4.5 stars!

“I know you by heart.”

I loved Neanderthal Seeks Human so I was so excited to hear there would be more of Janie and Quinn! And it was fantastic. I loved getting more of Janie’s hilarious antics and Quinn’s alpha nature. Neanderthal Marries Human was full of heart, humor, and steam, and a charming addition to their story.

Janie and Quinn have been dating for about five months and it has been bliss. Quinn is always taking her breath away, treating her wonderfully, and they have an amazing relationship that is everything she wants. However, one moment changes everything. When Quinn pops the question it catches Janie completely off guard and they realize there are things they must work through if they want their HEA. What follows is a wildly entertaining journey to the alter.

“…we’re having a big wedding so we can be miserable together before we’re happy together.”

I loved it! It is laugh-out-loud funny and super sweet. There is so much jam packed in this book and I ate it all up. Everything from the humorous interactions to the sweet and sexy moments to even the more serious situations, I loved it all.

Quinn is such a gentleman and totally swoony. His ever present protective streak and alpha tendencies were fantastic. I loved how completely head over heels he was for Janie. Quinn would do anything for her to make her happy and to take care of her. I adored how he was genuinely interested in her and everything that came out of her mouth not matter how OTT it was. He’s not a simple character though and I loved that there was more to him than meets the eye. I hated the guilt and pain he harbored inside and all I wanted to do was take that pain away exactly like Janie was able to do.

“How do you do that?” His question was quiet, reverent.
“Do what?”
“How do you make everything better?”
My forehead wrinkled as we studied each other. “What did I make better?…”
“You make me better.”

Janie was geeky and wonderful as always. She put a permanent smile on my face the entire book with her fun and quirky personality. There isn’t a person who wouldn’t love Janie from the beginning. I loved not knowing what was going to come out of her mouth next and how she had to analyze everything. The kooky thoughts about getting married so quickly and her behavior surrounding the wedding had me laughing-out-loud.

“My brain was at war with…my brain. My heart and my body were ambivalent. It was all brain-on-brain brawling.

Even with the change in status, their relationship is as solid as ever and the chemistry is still scorching. They can’t keep their hands off each other and it is entertaining to watch them try. They trust each other and are loyal and honest, and I loved them together.

Like all Reid novels, the side characters are amazing and each played an important part in Janie and Quinn’s lives and I loved them. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next books in the series and see where everyone ends up! Overall, another great rom com by Penny Reid.

“Loving unconditionally brings only joy.”

*Note: I listened to the audio version and it was fantastic! Janie’s narrator was wonderful and we also get Quinn’s POV narrated by the talented Sebastian York!! I highly recommend this audio!
