The Park Brothers #5
Love: Take Two: A Curvy Second Chance Romance
Noah Park is the last of his brothers still happily single, and he intends to keep it that way. He’s got a great job as a top talent agent, an apartment in the heart of New York City, and his client just landed a role in what might be Hollywood’s next billion‑dollar franchise. There’s just one problem: the costar’s attorney is Awa Faye, a former study partner turned hookup that he ghosted back in college. She hasn’t forgiven him, and she certainly hasn’t forgotten. But they can keep things professional for the sake of the film, right?
Wrong! When Awa arrives on set to deal with her client’s unprofessional costar, she’s blindsided by the man who broke her heart all those years ago. Keeping the peace between two feuding actors is hard; keeping her cool around Noah is impossible. It doesn’t help that he’s only gotten hotter since she last saw him, or that after weeks of sexual tension, he makes a dangerous proposition: stop fighting the attraction and give in.
One night of passion becomes an addiction neither can kick, until their clients ignite a scandal that threatens the entire production. Are Noah and Awa built to last, or is their relationship better left in the past?
It’s love: take two. Maybe this time, they’ll get their happily ever after.

***This review was originally posted on May 8th, 2026***
I received this book as an ARC — Advanced Reader Copy. I have never been more excited to start book in my life, I adored every single Park Brothers book and this book was no different. Katherine E. Webb manages to tell one of the most beautiful second chance romance stories ever in this book. The book follows Noah Park — the second eldest Park brother — and the amazing Awa Faye.
Noah and Awa’s story is so deeply romantic, and without any spoilers, the book has just as many twists and turns as it does romance. This is a beautiful love story that touches on not only romantic love but also parental and sibling love.
Somehow within this love story, Webb manages to give us a conclusion that ties every book together in the most beautiful bow. I highly recommend picking up this book even if it is the first book you pick up in this series; it was truly so well done and so beautiful!!! Katherine E. Webb’s Park Brothers series accomplishes what Talia Hibbert does in her Brown Sisters series — multiple distinct unique love stories with deeply love-able and relatable main characters. For example, in this love story it’s clear that Awa shares so many similarities with Noah’s identical twin Henry Jr.; Awa even used to sport glasses as Henry Jr. does. Throughout the series and in this book we see that Henry Jr.’s partner — Camilla — mirrors Noah’s personality to a tee as well. These very intentional characterizations really highlight the deep understanding that Katherine E. Webb has of all the of her characters.
I’m so grateful that I randomly came across this book series last year. Who would’ve known these books would end up being some of my favorite books ever? Truly I cannot say enough good things about this book it’s so beautifully written and emotionally romantic. Honestly, I could not have imagined a better conclusion to the Park Brothers series, and I can’t wait to see what Katherine E. Webb writes next!

🥃 ARC Review: LOVE: TAKE TWO
Second Chances, Forced Proximity, and the Kind of Chemistry That Doesn't Age Out
Author: Katherine E. Webb
Genre: Contemporary Romance / AMBW Romance / Second Chance Romance
Tropes: Second chance, forced proximity (literal AND meta), slow burn, ghosted in college, enemies-to-lovers (professional edition), movie industry, AMBW, found family
Format: ARC — received directly from author
Series: Standalone
Drink Pairing: The Bisap Sour — hibiscus-infused soju, lemon, honey syrup, aromatic bitters
Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (High-heat. Earned. Thoroughly.)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) — "Worth Going Back For"
🥃 The Pour
Katherine E. Webb had me at the irony.
The film at the center of Love: Take Two is literally called Forced Proximity — a working title that the characters themselves agree will never survive to the box office. What they don't realize, and what I was absolutely delighted to watch unfold, is that they are living the trope in real time. An attorney and a talent agent, both representing feuding costars on the same production, both shoved into a folding chair corner of the video village, both pretending they don't have history that crackles louder than the generators powering the set lights.
The history? He ghosted her in college. Not the slow fade kind. The morning-after-the-most-significant-night-of-her-life kind. Then had the nerve to say "girls like you always get the wrong idea" when she confronted him.
Sir.
Pour yourself something with a little bite. We're going in.
The Characters: A Full Glass
Awa Faye gets introduced first, and she earns every second of that introduction. Senegalese roots. Parents in Dakar. Raised on the love languages of academic excellence and romcoms — a combination that built a woman who believes fiercely in real love but has wrapped that belief in six layers of professional armor. She is sharp, guarded, culturally grounded, and unapologetically herself. She codes between English and French without breaking stride. She watches the 1997 Brandy-and-Paolo-Montalban Cinderella when she needs to feel something. She quits her toxic law firm mid-scene with the kind of composed, devastating calm that made me put the book down just to collect myself.
She is the kind of woman who has spent her whole life proving herself to people who would never fully see her — and then one day just... stops proving. Watching her get there is the quiet revolution at the heart of this book.
Noah Park is charismatic in the way that good bourbon is charismatic — goes down easy and hits harder than expected. Korean-American, one of five Park brothers, talent agent to rising star Yong-rae Kim. He is warm, funny, and genuinely good at his job. He also has the ghost of a twenty-year-old bad decision following him around the set of a major film production, and the decency to know it. What separates Noah from the sea of romance heroes who ghost and then charm their way back is that when Awa calls him out — publicly, professionally, without flinching — he doesn't make excuses. He sits in the discomfort of what he did.
Growth. Actual, visible growth. Top-shelf.
The chemistry between them is the slow-burn kind that builds before either of them admits it's building. The "Forced Proximity" meta-joke is not an accident — Katherine E. Webb is winking at us the whole time, and I love her for it.
What I Savored 🥃
The AMBW representation is deliberate and specific — this is not background detail, it is woven into the story's DNA. Awa watching the 1997 Cinderella — Brandy and Paolo Montalban locked in their fairytale embrace — and recognizing the mirror image of herself and Noah? That moment landed like a slow pour of something you didn't know you needed. Katherine E. Webb did not sidestep the cultural specificity of this relationship; she honored it.
Awa's Senegalese identity is present, named, and real — The French slipping into her internal monologue. The calls from Maman with a healthy side of parental pressure. The bisap, the La Gazelle longing, the way Dakar lives in her even in New York. This is not set dressing. This is character architecture.
The meta-irony is working overtime and I loved every second — They are trapped in the video village, side by side, sparring and softening and pretending they don't feel what they feel, working on a film literally titled Forced Proximity. And at one point Awa explains the forced proximity trope to Noah — a man who has no idea what a romance trope is — and he says, "Now I kinda like it." I hollered.
Awa quitting her firm — When she walks into that conference room, signs the letter, and delivers her exit speech to two men who never valued her with absolute ice-cold precision? Then slumps against her office door the second she's alone? That is the full emotional spectrum in two pages. One of the best scenes in the book, and it has nothing to do with Noah. That was Awa choosing herself.
The Park family dynamics — Loud, loving, full-contact, meddling in all the best ways. Five brothers who have each other on speed dial across every time zone. A mother who receives Awa's flowers in a hospital room and immediately knows there's a story there. A dad who's hard to impress and then says he's proud without fanfare. These people are a whole world, and every scene with them adds warmth without pulling focus from the central romance.
What I Side-Eyed 🥃
Noah's reckoning with the college ghosting felt a step light — He did wrong. He knows he did wrong. But the weight of what that night meant to Awa — a woman for whom that was a first and a pivot point — and the long shadow it cast over her willingness to trust? I wanted his apology to cost him a little more. I wanted to see him sit in the discomfort longer before she let him back in. The emotional accounting came due, but the interest charges were forgiven a touch fast.
The clients' scandal and resolution — Yong-rae and Tabitha's drama is what drives the external conflict and forces Noah and Awa apart at key moments, but the resolution of their professional tension wraps up efficiently when I wanted to feel it land harder. After all the near-production-shutdowns and set blow-ups, the pivot to "they're gelling now" moved quickly.
Pacing wobbles slightly in the back third — The middle of this book is absolutely propulsive — the banter, the tension, the slow crumble of Awa's defenses. The back third, where the HEA has to be earned, occasionally dips into reflective stretches that slow the momentum right when I wanted to sprint. It needed just a tighter hand on those final chapters.
The Finish
Love: Take Two is exactly what the title promises: a second shot at something that should have been handled better the first time, and the beautiful, complicated work of figuring out if the people you've become can do what the people you were could not.
Awa Faye is a heroine I will be recommending for years. Her strength is not armor — it's roots. And watching her find a man who finally sees the whole of her, who recognizes that what she wants from love is not "too much" but just right?
Katherine E. Webb wrote something warm, culturally rich, funny, and genuinely romantic here. It's the kind of AMBW love story I want more of, told by a writer who clearly understands that representation isn't a checkbox — it's the whole ingredient list.
This one's worth going back for. And going back again.
🥃 The Drink Pairing: The Bisap Sour
For a love story that lives at the intersection of Dakar and Seoul and New York City — something that bridges without erasing.
🌺 1.5 oz hibiscus-infused soju — the AMBW heart of it; two distinct traditions, one gorgeous result
🍋 ¾ oz fresh lemon juice — the years of sharp professional distance between them
🍯 ½ oz honey syrup — what was always underneath, even when buried
🖤 2 dashes aromatic bitters — the ghost of that college morning. It doesn't disappear. It just gets smaller.
🍊 Expressed orange peel, for garnish — Awa. Bright, warm, more complex than anyone gives her credit for.
Method: Shake hard over ice until very cold. Strain into a chilled coupe. Express the orange peel over the glass, run it along the rim, and drop it in. Sip slowly. This is the kind of drink — and the kind of love story — that rewards patience.
Tasting Notes
🍷 Aroma: Floral and citrus-forward — like walking into a room and realizing someone left the windows open
🥃 Palate: Tart, sweet, layered — the push-pull of two people who want each other and keep getting in their own way
✨ Finish: Warm, lingering hibiscus — the kind of aftertaste that makes you want another sip before the glass is even empty
I received an advance review copy directly from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you, Katherine E. Webb, for Awa Faye. She deserved this.
Recommended for fans of: Aubreé Pynn's emotional contemporary romance, Talia Hibbert's heroines who don't shrink, and anyone who has ever wanted to see an AMBW love story told with this much care and specificity.
✨ If you enjoy: forced proximity with actual tension ✨ heroines who choose themselves ✨ second chances where the growth is earned ✨ a found family that actually adds to the story — this one belongs in your hands.

Is this all?
This felt extremely unfinished, I needed more. The ending was lackluster. Will we be hearing more about their story ?

Review of advance copy received from Author
I can't believe we made it to the end of the Park Brothers series by Katherine E. Webb (🥹), and honestly? This was a really strong final installment!!
This story follows Awa Faye, a Senegalese entertainment lawyer, and the final romance-dodging Park brother, Noah (who ironically met the love of his life long before any of his brothers but was far too immature to realize it at the time). Years later, the two are reunited when their respective actor clients are cast opposite one another in a film by an acclaimed director. With tensions rising on set and both clients constantly pulling them into the chaos, Noah and Awa are forced to confront the mistakes and unresolved feelings they left behind during university.
So much worked for this story. I absolutely devoured it and was annoyed every single time I got interrupted while reading. Noah and Awa had incredible chemistry, but what really made the story work for me was how much they mirrored one another. Both are minorities within their respective companies, both are being undercut by the "good ole boys" around them despite being extremely successful, and both have spent years channeling their insecurities into professional ambition.
Noah's struggles are heavily tied to his father and the pressure of living up to expectations, while Awa constantly feels like she can never fully meet her mother's standards. I appreciated that both characters eventually came to realize that their accomplishments and years of hard work in their industries could not be diminished just because certain people refused to acknowledge their worth. Watching them finally choose themselves and greener pastures was really satisfying.
I also loved seeing the wider cast involved throughout the story. The appearances from the brothers and their spouses never felt excessive, and I especially enjoyed Camila, Rory, Young Rae, and Tabitha's involvement in everything surrounding the film. It almost felt like Noah and Awa became professional older siblings to their clients at times, which added a lot of heart to the story alongside all the tension and spice.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see that Awa was Senegalese. The mentions of her culture and family brought me back to the time when I lived in Dakar and made me nostalgic for driving along the Corniche, visiting Seaplaza, and of course eating mafé. At the same time, I did find myself wishing the Senegalese representation felt a bit more grounded and textured throughout the story. As someone who has lived in Senegal, there were moments where Awa's background felt more lightly sketched than fully integrated into her character. It didn't ruin the story for me at all, but it was noticeable enough that I found myself wanting a little more cultural depth and specificity.
Still, overall, this was a genuinely enjoyable second-chance romance with great chemistry, emotional growth, family involvement, and just enough messiness to keep everything entertaining. I'm definitely sad to leave the world of the Park brothers, but I'll absolutely be rereading these books while waiting to see what Katherine E. Webb writes next!

Review of advance copy received from Author
And it all comes to and end... *cries dramatically* I have been absolutely in love with this series since Champagne Kisses, and I think this was the perfect way to end it with Noah Park, the last Park brother, finding his HEA with the sexy, intelligent, awe-inspiring Awa from his college years.
I've said this before, but each book Katherine writes gets better and better, and this one was no exception. I loved how she did something different with this book by adding the past and present POVs, something we'd hadn't yet seen in this series. The past POV showed Awa and Noah becoming fast friends, before one night getting physical and stirring up feelings of want in Noah, feelings he couldn't handle at the time due to the stupid bachelor pact he had with his siblings. Although what Noah did was absolutely shitty, there were times when I felt like the intensity of Awa's feelings didn't match what was shown in the past POV. She was really down bad for Noah, even before they got physical and I was screaming through my Kindle, "girl, he aint worth all of them compliments you keep giving him!" (lol)
However, Awa from the past is NOT Awa from the future, and my sis bossed up! I think oldest siblings who have the hopes and the dreams of their parents resting on their shoulders would resonate well with Awa because she was under so much pressure from her parents who sent her to America to have a better life and be successful. I also love how Katherine also touched on Black women in professional fields and how we often have to skirt that line between standing up for ourselves and being firm, and on the flip side, trying not to be labeled an "Angry Black Woman". On the other hand, I think people whose dreams differ from their parents would resonate with Noah. His father wanted him to be a lawyer, but that wasn't his dream. Striking out on your own against your parents' wishes is not an easy thing to do, and not an easy burden to bear. I do wish more of Noah's struggles of being Korean in the entertainment industry were shown, but I feel like Katherine created these amazing characters that her readers would absolutely find pieces of themselves in.
Noah and Awa meet again in the future when both of their clients are starring in a film together, and it's their jobs to make sure everything stays on track. I will be honest; I didn't totally understand why Noah and Awa were needed on set for so much of the book. And there were times when the drama on set with Tabitha and Yong-Rae, the conflict with Camila and Henry, and even the issues Noah and Awa were facing at their jobs took away from the romance of the story. Awa and Noah barely spend any time together over the course of the book, and when they did, it was mostly physical. And while Noah and Awa are in love by the end of the book, I'd have liked to see more moments of just them bonding, connecting, and talking so I could understand why they loved each other beyond the physical connection. (And the physical connection was connecting, honey. Noah is NASTY) However, I must admit, it was good to see the whole Park family again over the course of the book. With the inclusion of all the brothers, and their partners, it felt like the perfect homegoing for this series.
I've said this before, but each book Katherine writes gets better and better, and this one was no exception. I loved how she did something different with this book by adding the past and present POVs, something we'd hadn't yet seen in this series. The past POV showed Awa and Noah becoming fast friends, before one night getting physical and stirring up feelings of want in Noah, feelings he couldn't handle at the time due to the stupid bachelor pact he had with his siblings. Although what Noah did was absolutely shitty, there were times when I felt like the intensity of Awa's feelings didn't match what was shown in the past POV. She was really down bad for Noah, even before they got physical and I was screaming through my Kindle, "girl, he aint worth all of them compliments you keep giving him!" (lol)
However, Awa from the past is NOT Awa from the future, and my sis bossed up! I think oldest siblings who have the hopes and the dreams of their parents resting on their shoulders would resonate well with Awa because she was under so much pressure from her parents who sent her to America to have a better life and be successful. I also love how Katherine also touched on Black women in professional fields and how we often have to skirt that line between standing up for ourselves and being firm, and on the flip side, trying not to be labeled an "Angry Black Woman". On the other hand, I think people whose dreams differ from their parents would resonate with Noah. His father wanted him to be a lawyer, but that wasn't his dream. Striking out on your own against your parents' wishes is not an easy thing to do, and not an easy burden to bear. I do wish more of Noah's struggles of being Korean in the entertainment industry were shown, but I feel like Katherine created these amazing characters that her readers would absolutely find pieces of themselves in.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Awa and Noah know each other from college - They became study buddies, friends and then lovers (kind of). But after Noah bails on theire whole relationship Awa becomes very hurt and very garded whit her heart. When they meet 20years later on a movie set whit the main actors they each represent, they are force to work together and try to make sure theire stars and the production goes smooth. While also trying to keep it very professional.
I LOVE the realism whit both of them having a hard time living up to theire parents expectation - Awa whit her mom and Noah whit his dad. And the stress and distant that majority of times create whit that parent. I loved seeing more of the Parks family dynamic, and some of the struggles that Noah still after all those years from college held unto. I really loved having a more intimate inside of it. And Noah's talk whit his dad in the hospital was really good.
Also Noah's relationship whit his twin, Henry was so interessting. The way they had a connection like no other of theire brothers, and yet Noah still felt some resentment and a wall there whit his twin. Very interessting dynamic. I LOVED more of the layers whit the Park family, it was so good.
Noah is a talent agent and very good at what he does. And Awas a badass lawyer. Theire back and forth verbally stabbing each other, and the banter was well written. It also took a good while before they got together so i really felt them have to build up theire relationship anew. Tho i would have liked seeing them being a couple in more chapthers. And the power of forgiving (laying hurt pasts to rest) was powerfull. And parents, grace and the power of "I love you."
And ... Lort, the spice - Noah was a NAS TY man and i was here for it, and then some. I love me a nas ty man in the sheets, thats a gentleman in the streets. Fantastic spice! He and Awa had good chem in the pages both in and out of the bedroom. And i like Yong-rae - Started rocky but showed how a man is to act, is to be! And Rory was gangsta, no kidding around, holding her own. Camila, Really? ... lose lips aint cute. What she said to Awa was ... girl, REALLY? Really tho?!
Anyway, very good book and i put it on 2th place, right under Cory and Denise and above Maya and Adam <3

This book was bittersweet because I have enjoyed the Park family so much.
Noah was the last holdout of the 5 Park brothers- still single even though they had a pact to stay that way. He was clearly a tough nut to crack, as he has been a lifelong player, trying to avoid getting tied down. He even ghosted the girl of his dreams in college as soon as he started feeling too much.
Twenty years later, and that girl is an even more attractive badass lawyer, and sharing a workspace with Noah for the foreseeable future. Awa Faye is a driven, focused woman, who is killing it at her job, even though her superiors don't recognize her for it. The flashbacks to college show how she was always an incredible woman. I loved her character at all stages, and really felt for her as she struggled to get praise from her coworkers and even her mother.
When they finally give in to the tension, the spice is delicious. It still takes Noah a while to figure out how to be in a relationship, and unfortunately that causes some hurt for Awa. But he does eventually get it together, thankfully.
I also loved the way this book really ties up the series, with the Park family really coming together and supporting each other. It's been a while since I have read the other books, and I have to say, it makes me want to go back and start them over again.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I had the absolute pleasure of receiving an ARC of this book, and let me just say I’ve been hooked on this series since book one. Watching the Park brothers’ journey come to an end feels equal parts satisfying and bittersweet. And Noah? I have been waiting for his story because I just knew that man had some things to unpack and wow, did he deliver.
I really loved the back-and-forth between past and present. It added depth without dragging the story down, and the pacing stayed strong throughout. It never felt stuck in one timeline, which made everything flow effortlessly.
Awa was such a standout for me. Her emotions felt completely justified, and I appreciated how clearly we understood her perspective. I live for a female main character who stands on business and makes the MMC work for that redemption. And Noah? He rose to the occasion. The way he pursued Awa again was thoughtful, intentional, and honestly… very swoon-worthy.
The spice was solid. I’d give it a 🌶️🌶️.5. Just enough to keep things interesting without overpowering the story.
My only tiny wish is that we’d gotten one final epilogue set a few years in the future with all the brothers. I’m not ready to let them go just yet! That said, I truly loved this series and I’m already excited to see what Katherine writes next.

This book was OK. It was a quick read, the writing was fine. The problem for me was I don’t know that I completely believe in the love story. I have a tendency to read other reviews after I’m done to see if it was just me noticing certain things and one of the things I noticed was he never really took any accountability for how he ended things beyond saying I’m sorry. There was no explanation to her as to why he “ghosted “her. I don’t know that we were using the term ghosted in 2005, but regardless it rubbed me the wrong way. On top of that the in the beginning she’s not my type thing was irritating me. We didn’t need multiple mentions of her not being your type and then you finally liking her because she was funny. And then some other review mentioned that he really didn’t try for her him showing up with coffee was like OK and? And then in the end she was still the one to push things forward. It was also a lot with the side character story that I could’ve done without. This book would’ve been shorter without so much focus on the clients. I would’ve preferred that to get wrapped up and then just focus on him earning back her trust from his earlier actions. IDK I read a couple of these books I think for the other brothers definitely at least one, but it was a while ago and I can’t remember if this one was any worse or better. It’s giving 2.5.

Ebook Review:
4.5⭐
"The bachelor pact is long gone, and in its place, my vow to love her and cherish her for the rest of my life blooms in my chest."
Tropes:
Interracial Romance
College Hookup to Rivals to Lovers
Second Chance Romance
Forced Proximity (Workplace/Hollywood Set)
He Falls Harder
Noah Park is the last of his brothers still happily single, and he intends to keep it that way while dominating as a top NYC talent agent. That plan goes out the window when he discovers his client's costar is represented by Awa Faye—the former college hookup he ghosted years ago. Awa has definitely not forgotten or forgiven him, but keeping things professional becomes impossible as the overwhelming sexual tension on set leads to a dangerous proposition to just give in.
Finally, Noah gets his own story, and I love that Awa's and her backstory is so relatable as a child of immigrant parents, this was scarily accurate of how much pressure they may put on us and how to navigate being grateful and not lose it at times. I'm so sad that this series is over this series was everything. Katherine E. Webb you have a forever fan in me. Thank you for the woman of color and plus size representation of your FMCs.

Great Ending to an Amazing Series!!🤎🤎
The Park brothers… every single one of them. 😩❤️ What can I even say? They embody so many of the qualities I want in a man, and getting inside each of their heads throughout the series made me love them even more.
I also loved that each woman brought her own level of resistance to love, and through loving a Park brother, they each discovered a new piece of themselves. That growth made every relationship feel unique and worth rooting for.
I really appreciated getting a closer look at Noah’s relationship with his dad in this book. Watching their reconciliation unfold added so much depth to his character.
Now, Noah knew he was dead wrong for ghosting Awa, and I’m so glad she made that man work for his second chance! 😂
Champagne Kisses was one of the first books I ever read that brought my very real BWAM dreams to life through unforgettable characters, romance, and all the twists and turns that come with falling in love.
This entire series has been such a joy to read. Katherine, you absolutely nailed it! I can’t wait to read whatever you write next.

Unfortunately the last
Unfortunately this is the last Park brother romance. Just like the ones before him, Noah's story is a winner. I still don't understand the reasoning behind the brothers' pact. They have great parents. Although I hated how hard Noah's father was on him. The same for Awa's mom. I love how Awa and Noah met in college. I wish Noah had not ghosted Awa. And to be honest, I wish they had gone all the way that night. Yes, Noah was a douche. But her subsequent choices were douches as well. I felt Awa was a little petty with holding Noah's behavior in college against him when they met years later. But to be honest, I tend to give people the cold shoulder when they are on my hate list. So the emotional vitriol she greeted Noah with just seemed beneath her. But still understandable. I wish there was some more scenes between the two. But the few there was good. Just not as spicy as another Park brother's book. Overall, definitely not a disappointment. Stayed up late to read.

4.5 star
I really enjoyed this one!
Awa frustrated me at times, but I could understand where she was coming from. Even though she and Noah only had one interaction in college, it clearly left a lasting impact on her. Twenty years later, she was still carrying that hurt, and while I wanted her to let go a little sooner, I understood why it wasn't that simple.
I liked Noah overall, but he definitely wasn't innocent. The way he handled things when they met in college was immature, and after their "hookup" (which wasn't even really a hookup 😭), he did Awa so wrong. That said, I really enjoyed the friendship. Watching them reconnect, grow, and slowly rebuild trust made their second chance feel earned.
More than anything, I'm sad to see the Park Brothers series come to an end. It's been such a fun journey, and I enjoyed spending time with this family.
My final Park Brothers ranking:
🥇 Adam
🥈 Corey
🥉 Damon
4️⃣ Noah
5️⃣ Henry
Overall, this was a solid 4.5-star read. A great second-chance romance and a satisfying end to the series.

Last Park Brother
The second born Park brother, Noah, is the last to find his forever one. Or is he? This second chance story is character driven and very engrossing. Katherine E. Webb does a good job of creating five close-knit brothers with very different personalities. And the women they love are equally diverse with one thing in common - they’re independent and the best in their field.
I love the dual point of view writing. Being able to understand each character’s thoughts, feelings, and reactions always makes for better, more engrossing storytelling. The heat level is medium - the few sex scenes are well-written and descriptive. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Webb’s books.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Love: Take Two is excellent and the perfect finale to the Park Brothers Series! As with all of the books in the series, it was excellent start to finish. I had been waiting for Noah’s story as he was the one brother that was going to be a bachelor forever. I love that his story is a second chance with a bit of a slow burn. Awa such an amazing character and I love that we get to see her past and how it shaped her into the amazing woman that she is in the present. I also love that both characters have their flaws that they work through while also being very successful in their careers. This story is written so beautifully and is a great time and a very sexy as well. This book is a must read!

Unfortunately, Noah has to join Cory in timeout, because what in the world?!
He really played in Awa's face back in the day😭
I love Awa so much! Most of this rating is because of how iconic she is hahaha
Noah is hilarious, but when it comes to their relationship I feel like he continued to downplay what has happened and never really owned up to it. However, I also get just wanting to move past it and try again. The plot outside of the couple was fun too! Lot of great moments with Henry and Camila and the family.
This is one of those stories where I liked the characters more separately than in the relationship. But Awa deserves a HEA! If she wants it with Noah so be it hahhaha

this being the end of this series was a choice
from all the books is the one we have less interaction between the FMC and the Park family, which is one of the best things in these series!
it's crazy to me that a grown man is talking about a bachelor promise ... and some point you gotta understand how embarrassing that is
nevertheless, the romance was nice! love when they understand they want to be together and make sure that happens! really like reading about their relationship with their parents
nevertheless Katherine needs to something about how this series ended! even better if one the couples breaks up and we have other book with more second chance

Worth the Wait
I had been impatiently waiting for book 5 of The Park Brothers series. It did not disappoint. Once again I fell in love with the characters. I appreciated the attention to detail that bought out the beauty in each character that isn't highlighted in main stream media. I also appreciated the sensitivity to and focus on the microagressions minorities, and woman face. All. Of that wrapped into a delicious story of second chances in more ways that 1. I truly hope Ms. Webb will do one more book or an anthology of all the happy endings and I really want to see what's next for these two main characters and Youn-Rae.
Can't wait to read more of her books!!

Noah Park is the last brother in the Park family who finds love. It’s a second chance, AMBW story.
Noah met Awa in college. They were friends and study buddies. After one night when they stepped past the boundaries of friendship, Noah ghosts Awa.
After a decade they meet again when his client is starring in a movie with her client. Of course the close proximity stirs the embers of their affections. The book is about their journey to love.
Of course they get a HEA. It was a great way to end the series. Borrowed this from Kindle Unlimited.

I love this authors writing and I love this series. To me this book falls short in that the MMC is way too cocky and there was not one time where he chased or even made it known that he was interested in the FMC. Besides buying her two coffees, she did all the chasing which was so annoying to see. She literally asked him out.... not once in the book did he let his feelings towards her be known.

Katherine is a genius
This Park Brothers books and the women in them are so well written, omg. Anddd the chemistry in this book? Chef’s kiss (as always).
Now that there are no more Park Brothers to write about, idk where Katherine will go with the next book but I hope she releases it fast.

I really enjoyed this book and it was easily my favorite of the series. The character development felt genuine, and the storyline kept me engaged from beginning to end. Everything came together in a satisfying way, making it a great conclusion to the series.

A perfect end to an amazing series!
Truthfully I’m sad it’s over! Awa and Noah were meant to be just as all the park brothers and their partners were. I am mourning this series already. The chemistry was there, the plot wasn’t complicated and everything flowed! 5 stars ⭐️

It was a little hard for me to get into at first, but the ball got to rolling nicely for Awa and Noah. I was already invested since I read the previous books. This was one shaped up nicely in this series about The Park Brothers. I enjoyed it very much.

My Favorite Series of ALL Time
This entire series has been amazing from start to finish. I enjoyed every single book and this was an amazing ending to such an amazing series. Every Park brother was amazing to read about and their leading ladies were awesome as well. Thank you for such an amazing series and I can’t wait to read another by the wonderful Katherine E. Webb!

I think Awa was childish for holding on to something for 20 years that really wasn’t that big of a deal IMO. And then calling causal sex a relationship was very…silly? Either way, not the best book in the series in my opinion. I was more interested in the side love story vs the main characters.

This book was amazing! They all were. Sad the series has ended, but so happy I got to experience the journey of the Park brothers and their plus size queens. RIP to the Bachelor Pact ❤️☺️
