I can save you from reading this book.

They're slight enemies, she gets in his car and he proposes. The end.

You're welcome.

You cannot convince me this wasn't written by a 12 year old who doesn't know how relationships or real life works.

The whole idea of him waiting for her to turn 18 when they basically grew up as siblings gives me major ick vibes

[Bookish Voodoo · Rating 2 out of 5]

28 pages of it could've been better. No love felt between Ren and Aaron. Just saying they have been in love forever does not translate to the reader feeling it.

This book was alright I guess? It's really hard to love a book that's only 26 pages. You don't really see much of their love so it just feels like instalove even though they've known and loved each other for years. There wasn't much of a story and suddenly they're living happily ever after. But I don't know what more I was expecting from a book this short.

The spice scenes were good, although again incredibly short, and I liked the concept of the xoxo notes, but I just wanted more. I feel like I've ended the book not knowing these characters at all.

XOXO by MK Moore  is a short novella about Ren and Aaron who have both loved each for years without each other knowing. Once Ren turned 18, Aaron went full throttle to let her know how he felt. He was surprised when Ren was completely on board. Very fast-paced. Glimpses into the possible relationship between Ren's brother and Aaron's sister for next book.

I thought that this was a really sweet book. I really enjoyed Ren and Aaron. These two have been in love with each other for years but Ren was clueless and Aaron was waiting for Ren to turn 18 as they could marry asap. There is no drama in this book just sweetness and steam.

Okay, I know it says short story, but it's literally the shortest. The plot was wtf. If you need an X book for the alphabet reading challenge or the world's quickest read, this is the only thing the book is good for. However, for anything else.... it's trash. Sorry, this is probably my most brutal rating.

[Jaidyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5⭐️ Umm well it fulfilled my “X” category on my A-Z challenge. Granted it was only 52 pages but there was definitely room for expansion on the plot.

This was so so dumb. Lord help me

[Erin :bookshelvesandbubbly]

I read this only to knock off "X" from the alphabet challenge. 🫠

Short and Smutty

Read this because I needed an X book for my ABC challenge. It was short and smutty which I love but was kinda cheesey in a kind of cute way.

[Jordan Everett · Rating 1 out of 5]

Only read this to check the X off of my ABC challenge for the year. Gosh dang, should have saved myself the 20 minutes.

M.K. Moore debuts her brand new XOXO series with a fast-paced, sweet and super steamy short romance celebrating young love. Aaron and Ren have grown up together - his sister Ren's best friend, and her brother his. He has loved her almost as long, and as she approached her eighteenth birthday, he has been wooing her with anonymous post-it notes every morning, signed simply XOXO. On her birthday, Aaron plans an elaborate celebration to make his feelings known - and claim her as his. A quick, fun, high-heat low-drama, sexy read!

I loved this story, it melted my heart and made me want to melt. Aaron has always loved his sister's friend, Ren. Being older he knew he had to wait, but that did not stop him from showing her in his own ways. Leaving notes on her window.

Ren felt that Aaron never saw her, she wanted nothing more to show him how much he meant to her. After she graduated that changed more than she expected. (love it)

This was a sweet love story that you won't want to put down.

So sweet

Loved this quick read from MK. Aaron and Ren were meant to be together, and Aaron knew this the first time he saw Ren. All he had to do was wait for her to become of age. On her 18th Birthday Aaron finally claims his woman. Ren has loved Aaron for as long as she can remember so it was a shock and relief when he picks her up from school and tells her his plan. This was a quick one with a HEA!!

[Cherie Snyder · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute, sweet, and steamy short story!

Aaron and Ren have been in love with each other since they were little kids. Aaron has been writing love noted to her and leaving them on her window sill. He always signs them with XOXO. On Ren's 18th birthday, all of her dreams are finally coming true. This a cute and sweet story with plenty of steamy time. I would love to read Beckett and Avaline's story!!

Ren and Aaron story, Aaron is Rens brothers best friend and Ren is Aaron’s sisters best friend. Met when they were 4 and 6 years old. Aaron knew by 10 years old that he loved Ren and that she was the one he was going to marry

Everyone knows he loves her except her and everyone knows she loves him but him.

No one in family told them and wanted them to figure it out together

Dual Virgins- never wanted anyone else not even kiss

4 kids and pregnant again 10+ years later

[Lisa Parker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aaron has always loved Ren, but she seems to be the only one that does not know it. He has been waiting for her eighteenth birthday.

Ren has loved Aaron, but he does not know she exists. She is determined to tell him and hope for the best.

This is a sweet story, young, first love.

I received an Advance Readers Copy of this book with no obligation to write a review.

Has to be more there 📚

The book only has like 5 to 7 pages... barely even started telling a story. Something is definitely missing in the story. Would like to read the completed book for this isn’t it.

My Rating: 1 star 🌟

[Lizette Diaz · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Shyla · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hot

Aaron and Ren have loved each other forever. Only problem is that neither knows how the other feels. Aaron decides on Rens birthday to tell her how he feels. This is such a quick and hot read. A definite one click.

[Michele · Rating 4 out of 5]

A mutual love that new has a clue of the other. A sweet short romance that’s always been in the works from the time they first met. With the help of some key family members will this romance go off without a misstep.

I'm sorry, but this is soooo bad. I read a lot of novellas before, I know how well written it can get, and this is really low effort, badly written, I can't even get the feel of love from both of them :(

The conversation are too fast and too cringe

[Deanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story. It was a great short read. So hot and interesting. I could read again and again. Definitely a must read.

Awwwwww

The cutest quickie ever!!!!! Ohhh young love!!! Everything just fell into place for them so nicely.. Aaron didn’t even get the I’LL KILL TOU OF YOU HURT MY SISTER talk… Speaking of brother, I really hope they have their own story

[Tassie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not bad at all. Super quick spicy read! Perfect if you’re looking for that X book on the A-Z reading challenge!!

I did feel as though they moved way too quick into marriage but it worked out perfectly for them I guess!
