Ive been waiting for this book for a while, the Fluke my life series is one of Aurora Rose Reynolds most fun to read. Libby's story was great! I love that she is a hard worker and is soo girly. With smart work sense and a love of pizza she is the perfect match for the broody Antonio that just doesn't understand why he can't stop thinking of her even though he don't want to. He is a jerk to say the least but he has a sweetness that makes him worth fighting for! So grab a slice and hunker down for an emotional roller-coaster on both parts and enjoy!
I stopped reading this author a long time ago as her stories were so repetitive but I'm auto approved for this Publisher on Netgalley, so decided to give this one a go.
I'm not sure how old Libby and Antonio are supposed to be but this read like a YA romance. It's a very basic, formulatic romance with insta love.
Repetitive use of 'babe' and 'fuck you're cute'.
Ridiculous reason for the standard fall out followed by instant forgiveness.
This was a very quick story with not much to it.

It does not matter what I book I am currently reading, if a ARR books comes out, it has my immediate attention and nothing else matters.
I dived into Libby and Antonio and did not come up for air till I finished each and every delicious word. I loved the younger Reed sisters book , and since there was the brief mention of her crush on Antonio in the previous books, I have been dying for their story.
Libby has had a ringside view to both her sisters falling in love, and she cannot help but hope her turn comes soon. Especially ,if it is the man she has had a crush on for the last few years. Just one problem....he seems to hate her. Every time they are in the same vicinity she cant help but notice his animosity toward her. It does not matter what she does, he just does not seem to like her. When Antonio's father has a heart attack, Libby immediately agrees to working at the pizza shop to help out, as she love the pizzeria and nothing feels quite like home than when she is working there.
Antonio has no time for someone like Libby Reed. After all she screams high maintenance with her expensive shoes and handbags. He has been hurt once by a women who was materialistic and he is not going to go down the road again. Problem is he cant seem to get her out of his mind, especially when she starts helping out at his parents pizza parlor.
Will Antonio be able to keep his distance from the "spoilt princess" and will Libby be able to show Antonio that there is more to her than a pair of Louboutin heels.
Another great story from the Queen of this genre and a great conclusion to the Reed sisters finding their Happily Ever Afters!!!
Can we just sit down and talk about how good this book was? I mean this series was really good. It was never slow which I loved. I feel like this story was pretty much a lesson never judge a person by how they look. Poor Libby was getting labeled by Antonio because she loved label clothes.
But this story was a real HEA!
It was Princess and Prince Charming.
*side note* can we get the next generations love stories.
ARC received by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
I adore Aurora Rose Reynolds! Her alpha men are always just what I need. I know for some it may be just a tid bit to much or to soon. But for me? Perfect!
I love the nickname babe, I know it's very common and all but not here in Belgium. So every time I hear/read it I'm melting! I also adore self made nicknames, my boyfriend (10years) has gotten quite a few for me too. It always is more special and sweet!
The only down point is if your on a diet, I'm craving pizza right now!!
Love Antonio and Libby their start was "rocky" but it was quite sweet too. I love enemies to lovers! Even though I would never see me with an enemy.. I'm not that forgiving..
After having to wait for almost six months, I was nearly hyperventilating when I saw the final Fluke of My Life on Netgalley. And Yay, I was granted the arc. So I could finally read about the last of the Reed sisters. After seeing her big sisters Fawn and Mac find their true loves and starting their happily ever after, Libby is starting to rethink her life. Since the three of them have always lived together, she finds herself now more and more alone, when her sisters are staying over at Levi's and Wesley's.
Furthermore, her job in the beauty salon isn't giving her enough satisfaction. When she hears that Tony, the owner of their favourite pizza restaurant has had a heart attack, she decides to help him out. Unfortunately, this means she will be working together with Tony's son, Antonio. For as long as Libby can remember, she has had a crush on the hot-as-hell firefighter. However, Antonio seems to dislike her as much as the restaurant of his parents. So, while the tension between Libby and Antonio grows, Libby discovers she really likes to work at the pizza restaurant. But why does Antonio hate it so much? And what did she do to have him act like a jerk every time she gets near?
And why is there so much chemistry between them? Find out for yourselves if Libby can stand the heat in the kitchen and whether the firefighter will put out the flames or that they will combust together...
Beautiful last part of the series, I really am going to miss the Reed girls and the wonderful Miss Ina. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
Besides the fact that I've been waiting for this book for what feels like forever - any ARR book is a must have for me!
ARR didn't disappoint with Antonio and Libby's story. I loved their love and how it wasn't easy but took both of them to figure it out and take a chance.
This was a great story of finally seeing what's been in front of you the whole time, of understanding that life always gives you what you need, and that sometimes the first time isn't right so you should open your heart to explore what comes after that.
I also loved seeing Fawn and Mac throughout the story - and Miss Ina was awesome, very funny and super protective of her girls in her grumpy-old-lady way!
All the feels, so many feels!
Libby is the sweetest, no, so really is, person around. She feels so quickly, so completely, and so deeply, you are there with her on every emotion. Antonio sees her, but he doesn't really <i> see </i> her until she helps his family out. The more he gets to know her, the more he kicks himself for snap judgments. The more she gets to know him, the more her filter slips. She tends to blurt out everything she is thinking in her head, and he couldn't love it more
This book finishes this series, and the final epilogue, well, it had me smiling through my tears of happiness - bravo!
I think this was a perfect end to the series. I loved this story so much I literally couldn't stop reading. I liked that they had to overcome their issues in order to move forward. Aurora has done it again. Another must read.
I cannot wait for everyone to get to read this story!! Libby & Antonio are adorable, fun, steamy but not TOO steamy, and a highly enjoyable read! I thought I was going to be annoyed by the direction I could see the SOB (seemingly obligatory breakup) was going, and I would have been except Antonio saved it by getting his head outta his butt fairly quickly. Heh. And, there's a Pool. *heart eyes*
I LOVED the epilogues/peek into the future. GREAT to see & catch up w/ all the sisters.
Two wonderful thumbs up!! : )
Tossed Into Love,
What a small kind of tiny little let down this was. I will admit I love my romance, I am a romance junkie but this in the beginning was not what I was expecting, I really loved the previous two books in the series, and this one didn't meet that standard. Libby Reed and Antonio Moretti is what this one is all about. Libby has had the biggest crush on Ant, and Ant has been the biggest douche towards her. He is legit the most arrogant jerk I have read about in a wee whiles. He is a firefighter and his parents own a pizza shop, that he hates. With his dad suffering from a heart attack and his Mum beside him along the way to becoming better, the pizza shop is left to him to take care of, and that's where Libby come into it more, she loves his family and is wanting to help by volunteering her time to help out where she can. Overall you watch them fall in love, it is really sweet, even though I don't think Ant was the nicest person.
I read it in one sitting, it is short. I think this authors work has in the passed be so much better, her Until series is still to this day one of my favs. I found this story to be a time filler. I would have loved it to be a little more longer, and with them together together longer, then what we got.
I think her fans will most likely enjoy it, but as a fan of her I was disappointed. All the stories in this series are cute, and very no to low angst., fluffy romances which is a nice change from high fantasy novels.
This one is Enemies to lovers, miscommunications and misjudgements, a lot of push and pull banter. I missed the other sisters in this one, the way the three of them were always there for each other, that bond was missing. Libby was keeping to herself I understand that, but I don't know, these are my thoughts after just finishing reading it. Make a cuppa, settle in with some choc and be ready to read a short little tale, about Libby and Antonio about them getting tossed into love. I do have to shout out, that I really love the ending, the epilogue I really enjoyed the future parts. I'm no sure if the series is ended, I kind of hope it is.
PNR Book Lover Reviews
The Fluke My Life series has quickly became one of my favorite series by this author. I have loved Libby since the first book and seeing her fall for the guy she wanted was so much fun. Antonio was the jerk we couldn’t help but love. There’s so much that I can say about the book but it’s a beautiful of those fun, light drama reads that keeps you hooked from the start.
The romance in this book was different the the first two because of the hate to listen be type feel that it had, but it was really and will prove that what you see on the outside isn’t always what’s inside. I loved the long epilogue and definitely the end with Miss Ida! She has been amazing through this series. I’m sad to see that this series will be ending but it will be one that I read over and over. 4 stars #2OCCJD
I "FLUKING" loved this series! Anything and everything you could want in a romance, Aurora Rose Reynolds delivers in the Fluke My Life series.
Want romance? She provides everything from butterflies and crushes, to falling in love, to down and dirty steamy romps.
Want comedy? Just let good ole Ina to open the door to her apartment and she is guaranteed to make you laugh, cringe and want to be her friend. Nothing like forcing love on an old woman who acts like she doesn't want it. Ina reminds me of Weezer in Steele Magnolias. Throw in dear old mom and a potential mother-in-law and you have 3 women ready to protect but also ready to plan your courtship, wedding and children.
I really enjoyed these sisters and their stories. I think this book was my favorite of the 3. Antonio was so hot and broody, but internally a big sucker for Libby- his princess.
ARR will now be a go to author for a guaranteed great read.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and Libby and Antonio's journey was no exception! I was captivated from the first chapter.
Libby is a breath of fresh air. So spunky and full of life! I love her passion for the things she loves; fashion on a budget and helping others when they are in need. She truly is an amazing character! I adore watching Libby subtly knock the giant chip that has taken up residence on Antonio's shoulder. These two characters make the story interesting and enthralling!
Such a truly sweet, sexy and fun book! A MUST READ! 5 stars!
To say Libby and Antonio were not friends would be a major understatement, but the their ironically chemistry was electric! When Antonio’s dad has a health issue, both Libby and Antonio step in to run his dad’s pizzeria. Being forced to interact allows Libby and Antonio to get to know each other better and even become friendly...and maybe much, much more!
I love diving into Aurora Rose Reynolds novels!!! Tossed Into Love is the third installment in the Fluke My Life series (seriously, isn’t that the best series name ever!?!??). I was ecstatic to finally get Libby and Antonio’s book and Aurora Rose Reynolds definitely did not disappoint! I was on the hook throughout the entire book and as usual I am looking forward to reading more ARR in the future!
Another great enemies to lovers read and addition to this series. Misjudgment, miscommunication and lots of wanting between these two characters. When the family business throw Antonio and Libby together, their chemistry, push and pull and banter keep you hooked until the end. I also enjoyed the supporting characters. A great quick read.
A lovely story and a great holiday read.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for a honest review.
Tossed into Love is the third book in the Fluke My Life series. With this series being about three sisters, I would recommend you read all the books in the series before starting this one.
This book is about Libby, the youngest sister and the story that I was looking forward to the most. She is a strong, hardworking person and I liked her as a lead character.
All the books in this series are fun, hot and low on angst. I highly recommend these books, if you are in the mood for something uncomplicated, sweet and sexy!
I thought I loved Fawn and Mac’s stories but Libby and Antonio’s might just be my favourite! A beautiful, funny story about not judging someone without knowing them, forgiveness and love. A quick read, but i could not put it down!
This might be my favorite ARR book ever. I liked Libby and Antonio. I loved that this one wasn't insta love. Yes, Libby has had a crush on Antonio forever. But, there was a build up to which I enjoyed ! Antonio was a jerk, and he had his reasons. They weren't great, but they were his. It was a cute story.
