Maxim found his forever heart with Cassie. ❤️
Okay now. This novella stole my heart❤️. This was maybe one of the best second chance instalove stories I've read this year. High school jock Maxim never looked twice at nerdy Cassie Chang. But a 20 year high school reunion changed all of that! And let me tell you it was fiya!🔥🔥
The jock and the beautiful nerd finally got their HEA and then some. And Jace? What a cute and adorable kid. I'm so glad everything worked out for him a well. Ok Amaya Black. Keep coming with those receipts. I'm here for them! I can't wait to read Alexi next! 😊

The series is fun and this story was cute but I actually wish I could have known what made the older sister so out of control and seen a bit more of the main characters relationship develop. I still liked the story but I wish the author would get an editor and take the books up just that extra notch-get rid of the typos and use the correct tense-everything is went when it should usually be gone- and sometimes the incorrect word or spelling is used at a crucial point of the story it can be frustrating when you are trying to stay involved in the story.

not as good as it could be
This is the second short in this series and all three books are lacking. The stories have a good baseline and would make excellent stories if they were flushed out. The background of the characters are rushed, there are gaps in the plots, the conflict is touched upon but not developed enough. Cute story but it leaves you with a lot of questions and wishing for the author to go back and develop the characters as well as the storyline

He found his love with the high school ugly duckling, Cassie. They fell hard for each other and got married. The end. If your into Russian men with many tattoos & a man bun you have hit the jackpot. Just a quick read of about 35 pages.

This was too cute for words. I liked the story more then the bedroom stuff that was a bit cheesy but the actual story was cool... again with the terrible mother though

Awwwwwwwwwww
This book had me all in my feelings at the end on how Maxim not only wanted to marry Cassie but also to adopt Jace as his son. I wanted them to gave a baby too like Adrian and Sage.

Maxim
Short sweet novella, loved Maxim and Carole dynamic, to see her take on the responsibility of her nephew while dealing with her mom and addict sister was awesome.. Maxim stepped up into that father role so flawless, great read..

Grammar errors
Grammar errors, big words. If you can not spell it, use a different word. Smaller words do not take away from the story.
