A love triangle romance that is a quick listen. Sammy was a fun and relatable character. There was a lot of depth to her character which. This is part of a series but worked as a stand alone for me.

Max Monroe has done it again with the banter filled story about Sammy, aka Brooke’s sister from Accidental Attachment, and her journey from recently divorced to lusting after two different men.

Tropes:

💜 Love triangle of sorts
💜 Single mom
💜 He falls first

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice level: 🌶️
Angst level: 💔.5

Sammy has sworn off relationships after her ex husband was a complete piece of garbage and the fact that her life is an absolute mess. From her seven year old without a filter and her five her adventurous five year, she has her hands full.

So when she finds herself in like with two completely different guys - she finds herself confused and even more overwhelmed. One guy is giving her attention and the other one isn’t giving any signs that he’s into her.

I am being intentionally vague about her MMC as to not spoil which one she ends up with, even though I’m sure you will guess it early on!

As usual with a Max Monroe novel, we are getting all the banter. But my favorite laugh out loud parts were Sammy’s internal thoughts about her kids. She is SO real and definitely feeling the stress that us moms feel 24/7. I felt her character so relatable in that sense.

There is one side character that I am hoping we see find their HEA! Crossing my fingers!

This was a great listen and glad I chose it for my first audiobook of the year. Thank you so much to the author Max Monroe for letting me listen to it in NetGalley.

The characters are wonderful and I instantly loved them. The story is filled with humor which makes it so much fun. I love the two men options as the MFC love interest. They keep you guessing on who will be the better fit. Deep down you know who it’s going to be though.

I will definitely be reading more by this author. This book was a great palette cleanser and just leaves you happy.

Technically a stand alone and not part of a series, but I would recommend reading [book:Accidental Attachment|125069207] before reading this.

Single mom Sammy is always overwhelmed. Her two young boys and her demanding job keep her busy. She doesn't have time for a relationship. Suddenly there are two men in her life, trying to make it easier. She starts to realize that maybe a person would help matters instead of making it worse. But which one?

Noah is basically perfection. It is worth reading this book for him alone.

I really liked that the characters in this book are older- in their 40s. And I also appreciated that there was no insta-love. And despite there being a love quadrangle, it was not the focus. It was in the background.

The audiobook is narrated by Sebastian York and Elizabeth Louise. Both did an excellent job.

I received an advance audio copy in exchange for an honest review.

THANK YOU NETGALLEY AND MAX MONROE FOR THIS AUDIO ARC!!!!
1. This series is sooooo fun.
2. I’m addicted to Max Monroe stories.
3. This is a sexy as hell story.
4. I cannot choose a Max Monroe book boyfriend. They are all so wonderful. Instead, I will opt to adopt Seth Brown bc he’s so stinkin’ fun. I’ll take Grant, too!
5. Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York did a spectacular job in their narration.

Cluelessly Yours is the newest standalone from author duo Max Monroe. This one has a divorced, single mom heroine who wakes up in a hospital next to her boyfriend/the man she loves after they were both in an accident…and oh yeah, a woman saying she’s his girlfriend and is pregnant is there too!

I’ve read the last few releases from this author duo and this one ended up just being okay for me. There was a little too many pop culture references, which I feel like ends up just aging a book and I’m never really a fan of. I also felt like it was obvious to see where the story was going to go/how it would unfold after the reveal in the beginning. I wasn’t a fan of going back in time for the entirety of the book to see “how they got there” to then catch back up with present day.

I feel like this author duo has its audience for sure, it just might not be me and I’ve given a few of their books a try now to discover that. This one was okay, just not for me.

I received an audio ALC from NetGalley, all thoughts in this review are my own. Cluelessly Yours is out January 13, 2024!

Review📔

This book almost made me pee my pants from laughing so hard. It was properly hilarious, and I couldn’t stop smiling. The main character is a freshly divorced single mom who absolutely melted my heart. I could definitely relate to so many things the FMC struggled with. This was a love triangle of sorts, but not to worry, it’s not what you think. Nice guys can finish first! 😉 I loved the whole book from start to finish! If you are looking for an extremely fun and absolutely hilarious read-pick this up!

I really need to read more Max Monroe because they write the cutest dang stuff. I'm constantly smiling and laughing through their stories even when I'm an angsty mess because I hate love triangles. This story was just fantastic and I couldn't get enough.

I loved Sammy and her guy who shall not be named. When we find out that one of them screws her over in the prologue I found myself struggling over who to root for... Was it the handsome Dr with girls falling at his feet or the sweet businessman who seemed to be at her beck and call? It was a whirlwind of wild as we got down to the bottom of it, but I absolutely loved how it turned out.

I also adored having Brooke and Chase back and so present, I just love them and they played such a fun part of Sammy's story.

The audio was fantastic. I adore Sebastian York and loved new to me, Elizabeth Louise. The first part is narrated by Elizabeth and then the second part is narrated by one of the guys and then the third is narrated by both, which I thought was a fun set up.

Read this if you like:
•Chandler Bing (RIP)
•Single Parent
•Doctor
•Friends to lovers

Find yourself a doctor. That’s all. Jkjk. This book was so sweet. Might be my favorite of this series so far. Sammy the single mother & Noah is a bachelor doctor who become friends. Sammy’s meddling sister is fantastic too. This was a blast

Thank you Max Monroe for ALC in exchange for an honest review!

⭐️⭐️⭐️½

This was a cute and fun read! As always, Max Monroe made me laugh out loud with this book. Sammy's two boys were hilarious and cute, especially because they are not my kids. Haha!

Max Monroe wrote a book boyfriend who made me swoon over and over. Noah was a dream come true for Sammy. He was a kind, caring, and thoughtful man who understood Sammy's needs as a single mother.

I liked how the story started - with a dramatic hospital scene. It then went back in time to bring the readers up to that scene in the hospital. I thought it was a clever way to start the book and tell their story.

It was nice to see Brooke and Chase from Accidental Attachment again!

Overall, this was an enjoyable read with a cute HEA for Sammy and her family.

I received an audio copy of this book through Net Galley for an honest review.

Honestly, this book was so good, so riveting that I have found a new favorite authors. This is the second book I have read authored by this dynamic duo. If you like/ love romance, get these books people! Best Frenemies was also 5 stars for me.

This is a dual timeline, it begins with a current time then goes to a month before, then goes back to current time. I enjoyed every minute of this gem!

Sammy is a divorced mom of 2 wild boys and her life is a mess. She has interest from 2 different guys, Gavin a businessman and Noah a doctor. There are of course all kinds of crazy things that happen as she falls in love with one of them Another fun story by Max Monroe.

When reading romance novels with characters based in their 30s and 40s, I have conflicted feelings. I truly adore having characters to relate to as I am currently mid 30s, and am constantly rooting for their HEA. BUT at the same time it makes me sad that it took them so long to find their happy ending. This book is no different. This is my second from Max Monroe, and my second 5 star. The characters are SO real, the storyline is told so perfectly, and the banter is so top notch I literally LOL more times than I can count. As if this wasn't already an immediate favorite early on, the Friends/Legally Blonde/ Pop Culture references sealed the deal. I love the way Max Monroe carries over the characters from the other books without making them a direct sequel, but enough to see your favorite characters continuing to thrive even after their stories are done. Also, since I did the audio - I have to mention how perfect the narrators were. They brought the story to life and made you fall even more in love with the characters created. Hoping we get more from this world in the future books, because this book was truly perfection.

Seriously, these ladies can do no wrong, and I’m cluelessly in love with this book. Cluelessly Yours by Max Monroe was a fun, flirty, emotional, and spicy romcom that I devoured in one sitting. I’d been anticipating Sammy’s story since meeting her and her obnoxiously loveable sons in Accidental Attachment. Sammy and Noah’s journey to HEA was full of misunderstandings, second chances, a little meddling, and swoony moments that melted my heart.

Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York performed this audiobook in dual narration. Elizabeth was a new-to-me narrator, and I loved indulging in her voice and performance of Sammy. She captured Sammy’s vulnerabilities, fierce love for her sons, and desires for Noah, giving her an endearing tone. SebYo’s deep rich tone fully embodied loyal, dedicated, and devoted Noah. Both narrators brought wit, humor, and heat portraying Sammy and Noah’s undeniable chemistry.

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a romcom set in NYC with a hardworking single mom, a hunky charismatic anesthesiologist, two adorably needy sons, broken arm mishaps, a caring meddling sister, Central Park doggy playdates, mom’s night out, dating in your forties, false assumptions, taxi cab dangers, hospital secrets, weddings, and a HEA worth publishing, then you love Sammy and Noah’s story. I always look forward to more from Max Monroe.

Premise - a single mom wakes up in a hospital alongside the man she loves… and a pregnant woman! What?

I liked:
💕 single mother midlife protagonist
💕 humor (not laugh out loud, but an amused exhale here and there)
💕 the other woman isn’t solely blamed for the cheater’s choices
💕 the relationship between the sisters
💕 the prose isn’t distractingly purple

Didn’t love:
🖍️ the melodrama
🖍️ the weirdness with Gavin
🖍️ Noah has Amex with abs syndrome

Genre readers will love this - I think fans of Ana Huang and Colleen Hoover will eat this up. Definitely check it out if you like:

✨ single mom romance
✨ families in your romance
✨ mature MCs
✨ a little humor
✨ love triangles
✨ women with backbones

Thanks, NetGalley and the author, for the gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.
