I love these books so much, and the story between Vlad and his wife Elena is heartwarming. This book has good laughs and is a loveable second chance romance, marriage of convenience, and take of child hood friends to lovers. I felt some of the plot was weird, mainly in regard to Elena’s journalism work. However, this was a great feel-good read!

Also, Gavin’s stutter is back. I greatly appreciated this.

This was a good entry in the series. I’m glad that the one character who’s previously been a vehicle for fart jokes gets some depth in this book. I also liked that the third act conflict felt actually meaningful, compared to in other romance novels.

Pleasantly surprised by how much depth Adams was able to give a character who started out as not much more than a caricature/comic relief. The last 20% or so seemed like it was from a different book and fell a bit flat for me, but still an enjoyable read.
