Four-time Carol Award winner Jenny B. Jones writes contemporary romance with wit, sass, and Southern charm. Since writing for both women and teens leaves her with very little free time, she believes in spending her spare hours in meaningful, intellectual pursuits, such as watching E!, going to the movies and inhaling large buckets of popcorn, and writing her name in the dust on her furniture. www.jennybjones.com
I originally received this as a free copy from the author and later reread the extended version on Kindle Unlimited. I genuinely loved the added content. The friendship, the chemistry, and all the chaotic shenanigans made it such a fun read.
There is a classic miscommunication trope, and when the misunderstanding is finally revealed, it becomes a little chaotic but in a way that’s still humorous and entertaining. I also loved getting a glimpse of the siblings from her other series. It made me miss them and hope we finally get the next book soon.
Overall, this one was charming, funny, and full of heart.
Quotes:
“You’re the Power Ball, Tillie. You’re the pot of gold. You’re the championship ring. You’re…” I struggled to think of another metaphor. “You get the idea.” “I do.” “You’re my first pick, always. Do you get that I’ve loved you for years?” Her eyes glistened with happy tears. “I’m starting to.”
I laughed and squealed out loud so may times. I read it all in one sitting because I couldn't put it down until I reached the satisfying ending. It had me sighing with all the good feels!
Cute at times but the novella format resulted in a romance that felt way too rushed. I did love what I assume was a little Easter Egg about a future full length book in the series though..
