Minor: Cursing

This Wasn't The Plan by Kallista Kohl

 Some Spoilers
Reid has 100% jumped to the top of my favorite book boyfriends!! Sabrina and Reid make such a cute/spicy couple whom I loved reading about. They have such a flirty, emotional relationship with a bit of temper on both sides. The Dual perspectives were a nice touch since Sabrina's hard-headedness had me wanting to tear my hair out on some bits!
I'm not giving 5 stars because I thought there was a ton of flirty/steamy build-up between them before they FINALLY got together, but the 🌶️ scenes were super short ( in my opinion) I was expecting a bit more. However, The sweet happy ending fluff more than made up for what I thought was lacking. By the end, I was giggling at how adorable they were.   I was able to read a free ARC thanks to Booksirens and am leaving this review voluntarily.
