Seriously, this is on my all-time favorites and comfort reads lists. I honestly don't have enough words to express my deep love for this book. 
Whenever I return to Iris and Declan's love story, something broken heals inside me. I'm humbled by the growth we see in both characters, their devotion to each other at each stage of their relationship, and the space they create to support, challenge, and wait for each other. 

- grumpy x sunshine
- he's all-in and she's commitment-phobic  
- plants, plants, plants + dog
- raw, honest internal growth + consistent effort to make amends
- marriage of convenience + fake dating + office romance
- CAL! Oh how I love Cal in this book

It's a masterpiece -- everything you want in a sweeping romance. 
Better and better every time I read it. 
Run, don't walk. You won't be disappointed (but definitely read The Fine Print first for the best experience!).

Slow burn, but worth the wait. There was a good plot in the book that was unique and I loved the way Asher intertwined the characters in the other books. The ending is predictable, but not until like the LAST part of the book. It was the kind of predictable that was sweet but not super cheesy.

I loved the main male character of this book. I thought that he was well thought out and written well. I also read this book quickly and felt like it did have a good base. I liked it a lot better than the first book in the series. I did have a slight issue with the description of the  main female characters Dyslexia. As someone who has dyslexia I felt like it was a decent representation as the learning disability, but I also feel like it didn’t do justice to how students can be successful. I also found it semi funny that dyslexia was a common theme in the book but the book itself wasn’t even printed in a dyslexic friendly font. Overall it was a good book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes soft romance novels.

Lauren Asher sure knows how to grab your attention with another fantastic rom-com. It was refreshing to see that not everything was resolved with Declan, and I enjoyed seeing the family dynamics on all sides. Cal may be my favourite of the Kane brothers.

Spice:🌶🌶🌶

I'm not really a fan of fake marriage or the pregnancy trope but I enjoyed this book and I think the fact that she didn't get pregnant until the epilogue played a huge part in that. 

At first I didn't really know how to feel about Declan because even though I usual  love the silent, brooding type, I hated the way he treated Iris and then he seemed to do a complete 180. It felt a little sudden but I really liked him towards the ends. I really liked Iris from the beginning and her relationship with her mother and grandmother was just amazing! I also absolutely adored Cal. He was such a good friend to Iris and I'm really glad he didn't have any ulterior motives.
