Sweet Life in Seattle #5
Too Much Like Love
Sometimes one night is all it takes.
Brody doesn't think much of the sexy older blonde who's just dropped her car off at his garage. It's pretty obvious she's a hot mess. He's had rude customers before, but she's going for the gold medal.
When her car is ready, he discovers he can't get her on the phone. But then as he's closing shop for the night, she shows up plastered drunk. Brody doesn't know what to do. He'd like to send her away in an Uber, but she's refusing to leave. There's no chance he's letting her drive her car, and she can't just stay at the garage.
Out of desperation, he brings her home with him.
That turns out to be a big mistake...

The 6th book in the Sweet Life in Settle series.
Brody is the owner of a mechanic shop, and one day, a car gets towed in. Unlucky for him, the lady who owns that car has had a very rough day and shows up angry..and when it's not finished, she decides to head to get a drink... coming back several hours later and very drunk.
Brody can't send her home and takes her back to his place to sleep it off.
Still a little drunk the next morning, Nina gets back at her ex by sleeping with Brody.
Nina's ex-boyfriend tells her he has been cheating and breaks up with her on her birthday. Unfortunately, he's also her boss and she's without a job. The only person she has to talk to is the mechanic who helped her out on her most dark day.
The bond Nina and Brody have is unique and strong and not at all what anyone expects.
Following their relationship was intense and had me turning the pages.
This book has reverse Age-gap (not extreme) as well as friends to lovers.

Brody
I don't get why everyone was making a big deal about 8 years older, they are both over 30. If one was 18 or 21 then yes when they turn 30 they may change as a person as they are still learning about themselves but both was matured adults. It frustrated me as the reader. Plus Brody is a old soul.
I enjoyed the storyline but did feel it was to long, plus trying not to give spoilers did Brody really have to wait a month to know, would he? If felt off that bit to me and was not fun to read.
This author do fill pages up with sex so not for young readers, plus it needs to be pre read before release, This book has a sweetness about it both had hearts broken by another, yes they had chemistry but together they found love again after finding best friends first. Worth reading

Good overall
Brody and Nina were perfect for each other in this book.
I enjoyed the story and the characters overall. Though Brody did make a stupid decision. Like, really? Just, no. And he was miserable as a result. He knew the outcome wouldn't be good but he still did it. What a tool.
Thankfully, he got out of his boneheaded decision and made the right decision.
Their story was fun to read and experience through their eyes. Aside from his dumb decision. Haha. But even that made him truly appreciate everything he had.
The age aspect did get old though. 32 vs 40 really is nothing in the grand scheme. So the fact that everyone was so shocked was annoying. Like, grow up people, it's only 8 years! Ha.

I love this series and Too Much Like Love did not disappoint. We follow Brody and Nina and also revisit some familiar faces. Brody has a very rude customer show up to get her car repaired. It will take a while, so although annoyed, she shows up later to pick it up. Unfortunately, she is quite drunk. It is after hours, and he can't let her take her car when she's in that condition but he's afraid to send her off in an Uber like that. He brings her home with him and although she is horrified in the morning an unlikely friendship forms. There is a chemistry between them that surprises them both. The author has built a world that is a pleasure to read about and I look forward to #6 being published.

First of all, I love Brody. I liked him as a side character in the other books and I totally fell in love with him here.
I just did not feel the connection between him and Nina, though. I personally needed something to bind them together more, so I was very disappointed when
And at times it felt like the author threw Trevor in there so that there was somebody telling us that these two belonged together.
And what kind of nickname is Nina Banana? It doesn't make a lick of sense, it doesn't rhyme, it doesn't roll off the tongue. Seriously Brody, Nina Bandita was better.

Love this Series!!
I just love this series and Andrea did not disappoint with Too Much Like Love. I loved the Chemistry between Brody and Nina. It was great to see how the past characters were doing now and how everyone is connected. Andrea’s books are easy to read and follow and have just the right amount of drama that you don’t want to put the book down. Always a happy ending and the characters that you hate always get whats coming to them. Lol. I am looking forward to the next book.

Decent book
I'm very conflicted about what rating to give this book. I mostly like the works of this author but I have problems with this book. The problem is very much a personal preference for me and may not bother others. The story is good and is different in that the woman is older. My problem is that I thoroughly disliked most of the other characters in the book other than the two main characters. Both their families were nasty judgmental people. If you don't mind this kind of personality, you will most likely enjoy the book.

I was so excited for Brody to get his own story! I admit that I wasn't really feeling a sustainable connection between Brody and Nina initially. They really come from different worlds and didn't seem really compatible for the long term. But, I was wrong. They bring out the best in each other. She supports his dreams and he allows her to be herself. I cried at one point and laughed throughout the book. What a great book!

Another great story!!!
I love the Sweet Life in Seattle series. Too Much Like Love doesn't disappoint. The chemistry between Nina and Brody is off the charts. This book has all the feels, laughter, romance, pain, family, and hotness. Thanks for incorporating old characters in this new story. Looking forward to the next.

Loved it!
This s definitely my favorite book on the entire series. Loved how Nina and Brody’s story developed. Their intensity, tenderness and smoldering hot chemistry grabbed me from the start and could let go until the end. I’ll be standing on the side, hoping for the next installment of this awesome series.

Another Great Story!
I really liked this book as I did others in this series. I was so hoping the test would prove a different outcome but it all turned out fine in the end. Look forward to more books in this series.

Nina and Brody are the bomb!
What’s better then two self declared “strays” falling in love?
I hated Keira at the end, I wasn’t keen on Brody either tbh, but he came through in the end.
Great fifth book in the collection.

Enjoyable
Enjoyable read with good characters. I was rooting for Brody. Have a four star because the constant breakups were a bit irritating.

A beautiful story of friendship growing to love. A relationship that is so rocky, but will make you laugh, cry and swoon. A brilliant story.

Ja sorry ik wilde niet meer verder lezen... Zo wat iedereen lijkt giftig daar te zijn... 40 procent... Haar keuzes zijn niet echt slim

I thought that this book was very well written, but I found the ending to be a little rushed. The ending did not seem to flow with the rest of the book.
