I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Having devoured the first two books in this series, I had high expectations for this one, and I wasn't disappointed, if anything, it blew away my expectations and far surpassed them.

An enemies to lovers story not to be missed. I love the relationship development between Libby and Antonio. Libby had had a crush on Antonio for years, ever since she first laid eyes on him, the mutual attraction was there, but after overhearing a conversation between the sisters, something from Antonio's past messes with his reality and he begins to dislike Libby instead.

After something happens to Antonio's father, and he is unable to work, both Antonio and Libby step up to look after the family restaurant and Antonio finally gets to see what he thought about Libby was not true at all, and the sparks begin to fly. Desperate to prove to her that he's not the ahole he's been acting like for the past few years, Antonio goes all out to win Libby's heart, until once again a misunderstanding keeps the 2 apart, but they finally get their HEA.


I loved this book, the way the story and characters grew and the cameo's from the other characters from the pervious books which I also fell in love with.

I absolutely love Aurora Rose Reynolds and have enjoyed all of her series so I was super excited to receive this arc from Net Galley!

This was such a sweet love story between Libby and Antonio! Libby was so such fun character and I loved that she was brave enough to admit she wasn’t loving her career and be willing to try a new one.
Her crush on Antonio was so relatable and i so enjoyed watching her and Antonio come together.
Antonio was a little hard to get a read on at first but once we got to know him he was such a fantastic guy and character! As a couple they really worked together.
I also really enjoyed the side characters and seeing old favorites pop up!

I did see a lot of the conflict coming and it seemed pretty avoidable but other than that this was a lovely contemporary romance!

"Love doesn't always happen when we expect it to. It doesn't always happen with fireworks and explosions. Sometimes it sneaks up on you silently, when you least expect it."

Tossed Into Love is the third book in the Fluke My Life Series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel. Told from dual points of view, Tossed Into Love follows the story of Antonio and Libby. Libby has lusted over Antonio for years. She's told herself time and time again that nothing will ever come of it, because while Libby may have the hots for Antonio, he is the biggest jerk that she's ever met. And when his family is in crisis and Libby goes to help out, she is even more determined to keep things as they've always been....Antonio has been burned by love before and doesn't trust anyone when it comes to his heart. He thinks he knows the kind of woman that Libby is, but he couldn't be more wrong. But, when life throws an unexpected twist his way and Libby jumps into help, Antonio can no longer ignore the sparks between them. With tensions burning hotter than ever and a chemistry that can't be denied, will Antonio and Libby finally have their chance?? There's only one way to find out....

One thing I can always count on is Aurora Rose Reynolds giving me a swoon-worthy romance with delicious alpha goodness. And Tossed Into Love hit all those marks for me. It was sexy. It was sweet. It was swoon-worthy in one breath and frustrating in the next. I loved the enemies to lovers story line and found the chemistry between Antonio and Libby to be undeniable. I loved the push and pull between them. There was so much sexual tension, that I couldn't wait for it to explode. I couldn't wait for the moment when they would realize what has been in front of them the entire time.

Tossed Into Love is an insta-love, enemies to lovers romance that is perfect for spending the day getting lost in. I thought this book was well written and is definitely a story you can read in just one sitting. I really enjoyed the way this story played on romantic movies. I couldn't help but smile at all the references. This story is light on the drama for the most part, but has just enough angst to keep this angst lover happy. And the characters are a lot of fun and easy to relate to. If you're looking for an insta-love romance that's a quick read and that will give you all the feels, look no further. I hope you'll check out Tossed Into Love and fall in love with Libby and Antonio just as I did.

ARR has done it again! Loved this book! There is not one book of this author you will regret reading. Highly recommend all three books of this series, even though they all are standalones w/HEA I suggest reading them in order.

Absolutely adorable. To what I was expecting since I have read the others in the series but it was great! Read it in one sitting, couldn’t put it down and loved the storyline. Great buildup and setting descriptions. Loved the internal fight both Antonio and Libby have with themselves toward each other and their reactions. We don’t see as much of the sisters in this one as we do the others so I didn’t get as much family humor as the other books which is not bad or good but I had become accustomed to it. We do get other opportunities so it is a nice change up and flows smoothly. Great series. As I have read all the author’s books I love how each series has its own twists and plots so you never get tired of the stories. Something different and new each time with the same core competencies and hard work to bring the story to life.

Like always I loved this book.! The characters were great, their chemistry was off the charts hot. The story and the pace was just the way I like it "fast" and enjoyable. I couldn't put it down until I finished. Thanks you Aurora for another gem!

I fell in love with the Reed sisters in the first book in the Fluke My Life series, Running into Love. Fawn, Mac, and Libby cannot be more different, but are close (as one of three sisters myself, I certainly identify with their closeness, yet different personalities). I loved the build-up with Libby and Antonio- while Libby has a crush on him, it seems like he does not even like her. But when they begin working together, things begin to change.

While I really liked this book, I didn't love it as much as the other two books. I didn't feel as connected to the main characters as I wanted. The plot was great, though, the writing done well, and I loved the epilogue where we get a glimpse into their future.

I am so glad that I read this, and look forward to more to come from Aurora Rose Reynolds!

Tossed Into Love brings us to the third Reed sister, Libby. She's been a constant presence in this series so I couldn't wait to see her get her HEA. Her own story plays a little parallel to the previous book so you see some of her sisters, but for the most part this book was her own and it kind of moved away from Reed family craziness that was featured in the prior books. Which I actually liked since I felt like it kept the series from being too repetitive throughout the books.

Her love interest is Antonio, a man with a huge chip on his shoulder from a past relationship gone bad, causing him to push Libby away. He judged her easily and no matter how much she tried to show him that she was different he wouldn't see it. I thought the angst of their back and forth added a lot of sexual tension to the story and where I would usually be a little annoyed that the hero was being so blinded by the past in this case I liked it. I do think Antonio should have begged for forgiveness a little more, but even without that I was still really happy when his character moved on from the pain holding him back and we got to see the sweet side to him.

I just thought Antonio and Libby worked really well together and they were one of those romance book couples that you wish you knew in real life. Their connection was adorable and added such a light and fun feeling to the story. The angst that was brought into the story wasn't my favorite, just because the situation that happened isn't something I'm a fan of, but in the end it didn't affect how much I liked the book because Antonio and Libby definitely made up for that scene.

Overall, this is certainly a book I would recommend if you're looking for a cute story. I would say you should read at least the previous book before this one just to avoid spoilers from those characters.

I have enjoyed every book in this standalone series but I absolutely loved Libby and Antonio's story. Their story was one filled with sweet, steamy, and funny moments. Miss Ina was a trip and I absolutely loved her character. I was hooked from the very beginning and I finished this story within a few hours. The flow of the story was perfect and there was never a dull moment. This was such a sweet, fantastic read that I believe all romance readers will love. I can't wait to see what story this author comes up with next because everything she writes is a must read for me. Would I recommend this book? Absolutely! I would recommend every book in this series.

A hunky Italian firefighter who can cook and appears to hate you.....does it get better than that?

'Then again, everything happens when it should.'

Whilst reading this I came to the conclusion that I would even read this authors shopping list. She is an auto buy author for me and this book proves why. Absolutely fabulous read!

Again the old grouchy Miss Ina stole my heart and made me laugh out loud and this is perfectly fitting to the while series.

'Whether you run into it, stumble into it, or get tossed into it, love has a way of finding you.'

Great short read. First book I have read by this author and looking forward to reading more.

Libby has had a crush on Antonio since she set eyes on him, but he seems to hate her for no reason. When his Dad has a heart attack she offers to help out at the family pizza shop - a place he hates because of the stress it put on his family.

To both of them family is a key part of their life, and once she starts to help out he realises that he may have misjudger her character.

I liked how there were chapters from each of their perspectives.

Aurora Rose Reynolds is always a one-click author for me; her books are always filled with heart, strong heroines, and swoony heroes, This book was no exception. Finally the third Reed sister has found love in firefighter Antonio Moretti! Their connection was so adorable and beautiful, especially after Antonio started to move past his issues and embrace Libby. This enemies-to-lovers story was just what I needed today and it was even better than I hoped for. I would highly recommend this book, and dare I say, my favorite ARR book so far!

4.5 stars! My favorite in the series!

Aurora never disappoints! I have been in a funk, but this book had me hooked and I couldn’t stop reading it! My heart clenched, I swooned, I cried a bit, I loved Libby and Antonio. Yes, he was a jerk at first, but he turned into one swoony alpha who I loved! It’s low on drama and angst, just a feel good romance. I can’t wait for more from one of my favorite authors!

In what I believe is the final book of the series, Libby is the youngest sister and she is struggling with her life right now. She thinks that she has it all but her relationship with her sisters is deteriorating and her job is not as fulfilling as she thought. And to make matters worse, she is trying to fight off a guy who is nothing but mean to her.

But does he have a reason why??

Antonio is understandably upset with his parents and of course what does he do? He takes it out on the girl that he likes. There are times that I was a little upset with the way that he treated her and I liked the few times that she did stick up for herself when he was treating her badly. There are times when these ‘alpha male’ guys just say deal with it and the girl does. I like it when the girl has some kind of backbone.

It is a quick read (much like the other books) but it’s a fun read as well. It’s one of the things that I love from Aurora Rose Reynolds. She can write characters that you can relate to while making alpha males that you can’t help but want.

Libby Reed has a terrific job at one of the posh salons on 5th Ave. She has a side business where clients can rent designer dresses. But she feels empty--not even discount shopping for her favorite designer brands helps. She always feels better after spending a few moments in her favorite pizza place--Tony's. She frequents so often that she has become friends with the owners. When Tony has a heart attack, Libby steps up to help out at the pizza place. Her helpful nature comes at a price--she has to work with their incredibly gorgeous son, Antonio who she has had a crush. Antonio has always been mean and almost cruel to Libby. As the two of them work together, Libby realizes that Antonio has a softer side.
Antonio has always hated Tony's. He spent copious hours of the day, slept on the office sofa waiting for his parents to close up for the night, summers spent cooking pizza instead of vacationing. Now, that his father has decided to sell the restaurant, Antonio can breathe. No more spending hours working the pizza place after working a 48 hour shift at the station house. But he has been able to spend more time getting to know Libby. He has always liked Libby but he has to protect his heart. Libby loves designer clothes much like his superficial ex who wanted him to change jobs so that he could afford to buy her all the designer things. He's not going to make the same mistake twice. He's an asshole to Libby. It's the only way to protect himself. He only has to make it until the new owners take over. Then he's done. No more Libby even though she's all he thinks about. He walks her home to make sure she's safe after closing. He also decides to take her to dinner. But Libby is keeping a secret that could end their relationship before it even begins.

I read the previous book in the series and was looking forward to Libby and Antonio's story. Overall, it was a great read! I liked the whole frienemies to lovers trope. I was interested to find out why Antonio "hated" Libby, something that was set up in the previous book. While I understood Antonio's reasons for how he was with Libby, he was not a character I loved. He seemed to make snap judgements and I thought it took him too long to realize the truth of the matter (thus happens more than once in the book). I really liked Libby, however, as she is a sweetheart and forgives Antonio way more easily than I thought she should. That being said, I enjoyed this read and would recommend it.

This a really sweet and sexy series about three sisters. Libby is the youngest sister. Libby is adorable charming and hardworking. Her crush Antonio puts her in the same box as his ex. Libby is nothing like his ex. Once Antonio realizes this he has to convince her to forgive him. Their families especially both of their mothers are great secondary characters. I love seeing her sisters again with their HEA. I would totally recommend this series or any ARR books for any romance lover.

I so wanted to love this.... but sadly I didn’t. Where was the humor?? The awesome family scenes??? And I even wanted some drama. The closest we got was Antonio’s moodiness. And while I like Miss Ina, she was everywhere in this story.

If there could be a redo.... I would have added more involvement with the sisters versus just talking about them getting together. Do a I repeat of Halloween!!!

I love this authors work so it’s no surprise I jumped at the chance to get to read this. It had been awhile since I read the first two in the series so I took the time to go back and read them first. I love each of the stories, the slow burn of Fawn and Levi, the quick jump of Mac and Wesley but I really loved the established unrequited crush to full on love of Antonio and Libby. For lovers of this author you won’t be sorry to pick this one up, if you enjoy sweet romances with characters who you can relate to all while laughing this is a must read!
