This was cute. Brooke is a fantasy writer and drunk off the disappointment of writing a terrible spin off, she attaches her own personal manuscript of the things she wants to do to her editor on accident at deadline. The worst part is that he loves it and immediately pushes it through to publication while she marinates in her own horror.
Since the turnaround time is so short, she ends up sharing an RV with this man so they can work on edits in between her scheduled book tour and this does truly wonderful things for both her crush on him and her chronic condition where her blood pressure will literally lay her out if she gets too triggered. They of course keep everything totally profesh except for the part where they start hooking up at the end of the tour.
I loved Chase. He was never anything other than her number one cheerleader and spoke of her with admiration both in his mental dialogue and any opportunity he had out loud. He did stand to benefit from the book but this book didn't feel transactional at all. He thought the book was going to do well so he wasn't worried about the rest of it.
Narration: She had Joe Arden work on this one. 'Nuff said. I do very much wish it was duet though because CJ's Chase voice sounded a smidge smarmy at 2.0 speed and it hurts me to say that.

Boooooooooooooring
Good god, how do you manage to write an entire book where absolutely NOTHING happens??? And if it’s going to be about nothing, at least make it short. This book was about 20 chapters too long.
Seriously, my five year old niece can tell me a better story than this.

If liked Book Lovers by Emily Henry then I think you will adore this witty romance! I love Brooke's way of speaking and over analyzing it makes me feel so comfortable to identify that so much as a reader and person who does it! Chase is your ultimate bad boy and is actually a marshmallow lol. I love Benji he deserves his own novella! I kind of knew where this was going with the list and etc. I wish they had talked it out instead of leaving each other. I would read her sister and the doctor's love story next. I highly recommend this and thank you Netgalley for this ARC, These words are my own.

This is a fun, entertaining, good read. Chase and Brooke are interesting, relatable, complex, wounded, intriguing, captivating, entertaining characters. I enjoyed them as individuals and a couple. I loved their time on page together – they are so much fun together. The path to their HEA was not easy but is entertaining to read. I also loved the interaction between Brooke and her dog – its not only a good representation of mental health but also of dog lovers. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.
I enjoyed the audio version of this book and the narrators.

I thought this book was cute. Normally I love audiobooks but, in this case, I think I might’ve liked the story better if I read it myself. I did not care for the female MC’s narration. CJ Bloom has a distinctive style and a nice voice. I just felt her enunciation was too perfectly clipped and possible too “emote-y” for this book. I did like Joe Arden’s interpretation of the mail MC.
As far as the actual book content, it was cute. Cute service dog, cute close proximity situation. No deep dive in character and not really a lot of chemistry for most of the book. It seemed as though an inordinate amount of dialog was devoted to references to pee, poop and puke there for a while.

Kindle Unlimited book. This was a nice lighthearted little read. No drama. A little spice.

I am a fan of this duo’s writing. Having read all of their books, I can say I’m addicted to their comedic content. This book didn’t live up to what I expect from them. It took me way to long to finish it because it’s too long. If they edited out the grossly repetitive mentions of how Brooke accidentally submitted a book about her secret crush on Chase, it would probably be a normal length book. It seemed as if, once per every Brook chapter, that fact was mentioned. It’s unnecessary. If it were a drinking game, and I had to take a shot every time Brooke mentions her writing a book about her secret crush, I’d have to go to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.
Then when they do get into a fight, 6000 pages of over the top sweetness ends and the gloves come off. The angry words seemed forced from two people who were so perfectly perfect.
I checked out 1/2 way through because I felt I was just reading the same words over and over. At one point, I even wondered if this was their Garden of Forever.
I was sent this advanced copy for an honest review. Maybe it just wasn’t for me.

The premise was very interesting. The "forced to stay together" trope is... forced, though.
There is a flaw in the book, that the book kind of admits to... showcasing MMC as a perfection with no flaws.... pardon me, there is a "flaw", but not really
