4.5/5⭐️
3.5/5🌶��

What started as a steamy hookup at a bar turns to panic when Lizzy discovers that the tattoo’ed hottie she was with is actually her best friend’s very off limits soon-to-be brother-in-law, Clay. Determined to resist their undeniable pull but bound to close proximity due to their wedding duties, the two are thrown even closer together when Lizzy’s living situation is suddenly uninhabitable due to Clay’s error. Clay offers Lizzy a place to live, not realizing how their nearness won’t let their chemistry fizzle out.

THIS STORY WAS SO FUN! I absolutely looooooved our main gal Lizzy: she’s so independent, feisty, takes-no-BS, aware and tough. She was the perfect yin to our story’s yang, Clay. He was broody and surly, but only enough that I didn’t find him unbearable�� a real possibility with that personality type! 😂 Don’t get me started on his thigh tattoos, his little reading glasses or HIS TASTE IN BOOKS. This man is literal book boyfriend perfection. And we can’t forget about my main fur squeeze Ani!! I absolutely adored Dakota’s storytelling and writing style in Full Send and absolutely couldn’t wait to get back into this world via Fall Apart. The depth of their characters and their complexities continue to shine through in this book, and I loved every minute!

What I Loved About This Story:
✨Animosity & enemies to roommates to lovers
✨Reverse age gap which made me feral! (She’s 35, he’s 28)
✨Trauma and hurt in his past; lack of trust due to her past partner
✨Friends with benefits�� maybe this time it’ll work!
✨Bad ass, firecracker FMC and a broody & moody MMC which I didn’t mind
✨We got to see our favorites from Full Send�� and MAYBE there is a pathway to the next story!

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book via the author, but my review is all my own.
