ARC Review! I received an arc from the author, Sophie Andrews, in exchange for an honest review!!
Yeah, I loved it. This was superlative. From the moment they meet to the last page of the book, I was enthralled by their chemistry and their story. Wes and Maggie were absolutely perfect together.
I loved how open Wes was with his feelings and what he wanted. I loved that Maggie was more guarded. Usually, it's reversed, and it was so refreshing to read it this way.
I LOOOOVED their little family and the dynamic they created. It was literally so sweet. And God, Wes?? Could step on me, and I'd thank him for his time. I think he's like in the ten book boyfriends for me now.
Maggie, my love, was just lovely. She knew what she wanted and she went for it. She was working for herself and provided for herself. She was strong and capable and amazing. Just amazing.
No complaints. Not. A. One.

Review as posted on the wordy habitat:
Tangled Expectations was another "eh, it's okay" book. Wes and Maggie meet in a bar and have a one-night stand. Both hope to have more but fate intervenes and they are left with no way to contact each other. Months later, Wes meets Maggie on the street and does whatever he can to keep her.
I was not a fan of the male lead. Wes had a saviour complex which was not funny or endearing like it was meant to be. Maggie had familial trauma which was weirdly represented—it defined her and yet there wasn't much depth to the topic. I could not feel the chemistry between the two and I couldn't care less about their romance.
The premise had potential but the writing and the characters missed the mark. I wasn't impressed.

I love Wes and Maggie.
What started off as a one night stand ended up being so much more. Wes patience and love for Maggie helped break the barrier of trust between the two of them. You were able to see their relationship develop and felt part of their story.
I really enjoyed their story. Her family was so annoying by the way.

This book was a really nice read! It was a bit too insta love in my opinion and I thought Wes was very eager to be with someone he’d only met once before. But I loved the bonds between Wes and Maggie and all their family. Would pick this up again
