The Romantic Series Collection #2

ARC provided by NetGalley

Author: Melissa Foster

The second standalone in Melissa’s rom com collection, this one brings us grumpy x sunshine at its best. Destiny is a dog groomer with a dream of starting her marriage proposal planning business. She loves her furry clients, especially Molly, who belongs to “Grumpy Gus”. Leave it to Fate that Destiny’s first (and failed) marriage proposal will involve Grumpy and Molly! One disaster of epic proportions but that will lead Molly and Fletcher to finally know each other. 

Fletch has given up on love, but he decides to help Destiny with her business and she’ll help him by going to his brother’s wedding as his date. This way they’ll stop harassing him into “finding someone” again. As the weeks go by, their arrangement turns into a steamy “situationship” with them becoming integral parts of each other other’s lives. However, Fletcher doesn’t tick any boxes on her Mr. Right Checklist and Fletcher doesn’t even have a list… Maybe the stars will align and make them see they never needed any list. 

A very sweet yet spicy rom com that has some laugh out loud moments. If you are familiar with  Melissa, you will see some beloved characters from Harmony Pointe show up as Fletcher’s best friend is Talia Dalton. I loved catching up with them!

This book is exactly what it proposes to be: a fun, heartwarming ode to love. I loved how Destiny can find a silver lining in everything. Fletcher thinks he’s closed off to love until hurricane Destiny comes tearing down his walls.

Perfect for the fans of grumpy X sunshine romances with the signature secondary characters that Melissa does so well as well as the lovely fur babies! Grab a blanket, a cup of cocoa and enjoy!

AUDIO REVIEW: Narrated by Sebastian York and Savannah Peachwood, who are perfectly cast as the grumpy professor (and no one does grumpy better than Sebastian!) and the peppy, there is always a silver lining wedding proposal planner. They bring these characters to life brilliantly! A great audio experience!

Thanks, NetGalley, Brilliance Audio and Melissa for the ARC.
