This book was a nice cross over book for the Valentine and Rose family. I am happy Lance and Allison wedding was apart of this book. I need to read the Rose series because I am interested in that set of brothers. I still feel like my favorite book is the first one. I will be reading the other books in the series.

This was a short, but convoluted little crossover book. I was 3 books into the Valentine series and 3 books into the Rose series. Not sure if that is the best way to read them, but it is what it is.
I hadn't read the books in a while, so it took me a while to get the lay of the land. There were a LOT of people in this book. There was way too much going on at once. I didn't remember anything about the King of Whatever being in previous books. Then all of the King's children were mentioned. Between the Rose's, the Valentine's the royalty, and the spouses, I was confused.
I was kind of surprised at the way the restaurant and subsequent hospital situation played out at the beginning. Can we say too much drama? Especially between people that didn't really know one another. But, it was interesting how it worked out after I read further into the book. I was glad that the basis of Jonathan and Lance's feud was restated, because I did not remember what caused the feud.
This was a face paced read that had a lot going on, but ended in a resolution of issues, some celebratory news, a possible new beginning, and a Christmas HEA.

A great holiday read
She does it again. Every time I think a series can’t get any better it does. I loved catching up with everyone and seeing where life has taken them. I see more characters being added and can’t wait to read their stories.

I think this was needed to understand the rift between the two families albeit petty it was relatable. I’m glad we got an update on Trevor and why the daddy acted so nosey. I don’t think the problem with some of the Rose men gave or took away from the story. Definitely wasn’t need(Jordan)

I didn’t enjoy this as much because there were just way to much happening. We got glimpses of the life of many mcs but also side characters from the last three books as well as new characters.
I found it a little too much and therefor couldn’t enjoy this as much. I do however still very much look forward to the next book.

Most Friendships do end in misunderstandings and or miscommunication. I am glad they were able to clear up the misunderstanding and become brothers again. I enjoyed this mix of the two families. I have not read the Roses but they seem quite the men just like the Valentines. Great story.

4 stars. This was more like a novella of slice of life moments for all of the couples so far (and a future couple) but I’m not even mad. I adored this and it was really cute. It mainly is about Claudia and Jaden who are from Norris’s Falling for a Rose series which I haven’t read yet but I’m really excited to because they are an established couple here and I need to read their book and get their backstory. I thought they were great. Claudia is very head strong and Jaden was super laid back and sweet. It was so great catching up with the Valentine men and their ladies. I especially loved seeing Hunter and Camilla from book one. No spoilers but it was super cute! This was a fun read and it sets up book five perfectly which will follow Raphael and Bri and I’m super excited to get to their story.
