I am so glad that I was given the chance to read this book! I absolutely adored Rose and Ash’s chemistry. Their sarcastic humor and snarky banter were the best. I am a huge sucker for instant love. And I adore it when a character obviously finds their person. While this book was a light-hearted, sweet romance, the characters were both flawed and exhibited extreme vulnerability. The story dealt with a myriad of tough issues. Grief, divorce, sexual dysfunction, and insecurity are just a few. The supporting characters in this story were the perfect addition. I loved Ash’s caring friends/crew. Every woman needs friends like Emma and Mia in their life. Rose’s sisters were fantastic too. I loved how each of their personalities and lifestyles meshed with the others. Their four-way chat dialog made me laugh out loud several times. It made me wish I had a sister too! The angst and fear Rose and Ash dealt with as their relationship developed felt realistic and not overdone. The spicy scenes were done exactly right too. I found myself fanning my face. Whew! I highly recommend this book to my fellow rom-com lovers. Thank you, @readforever, @kareliastetzwaters, and @netgalley for sending me an eARC of this book.

Fans of Abby Jimenez and Meryl Wilsner will fall in love with this hilarious and refreshingly authentic novel about second chances, pugs, and finding the perfect muse . . .
Business consultant Rose Josten might not have officially reached “pug lady” middle age, but she’s already got the pugs—along with their little Gucci coats and trash-lovin’ appetites. Still, life is good, with her work, her sisters, and a secret hobby creating incredibly tactile (if surprisingly sexy) mindfulness videos. So why does it feel like it’s not quite enough? Which is exactly when former filmmaker Ash Stewart enters camera left, and Rose’s world suddenly goes full technicolor . . .
Ash never looks at anyone. Not since her ex ripped her heart from her chest in Spielberg-esque style, crushing Ash’s reputation, dreams, and directorial career in one brutal blow. But Rose is altogether different. She’s curvy, beautiful, and just so damn put together. And her business expertise might be Ash’s best bet for getting her last film—and her last chance—financed. Now if they can just keep their attraction under wraps, Ash’s lost dream could finally come true. But are they creating movie magic . . . or setting the stage for disaster?
