I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.
Annabelle has worked as gallery manager for Louis, an artist, for the last six months and is hiding the fact that she is in love with him. Then her lease ends suddenly and he invites her to move in with him. Even the blurb for this novel uses the word "cliche", but while there was nothing particularly original about the plot, it was nevertheless enjoyable. Louis is sweet and funny, and Annabelle (from whose perspective the narrative is told) is likeable and competent. There is no conflict and, apart from a burglary which occurs towards the end, little by way of real plot, but it was still an entertaining read.
OH MY GAWD, I ADORE THIS SERIES. Like, seriously. I thought James and Topher were awesome. I thought Ham and Leah were sweetly cute. AND NOW WE HAVE LOUIS AND ANNABELLE. *draws glittery hearts around all three of the couples*
Now, Louis and Annabelle weren't as adorably opposite as the other two couples. In fact, they fit remarkably well together even before they fit together in the physical sense. Louis can be dramatic and relentless when he wants something. Annabelle is conscientious when it comes to her job, but she still has a bit of a wild streak that complemented Louis's dramatics. (Not that he was overly dramatic, he was just very artsy. As in, with an artsy personality. What? It worked for him.)
Just so we're clear, their lack of oppositedness doesn't mean they don't have hurdles to clear. Louis is self-conscious about the injuries that took his leg. Annabelle is trying REALLY HARD not to let on she has a massive crush of her boss. Which is all thrown out the window one tipsy night, but those things happen, amirite?
Anywho. Louis is flirty and adorable. Annabelle is sassy and protective of the man who makes her heart go pitter-patter. I kinda loved them together and I'm so sad this is the final book in the series. (At least that's what I assume seeing as all three of the men have now found their special someone.) That said, I've loved all the books in this series and I'm perpetually down for a reread of any and all of them.
