Jenn (The Book Refuge)'s Reviews > The Proposal Play

This is one of my favorite Friends to Lovers Romances I have read all year! Asher & Maeve were just so in sync and such good friends. I loved them together SO much!

I loved how well they communicated (for the most part), how well they supported each other and I LOVED how they fell in love. Because it honestly felt so real. Maybe not their reasoning for a Vegas marriage and staying married seemed a bit *too* convenient, but I was sold by just how adorable they were together.

They knew one another so well and had been there through thick and thin. Everyone kinda knows they are meant to be and is just waiting for them to catch up. There's a specific moment when Asher finally realizes how gone he's been and for how long... it was so touching. They were just perfect.

This series from Lauren Blakely has just been so great! Low angst but high fun and great connections. It doesn't feel all about the spice even though the steam in here is VERY good. It all feels so intense because of their feelings for one another and I love that. I'm really excited she's announced 5 books total.

Narrated by Vanessa Edwin & Robert Hatchet in duet style! They were just a delight!

5 stars
3.5 on the spice scale
