One crazy heroine.
One persistent detective.
One dog who just won't listen to its owner.
Put is all together and you have the makings for a romance that is light on the angst and heavy on the sweet and sexy.
Fawn is an interesting heroine. Just like Levi, her new hot neighbor, I thought she was a nutjob at first. Upon closer inspection, she's just a nut who's a bit klutzy, which I can relate to. And even though each encounter with Fawn is ridiculous, Levi is immediately intrigued.
The connection between the Fawn and Levi is slow to develop. Frankly, if it wasn't for her dog, Muffin, they'd be over before they ever started anything. Why? Because Fawn is a nut. For some bizarre reason, a gorgeous neighbor, who is beyond kind, and seems to have a definite interest in her, is something she'd rather avoid. Not sure why other than referring to her previously mentioned behavior.
"You're making me dizzy."
Although Levi is Alpha, being a NY detective and not letting up in his pursuit of Fawn, he really is the ultimate sweetheart.
The cake.
The dog walks.
Making breakfast.
Offering protection at every step.
All of it is there for the reader to swoon.
"I'm lost in you, baby."
He is also super patient with Fawn, making sure he doesn't move too fast. However, one sweet gesture by Fawn over the holidays really sets everything into motion. And it also provides some humor with guest overload.
As book one in a new series from the author, this book has plenty of side characters, whom I've already started paring off. We'll see what direction the author takes the other stories, but I would guess Fawn's two sisters, Libby and Mackenzie "Mac", will each get their own story. I also think Lucas, Levi will either be part of one of their stories, or get his own too. But we'll just have to wait and see. With Fawn and Levi's crazy mom's becoming reunited BFFs, we are also likely to see more from them.
Other than the couple's story, there is a side story involving one of Fawn's students and a suspect that Levi is chasing. I thought this was a little predictable but it did provide opportunity for both of the main characters to realize that life is short and fast track their future.
If you are looking for a super swoon-worthy book boyfriend, this book might have just what you are looking for.
Fawn Reed has decided she is giving up on the dating game, there are too many rules to follow and it always leaves her feeling like love is just not possible. Fawn inadvertently runs into a man while jogging, he is stunningly gorgeous but getting flustered she storms off.
Levi Fremont has moved with his new job as homicide detective in NYC. Levi certainly is interested in Fawn and when he realizes that she is skittish about him, he acts on it.
**SPARKS FLY**
What an amazing start to a new series by Aurora Rose Reynolds! Sassy school teacher meets Alpha detective.
I absolutely love all the words Aurora Rose Reynolds writes! She never disappoints!
If you loved the Until series you will love this one as well. Fawn and Levi's story is funny, enduring, and believable. Toss in a side of crazy family members, an ill manners pup and some heartbreaking moments, you have a recipe for success. Could not but it down and can't wait for the next book in the series.
I'm a fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds. I've read every book of her Until series and the spin offs as well. This one did not disappoint. I have to say that it does have some similarities, like Levi and his similar alpha male qualities to the Mayson brothers.
I thought that Fawn was a bit of goof and ditzy but I liked her. Her goofy qualities reminded me of... well, me.
It was a good read and I look forward to the rest of the series!
What a way to start a serious! Aurora Rose Reynolds brings us a sweet and funny love story that will have you cracking up. We are introduced to Fawn Reed, a fifth grade teacher. She literally runs into Levi Fremont, an NYPD Detective. Fawn is quirky, stubborn, caring, clumsy, sometimes awkward and funny with out-of-control hair. Levi is your classic alpha! He is a hot, kind and chivalrous guy. The banter between Fawn and Levi is great!
There are so many fun one liners!
“You must be a natural blonde.”
“And you must be a natural asshole.”
When you add in an animal it's even funnier. Fawn has an Irish wolfhound named “Muffin” and the scenes with her are just laugh out loud funny!
“What the hell is that thing?” he asks as his eyes drop to Muffin, who is trying to push past me to get to him.
“It’s a chicken. Now do you have my headphones or not?”
Of course both Fawn and Levi come from crazy families! So when they meet…complete chaos!
This was such a light and fun read! I flew through the book. It flowed really well and definitely a new classic for Aurora Rose Reynolds. If you want a “pick me up and take me away”- then this is for you. No one writes hot alpha/strong female/romantic love stories like Aurora Rose Reynolds! I look forward to the next book in the Fluke My Life series. I think it will be Levi’s brother, Lucas’s story……
4.5 stars
Love Aurora Rose Reynolds's books! They are fun and cute, just the thing to relax and enjoy a day of reading.
4.5 Stars!
When it comes to Aurora Rose Reynolds novels, I've come to expect a few things.
1. A Badass Alpha Male
2. A stubborn Heroine
3. A relationship that will no doubt set my kindle on fire.
Running Into Love gave me all of the above plus so much more!
Levi is a hot as hell detective who has just moved to New York and is currently working for the NYPD. While out jogging he would have never guessed waking up that morning that love would find a way of barreling into him. Fawn hasn't had the best of luck in the relationship department. So when she literally runs into Levi she has no clue what hit her but what she does know is that she is insanely attracted to this man. Imagine the surprise when they come to a realization that they are now neighbors.
I loved the hell out of Fawn and Levi. Running Into Love was everything that I expected from a novel written by Aurora Rose Reynolds. Levi is a badass alpha-male with a heart of gold. He knows what he wants and will do anything in his power to get it.
Then we have a quirky and at times very stubborn female Fawn who is completely oblivious to the signals that Levi is throwing her way. I loved these scenes between Levi and Fawn. They were adorably sexy!
Even the secondary characters were spot on and entertaining.
Running Into Love left me wanting more from the Fluke My Life world. I cannot wait to see what Aurora Rose Reynolds has in store for us next. I need more from these characters!
I really enjoyed reading this new installment by ARR. It was very refreshing and it made me laugh so much. I loved both characters and their connection and attraction was real. I'm not going to go into the content because that's what the blurb is for, but if you are looking for a lite read with lot's of funny, steamy and heart melting moments this is the book!
Running into Love has that Aurora Rose Reynolds ‘feel’ you get while reading her books. It’s sweet, light hearted, sexy, and fun. It has a alpha man and an adorable heroine. I was excited to read it when I saw the cover and synopsis, and I liked it a lot!
Fawn is a teacher who lives in NYC. She’s got two sisters and parents she loves, but she’s about done with men. She’s had some bad experiences here lately and she’s over it. Levi is a detective and moves across the hall in Fawns building. They have a fantastic meeting and from there, you can tell Levi is very into Fawn. And Fawn is a bit obvious at first…
I thought this couple was so cute together. I liked Fawn and Levi both. I also loved all the fun side characters. Their families were both fantastic. Seriously, the moms especially were such a hoot. Also, I’m hoping for some spin off books for Fawn’s sisters and Levi’s brother!
The story was on the lighter side, but due to the nature of Levi’s job, there was a bit of a mysterious/suspenseful side story. It was a small part of the book, but still added a little something. Honestly, overall, this book was just so much fun to read. If you’re looking for a fun, entertaining, sweet and steamy read, pick this one up!
Fawn and Levi are new neighbors who met just before Levi moved in when she crashed into him while they were out running.
This book aims for light-hearted and comedic, but doesn't quite hit the mark. I found her annoying, not cute. Sometimes this happens in a book but then the character grows on me and I end up liking the character. This time, unfortunately, I never came to invest in the character of Fawn. This naturally affected my enjoyment of the book.
I loved the author’s original Until series. The other books of hers that I have read have been hit or miss with me, but I was excited to see she had a new title coming out and jumped at the chance to read it. This book did not disappoint. I loved everything about it.
Levi is instantly attracted to Fawn, but he can tell she isn’t ready, so he takes things slowly. Fawn is instantly attracted to Levi, but she doesn’t think he shares the attraction. She thinks she’s been friend-zoned. It was so much fun watching their relationship develop from friends into something more.
“I’m going to say this one more time and pray to god this shit finally sinks in. I like you. I like spending time with you. I want this thing with you to work out even though you are frustrating as fuck.”
Fawn’s dog, Muffin, is a big part of this book too. She often steals the show with her antics. And did I mention Fawn and Levi’s families? They are both hilarious. Their mothers are too much – in the best way. They aren’t subtle about anything. Fawn sisters are great, and if I understand correctly, they will be the focus of future books in this series.
Overall, this was a quick read. It was funny and sweet, but included some serious and heartbreaking moments as well. I can’t wait for the rest of this series.

Great start to a brand new series. Lighthearted, funny and romantic.
I liked the character of Fawn Reed. On one hand she was strong, independent, and compassionate. While on the other Fawn was clumsy, dorky, funny and a member of a tight knit family so close nothing is taboo or off limits in conversation. Fawn's sister are a great tease for what's to come in this series and I know their books will be just as entertaining.
Fawn has a new neighbor- a hot, sexy new neighbor named Levi who just so happens to be a NYPD detective. While Fawn can't seem to stay on feet around Levi as she becomes as bumbling mess around him, Levi has been knocked off his by his charming and sexy neighbor. I loved the naive Fawn who has no clue her sex appeal and attraction to members of the opposite sex. Feeling like the frumpy sister she just never saw herself as one to capture the attention of a hot man. No fear- Levi has that cinched that problem because he just cannot seem to think of anything but Fawn. He seems to be having a hard time convincing Fawn that he likes her and finds it difficult to show her because she like avoiding him. Levi was absolutely adorable, lovable and of course sexy, but his personality and devotion is what I found most appealing.
Levi struggles with finding the right one as he has a job that takes him away at all hours of the day and doesn't care what special occasion is going on. Fawn's dad is also a detective and she doesn't even flinch about Levi's job, which of course he also finds irresistible. Despite her attempts, Levi will not allow Fawn to hide from her or push him away. He knows the connection they share is one that is once in a lifetime and he will patiently wait until she understands what she means to him. SWOON!
Sweet romance that eventually brings together two families that are hilarious and oh my gosh so embarrassing. I can't wait to read more about them all.
Levi and Fawn bump into each other on the street and later find they are new neighbors. In true ARR style the Hero immediately knows he likes the heroine and pursues her. I liked that. He is a NYPD cop and he is very determined.
Fawn is a bit of a homebody with a big dog called Muffin, but ofcourse she has a super big heart, is gorgeous but does not realize that. At first I thought it cute, but I started to think she was a bit of a ditz. She was so clueless sometimes and when they had certain conversations I got some Kristen Ashley vibes. Some unneccessary drama was thrown in after the 80% mark.
Overall: It is a good romance following the ARR formula which will appeal to many readers. Not bad at all! 3 big stars.
4.5 STARS

If you have read Aurora Rose Reynolds' "Until", "Until her", "Until him" series, this book is also a typical ARR book - Funny, Swoon worthy , a Totally hot Alpha-male and a sassy heroine.
Fawn Reed - Fawn has sworn off men because of her past disastrous dating life. She is a little dorky - with cute tshirts with different nerd quotes, she is innocent, beautiful with blonde hair and blue grey eyes, and you can totally relate to her when she reacts to our <b> hot, detective LEVI </b>
Levi - He is a typical Aurora designed Alpha Male. He knows he likes Fawn and he has vowed to break all her walls. And He Does..
Plot - There is an interesting mini thriller story in the backdrop of the plot which keeps things interesting. There is no mystery but it is still interesting to see Levi at Work, him being detective and all..
Side Characters - Both Fawn and Levi have Hilarious Huge Family. Fawn has 2 sisters - and We are looking at their potential stories in the next books , Levi has three brothers, and the parents are absolutely CRAZY. Fawn's Mother is so blunt that even I got embarrassed for Fawn in a few instances. Overall, I love stories with potential standalone romances from supporting characters.
Steam - This was a slow build romance, but when they reach there, <b>IT IS SO WORTH IT..!! </b>
The scenes are totally hot and funny and a little dirty.
Overall, the book is fully of laughs and love and some embarrassing situations. A MUST READ..!!!
This book was so good! Love everything about it, from the main couple, to the supporting characters. It is funny, sweet, and sexy all in one. I found myself laughing out loud in some parts and biting my lip at others. Thoroughly enjoyed this read, cannot wait for the next installment in the series.
This is the first book I've read from this author but it won't be my last. Loved the main characters and really enjoyed their interactions.
I loved this novel. I loved both of the main characters so much. Fawn was sweet and feisty. Levi was so determined and alpha. The two meet when Fawn accidentally runs right into Levi when they both are out running. Sparks fly right away and continue throughout the novel. Levi moves in next to Fawn and is determined to get to know her while Fawn is cautiously of good looking men after a recent breakup. I loved Fawn's sisters and the way trouble seemed to find them. This novel grabbed me from the first page and did not let go until the last. I love a novel that can make you smile, laugh, cry and in the end leave you with a feeling of happiness. This novel did this for me and I look forward to what this author has in coming next.. I even loved Fawn's crazy dog.
This is ARR classical at best with an alpha male and great female POV. loved every minute of this book. Only thing is I wished it was longer. Can't wait for more in the Fluke My Life series.
Levi and Fawn meet when she literally runs into him while out jogging with her eyes closed. He is speechless at first and begins to wonder exactly how crazy she is. He is soon given the opportunity to find out just how crazy she is when it turns out he is her new neighbor. Fawn is adamant that she does not want a man in her life so she avoids Levi at all costs in the beginning.
Levi is a detective with the NYPD in Manhattan and knows he needs patience with Fawn. She runs hot and cold and he knows he needs to tread lightly in order to get her to give him a chance. She is quirky and he finds her adorable. Her family is just as crazy and he is more than willing to take them on in order to get to know her.
Fawn was a bit unstable at points. Her family was a bit nuts and she did have some valid points as to why her mother need not be allowed to speak in public settings. When Thanksgiving winds up becoming a huge production, Fawn handles the situation about as well as could be expected. Levi knows her pretty well by then and he knows she is going to either blow her lid or run. Levi had the great ability to take Fawn as she came and not try to change her. It was endearing to see him slowly get Fawn to come around to wanting to be with him. He knew what steps he needed to take in order to accomplish his goal of getting Fawn to be his. The ending of this book was well done and the whole book was enjoyable. I really enjoyed it and was grateful to have received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.
Running into Love is an amazing romance story that will leave you with a smile on your face. I loved all of the characters, well everyone except Eva, but one bad apple out of a bunch is a ok in my book. Fawn (love the name by the way) and Levi were perfect for each other. They really balanced each other out and I loved their interactions with each other. I enjoyed the storyline and the story flow was perfect. From the very beginning until the very end I was hooked, so before you start this one make sure you have time to read it from beginning to end because you won't want to put it down. I highly recommend this story simply because its one of those MUST READ books that you will come to love. I definitely look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.
