - it was a saving moment for her character in my eyes.
The batter is cute and on point. The spice was just enough. Dual POV was great. Overall, an easy and quick read. A great book to have on the kindle for a day at the beach.

If you enjoy road trip romances then this is the book for you. Lucy is an executive assistant who was raised to believe that job stability, benefits, etc, are the most important things to consider in a job. She works as an executive assistant to Miles, a wealthy tech executive. The problem is that Lucy feels totally underappreciated, plus, she has a bit of a crush on oblivious Miles, so in a weak moment, she quits, declaring she's going to pursue a career as a travel influencer. A couple of weeks later, Miles's business life has fallen apart and he's desperate to get Lucy back. He shows up just as she's about to take off on her maiden voyage in her grandma's 50 year old Airstream and maneuvers her into a bet. He'll come along on her budget trip across America on Route 66 while she tries to build her brand. If she fails, she comes back to work at double the salary. If she succeeds, he'll stop bothering her.

The bet sets the stage for plenty of unexpected experiences for both of them as they navigate their way through the sometimes tacky, sometimes hilarious attractions on the "Mother Road" on their way from the starting point in Chicago to its ending point in Santa Monica. Both start to see the other in a new light, including plenty of sparks from a now mutual attraction to each other, but will their fun and games turn into something longer term at the end of the road?

This is an adorable story about a girl who has been crushing on a guy for two-years, and FINALLY gets a chance to fall in love with him. But does he want to fall love or only do a business transaction to elevate his company with her travel brand? Miles is definitely swoon-worthy material, and he knows it with his standing Wednesday reservations for dinner with the ladies.

My only quip with Miles was his complete lack of knowing Lucy was crushing on him for so long...come on man you are a player. This two-week road trip across the country with a fifty year old travel trailer has friends finding love for a happily ever after hitting some bumps in the road.

Thank you Entangled Publishing for the complimentary copy of this book. Rating 3.5

3.5 stars rounded up!
This is my first book by Jennifer Bonds, and it will not be my last! This was such a great, cute, and funny weekend read! The characters, Lucy and Miles, had great chemistry and banter, which is a must in a romcom for me - I also liked how the road-trip setting really lent itself to the bond between the two, and created some excellent and hilarious predicaments!
I did find the pacing of the book a little quick towards the end - and found the switch in Miles' feelings quite fast/our of the blue - I think there could have been a bit more elaboration and time spent on Miles and his realization that he has feelings.. especially since its established pretty early on that Lucy already had those feelings!
All in all, a super enjoyable read!

Thank you NetGalley, Jennifer Bonds, and Entangled Publishing for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I thought this book was fine, and I enjoyed it while I was reading it. I enjoyed the characters and the road trip plot. It was fun and had some sexy bits. This felt like a standard romcom and I'm okay with that. If you want a fun, quick read, I would recommend this one.

“No one could ever replace you, Lucy. I thought you’d know that by now.”

I loved this book, I could not put it down! Lucy used to be Miles' assistant until she quit because she felt as if she was invisible. Also, side note, she's been in love with him for two years. When she quits, Miles realises he's lost without her and immediately needs her back. In order to win her back, he finds himself following her around on a road trip where she follows her dreams of becoming a travel influencer.

I loved a good forced proximity trope, and this book is just another reason why. In the beginning, Lucy is unsure if their even considered friends but Miles goes out of his way to prove her wrong. They spend so much time together, and I loved both of them realising that they're in love with the other person because of the new things they're learning about each other. Miles opening up to Lucy and also being able to read her like a book was so cute. I loved all their banter too, it was so worth waiting for them to give in to their feelings.

“Are we friends, Miles?” “Yes.” There’s no hesitation. No uncertainty. He’s 100 percent all in."

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!!

This book should come with a warning label that says, “liable to laugh until you get stitches”. It is supremely hilarious from start to finish. Lucy and Miles are just two awesome and amazing characters. The journey becomes so interesting as they each try to win the crazy bet. Lucy’s inner monologues talking herself out of falling in love with Miles provide great entertainment. There are just so many wonderful moments throughout you will definitely want a copy to read more than once.

Lucy Gonzalez worked as an executive assistant for Miles Hart. Tired of not getting any recognition from her boss and she quits to become a travel influencer. After Lucy quits, Miles personal and professional life is a mess and he realises his mistake in letting Lucy go. He decides he will do anything to get her back even if that means joining her on her cross country road trip.
Miles and miles of you was a fun and quick read. I enjoyed the banter and the chemistry between Miles and Lucy. The road trip was fun and I enjoyed the planning the author has put into the places and activities the characters experienced on their journey.
I would have liked to read more interaction with the grandma – she was a hoot, made me laugh. And I hope the author has planned books for Miles brothers as well. Would be fun to read about their HEA

In this book we meet Lucy, a hard working very driven career girl, who may just be in love with her boss. We have Miles, her boss, he spends his life dating beautiful woman while running a successful business, not ever really noticing Lucy exists, until she’s not there that is.

Lucy decides to do something spontaneous with her life and sets off on a road trip, down the infamous Route 66! When she decided on this trip the last thing she reckoned on was a travel buddy, especially seeing as the space she had was so small, and of course the little matter of her being in love with him. What could possibly go wrong?

I really enjoyed this book from start to finish, there was so much fun banter throughout that just kept a smile on my face while I read it. I really enjoyed both Lucy and Miles and thought they were ideal for each other, they certainly had chemistry. I loved imagining where they stopped along the mother road and loved all the fun things they did, even if most of it was Lucy trying to wind Miles up.

Great quick easy read that I definitely recommend.

This is a cute road trip romance. Miles has been Lucy's boss for a while and she's been in love with him for nearly as long. But he is oblivious and she can't take the unrequited crush any longer so one day, enough is enough. When Lucy quits on a post-it note it doesn't take long until his orderly office life spirals out of his control. Her dream is to become a travel influencer so she sells almost everything she owns and sets out on a road trip. Miles accompanies her as a dare, hoping he can convince Lucy to come back to work. Miles gains quite a few fans on Lucy's Instagram when he takes his shirt off, and taking some time off is good for him as well. In the ancient trailer, they sleep in close quarters, and learn to understand each other better. Miles sees his ever-efficient Lucy has a fun, sassy side and Lucy learns that Miles is not a commitment phobe just because he thinks it's cool but because of some childhood trauma that got him believing it's safer not to love anyone. I liked the dialogue, the characters, and the overall style of writing. The road trip was two weeks of fun incidents and I was never bored.

Steam level: Well, they stayed at a motel called The Love Shack, so what can you do.

What stood out:
Lucy is bilingual and uses some Spanish exclamations and idioms in her point of view. I am not fluent in Spanish but I could usually get the gist. Something I should have looked up but didn't.

I received a free copy of this book and this is a voluntary review.
