There’s no perfect comparison, but honestly, she gave me major Mr. Magoo vibes—in the best way possible! She's out there doing her best, but somehow always tripping into the chaos (and occasionally into Justin's arms, which… I mean, yes please).
And Justin? Whew. He’s that perfect mix of sexy, silly, and surprisingly sincere. A total goofball with a heart of gold. The chemistry between him and Magee was chef’s kiss—equal parts hilarious and heartwarming.
This book had me full-on laughing, groaning, swooning, and occasionally yelling at the pages (lovingly, of course). The banter? Sharp. The awkward moments? Delicious. The emotional payoff? So satisfying.
If you're in the mood for a rom-com that leans into the chaos, brings the laughs, and delivers a couple you can root for, this one’s a total win. Highly recommend for fans of humor, heart, and just a bit of mayhem....more

Casey is allCasey and Landon reminded me of the ultimate odd couple — like a rambunctious Jack Russell Terrier paired with a calm, gentle Great Dane. Casey is all energy, mischief, and quick wit, while Landon brings the steady, grounding presence that balances him out perfectly. They're total opposites, and yet somehow, an ideal match.
I listened to the audiobook and found myself looking for excuses to drive just so I could keep going. Their story had me completely hooked. The chemistry, the banter, the emotional depth — it all just worked.
There were so many great quotes, I could probably fill a notebook. But one that absolutely stuck with me was: "I thought goalies saw everything. I’m fucking bananas about you, Stacks." That line just had me smiling a big goofy smile!
The journey these two go on together is monumental, full of growth, vulnerability, and connection. It’s easily become one of my favorite MM reads, and one I know I’ll be recommending for a long time....more
"It’s like looking into the open maw of a shark, feeling the terror of the bite to come and simultaneously thinking, my God, your fangs are beautiful."It’s like looking into the open maw of a shark, feeling the terror of the bite to come and simultaneously thinking, my God, your fangs are beautiful."
This line perfectly captures the intensity and contradiction at the heart of this dark and captivating story. While mafia romance isn't typically my go-to genre, I've been exploring it more lately — and I’m so glad I gave this one a chance.
Elio is one of the most compelling anti-heroes I’ve come across recently — scarred, broken, and yet utterly magnetic. Emotionally and physically damaged, he pulls you into his world like a riptide. Dierdre, his "Songbird," is young, beautiful, and deceptively strong, and their connection is as twisted as it is undeniable.
"I shouldn’t like any of this. You’ve broken something inside me. Made me as twisted as you." This quote perfectly echoes how I felt while reading — torn between revulsion and fascination, unable to look away.
I loved watching the layers peel back on both characters, revealing not just their pasts but the dark, complicated bond forming between them. The writing is visceral, emotional, and immersive, and I genuinely can't wait to dive into Book 2. I need to know what happens next!...more
