4.5 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

I love this book! A sweet, funny, easy, chemistry-filled romance with very little angst, a quirky, lovable heroine and a whole heap of swoony alpha hero. Aurora Rose Reynolds writes such great love stories, and she\u2019s done a fantastic job with this one.<\/p>\n

Fawn Reed is over men. Dating has been a bit of a nightmare for her, and she\u2019s tired of the whole thing. She has a happy life \u2013 she loves her job as a teacher, has two fabulous sisters and supportive and loving parents, and it\u2019s while revelling in her freeness that she literally runs into Levi Fremont. They clash instantly, and though he is devastatingly gorgeous, Fawn is happy to see the back of him\u2026 until she realises that he is her brand new neighbour.<\/p>\n

Levi is a homicide detective who is moving right across the hall from Fawn. He is immediately attracted to his quirky, clumsy neighbour, but she seems to be going to extremes to have nothing to do with him. Being the smooth, confident alpha that he is, Levi takes all of this in his stride, knowing that he\u2019ll eventually get Fawn to drop her shields, he just needs to be patient.<\/p>\n

Fawn tries to hide her attraction to Levi, oblivious to the fact that he is feeling the same towards her. It takes a series of accidental meetings and dog-initiated encounters for them to actually spend any time together, and the chemistry between them sizzles each and every time they are together. The fall into \u2018something more\u2019 is natural, easy and well paced. There\u2019s no jumping into anything, they admit their feelings, they act on it, and they just go with it, and it\u2019s all so incredibly awesome! Fawn is fantastic. She\u2019s sweet, funny and relatable, and her quirkiness is endearing. I thought she handled herself so well. And though she has her doubts and concerns, Levi guides her through it, and the man is just sensational \u2013 sexy and alpha but sweet with a huge heart, I absolutely love him and the no-nonsense way he went about pursuing Fawn.<\/p>\n

After knocking on Levi\u2019s door, I don\u2019t even have a second to wait before he\u2019s pulling me through the door and shutting it behind me. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d I ask his back as he drags me across the living room.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to make out.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat?\u201d I squeak as he pulls me into his bedroom and kicks the door closed.
\n\u201cYour dog\u2019s taking up the couch, so we\u2019re going to make out in here.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And together they are absolutely magic. Funny, sweet, honest and sincere, and of course seriously hot, their teasing, banter and occasional snark is so much fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop checking me out and making me all dizzy when I\u2019m annoyed with you.\u201d
\n\u201cI make you dizzy?\u201d I smile smugly, and she huffs, blowing a piece of hair out of her face. \u201cI can\u2019t help it, baby. Swear to god, you\u2019re adorable when you\u2019re flustered, but when you\u2019re pissed, you\u2019re fucking exquisite.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I could feel every emotional moment between them, and I fell in love right alongside them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m lost in you, baby \u2026 so fucking unbelievably lost in you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s added hilarity with both of their families all up in their business in highly inappropriate ways, and with some stories already setting up nicely for Fawn and Levi\u2019s siblings, I\u2019m so hoping that we get to see more of them in future books. And the touch of drama that comes from Levi’s job does a nice job of adding some interest without overwhelming the story.<\/p>\n

I loved this book! It\u2019s a quick read that is fun, funny, sweet and sexy with a gorgeous romance. There\u2019s no unnecessary drama or angst, and I truly enjoyed every moment of Levi and Fawn\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

A fantastic read \u2013 4.5 stars.<\/p>\n
