Super cute, low drama romance with a nice (but short) sex scene. A great romcom premise! Loved having a large-bellied male lead as the typical body type you see for guys in romance and erotica (even in curvy/fat subcategory) isn't my personal preference. André's personality was just as dreamy and I liked Janelle also.
My main gripe was with the narrators. They were both good (excepting the typical slightly overdone falsetto for when Hawk was reading the women characters' lines), but their reading speeds were VERY mismatched. I had to switch back and forth between 1.2x speed for the Marissa Hampton chapters and 1.7x for the Chinua Hawk ones. Not something I've run into at that extreme in a multi-narrator book before.

Well shit, if this isn't the cutest thing I've read in a while.
This may indeed be the most wholesome thing I've read this year. The premise here is our hero and heroine are trying to adopt the same dog and end up co-parenting the dog. The two end up getting to know each other, there's instant chemistry between the two, it was believable, it was sweet, it was a little bit steamy, there is absolutely nothing that I can complain about whatsoever.
There was no heavy conflict or drama, the only time anything vaguely along those lines came up was related to exes, and it was dealt with so maturely and I was just cheering from the sidelines.
Absolute gem of a find!!
