I love it when he’s sunshine and she’s grumpy! Our cinnamon roll hero and our jaded heroine can’t deny the heat between them, and they do drive each other wild. Be prepared for things to be extremely hot and steamy, because, wow, it was crazy! These two, seemingly opposite, but they have an instinct, an insight, about each other. It takes her a little longer to latch onto it, and some wires get crossed, but when it works out, it is just so darn sweet and beautiful <3

ARC REVIEW! (Thanks NETGALLEY!)

Are we hot for Ned Flanders? Yeah I guess we are..

I liked this but just wanted more from both of them. There was no real backstory for either of them. Did Hazel have a job somewhere? We know she wants to become a writer but that’s all that’s ever mentioned. I wanted more non sexual scenes between them that showed Beck letting Hazel be herself and her letting her walls down- it’s said but never actually shown. I loved their emails to each other.
Loved seeing Alfie and Mabel!

Maybe I'm committing a faux pas dropping my review the day after I get a notice that the ARC exists, but I was up till almost 5am because of this book and the world needs to know how great it is.

It's sexy, it's sweet, it's funny and–most of all–it makes me not hate hetero romances.

This book is exceedingly my jam: big woman and big man, hurt by the world, doing their best for one another, but also can't keep their hands off of one another.

I cried, okay? I cried buckets at the end.

I also didn't skip the sex scenes (which would be difficult in this book, where sexual attraction is a huge factor) like I usually do. I was INVESTED. That barely ever happens for me, so when I find an author who can reel me in so fully, I'm never letting go.

Another winner from Charlotte Stein and possibly my favorite book of the year so far.

I like this cover so much. It was a cute story and the best parts were the shop talk about the publishing industry, and of course, the moments when the main characters get together! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

this was literally perfect. beck made me feel so many things. I also wanted to protect him and shield him from all the bad in the world. connie was exactly just like that, the way she loved beck and encouraged him to be his true self was so beautiful. i also loved how beck made her believe in the goodness of men and in people. the journey these two characters take throughout this book was amazing. i just loved it so much. i will be thinking about them for a while.

THIS WAS SO FREAKING HILARIOUS.

Charlotte Stein has a way of making me hyperventilate by giggling so much and I truly appreciate it. Beck is the sweetest most precious sweetest man ever and I’m obsessed with him.

This was... unfortunately, a let down. It really read like she had rushed to finish this and sent it in to her editor massively unfinished. I love a big hairy man as much as anyone else, but honestly this seemed more like ... she has an American fetish than anything. Henry was the most stereotypical American that wasn't even.. accurately American. I'm convinced she looked up "Americans in the 1930s" and went from there. I felt like John Mulaney when he says no one says "Bozo" anymore. No one says diddly bop anymore, Charlotte. Or 7000 of the other things Henry says. Also, from about 53% on, this book is just sex. That's it. Her last book I sort of didn't mind because at least the rest of the writing was good and there was plot in between but this was just... not good.
