Reviews with content warning for Abandonment - Love Flushed

I really enjoyed this! I devoured it all in one day, literally a one sitting type of situation, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the all access series continues on with this friend group. 1st it was Frankie now it is Annie next it’ll be either Mai or Flo and I’m pleasantly excited to see what else Evie Mitchell has for us. I like how she has lessons for able-bodied people within her story but there’s no beating over the head with anything and that these characters other than a little bit of able ism get to just live their life and do their thing and thrive with their businesses and their love lives and it’s just wonderful I love the diversity I love the inclusivity I love the representation and it’s fun and sexy and such a damn good time.

This book was so different from Knot My Type, but I loved the way we reconciled this couple. I wasn't a huge fan of Annie in book one, but she really grew on me in her own novel and it was really great to see her character grow. Even though there were some really heavy topics dealt with, I didn't feel like the storyline was bogged down. I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

The concept of this book is so cute! Paper mill owner falls for toilet paper company founder, it’s such a classical perfect romcom set up.
It is clear that the author has a ton of knowledge/did copious research about toilet paper. However there were hugely disappointing plot points regarding business ownership. Specifically the business deals the love interests make, just hurt me. One of Lincoln’s big concerns is how many people in the community his business employees and given that it is Annie’s community too you would think the two might discuss that while discussing a deal. But Lincoln doesn’t even talk to her, he just sends her paperwork? Where were the lawyers? Annie’s business is worth 3 million and Lincoln’s business employees 200 people, there would be so many lawyers. I don’t think i remember the center half of the book I was so frustrated by these business deals being dumb. Like the couple is cute, and I love a good second chance romance, but this story had so much interesting potential and was ruined by a lack of detail/research regarding basic business deals. At least one of the next potential books subjects also owns a business so I'm suddenly fearful for the rest of the series.

Oooo this was good. Annie and Link have a passed and broods with long looks and frustration. The Chronic Illness rep.
Brilliant! (kisses the air)
The Author has written between the fine line of being a super warrior queen and maudlin. That line where Annie (who has crohn's disease) can be both at the same time.
Flare Ups come at a cost, and Good Days are for doing all the things.
I was especially moved by the line.
"I've survived my own body trying to kill me - do you have any idea how bad ass that is?"
As someone who has a chronic illness that tries to kill me, i praise that line and will be stealing it for further use.
This is not just a book about living Chronic Illness though, the heat between these 2 is electric, he eats her out when she is mad at him, what more do you want.
The All Access series is a real treat and I can't wait to read more.

P.S. There is reference to a certain 1995 version of Persuasion. YES IT IS THE BEST!!!!
