A hilarious opposites attract romance where a swoony bartender who has sworn off relationships finds himself struck by the sassy beauty sipping on his cocktail... until she admits to be searching for a man to appreciate her extra curves in a very permanent sense.

I used to believe love was easy to find.
My whirlwind romance would begin once I was ready to take the plunge.
Spoiler alert—every failed first date on record suggests otherwise.

Just when I’m beginning to fault my lofty standards, Garrett Foster saunters onto the scene.
The football star turned bar owner is quick to volunteer his services.
He vows to deliver the best version of Mr. Right—just to prove first impressions deserve a second glance.

I’d question these seemingly selfless intentions if Garrett’s reputation didn’t answer for itself.
Shameless flirting aside, it’s well-known that the established bachelor doesn’t plan to settle down. Ever.
He treats commitment like a bad habit he kicked in college.
That makes him a very eligible sidekick.

At least until his actions start speaking louder than words.
Almost to the suggestive tune that he’s making me miss on purpose.
Or maybe I’m just falling for the guy who claims that he’s not the one for me…

A beautiful girl, searching for her forever, walks into a bar. The handsome bartender, known for only always temporary, takes one look and is inspired to make the pretty girl a pretty drink. He claims he'll be her wingman and help her find her forever. His mouth denies what his heart has already determined and his brain refuses to acknowledge. But the way he woos her with special drinks he gives clever names to speaks volumes.

Garrett Foster is one of the owners of Roosters Bar, and he's excellent at his job. He's the world's biggest flirt and always leaves the ladies satisfied, both at his bar and between the sheets. His life takes on a new focus the minute Grace Howard walks into his bar.

Grace is a new visitor to Knox Creek, invited out to Roosters by her best friend. Sure, the swoony, congenial bartender is easy on the eyes, but Grace isn’t interested in Mr. Right Now, no matter how much interest he's showing in her. So Garrett offers to be Grace's wingman and help her find Mr. Right.

You know when you wake up thinking about a book you read a few days ago that said book has made an impression, and Grace and Garrett have made themselves at home in my heart. With appearances from beloved characters, a couple of adorable kids, and a family that makes you feel like one of them, this one hits all the right notes. Charming, clever and funny, this sweet, steamy, unforgettable love story is guaranteed to make your romantic heart blissfully happy, so make sure you don’t miss it!

Grace and Garrett will be hard to top. His little extra touches for Grace, straws, and their banter kept me reading. Grace has decided to find a man to settle down with. She is done with dating going nowhere, and ready to settle down. Garrett is loving the single life; he will not settle down. While the two have over the top chemistry, they do not agree on the important topic of marriage. But when Garrett agrees to help Grace find Mr. Right, the fun begins. Garrett is swoon worthy!

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Grace & Garrett romance was so much fun. The banter between the two was so good and hilarious. This is a friends-to-lovers romance, Garrett isn't looking for love or a relationship and Grace is looking for her prince charming. Their chemistry is so strong and they care so much for each other.

Grace is the nanny of Garrett’s sisters kids the scene at the coffee shop where Bradley yells out to the man to ask him to marry his nanny was priceless. I loved seeing some of the characters from her others books in this story. Overall this was so good and I highly recommend this book.

Thank you Harloe Rae for the ARC.

Garrett and Grace are one of my new favourite book couples. Their banter was on point and I found myself LOL at so many of their little sayings.

Grace is looking for a guy to settle down with, she’s not interested in one night stands. While she’s out one night she sets her sights on the hot bartender, Garrett, until her friend tells her that she knows him and he is the one man in town who will never settle down.

There’s an instant connection between them though and plenty of flirty banter, but when Garrett finds out that Grace is looking for something serious he offers to help her find Mr Right.

I absolutely loved the maze scene…. IYKYK!
If you love a small town, friend to lovers romance with lots of spice and hilarious moments then you will want to read this 🩵

This was my first Harloe Rae book and it was so good!! It had me kicking and screaming. I laughed out loud so many times. Garrett is so funny and was such a golden retriever when it came to Grace.

It’s almost like love at first sight but both think it won’t work due to Garrett’s forever single status. He doesn’t want a serious relationship thanks to his ex, and Grace is looking to settle down. So the only reasonable thing to do? Be best friends while Garrett helps her find “the one.”

This arrangement doesn’t last very long without them entering somewhat of a fake relationship. But was it ever really fake!?

I loved Garrett and Grace so much! Can’t wait to read anything else Harloe writes. This is a must read!

I really wanted to love this one, but the cringeworthy dialogue really made that impossible for me. I think that the story & plot itself had potential to be something great, but for me it just didn’t work.

This book is actually a two star read *for me*. I originally gave this book a two stars but decided to add another star because I genuinely just don’t think it’s for me. The reason I say this is I don’t like romance novels when a main character agrees to/suggest one thing when they want another (grace asking for a one night when she knows she wants commitment) nor a man chasing a woman when it’s made clear he can’t/won’t/doesn’t want to provide her with what she clearly wants. A woman sticking around thinking/hoping/expecting a man to change for her ALWAYS grosses me out. I also don’t like the insta love trope

Additionally I did not like this authors style of writing there were a lot of puns but that wasn’t my issue with the writing. What I didn’t like was that I felt like both the inner thoughts of these characters & the dialogue between these characters was so unnatural. I was literally thinking “obody talks like that!” I almost quit this book at 10% then again at 60% but I’m not a DNF kinda girl.

I also didn’t like how quickly Garett moved once he decided he was interested. Roles completely reversed I almost got whip lash lol.

What I did like about this was it was a unique type of friends to lovers. I never seen a friendship START in a friends to lovers novel, BOTH characters be initially attracted to each other & then become partners. I have read FWB to lovers but I still don’t consider this that type of romance novel.

I don’t know if I’ll read anymore by this author but I am intrigued by the side characters stories Joy/Cole, Harper/, & Ridge/Callie

I think this might be my favorite Harloe Rae book yet! 😍

Grace has decided that she's giving up on the one night stands life & she's searching for Mr. Right. But then she goes to the bar with her friend & is instantly attracted to Garrett, the bartender. Despite his attempts to charm her pants off, Grace determines they can only be friends unless he's ready for commitment. So he sets out to "help" her find Mr. Right which inspires some really fun scenes throughout the book.

This is one of the funniest books I’ve read in quite awhile! Their banter is just so much fun & when he's "helping" her find Mr. Right by sending her photos of models?! I laughed so hard at the scene where she tried to subtly call him out on his game. I really loved all the fun cocktails that he made for her & all the fun straws he used after she called him / the bar out for having such tiny straws.

Grace is a rather confident plus sized woman (as she should be!) & has a run in with a jerk at the bar. But the way that Garrett came to her rescue?! Melted my heart straight into a puddle! I really liked the way the plus sized rep was done in this book! The way he worshipped her & her curves in all the intimate scenes was perfect 🩵

Features:
- strangers to friends to lovers
- plus size representation
- spicy piercings

4.5/5⭐️
3/5🌶️

This was such a FUN read! It was so different from anything I’ve read recently. It was hot but also kept me laughing the entire time.

Yours to Catch is a standalone following Garrett & Grace. Garrett is an former football player turned bar owner in the small town of Knox Creek. He’s the town’s infamous playboy who can’t be tied down. That is at least until he meets Grace, his niece’s new nanny who knocks him on his a**. Only problem? Grace is ready to settle down & looking for a committed relationship only. Garrett wants her in basically any capacity he can have her so they become close friends. He tells her he’ll help her find Mr. Matrimony & she’ll ward off some of the unwanted attention from all the women around town. So what happens when their chemistry can’t be denied anymore & the lines of their friendship become blurred…

The banter between these two is unmatched! Garrett & Grace are one of my new favorite book couples. I related to Grace a lot & how insecure she feels with her curves & I loved the fact that Garrett loved them, always making sure she knew just how perfect she was in his eyes. I love to see the playboy brought to his knees by the right woman. Garrett was so gone for Grace, way before he even realized it! Yours to Catch is definitely one of my new favorite friends to lovers books 💙

Tropes:
- Small Town
- Ex Football Player
- Tattooed Bar Owner
- Friends to Lovers
- Opposites Attract
- Reformed Playboy
- Pierced MMC
- Curvy FMC
- Lots of banter

Well, hello Garrett! 

This newest story from Harloe Rae is full of smexy times, swoons, and laughs aplenty!

This is the story of Garrett and Grace.

Grace is ready to find her forever, and she makes no apologies for it. I admire that. When she meets Garrett, the sparks fly, but she knows that he doesn't want to give her what she needs.

I also love the fact that Grace is a curvy gal with the insecurities that sometimes go with it. But I love the fact that she embraces her curves and fights the insecurities in her head and in the world.

Now Garrett, bartender extraordinaire. He is everything you would want in a hero, except for a past that has scarred him to the point where he is determined to stay single forever. He has quite the reputation in Knox Creek, and it takes someone like Grace to really see him.

From funny drink straws to witty comebacks, you get it all in this story! I fell hard for this story, and you will too!

Garrett and Grace meet and they are both attracted to each other, but soon find out they want very different things. Garrett is happily single, and Grace wants her Prince Charming. They both like each other so they decide to become friends, and Garrett is going to help find her prince. The more time they spend together the more they feel. Can they be together? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing Book. I absolutely love Garrett and Grace and their dynamic. Great supporting characters. This book has humor, sarcasm, and the absolute best banter. Friends to lovers is my favorite trope and it is done perfectly in this book.

Words can’t describe just how much I loved this book!

From the very start, I’m immersed in the world that Harloe creates, falling in love with Garrett and Grace with each turn of the page.

These two are definitely #relationshipgoals and I couldn’t love them more if I tried.

Five stars for this amazing read that definitely had me wishing for more pages to turn when it was all said and done.

Yours to Catch is a fun, insanely flirty, and heartfelt story. Grace is ready to settle down and say goodbye to hook ups. Garrett is the hot bartender with all the cheesy flirty banter that will never settle down. The moment these two see each other the chemistry is there and hard to ignore, but once they find out each others dating goals, they are friend zoning each other. Until Garrett offers to help Grace. These two take us on a hilariously banter filled journey that will have Garrett giving you all the cheese and flirty lines that you can’t help but laugh. As these two spend more time together the closer they become, but won’t cross that line that becomes harder to ignore. Will these two give in or will their past experiences and stubborn ways ruin what possibly could be amazing? I loved their story and could not put it down!

This was the absolute cutest friends to lovers romance! I really enjoyed how they didn’t start out as friends but instead we got to see them go from strangers to friends to lovers. Grace is looking for the love of her life and Garrett has sworn off relationships (of course) so while Grace is attracted to Garrett, she doesn’t want to waste her time on something that isn’t serious. I enjoyed their interactions and the way they got to know each other and had their own little quirks for each other. What will change to make Garrett realize that he doesn’t have to hold onto his past hurt and can let someone love him instead?

I really enjoyed this book! Grace and Garrett were adorable together. Honestly, I’ve never been super into the “small town” romance trope before, but this one and the first book in this series, Wrong For You, have both been excellent. The chemistry between them was sizzling! And I loved that she wanted a commitment but he definitely did not (due to being hurt in the past)… she didn’t push him or try to change his mind, just let him be himself and come around on his own. This was a fantastic read!

The love I have for this book is endless! Garrett and Grace take the friends-to-lovers trope to a whole new level. Their banter and love for one another is beautiful.

These two have both been hurt in the past and it's made their views on love very different. Garrett doesn't believe love is for him and is determined to stay single forever. Grace is a romantic and wants the whole shebang with love and marriage.

Garrett brings the swoon! It takes him awhile to realize what he's feeling but once he does, he's so gone for her. Grace is such an amazing character and I want to be friends!

I love how Garrett makes Grace feel beautiful and adored. She shows him that true love and loyalty exists. Their banter is top notch and hilarious! I especially liked the dirty jokes back and forth between them because it is so similar to my own humor.

Hilarity, love and spice abound in this fabulous book. I can't recommend it enough!

I received an ARC for an honest review.

This friends to lovers story had me laughing and falling in love right from the start. The banter and chemistry between Grace and Garrett is off the charts. I’m still smiling over words and scenes that continue to make me giggle like a little kid. There’s nothing like reading in public and you start laughing so hard you struggle to breathe. Then everyone stares. That was me with this story. You need this in your life. Grab it and enjoy.

I absolutely LOVED this book! The chemistry between this couple was straight up FIRE!!! I devoured this smokin’ hot romance from cover-to-cover because I just could not get enough of Grace and Garrett.

This friends-to-lovers romance is a new favorite from the author. She created a female character that is beautiful and curvy and a sexy bartender that can’t get enough of her. He may have sworn to be forever single, but resisting Grace is impossible. Garrett’s going to have to go all in if he wants to get his girl because she is all about the knight in shining armor with the fairy tale ending. Grace is the girl you cherish and never let go.

Sexually charged banter that leads to intense moments, will have sparks flying. The tension definitely comes to a head and this couple is explosive. They are so fun and just a joy to read. Totally recommend and this couple quickly became a favorite!

I give it 5 fruity cocktail stars! So yummy 😋

I must be in an alternate reality, because this book has a ton of great reviews, but pretty early on this author wrote “shero worship” as if there isn’t already a feminine form of the word hero in existence. Maybe unnecessary made up words don’t bother you, let’s move on to when she writes “Then I hop out of the cab to rescue the stereotype attempting to cross the road.” When I tell you she is talking about a turtle…I audibly gasped. This is only slightly less nonsensical than the part of the story where Garrett describes Grace as sweeter than frosting on apple pie, because everyone associates frosting with apple pie & turtles with crossing roads. The dialogue was so absurd, it was like they just said let’s see how many different juvenile ways we can say penis and vagina or use different euphemisms for sex acts. Getting kicked out of the flag football game because they couldn’t keep their hands off each other for ONE PLAY, ridiculous. There is hot & steamy & sexy and then there is campy & lazy & silly. I’ll let you guess what this was. You can not convince me a professional wrote this book. And if they did, it had to be a dare.

I DNF'd this at 43% when the author inserted a positive review of her own writing and specifically 'Leave him Loved' in the words of her FMC.

Lots of folks have covered the excessive and almost aggressive use of euphemisms for genitals, etc... It isn't to my taste and felt fairly overblown and juvenile.

I did get a good giggle from the fmc referring to her hometown as "an expansive city" of under 100k people, though.

Edit to note that this is my first time reading her books, and I don't plan to try another.

I was generously given an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

f: Grace
m: Garrett
(Dual POVs)

Even though these two share an immediate attraction, they want things in life that are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Grace wants a committed relationship that will hopefully lead to her HEA, and Garrett refuses to get involved in a relationship due to things from his past. Grace is adamant about not compromising her dreams, so they decide to strike up a friendship.

This one was a bit more quirky than I’m used to from this author, but I was not mad. She’s not afraid to go a bit outside the norm with her descriptions or words that she uses. A few examples include: penis fly trap and meat sword. If this isn’t your thing, I’m not so sure this will be the book for you.

I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of different spice elements throughout the story. Of course you have the classic dirty talking hero, but there’s also the usage of bedroom accessories, mirrors, and some entry level back door play. The best part, IMO, is the fact that Garrett is a man who not only appreciates a plus size figure, but loves to worship a woman with extra curves and make her feel desired. Getting his thoughts on how he viewed Grace’s body was making me feel desirable and more confident with my curves!

I can’t leave a review and not mention THE ONION RING SCENE! I will never look at onion rings the same. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard, out loud, over a book in my life. I was so tickled by it and I’d go as far as saying it was one of my favorite parts of the book. I don’t think I’ll be able to think of this book in the future and not think of this scene! It will live rent free in the back of my mind for some time to come!

I greatly appreciated that the author didn’t immediately end the book when the characters finally saw eye to eye. I liked getting to see the couple navigate their relationship with the compromises they made. There was a small twist towards the end that seemed a bit random to me. I felt like the book would’ve been a well rounded story, even without it.

Favorite Quotes:
“For the record, any man worth the oxygen in his lungs would gladly take his final breath from between your thighs.” -Garrett

“No guy has ever gone out of his way to do a fraction of what you did for me tonight. I feel appreciated and beautiful and seen. Do you know what that means to a girl who has battled confidence issues most of her life? Let me tell you. It means everything, Garrett. -Grace

“I’m an ignorant mule who needs several spanks to his ass before he considers behaving. Probably a few swift kicks too. Be patient with me.” -Garrett

Yours To Catch is a sweet friends to lovers romance that will have you laughing out loud throughout and is Grace and Garrett's extremely addictive story.
Grace may only be twenty three but she knows what she wants, she wants a husband and a family, she's looking for forever and she wants it as soon as possible. Which is why she shouldn't be extremely attracted to their small town's most ineligible bachelor.
Garrett has been hurt in the past and has sworn off relationships, they only lead to pain and he's not willing to let his heart be broken again but that doesn't stop the sparks from flying between him and Grace. He's a casual kind of guy he can give Grace an phenomenal night but he can't give her everything she wants and deserves.
So what's the best thing to do when you're incredibly attracted to the one person you can't have? Become friends and help her find her perfect guy. Surely nothing will go wrong with that plan?!
Of course spending time together and talking about what Grace wants in her future husband is making it way too easy to fall and the sparks between them have turned into an inferno they can only deny for so long and when they do finally cross the line from friends to something more neither Grace or Garrett could of predicted how right being together would feel.
Unknowingly Garrett has either become her perfect guy or he's been the perfect guy the whole time he just didn't realise it, but he cannot move past the feeling that he isn't meant for forever.
"It could be him. Should be, based on the warmth his touch fills me with. But I respect his restrictions and refuse to push."
Garrett may call Grace his soulmate but will he realise how true that sentiment is before it's too late?
Read Yours To Catch now to find out!
I absolutely LOVED Yours To Catch, it was so addictive I could not put it down and ended up reading it in one sitting, it was that good! Yours To Catch and Garrett and Grace have now become my favourite book and couple of Harloe's, it was truly phenomenal I could not get enough of these characters who stole my heart! Harloe Rae does small town romance amazingly well, with her lovable characters and addictive storylines it's no wonder she's one of my favourite authors! I cannot wait until I can get my hands on Harloe's next book, I'll be counting down the days!

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰’𝒎 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆. 𝑴𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆. 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔. 𝑰’𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒓. 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑.”

This was such a sweet and fun friends-to-lovers romance. Garrett and Grace could not have been more polar opposite when it came to their views on relationships. Garrett is not looking for love or a relationship, while Grace is looking for her prince charming.

When Grace walks into his bar he’s absolutely blown away by her stunning beauty, and he leans in hard with the flirting, witty banter and specialty drinks. There’s an instant connection between them, but when Garrett realizes shes looking for more than a one night stand, he offers to be her wingman and help her find her Mr. Right. But will he be able to swear off being single forever or will resisting Grace be an impossible feat?

This book is narrated in dual by Joe Arden and Avery Caris, and they did such a phenomenal job! They nailed the humor, dirty jokes, sexually charged banter, tension, and spicy times effortlessly. Don’t even get me started on the onion ring scene! I dont think I’ll ever be able to look at them the same way again!

Joe brought the swoon, cheesy lines, playfulness, and flirty banter to the forefront of this story. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed so much in a book, and Joe had no issues with rendering that problem. And every time he called Grace “soulmate” just melted my heart or melted my Kindle.

Avery brought the fun, loving, curvacious Grace to life impeccably! Even with the insecurities in her head about her body, she also embraced her curves beautifully! Avery nailed Grace’s hopeless romantic side and desire for happily ever after exquisitely! This was also my first time hearing her kid’s voice, and they were phenomenal! Can’t wait to hear more of her work!

Yours to Catch (ARC review)

Thank you to Harloe Rae for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review

I'll eat anything Harloe Rae writes and especially a book with an incredible plus size heroine. Grace is me and I'm Grace. I loved each minute of this book because of her. I loved her confidence, her passion, her insecurities cause they made her so relatable and of course her hopeless romantic side cause it's time to embrace it more and take the shame that it's creeping around it. I found it so beautiful that she wanted to find her forever man and that she had her list when it came to what she deserved because she deserved the world. And I'm so glad she found that in Garrett cause that man was made for her and he was her other half. They may have been total opposites on what they wanted on their love life but they found a common ground due to their incredible chemistry and need for eachother. You could see their attraction and desperation for eachother. Hw they needed to spend their free time together like they were eachother's addiction. Garrett was so carefree, set on being single and such a possessive and protective golden retriever as a hero. He would do anything for Grace and he did. I loved how he was attracted to her from the first moment, how he loved everything about her and how he praised her every time. I was gone for them like they were gone for eachother. Their intimate and sexy moments gave me everything I needed for this book to become my comfort and the epilogue gave them the perfect ending these two beautiful people deserved. Totally a must read cause I literally couldn't put it down!

Book by: Harloe Rae
Tropes:
• Small town romance
• Friends to lovers
• Opposites attract
• Plus size FMC
• Golden retriever MMC
• Fake dating

Soul mate struggles!

Grace has insta-lust for Garrett but she's looking for happy ever after whilst Garrett is only wanting right now. When they get closer will either one compromise on what they're looking for? The attraction is hot between them but Garrett has already been betrayed once and is wary of any attachments. His feelings for Grace are strong and get stronger the more he sees her. Can he push the past aside and find what he needs with Grace or will he hold onto his fears? Can Grace get him to open up and share his fears or will she find her HEA with someone else?
This was an entertaining read with hilarity and fun, two people connecting and making a future that's just for them!

Sweet, steamy, and downright tickled me to no end ....this super swoony love story was just too adorable for words!

Now I love pretty much anything by Harloe Rae and this was no exception. It was super cute, ultra sweet, and like the perfect cocktails Garrett serves up at Roosters Bar.... it had me savoring every last drop!

Grace Howard is a gal who's been there and done that with casual meaningless hookups and looking for her forever partner. Too bad the only man who seems to wet her whistle is a panty dropping bartender who avoids commitment like it's the plague.

Garrett Foster is the whole package. A ex footballer who's irresistibly charming, witty, tatted, and has the kind of magnetic sex appeal that keeps the ladies flocking to his bar just hoping to be his lucky number for the night.

So riddle me this...a girl walks into a bar with matrimony on her mind. The guy who wants her isn't looking for anything serious but vows to deliver her Mr. Right. But, what's a gal to do when the only guy she's falling for claims he’s not the one for her…

GAH! Garrett and Grace completely stole my heart with their story! I loved the playfulness they had with one another, the fun and witty banter, and the simmering attraction that burned bright between them. The way in which Garrett made Grace feel beautiful and seen was just everything.

All I can say is grab a bendy straw and drink the Kool-aid because this story was an absolute DELIGHT from beginning to end! You have a fun opposites attract romance, small-town charm, comic relief and laugh-out-loud moments, a sweet feisty heroine, a loveable hero who will steal your heart, and enough chemistry to light up your Kindle. Completely worthy of a 1-Click, you’ll absolutely love this sexy, humorous and heartfelt story!

Yours to Catch by Harloe Rae is a fun, sweet, and spicy friends to lovers romance for Grace and Garrett that you don’t want to miss!! Grace is a curvy, hopeless romantic determined to find love, despite being hurt by jerks in the past. The universe has a sense of humor when she finds herself drawn to Garrett Foster, part-owner of Roosters Bar and adamant bachelor and commitment-phobe. Their views on love couldn’t be more different, but the connection between them is hard to explain. Garrett offers to help her find Mr. Right, but will he really be able to watch her be happy with someone else?

I loved every minute of this book! Garrett and Grace are both relatable with emotional scars from past relationships. It’s the way they choose to respond to those experiences that differs. While I wanted to be frustrated with Garrett at times, I just couldn’t, because he was so swoon worthy even when he didn’t realize it.😍 Honestly, from the very beginning the banter between them had me laughing. They were just so much fun together, whether it was witty or dirty banter, spicy scenes, or fun scenes with their friends, I couldn’t put this book down! I also enjoyed seeing more of Jake, Harper, and Sydney from Wrong for You, and I’m super curious about Ridge and the girl he likes!! I fully recommend this book! You’ll love “Bartender” and “Soulmate!”

Grace & Garrett

What a fun book!!! Grace struggles with being a plus size girl looking to find her one and only presents challenges. Garrett has been jilted in the past & has resigned to being single forever, playing the field & No committed relationships are for him. This book brings friendship, lust, love, family and lots of laugh out loud scenes to thr reader along with very steamy romantic encounters. ENJOY the read... I did. (reviewed by Lin)
