Against All Odds by Corinne Michaels is live! 

When my ex-husband leaves me for the co-star in his movie, moving back to Ember Falls feels like my only option.

Everett Finnegan, my first love and the man I’ve never forgotten, is ready to welcome me with open arms…and an open bed.

But when I find out I’m pregnant with my ex’s baby, my entire world is upended.

My ex doesn’t want the baby, but I plan to rebuild my life as a single mother and figure out how to handle all of this alone.

Except that I don’t seem to be alone―Everett always shows up for me.

I don’t expect him to get mixed up in all my drama―not when he has his own. And I wish he would listen to me when I say we have to stop whatever it is we’re doing.

But he wants me, the baby, and my heart.

So when I’m forced to return to California sooner than planned, I’m devastated.

Everett can’t leave Ember Falls, and I can’t stay.

Saying goodbye to him the first time was hard enough. This time, it just might break me.

***** 5 Absolutely Incredible Stars *****

I know one thing for sure and two things for certain:
1. Corinne Michaels is one of my all time favorite authors.
2. Against All Odds is one of my favorite books. I’ve read this year.

If you take anything from this review that I’m sure will be so so very long because I have a lot to say about what I LOVED about this book, it should be that you need to read this book this very second. You need to read it, love it, embrace it, and jump heart first into the world of Ember Falls. I promise you that you will not regret jumping into this book with Violet and Everett. They are truly everything and they will steal your heart from the very first pages of this book. I promise you that. That in so much more!

Now it is no secret that this author and this series are two of my favorites. I have read every book by Corinne, Michaels and every book of her has been a five star read. Her books have made me cry, they’ve made me laugh, they’ve made me melt and swoon and blush, but more than that they’ve given me incredible reading experiences that I’ve never forgotten. They’ve given me love stories that are epically, beautiful, and heart touching in every way. They’ve just given me everything and more with her characters. I can still tell you what I felt reading that first book of hers. I can still tell you what I felt reading the 20th book of hers that I had the pleasure of reading. And I can definitely tell you what I felt reading Against All Odds because I love this book with my whole heart. It made me love everything with these characters, it completely immersed me in their beautiful love story, and it just reminded me over and over again why this author is one of my all-time favorites.

Two of my favorite tropes on this planet are second chance romance and whoopsie baby plots. So when those two incredible tropes get to be combined into a book, I’m sold. Throw in the fact that one of my favorite authors ever is writing those tropes and combining it with a small town magic that I love so much about her books? Well, I am there and I am LOVING it. And honestly? That’s just scratching the surface of what I loved about this book with Everett and Violet. Those two are the definition of two people who are so inherently right for each other and finally get the chance to see that second chance through at the exact right time. This book definitely throws some curveballs at them, but they are determined to do it together, to show each other that a second chance as possible, that this is their time, and to finally get the happily ever after that they both so deserve.

Now I have to give it to Corinne Michaels because just when I think I have found my favorite hero of hers, she goes and throws another one at me and I’m torn at who I love most. I mean I’m not really torn because I like collecting boyfriends like it’s my job, and this author truly has a talent of making me fall in love with the heroes of her world. And Everett Finnegan was definitely the hero in this book and boy did I love him. With my whole heart. I melted over the acts of service that man was bound into determined to give to Violet. But more than that I just loved how much he loved Violet, how determined he was to show her that this was the place that she was meant to be in and that he was destined to be part of her life. I loved how much he showed up for those he cared and loved about. I loved how he was willing to wait for her no matter what. I loved how much he just loved her with his whole heart and everything that came from her because that love was pure and real and absolutely beautiful. I just loved how generous and kind and funny of a man he was and I was just smitten through this whole book. I mean that man had me in tears, melting at others, and just absolutely loving him from start to finish in this book. I really can’t say that enough.

He is definitely my new favorite hero from the world of Ember Falls (don’t worry Miles, I still love you!) and I truly cannot say enough, how much this man swept my heart and Violet’s heart off their feet while reading this book. There is no resisting that man. And you will just bask in the moments with him as you see his vulnerability, as you see his determination and generosity firsthand, and as you see him willing to do whatever it takes to be with a woman he knows is his soulmate.

Now Violet is her own force to be reckoned with, and my heart went to her from the very first page of this book. There is a true honesty and depth that you get with her character that pulls you in fiercely, that has you loving her adamantly, and in every way, and that shows you that she has been through it. She has a heart of gold that girl. She is a woman who has always felt in a way like an afterthought. Like she’s in the shadows, like she’s not the first choice. And she has the trust issues to prove it. When her trust is broken once again and she is sent reeling, she goes to the only place that has ever felt like home, the small and incredible town of Ember Falls. What she finds in that town is not only a place to take some deep breaths and regroup, but the man who stole her heart over a decade ago. Right next door. Her feelings for Everett are still right there, and very very real, but she’s scared of taking a chance and reopening the doors to her heart once again.

Over the course of this book, the connection you feel to Violet strengthens as she puts the pieces of herself and her heart back together, as she tries to make sense of all of the emotions that are thrown her way, and as she navigate an unexpected path she didn’t plan on finding herself on. What I loved about Violet’s character is that not only was she’s so real and genuine, but I found her and her story to be so easy to connect to. Her trust issues, her vulnerability, and her reluctance to risk something if it’s not real or permanent, or something that I connected to in every way while reading her story and journeying through those emotions with her. I myself have not had the experiences she had, but with the way this author wrote her character and her journey, I understood and felt and breathed and lived every breath of what her character went through. I got it and I got her and I just felt completely with her in this story rooting for her with all my heart because that girl deserves the best.

She deserves the best of everything. My heart could not have been happier in this book getting to see Everett show up for her and show her that she is the only choice for him, seeing him show her that they were meant to be, and showing her that she was always meant to be in the light basking in the love of those around her. (Especially his…and especially the love of her people in Ember Falls.)

Everett and Violet are definitely the best kind of second chance romance. Those two have a fiery connection, there are so much heart between them, and that love is right there on the surface from the moment they reunited. They have their fair share of hard conversations and things they must figure out, but through it all there is something so right and true about the two of them. You feel that in your bones reading this book. You feel it in the moments they show up for each other. You show it in those easy moments of laughter and jokes. You feel it in those heavier moments of emotions and vulnerable moments. You feel it in the hard truths and in the ease of the two of them together and the rightness of what could be for them. Do you feel it in the moment where they literally cannot keep their hands off of one another and that fire ignites off the pages of this book. You feel it in every breath of what they share, and it adds to the feeling you have while reading this book that they have to find their way.

These two are truly 2 halves of the same whole and they complete each other. They are meant to be. They are meant to take the second chance together and getting to see them do just that in this book was absolutely everything. They are the personification of first loves realizing that their love is the love they were always meant to have and hold onto.

Now it is also no secret that the world of Ember Falls is truly my happy place. This small town is firmly where I want to live out my days. Because there is magic in the town limits of this place. Let me tell you. Because the characters of this world, the friendships and the found family that all of these characters have created together is absolutely incredible. The way these characters show up for each other, the way they poke fun at each other in the best way, and the way they also have such shared history with one another is absolutely amazing to experience. They personify the idea that you don’t have to share blood to be family and to show up and mean it. With every breath in your body. That idea was solidified again and again in this book. Combine that with towns people who know everything about you, those hilarious group text threads, and the fact that this town is just something special makes this series one that I never want to have end.

Truly.

It will be a sad day for me when I’m no longer in the world of these characters in these books because Ember Falls Virginia is truly a special place. Corinne Michaels knows how to write a small town. She is the queen of that in my opinion. She embodies the magic of a small town, the magic of connection and friendship, and the way that people show up for each other in those places. She also perfectly captures the essence of what it’s like to live in a place that is so special and that is truly like a character in and of itself. And all well doing that, she gives you the most beautiful and epic love story that will truly steal your heart. If that doesn’t make a must read small town romance, then I don’t know what does.

Against All Odds is one of my top reads of the year. This book was everything my heart needed. It’s like the world knew I needed a second chance romance with a whoopsie baby plot by one of my favorite authors, and Boy did all of that come to fruition in this book. I loved every second. I got with these characters. From the moment I started this book, I didn’t move because I just literally read this book. I read it. I felt it. I lived it with these characters. And I relished in the two of them getting a second chance at what could be.

The second chance that Violet and Everett share in this book is absolutely breathtaking. It is beautiful and emotional on every level and it just shows that sometimes the right time finally comes around for the right people. Everett and Violet are the definition of the two most perfect people for one another finally getting that chance at that happily ever after and what was meant to be, and it is absolutely everything getting to be in the thick of that over the course of this book.

The two of them have been through it, they each have their complications and flaws, but over the course of this book they help each other heal and put the pieces of their hearts back together again. They help each other see the light and find their way back to one another. They help each other embrace what has always been between them, and what they know in the deepest parts of their hearts: that they are meant to be. Their love and connection with one another is beautiful, real, and very deeply felt. You will love getting to see the two of them fight like hell to see if second chances truly do exist. (And spoiler alert, they really do. And they’re fucking amazing…especially with Violet & Everett.)

I truly can’t say enough good things about this book and how much I loved it. It is no secret that I love this world of characters, and that I’m a huge fan of this author. And this book just solidified that love even more. I was blown away by what I got with these characters, every moment from laughing and spooning and tearing up at the emotions and blushing from the spice of it all, but more than that, I was just in love with the love. I loved the love that Violet and Everett shared, and I loved getting to see them, put the pieces of themselves and their hearts back together again page by page in this book.

The way they showed up for each other, the way they were honest with each other, the way they just understood and got each other fully through everything that came their way was outstanding. It was perfection. It was what my heart didn’t even know it needed. I could not have loved those two more and what they gave me in this book, and getting to be with them as they put in the hard work, as they felt it all, and as they built the family that they both so desperately wanted and needed…was nothing short of wonderful.

Against All Odds is a small town, second chance, romance perfection that you need to read this very second. Like I said at the start of this review, if you take anything away from everything, I’ve said here it’s that you need to read this book. You need to experience the beauty of the love story between Everett and Violet and their second chance at it all. You need to experience this magical, small town and the friend group that will give you life in the best way. You need to experience these two characters finally getting the chance with the person who was always meant to be theirs all along. You just need to experience this incredible, emotional, and unforgettable love story.

What Violet and Everett share is more than I could even ever capture in words, so just trust me when I say that you need to read this book and experience the beauty of this love story for yourself. Right this instant. I promise that you will love getting to see those two find love again with one another, and you will relish and bask in the heart of it all. They are truly meant to be and you will absolutely LOVE getting to experience that and more with them over the course of their second chance love story.

*****5 Utterly Consuming Stars*****

The Wolf Hotel Series by KA Tucker is a series that I have been obsessed with since the moment I devoured it years ago. I still think about those books. I still think about those characters, that world, and all of the consuming and addicting feelings that that world, and those characters and every moment with them made me feel. And one of those characters that I have not stopped, loving since the very first moment I met him, was Ronan.

Because that man is in a league of his own.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a Henry Wolf girlie till the day I die, but there is something beyond damn special about Ronan. There is something SO unforgettable about Ronan. There is something utterly consuming and soul touching about Ronan. There is an undeniable, palpable, incredibly layered level of personality and fire about Ronan. Ronan is just Ronan. If you have met him, you love him. There is no if ands or buts about that because that man truly is set apart. There is something so alluring about him, something that you cannot get enough of, something that pulls you in no matter what direction you’re going. And honestly, that’s just part of what scratches the surface of what makes him such an incredibly dynamic and layered and unforgettable character that will steal your whole heart.

Ever since falling in love with him in the original series, I have needed his book. That novella, which now opens the start of this book, was the cherry on top that made me desperate for more with him. And I have to say that the more I got with him in this book was everything I didn’t even know I was missing in my life. Because this book and getting back into his headspace, and getting back into this world is everything my heart needed. This book was consuming. I read it in one sitting. It was fiery, it was unforgettable, it was captivating. It was tangible with its tension and connection between these characters, but more than it pulled my heart in to every bit of these characters. Yes, it was hot as hell, yes, there was so much glorious buildup between these characters, but more than that there was such a realness to them that had my heart in every breath of this book.

And I am already counting down the days to the next installment because I need it like I need my next breath.

This book takes you to the new world of Mermaid Beach and to another Wolf Hotel opening, and I have to say the way that this author totally encapsulate she was in this world is truly on another level. There is no way you can’t help but be enamored by this world, the dynamics of it, and all of the characters that make it what it is. It was giving me total flashbacks of what made me fall in love with the original series reading this book. I think this author hits the perfect balance of hitting those notes that made you fall in love with this world in the first place with the original series, while also showing you that this is a brand new world, with new rules, new characters, and lots of new feelings and relationships.

This new series, this new world, and this new set of characters mixed in with those fan favorites from the original series will definitely have you obsessed with everything you’re reading. I promise you that. I literally could not put this book down. I was beyond obsessed with getting back into Ronan‘s head, getting back with all of my other favorite characters from this world, while also getting to know Sloane. The world of this book is definitely fiery, memorable, and the steaks are high. You feel that through every page of this book and this author invests you in all of that, and in all of these characters. I cannot say that enough. You will get it all with them. Every high, every low, every moment of buildup, every moment of glorious tension, every moment of fire and connection, and every moment where you wonder where in the world these characters are going to go and what they’re going to do next.

In this book, you get the perfect balance of forbidden romance, fiery connection and tension, breaking of all the rules, and so many doors opening that you will be chomping at the bit to find out what happens next. Ronan and Sloane definitely break all the rules in this book, and I was here for every second of it. He is the new director of the hotel that is trying to take over the only home she’s ever known. She is a feisty business owner trying to hold on with all she can to her business, her Home, and to the semblance of normal she has, but she is not prepared for Ronan and the things that he makes her feel.

These two should not work on paper. They are definitely enemy number one to each other, but there is something that keeps pulling them back that they can’t get enough of. They feel a whole hell of a lot for each other, And the connection between them is palpable. Over the course of this book you get to see the two of them weighed their way through every bit of their complicated feelings and connection, and it is truly everything.

I could not get enough of what these two were doing to each other. They definitely make each other question everything, while also feeling absolutely everything. There is something very real and raw about the two of them. And I loved getting to be in the thick of it with them as they tried to figure out what the hell that meant for the two of them. Their feelings are complicated, their decisions aren’t easy ones, and this book and it’s events definitely for the two of them to make some hard choices and face some hurdles that they were not prepared for.

I loved getting to be in the thick of that tension with them because I just was an enamored by the two of them, I was invested in every bit of what they were sharing. I already need every new moment with them because I love these two with my whole heart and I want them to get their happily ever after. I need it. Like I NEED it. I think that speaks to what this author creates with these characters right from the start that I feel that so strongly and deeply, and that that level of connection was built from the first book and what I know will be another incredible series.

I will warn you that this book does end on a cliffhanger, but I have no doubt that it will be beyond worth it because this author has shown that every book that she writes, and every new installment to this world is perfection and beyond worth it. I have loved this world for a very long time and being back with it is everything. It is a series that is addicting, that is romance driven, that packs fire and humor and heart and romance and so many layers to it, while giving you memorable characters that you won’t be able to get enough of. I am wholeheartedly invested in Ronan and Sloane’s love story, while also invested in this world as a whole. I want all of the stories from this series and being back with these characters, being back within this world, and just getting everything that this author creates in this spinoff series is truly perfection!

Release Me was the perfect introduction to the spinoff series that I cannot wait for more of. If you were a fan of the original series, you will absolutely love this book and getting to dive deep into Ronan‘s love story that we have all been waiting for. And this first installment of it with him and Sloane and all the other incredible and unforgettable characters of this series, is absolutely amazing. It will definitely leave you on the edge of your seat, desperate for more, and you will love it.

Plus, getting to be back in the world of characters that first swept you into this illustrious series, will make your heart happy. I know it made my heart be beyond happy. Getting to see Connor and Henry and Abbi and all of the other incredible characters from the original series just adds to what makes this new series so fantastic. Getting to see how these relationships and friendships have evolved, how they strengthened, how they’ve continued will definitely have you laughing your ass off at times, feeling all the connection at others, but also knowing that these characters truly are a complicated found family of sorts that do show up for one another and push each other when it truly matters. And getting to be back in the thick of that dynamic with all of them? Well, it’s just the best. The actual best.

I am literally sitting here, writing this review just thinking about what I read with these characters, thinking about how much I already need everything with them, and I could not be more invested. I am obsessed, I am hooked, and I am desperate for what will come next. And that is just scratching the surface of what KA Tucker creates in this book. I love it so damn much and I can’t say it enough. She has created that palpable magic and connection again in this first book and I am here for it. I am here for all of it and I cannot wait for more!

I truly can’t say enough good things about this book, or what I got with Ronan and Sloane. This book encapsulates you with an addictive, fiery, and unforgettable world that is filled to the brim with complicated business dealings, forbidden relationships, and a level of connection you won’t experience in any other series. This world is truly addicting and I cannot wait for more. I am so beyond eager to see what this author has planned for Ronan and Sloane and the rest of these characters as this series unfolds. There are definitely some hard decisions and moments coming their way, especially with what was set up in this book, and I’m here for all of it.

I am invested in their relationship, I am rooting for their happily ever after, but more than that I am just counting down the minutes until I can get back in their heads and their hearts because I love both of their characters with my whole heart. That is a true testament to what this author creates that I feel that so much as I’m sitting here writing this review, and I cannot wait until the moment I’m back with all of these characters because my heart is ready. Plus I really need to see how they are going to figure it all out because I really really need them to do that because what Ronan and Sloane share is undeniable, and I am here for watching their dynamic and their relationship build over the course of this series.

This introduction to this spinoff series was the actual best and I cannot say enough good things about it. I am obsessed with this love story, with these characters, and I cannot wait for more. I will be counting down the days to the next installment in this series, and I have no doubt that this author will continue to wow me at every turn with what she creates in this love story because she has done that in every single incredible book that I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading from her. And this book was no different.

Never Been Worse by Morgan Elizabeth  is now live! 

Harper Abbott’s reputation has never been worse. The one time she tries to be spontaneous ends with her and her two best friends getting arrested for a prank gone wrong. Now, her cheating ex and his new girlfriend are on a mission to ruin her fledgling career as a fashion designer.

Wes Holden, guitarist for Altas Oaks, was pleasantly surprised to find out the charity date he was wrangled into was won by Harper, the woman he’d been quietly into for years. When he hears about the trouble she’s facing, he has the perfect solution: they should get married. His band needs a distraction in the media, and he could help her designs get more exposure.

With another leap of spontaneity, Harper agrees and is thrown into the limelight. Soon, what started as a mutually beneficial fake agreement starts to become more, and Wes finds himself working to convince her to give them a shot while Harper struggles to keep the full truth of her breakup—and its repercussions—under wraps.

*****5 Utterly Incredible Stars*****

Morgan Elizabeth has firmly cemented herself as one of my new favorite authors. I have recently binge read almost all of her entire back list and I have been blown away by what this author creates with her words. Her books are a joy to read. They are equal parts, funny and spicy and swoony and just incredible. They are romantic comedy goodness, and I have loved every single book of hers. They have all been five star reads and I have just been overjoyed getting to spend the time that I have with all of her characters, their antics, and their love stories.

Simply put, this author is one of my favorites, and I was beyond excited to read this book.

Never Been Worse had some of my all-time favorite tropes in it. But more than that, it had an incredible love story that I could not put down. This book was honest, it was vulnerable, it was funny as hell, it was spicy as all get out, and it enamored me with this couple and their connection. I mean, I was a melted puddle of goo reading this book and watching these two fall for each other, and I was here for every second of it. The way that Wes loves her with his whole heart from the very beginning, and the way that she is able to find herself and find her heart again after going through so much was perfection.

Those two were beyond meant to be. They may have come together in the most unorthodox of scenarios, but they were written in the stars. They were meant to be. They were endgame. You know that in your bones reading this book and I loved getting to be with the two of them as they realized how real it was between them. I mean, we definitely knew it was real the whole time, and it took Harper a hot second to get there herself, but getting to be with these two as they fell, as they felt it all, and as they willingly gave in to the epic of their connection and fire together was truly nothing short of everything.

I truly cannot say enough good things about this book. It truly had everything I love about a romance novel, but especially one from this author. The banter was perfection. The fire and connection between this couple and the build up to them giving into that and sharing it was chef‘s kiss. Couple that with the fact that it was a revenge story, a marriage of convenience that was so real that it would pass any lie detector test with flying colors, and the fact that these two had an undeniable level of connection… And I was smitten. I was more than smitten because I loved everything about them, everything they were sharing and building together, and the way that they continue to show up for each other in every way that mattered.

One of my favorite aspects of this book was Harper‘s character. I really connected to her, her honesty, and her vulnerability about the challenges she faces after the end of her previous relationship, after realizing she blindly put her faith and trust in the wrong people, and as she tried to figure out what was real and what was not, was everything. Her journey and her character was so real to me. I felt such connection to everything she goes through in this book and what it’s like to feel like you’re restarting your life when everybody else around you has firmly cemented theirs. The way that she wants more, the way that she realizes that she deserves more, and the way that I was able to connect to her character through this author‘s words as she fights for the life and the love that she’s always deserved was absolutely wonderful. And beautiful as all get out.

I loved that girl with my whole heart reading this book, and not only that I connect with her struggles and her journey that she goes on in this book, I was rooting like hell for her through every page. I wanted her to succeed. I believed in her. I wanted to be friends with her. She’s that fantastic and likable and real of a character that I felt all of those strong connections and feelings. And honestly, that’s just part of what I loved about her character and what I got with her throughout this book. Morgan Elizabeth truly has a knack for making her characters the people you want to be best friends with and Harper was no different. That girl is strong and resilient, and definitely knows how to dish some revenge, and I loved every second I got to spend with her.

Now not to be done, Wes Holden pretty much stole my heart from the very first moment I met him. From the very first book in this series, it was a parent that Wes had something there for Harper. But when you finally get into his head in this book, and you realize that that man has fallen hard and deep for Harper, there is no resisting him. Couple that with the fact that he is the most protective gem of a man on this planet, the fact that he would do anything for that girl, and the fact that he is willing to put in the hard work and play the long game to make her his was nothing short of perfection. That man is the best. End of.

I have loved every hero by this author, but Wes might be my new favorite. He just had such a way about him. The way that he was so honest and real at all times with how he felt about Harper, the way he showed up for her, showed up for his friends, and the way he showed up for every challenge that came their way was utterly fantastic. And I’m not going to lie, getting to spend time with a rockstar covered in tattoos, who loves with his whole heart and isn’t afraid to be so real about those feelings and fight like hell for the woman he loves was absolutely swoonworthy. It was everything and then some and that man is truly a gem with a heart of gold.

Like I said, I could not put this book down with these two. I was beyond consumed in everything they were building together, I was here for every moment of their “fake “relationship, and I was absolutely blown away by what these two give each other. What these two share is very very real, it is built straight from the heart, and it is romantic AF. There is no resisting Harper and Wes and what they share in this book. I promise you that. Every moment with them will have you rooting with everything that you have that these two will find their way and that they will give into everything they’re sharing.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the fact that Jules and Ava make up the best trio with Harper and I could spend 17 more books with those three. Their antics are everything, their banter is joyous, and the way that they show up for each other and create the most solid friend group was incredible. Getting to see the two of them with their respective spouses, getting to see the found family of characters that all of these characters have created together, and getting to be there through every antic and fun filled moment and crazy revenge plot was fantastic.

And so damn fun.

This book just made me so happy. I cannot say that enough. All of this author’s books have brought out this feeling in me as I’ve read them, which is just part of the reason I love them all so much, but this one truly might just be my new favorite. It was so incredibly written, it was consuming in every way, and I just loved what I got with these characters. Revenge, fun, spice, love, and all the glorious swoon. What’s not to love?

Never Been Worse is what love stories and romantic comedies should be. This book proved that to me again and again. This book was so fun, it was so heartfelt and genuine at times, so swoony and romantic at others, and it just highlighted how incredible love can truly be. The love you find with your friends and those you chose to build your life with, the truest love you can build out of something you thought might not even be real, and the love that you find within yourself when it really matters.

This book is definitely going down as one of my favorite reads of this year, and I truly cannot say enough good things about it. This was not only the perfect conclusion to a series that I’ve loved, but it was another utterly incredible read by an author who is one of my favorites. This book Was everything I needed. My heart was so happy reading it, and I loved everything I got with these characters. Wes and Harper bring everything to the pages of this book, they deliver it so vulnerably and sincerely, and you cannot help but love them and root for them and want every good thing for them while reading their story. And honestly, that’s just part of what makes this book so incredible, so romantic, and so phenomenal to read and experience.

I highly recommend this book and every other book by this author. You will love everything about how she creates her love stories and what she infuses into her words. There is such life and color and vibrancy to what she creates that it makes such a magical reading experience that will just make you unbelievably happy. I can’t say that enough. Throw in the fact that there are some incredible Taylor Swift references, the best kind of revenge plot lines, and just so much fun and love to be had, and you will just love it all. I promise you that.

Never Been Worse is a marriage of convenience story that will have you knowing from the very first page that everything between this couple is so incredibly real, and that everything they’re building together is meant to be. You will swoon with these two, you will feel it all, you will laugh your ass off at times, but more than that you’ll believe in everything that they’re sharing together and fighting like hell for. This book is what romance novels are made of and it is perfection. I can’t say that enough!

Run yourself to this world, these incredible characters and their love stories, and all the romantic comedy goodness this author’s fantastic words have to offer. It would be wrong not to.
