It's time for the youngest sister!!!
Libby is the youngest of the three sister struggling to find herself without her sisters with her now, she is in a job which she can't picture herself doing for the rest of her life when life tosses her into a situation where she helps Antonio run his parents' pizzeria after his father's sudden heart attack. Antonio has come to hate the pizzeria he grew up in and resents it more and more when his worst fear comes true and his father suffers from a heart attack. He wants nothing to do with it but has to run it until his parents can. It doesn't help the matters when Libby Reed is there more and more to help around and doesn't seem out of place at all. She fits right into it. Libby has had a crush on Antonio for a long time, but doesn't understand why he hates her so much. When two people are tossed into spending so much time together to help the people that they love, and sparks fly. One or both are bound to get burned, can they take control of the fire between them and find a happy ever after?
Love this book, Libby and Antonio are so fun to read about, their daily banter and the sizzling chemistry is great. Love them! Would definitely recommend it! ♥️

This started out as a 5 star read, and as the story went on, it lowered to a 3 star read. The writing itself flowed well, and I liked the characters (at the beginning). I'm a sucker for the enemies to lovers trope, so I was excited. Antonio ruined that for me. I usually have problems with whiny heroines, but this time Antonio wasn't an alpha, he was a complete jerk. He disliked Libby because of ONE conversation that he overheard about her wanting a designer purse, because his ex was materialistic. Once he gives her a chance, it doesn't get better. The whole birth control conversation was just uncomfortable, and honestly none of Antonio's business. He gets mad when he finds out about the pizzeria, but he shut Libby down every time she tried to bring up the conversation. Libby was a doormat for Antonio, and I wanted it to get better, but sadly it doesn't. Also, I think Mrs. Ina is supposed to be a spunky secondary character, but I thought she was overbearing and rude. This was a first for me from this author, but I will definitely give her another read.
I voluntarliy reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

Ah this book has it all for me, it’s sexy, angst filled and yet in the middle of it all, there’s love. The characters are easy to connect to and I want me my own Antonio to be really honest.

I love Libby as the heroine. I love Antonio as the hero. These two just work well together and their chemistry just leaps off the pages. I’m so glad I got a chance to read this book because it was definitely worth it!

4 stars

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


This was such a great sit-back-and-relax romance. With an awesome alpha hero and a truly sweet and generous heroine, I couldn’t have been happier with this book. It checks all my boxes for a comfort read and I loved every moment of it. Even when Antonio acted like a jerk.

The final conflict between these two might aggravate some readers but I enjoyed it because I enjoyed watching this couple come together. I loved how Antonio’s eyes were opened to the true Libby once he gave her a chance as well as Libby’s struggle to trust that what was taking place between them was real.

Tossed Into Love
Aurora Rose Reynolds


Tossed Into Love is pure perfection!
This takes no prisoner love capade just was it! It clearly had me from the start with the make me drool bittering and the over the top alpha hotness. Yes, let a man become all alpha on me, make him be overprotective and sweet as oh hell! Then that just does me in! Yes, another onclick perfection in my eyes and ears.

Great read. Loved and enjoyed this one a lot. I honestly couldn't tell you who is my favorite of this series. I think they all have been a favorite for different reasons. cant wait to read more by the author. I loved the ending so much!

This is not new, I have a hate/love relationship with Aurora Rose Reynolds. I do, and the irony is that the reason why I hate some of her books is the very same reason why I am still picking up her new releases. Ah, the alpha male. That trope that I love to love as much as I love to hate. That trope that sets my blood on fire for very different reasons. Some of Aurora Rose Reynold’s alphas infuriate me (see her, in my opinion horrendous, Until series), and some… well, some make me so weak on my legs I just want to be picked up and carried away by big biceps, triceps and all those little neck muscles that flex when they are carrying a beautiful sack of potatoes like moi. Anyway, this Fluke my Life series is a guilty pleasure of mine, not because of the smut but because of Aurora’s alphas. They are far from being as the awfully controlling and testosterone-ridden ones from her Until series, but still, they have some serious weak moments. This is somehow shadowed by that side of my that likes to be carried around like a good and helpless damsel in distress and I have found myself enjoying and picking up the complete series. So, if you see yourself in my words, I can totally recommend you Aurora’s Fluke my Life alphas. And the one on this novel is… wait for it… A FIREFIGHTER THAT… wait for it again … OWNS A PIZZERIA (sort of). Yup girl, some sex pizza making. Between the pizza oven and all those hoses it’s getting really hot in here.

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

Tossed Into Love is book 3 in the Fluke My Life series which is centered mainly around the three Reed sisters. It can be read as a stand-alone. This is Libby's story.

Libby is strong, smart, beautiful and hard-working. She loves nice things like handbags and high heels and being"girlie." Circumstances have brought Libby and firefighter Antonio Moretti working together at his parents pizza shop. Libby and Antonio do not get along. Libby thinks Antonio is a jerk, while Antonio thinks Libby is a "princess."

"I think he is a jerk - a hot jerk, but a jerk all the same."

"You can lie to yourself all you want, but I see it. I see it when he looks at you. I see it when you look at him."

There is a lot of banter and chemistry between Libby and Antonio. Somewhere around 50% the hotness factor explodes! There are a lot of sexy times! Of course there is also some drama and a small twist. There is even a few surprises with both Libby and Antonio.

I'd also like to give a shout out to the"moms" in the series. It was very funny to watch the crazy moms and strong dads interact with their grown children.

What a great summer read! 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! While the girls stories are finished, we have a few guys we have met along the way with a story to tell. I look forward to the next book in the Fluke My Life series - Drawn Into Love which is Lucas's story!

3.75 stars

I love everything Aurora Rose Reynolds writes and she has become one of my favorite authors. She knows how to write the perfect story filled with a protective alpha male, a strong female and colorful secondary characters. This is a heartwarming enemies to lovers story and it is the third book in the Fluke My Life series.

Antonio is a firefighter but when his father has a heart attack, Antonio pitches in to help run the family pizzeria. I love the way Antonio is portrayed in this story. He is a big, tough, protective alpha male with a growly voice. He has always kept his distance from Libby but once he realizes she is not the woman he thought she was, he puts everything he has into wooing her.

Libby works hard as a makeup artist and assistant manager at a salon. For years she has had a close relationship with Antonia’s parents and she immediately volunteers to help out at their pizzeria when Antonio’s father becomes ill. As Libby and Antonio work closely together, Antonio realizes Libby is a sweet, kind and hardworking person. Libby has had a crush on Antonio for years but he has always made it clear he has no interest in her. Libby has never understood why Antonio has always been such a jerk to her and she finds it impossible to resist him when he turns on the charm.

Antonia goes through some changes in this story. He has made assumptions about Libby which he realizes are wrong. He has always been attracted to her but has been afraid to make a move. I loved the way Antonio goes after Libby and doesn’t let anything get in his way. He knows he made mistakes with Libby and he tries to make amends. Libby never has a chance once Antonio decides he wants her. I loved these two together and all their arguing and bantering. This is another enchanting story by Aurora Rose Reynolds. I loved this sweet and sexy story.

Loved Libby and Antonio’s story! ARR never disappoints. The chemistry between the characters was off the charts and Antonio was OTT Alpha which I love. Great sexy sweet Romance with the right amount of angst thrown in. 5 Stars!!

I adored the first novel in this series so I was so excited to pick this one up. Although I didn't love it as much as the first in the series, it is a good one. Part of what I struggled with for this one is the hero ... his treatment of the heroine at the beginning of the novel was difficult for me to move past. But, I eventually did as he began to explain his actions and grow from them. Libby is the BEST so it was hard to get over how Antonio treated her ... but he did redeem himself. It was exciting to see her grow and figure out her future over the span of the book. I definitely recommend this series. Reynolds has done a wonderful job creating this world and these characters. This one is pretty sexy so if you prefer your romance to be tamer, you may not love this one. Can't wait to go pick up the 2nd in the series. And January needs to hurry up so I can read the 4th! Really liked this one and recommend it.

This is one of my favorite series I’ve read over the past year! I love a “cast” of characters that are a big family, whether by blood or otherwise. I was so excited to finally get to read Libby’s book!

Libby is the youngest of the sisters in this series. She is so close with her sisters but they are both entering new chapters of their lives and she is feeling a little left behind. As she is pouring herself into work, she finds herself spending more time with Antonio. She has had a one-sided crush on him for a long time and suddenly it seems maybe he is starting to reciprocate her feelings.

Antonio wrote her off as materialistic long ago. But when she steps up to help his family run their pizzeria, he realizes maybe there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to Libby. Antonio was so sexy and I loved him!! I could totally see why Libby had been smitten for so long. When these two finally hook up it is everything!!

As a true ARR fan from the beginning this series has cemented her spot near the top of my favorite authors list! She writes Alphas like nobody else! Read this series and this book! It is truly great!

ARC provided in exchange for honest review.

Tosses Into Love is an emotional, passionate read. Loved every second of this journey. Aurora has become one of favorite authors of all time. She’s amazing.

3.5 Stars

In Tossed Into Love we get the story of the last remaining single Reed sister, and Tony, the hot firefighter/pizza maker she’s had the hots for since forever.

As with the previous books in this series, I really enjoyed the story, the banter and the chemistry… it just didn’t completely wow me. Unlike Running into Love and Stumbling Into Love, in this instance I loved Libby much more than I liked Antonio.

Libby was a hard-working, sweet and quite serious young woman. She was stylish and a complete fashionista and worked as a makeup artist in an upscale salon. She worked very hard for all she had, but found that she wasn’t enjoying her job and line of work as much as she had in the beginning. While searching for something that would make her truly happy, she offered to help out in her favorite pizza place, where the owners (Antonio’s parents) are having some issues.

That is how she ends up having to spend time with Tony, who’s running the restaurant while his father recuperates from a health scare. While Libby’s never been too good at keeping her crush on Antonio on the down-low, Tony has pretty much been a jerk to her openly from the very first time they saw each other. And at first, that doesn’t change in their forced proximity.

Tony was hot, obviously, as he is a firefighter, but he could be sweet and funny too. Unfortunately for me, he could also be a ginormous prejudiced asshole which totally killed his hotness level like, by at least half.

When Tony let go of his preconceived notions about Libby and really started to get to know her, magic happened. Their chemistry was undeniable and they truly seemed meant to be. That is until Antonio’s stupid prejudiced ways rear its head again. As this is an ARR’s romance, everything works out in the end and everyone lives happily ever after with lots of babies.

While Tony managed to overshadow his dreaminess with his attitude, I really liked Libby, and their chemistry was really something. Tossed Into Love had the sexiness, banter, and the fluffiness I was expecting, and even though the whole series was not my favorite from Ms. Reynolds all the stories were enjoyable and fun to read.

I went into this book with a fair amount of apprehension. Book one of the Fluke My Life series was cute and fun, book two was blah, so...what would book three be like???

Well, turns out it was somewhere in the middle.

Libby and Antonio have been acquaintances for a couple years - his parents own the pizzeria in Libby’s neighborhood, of which Libby is a frequent customer. Having overheard a conversation Libby was having with her sisters, Antonio formed an unfavorable opinion of her and treats her with disdain. Which begs the question why Libby had such a crush on him for so long. She knows it’s not smart (or reasonable), but you know, the heart wants what the heart wants.

When a dire situation with the health of Antonio’s father puts a strain on the restaurant, Libby steps in to help in the evenings after her day job doing makeup at an upscale New York city salon. After a couple weeks, Antonio realizes Libby is not who he thought she was - she’s smart, kind, and extremely hard working. Not the vapid, self-centered, materialistic girl he thought she was.

The thing I liked most about this book, is that is was such a departure from ARR’s usual writing. No insta-love, no over-the-top alpha male, no ridiculous angsty situations. There was no repetitive writing about how hawt Antonio was and how hard it made Libby’s nipples. Or her panties wet. Antonio insists on them having a firm grasp on their relationship before hopping into bed. Also, Antonio wasn’t the usual playboy manwhore - near as I can tell, the last woman he’d been with was a long-time girlfriend from two years ago, and he hadn’t been with anyone since. Libby, for the most part, was strong and determined. Like I said, she knew it was stupid to have a crush on someone who obviously didn’t like her. But she also called him on his crap once they were working together every night at the pizzeria.

The downside to this book is that while I did like the characters and the plot, the writing was still overwrought with unimportant, extraneous details. It’s cold, so she takes the hat and gloves out of her purse, puts on the gloves on her hands and the hat on her head, and then goes on her way. We get a whole page of the heroine getting ready for work. Curling her hair, putting on makeup (blush, eyeliner and shadow, mascara…), a full description of the clothes she’s wearing… There are sections where we are treated to a full narrative of exactly what she is doing, and it bogs down the story and brings the pace to a screeching halt. It’s a fine line between giving a reader enough description so they can visualize a character and their story, and giving so much your reader feels dumb (of course she’s going to put the gloves and hat on - it’s cold, she pulled them out of her bag, it’s a logical conclusion that she isn’t going to just carry them around in her hand). But that being said, these past several books have improved tremendously over her earlier books. And I will give her full credit for the first several chapters of this book - I could feel Libby’s longing for Antonio to just want her the way she wants him. I could feel her disappointment and confusion about how he treated her. But then again, making her readers feel emotions hasn’t really ever been an issue for this author.

ARR is a habit I just can’t quit. She’s very hit or miss with me now - probably because my reading preferences and tastes have changed since I first started reading her four years ago. Sometimes I completely regret spending my time (and money) on her books. Thankfully, this time wasn’t one of them. And I know, full well, the next time I have an opportunity to read an ARR book, I’m gonna do it…

Oh my goodness what a sexy sweet and just adorable story.

I have come to believe after years of reading romance that you go through stages of emotions during a book. There's the anticipation when the couple meets and then the angst of will they or won't they? In slow burns this can be so strong. You'll be screaming do it already and when they do there's the big swoon. Well with every story there's got to be a conflict, issue, trouble etc. That's where hurt and anger can come into play. Then of course the reunion or reconciliation. That's where the healing and soothing emotions come into the journey. Then you've got the HEA.
For me the reconciliation and ending are the most important parts because if I'm left with no healing in my heart I just feel empty. I want you to make me forget I was hurt or mad. I need to believe in the couples longevity. That's the Aurora Rose Reynolds magic.

This authors creativity has to be magic to be able to simply cover the hurt with love and heal the heart with romance that you can believe in. Page after page you're immersed in the kind of love story that soothes you and gives you faith. Antonio and Libby climbed high fell hard and landed beautifully

These two characters danced around the inevitable for a long time. Prejudices by Antonio waisted a lot of time for them. My anger at his actions and later my hurt at his words were a defining point for me. I simply wasn't sure I'd get over it
Oh But ye of such little faith.



When Antonio hit his knees my heart filled and the cracks healed. I loved that these two enjoyed learning what they loved and working around their differences. I would love to see more of the fire fighter aspect. This was extraordinarily y low on suspense this time. Just a love story with forgiveness and acceptance.

I love the side characters here that add so much to this sweet story.
My favorite was Pool

. He was the cutest little fur baby I only wish he'd been mentioned in the epilogues. Kids and pets are just pure joy.

This is a favorite series mine by this author. I can't wait for more.

I nabbed this book from NetGalley as I’m a fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds’ Until Him series. I do love me some instalove. I don’t care how unrealistic it may seem. I was somewhat leery about this story as the description makes it clear this is not an instalove situation. Antonio actually sounded like a jerk from the description. I decided to give it a try anyway.

Although I liked Libby, I didn’t love her. I didn’t care for the descriptions of clothing, and Libby’s life is fashion. Something I’m not interested in – at all. I also found her successfulness at her age unrealistic. The details about her new business endeavor were missing. How in the world did she manage to do a renovation in so little time? I need her construction crew!

I liked Antonio more than I thought I would. He did have a reason for his judgmental behavior. He could have opened up his eyes a little sooner, though.

Overall, I enjoyed the story. It’s a quick, fluffy read for when you just want to relax. Nothing wrong with that. But figuring out a star rating wasn’t easy. Although the story is exactly as advertised – a light love story with a guaranteed HEA, there were quite a few things that annoyed me and the story followed a typical romance formula making it feel somewhat cliched.

Libby Reed is a woman that goes after what she wants. She works multiple jobs and buys cloths and other designer label brands at huge discounts. One of her jobs is her own idea that she came up with and turned it into a business. So when her friends who own a pizzeria needed help when the husband got sick she offered to help. She knew the draw back would be their son Anthony who one does like the pizzeria and two she has had a crush on for years. Now the firefighter is worse than she could have imaged and not only is he always short tempered with her but he begins to do it in front of customers. This leads to more auguring and then of course him wanting her to stop coming to the pizzeria, not. His main problem is with her designer labels handbags, cloths and other things instead of asking her he just figures guys, her dates maybe buys them for her and when he finds out that is not the case he feels like a heal and wants to date her. Everything goes along until she tells him that she is the one that is buying the pizzeria and he loses it. Later as he sees the changes to the store he must decide over love or his stubborn pride read this wonderful book and see what happens. Good characters also all around.

5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, pain, secrets, and heartbreak.

Before reading this story please read the below books first
Running into Love (Fluke My Life #1)
Stumbling Into Love (Fluke My Life #2)

This is Libby and Antonio’s story. Libby has wanted Antonio for a while, but he treats her like dirt. When his father gets sick and can’t work the restaurant she steps up. She might not always like him, but she loves his family. Now they are working together day after day. Antonio’s been burned by a woman before and he thinks Libby is that same kind of woman. When he works with her day after day he can see that he was wrong about her but what happens when they try to form a friendship and later something more? Libby is keeping secrets but that is because anytime she brings them up Antonio shuts her down. When her secrets come out will she lose him? Or will he finally see her for who she is. The woman he never knew he needed?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

5 Stars!

Love this cover. Love this author. Love this blurb. Love this series. And I really love allo these characters.

Aurora Rose Reynolds continues to impress and deliver the absolute best in her latest standalone novel in the Fluke My Life series. The last sister, the baby, is finally up and she is finally getting her boom, her happily ever after and if you've been following this series then you know who her boom might just be.

Tossed Into Love was a quirky, sexy, heart-pounding, sweet, fun, all of the feels contemporary romance novel that left my tummy fluttering, my heart beating fast, and a smile permanently etched into my face. Every single word and every single moment between Libby and Antonio had me swooning hard, racing through the pages, and falling head over heels in love.

She is about to take the chance of her life... not just professionally but personally and her life and heart are never going to be the same. He's the key to her heart, her future, and her forever...now if he will just see that and admit what he feels instead of holding back. But when he finally does, she or he will never be the same again.

Told in dual point of view, jump into the minds of Libby and Antonio as they fall into love and find that while it's not always easy, it's most definitely always worth it. Together they are undeniable and completely unforgettable.

I'm sad to see this series coming to a close but I'm hoping for glimpses possibly in the future!

I highly recommend this book and series.
