— Swooon · TV & Books Editorial · 2026
★★★★ “There’s nothing quite better than reading about Logan putting in a Herculean effort of wooing his girl. It was cute, romantic and hilarious at the same time, with so many laugh-out-loud moments, especially with the boys getting more page time”
— Geri Reads · Goodreads ★★★★☆
★★★★ “Grace is an adorable girl with a heart of gold, a bit socially awkward but it worked. When they meet, they discover they are good together — they have fun, the normal and sexy type too, and Grace feels she hit the jackpot with Logan”
— Patrycja · Goodreads ★★★★☆
★★★★★ “I loved Grace and her babbling — she was a refreshing female MC who never annoyed me, not even once. I understood why it was so hard to trust Logan, but their relationship made me want to dance barefoot. They were witty, hot, funny, adorable!”
