The third in the Fluke my Life series this is Libby and Antonio's story... this is a good addition to the series and you get to see the characters from the previous as their happy-ever-afters continue! Libby ends up helping at Antonio's family restaurant after his father has a heart attack... not the best with the way that they get along like oil and water!!

But you have to say that Antonio soon seems to get his head in the game - there are a few hitches here and there but on the whole they seem to get it together eventually!

Was expecting this book to be exciting and romantic with may be a bit of angst, and I was not disappointed this is another great book by author Reynolds that you should buy to add to your bookshelf.

The third book in the fluke my life series is about the youngest of the three sisters, Libby, and her enemy/crush Antonio. If you have read the previous book you know that these two seem to have a love/hate relationship. Antonio made som assumtions when he met Libby and has been behaving like an ass towards her, even though he is attracted to her. Libby on her side has been crushing hard on Antonio since the beginning but will not out up with his mulish behaviour.

This book followed the same pattern as the previous, with a sweet, low angst, spicy story. Libby was a good h who stood up for herself and knew what she wanted. Antonio was a bit mulish in the beginning, with him being a blockhead because of being burned by and ex, leading to some drama in the second half of the book.
The writing was solid as usual and I have really enjoyed this series and hope there will be future books (children perhaps??)

Safety info:
Virgin h
H celibate since meeting h
h went on one date with OM but nothing happened
No OW drama

Tossed into Love is a contemporary romance. It is book three in the Fluke My Life series. However, it is not necessary to read the first two books. This can be read as a stand-alone and enjoyed wholeheartedly.
True to Aurora Rose Reynold’s writing there is always fantastic wit and smart-ass statements through-out that are hysterically noteworthy! This book didn’t disappoint!
The story follows Libby a headstrong, independent, hard worker that doesn’t back down despite uncomfortable situations. She has a strong sense of love and loyalty. The character drew me in and I liked her no nonsense attitude. What’s not to love? She’s everything we all strive to be. Libby works as a cosmetologist, but is beginning to question her career choice. She loves her boss, (except for the horrid blind dates he sets her up on. Those could make for a great story in itself!) But, questions if it’s enough?
From frequenting her favorite pizza establishment, she has grown close to the owners, Tony and Martina. After Tony is hospitalized, Libby steps in to help by working in the pizzeria. She absolutely loves it and fits right in. Feeling a connection and revived passion, she wonders if the restaurant business is her next calling.
Unfortunately, the owner’s son, Antonio hates her and makes no secret of his aversion to her. Cue, uncomfortable situations. Thank goodness Libby is stubborn and has such a fondness for the owners, she doesn’t back down. Of course Antonio, is a drool worthy hot hunk of a god that Libby has had a crush on for years. Why does she have to be attracted to the one that hates her and is a complete jerk??!!
Antonio, is a swoon worthy firefighter who loves his job. Resentful of the years the pizzeria has taken from his family and the health factors it has caused his father, he wants nothing to do with the pizzeria. He steps in to run the restaurant while his father is sick, but continues trying to convince his father to sell the pizzeria. Antonio also harbors bitterness from his money greedy ex-girlfriend. His resentful and hurt feelings make him quick to judge. Will he get over everything before it is too late to discover the love of a lifetime?
This is a fantastic story! Well played out. I enjoyed how they mocked plot lines of romantic movies, yet knowingly carried out the same plot, teasing themselves about it along the way. The overzealous mothers and Ms. Ina are a crack up. I love the true to life touches. Thank you for the epilogues with the progressive snapshots! I highly recommend this book. It is filled with romance, comedy, and steam!

You know those romantic comedy movies...the ones that are so predictable, but you can't help but watching, and while watching you become entranced by the conflicts among the hero and heroine and you cheer for them when they finally get together. You also end up sad when something becomes between them (even though you know its going to happen) and you are so happy with the happy ending! Yep, you know those movies...and that's how Aurora Rose Reynolds writes her romance novels. I always become fully engrossed in them and her quirky characters.

Tossed Into Love is the 3 and final book in the Fluke My Life trilogy. Each novel focuses on one of three sisters and how they find the love of their life while living and working in New York City and dealing with everyday life issues. This book was bittersweet for me. I was happy to read it, but sad to say goodbye to the characters that the author created in this series (I'm looking at you Ms. Ina). If you haven't tried this series...try it! It's good!

Libby Reed is a strong, independent female who’s not afraid of hard work. She is kind and compassionate and the baby of the family. Antonio is a firefighter who likes Libby but allows his previous relationship to dictate how he treats her. At the beginning I didn’t like Antonio at all. I can understand being guarded because you’ve been burned before, but it’s never ok to treat someone awful, especially someone who has always been nice to you. Thankfully, Antonio totally redeems himself by the end of the book. Overall I enjoyed this book and I loved the extended epilogue! 4 Stars!

I have read every book in this series and I have to say, I can't tell which one is my favorite. They're all brimming with interesting characters, story-lines that just drag you in and sometimes, some pretty laugh-out-loud moments. This book was no exception. I really loved going deep with the characters to figure out what makes them tick, and with others from the previous books making appearances in this one, it's like caching up with old friends and sharing a little gossip. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I loved this book! It was such a great addition to an already warm and sunny series. It is technically a standalone but it really helps to read the first 2 in the series. While Antonio isn't the best in the beginning you will fall in love with him along the way!
I really hope their elderly friend gets a book!

Aurora Rose Reynolds has the magic touch on romance reads. Tossed Into Love is full of all the treats that makes her one of the favorites. I couldn’t wait to read Libby’s story and find out where her heart would land and I was not disappointed. Her vulnerability, tenacity and kindness paired with Antonio’s alpha heat and wounded heart made for a story I fell easily into.

Where Aurora is knows for her signature mastery with insta-love, Tossed felt more like a slow burn that didn’t drag. It got right to the point while still feeling like the build up to something amazing. With just enough angst, tons of laughs and melting heat, this is a read that can’t be missed!

Tossed Into Love is the 3rd book in the Fluke My Life series from Aurora Rose Reynolds. This was Libby and Antonio's story.
Where do I start? Let's go with Libby, She's beautiful, cute, smart, hard working, and unfortunately a bit of a door mat when it comes to Antonio.
Antonio is our "Hero". He's a firefighter and has taken over his parents pizzeria because his father suffered a heart attack. To say he hates the pizzeria would be an understatement. He resents the business for taking up his parents time growing up and feels like it was killing his father, with the heartattack it feeds into that belief. But he steps up to help his parents, as does Libby who is close to his parents and loves the pizzeria. The relationship with Libby and Antonio is and has been stressed. She has a crush and thinks he hates her, why you ask? Because he's an ass to her all the time, he's rude and dismissive to her. Now what I loved about this book is the story was well told, descriptive and has a good suportive cast of characters and Libby for the most part, if Antonio isn't around. Now this part is going be hard for me because I have never disliked any of ARR characters or books. However I disliked Antonio a lot! He was a weak hero. He judged Libby all the time with no real basis, except for one comment he overheard and what an ex did to him. Then he kept jumping to conclusions the whole book. The poor girl couldn't win and the sadder part is she kept forgiving him. He was insecure, judgemental, and I never wanted to reach through a book more to punch someone, but I wanted to everytime he called her "cute" or talked. It felt more condescending then a lovable name. It never felt like he truly respected her. I'm used to ARR
H and h to be strong of mind and character, to own their mistakes and then learn from them. To go after what they want and not take any crap. Sadly I didn't feel like this was represented in this book. I love Aurora Rose Reynolds, what she writes and how she writes them are fabulous, exciting and I hate finishing her books because then it will be over. I will continue to read her books because she delivers 99.9% of the time.
This book for me is a fluke.
Thanks to Netgallery for a copy of this book for a honest review.

First thanks to Netgallery for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love Aurora Rose Reynolds. I have read all her books and gave them all but one 4 or 5 star reviews. So when I saw this on Netgalley I jumped at the chance to read it.

This is the last book in the series about 3 sister who find love. I have read the other 2. the first book was my favorite. this was my second fav.

Libby Reed is the girly sister. she always dressed nice with full makeup and hair. she works at a salon. She loves her local Pizza shop and has drooled over the owners son Antoni who a firefighter for year. but he is alway short with her. When Tony Antonio's Dad had a heart attack Libby steps up to help with the Pizza shop. These 2 are forced to work together and as they do they change a lot of the perceptions they had about each other. Antonio and Libby go on dates and start to fall for each other. Antonio can't wait till the Pizza shop which he has always resented is sold so he and Libby can spend more time together, but Libby is hiding a BIG secret from hi.

If you like Aurora Rose Reynolds books then you will surly love this one too.

4 Stars

I could not read this book fast enough. I loved Libby. I was bummed that it took so many years for Antonio to figure his crap out. And then he still held back due to his past relationship. And he pissed me off when he was judging Libby. I don't think he fought hard enough for her. I loved seeing all the couples again. And I love their Mom and Dad and Ina. Antonio's parents were also a nice addition. I loved getting a little bit from Ina's POV also.

**3.5 Stars**

Tossed into Love is kind of an enemies to lovers story involving Antonio, a fireman, and Libby a makeup artist. Libby has had a long standing crush on Antonio, but he has always treated her poorly, until he finally sees the light.

I didn't particularly like Antonio as a character, but I did like Libby. I also enjoyed the other characters from the previous books, and of course Miss. Ina. I enjoyed the parts of the story involving the meddling mothers.

Overall this was a quick and okay read for me.

Things are heating up in the kitchen! Libby has had the hots for Antonio for years but Antonio isn't interested...or is he? A bad relationship turned him off the idea of becoming involved in another romance, but when his father falls ill, Libby pitches in to help him run his parents restaurant which results in them spending lots of time together. The more he's around her, the more he understands that she's not the shallow, materialistic second coming of his last girlfriend. Can Libby rekindle his interest in a love life? Aurora Rose Reynolds has a way of grabbing your attention and never letting go! I'm sold! Bring on the next one please! #NetGalley #Tossedintolove

This was a sweet story! Fawn's book is still my favorite, but this one was still enjoyable.

I liked the tension between the characters and the chance to see in Libby's head at the same time as her sisters' stories were going on

This is one of my favourite authors and I really enjoyed the book. I thought it was very well written and drew me in from the first chapter, saying that I found it very predictable. If you were looking for a different storyline for example dark and gritty you wouldn’t find it here. This story is light and fluffy, don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it but I didn’t have to tax my brain. Overall a good read and an excellent addition to the series. I would recommend this series of books to anyone looking for a light romantic read, summer holiday read or that of a rainy day.

I have been looking forward to this book for so long so I was ecstatic when I was given an opportunity to read this book before the release date. I was seriously jumping up and down I was so excited. This book did not let me down! I've had previous experiences where I had such high expectations for a book and was let down, but this was not the case for this book, I loved it! I should have never doubted Aurora Rose Reynolds!!

This book is the final book of the Fluke My Life series and I honestly thought this one was my favorite. Don't get me wrong I loved the men in the first two because they were police officers (I looooove my alpha men when they are cops!) but for some reason this one is staying with me a bit more. Besides Antonio is a firefighter... I likey.

I was quite annoyed with how much of a jerk Antonio was to Libby but it really was short lived and not as bad as some others I've read. When his misconceptions of Libby was realized he fell fast and was all in. And he was all in with Libby. He was hot, sweet, and pretty sexy with her. The whole alpha protective male is my favorite!!

As for Libby, I loved her!! She is a hard working, smart, compassionate and just an all round good person. She had such a crush on Antonio and her thinking he hated her was heart breaking, but that wasn't the case! I thought her stance on romance movies was really cute, so on point! I actually felt so bad for her in the first two books because she felt so left out of her older sister's lives. Being the oldest of three sisters, it made me re-evaluate my own relationship with my sisters. I'm just glad it was all a happy ending.

As much as how sweet and awesome their story was, I was not looking forward to a specific part of the book. I knew it was coming. I really hate conflict but it was all resolved in the end so its all good.

All in all an awesome finale to this series. I loved the epilogue in this book!!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book! All opinions are my own.
