This was light hearted girl next door romance.

Brooke just moved to upstate New York for a job as real estate agent she knows what it’s like to have people let you down and although it’s seems Brooke is cold she really isn’t she just keeps things close to the vest. She actually really funny and compassionate.

Macy is a property staging homes and offices she likes that it gives her control and although she had a great love once and still mourning she stills believes in love. When Macy accidentally runs Brooke down while on her way to meeting where Brooke works it doesn’t go great but as they keep running into each other in and out of the office a friendship is form.

As they get to know each other neither are looking for anything as Macy shows Brooke around their friendship starts to feel more. I really enjoy this read the chemistry was on point I love Macy because she so cute and clumsy. I like that it was low on angst and it was more fluffy and cute this could be a great rom-com on Netflix Amazon or any network. I like the supporting characters I so hope we get a story with Sasha I love her.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

“16 Steps to Forever” is a very sweet, lighthearted girl-next-door romance. In a way, this reminded me of “Hopeless Romantic” in that the romance is the focal point of story. It’s the story of two women meeting (in a delightfully embarrassing meet-cute) and falling in love. There’s a touch of angst but it’s mostly a fluffy, adorable story.
The blurb is a tad misleading as it makes it seem as though Brooke is an ice queen. She isn’t, she’s just a bit more reserved at first. She’s funny, considerate and loveable. Brooke has just moved to upstate New York for a new job as real estate agent and also to get away from her family when they won’t accept her being bisexual.
Macy is adorable and charmingly clumsy. She had a great love once and is now happy hanging with her pets and family. She meets Brooke when she accidentally runs her down on the way to a meeting. Macy is Brooke’s company’s property stager for the homes and offices they sell. After the incident, they continue to run in to each other in and out of the office.
Neither one is looking for anything other than friendship. Brooke is new to town and doesn’t really know anyone so they start off as friends with Macy showing her places around town. Their chemistry is pretty obvious on their second meeting and it doesn’t take long until they’re going from not date dates to actual dates. From then on, it’s all about the fluff and romance and their palpable attraction.
I do want to mention that there is a black moment for a minute, it should actually be considered a gray moment right around the 90% mark. However, it didn’t make the ending feel rushed in this instance as the issue was resolved fairly quickly because Brooke and Macy are grown women who actually know how to use words and communicate, which was refreshing.
I recommend this to all fans of pure romance. If you want to just get away from the stress of your life for a couple of hours this is definitely the book for you.
I received and ARC from NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books in an exchange for an honest review.

I love Georgia Beers. Seriously, she is one of the few authors that I will support without reading a sample beforehand. Because she’s just that good! Macy and Brooke were perfect for each other. It’s interesting that the synopsis makes its seem like Brooke is a little cold and unyielding and that is far from the truth. She was just reserved but was really willing to open up to Macy, Lucas and Sasha. I loved her personality and Macy was sweet but no pushover. They are the perfect couple. I just don’t think that the drama at the end of the book was necessary. But other than that this book was close to perfection. And I really hope that Sasha gets the next book!

Georgia Beers has written another super sweet story! Macy and Brooke's first meeting did not go as well as either one had hoped. Fortunately, for Macy, Brooke didn't hold a grudge but instead found her clumsiness to be endearing. Macy and Brooke's relationship was sweet and the reader couldn't help but root for these two. Macy's nephew Tyler was an excellent addition to this cast of supporting characters. I found all of the business names to be incredibly witty as is the title. Thank you Georgia Beers for another wonderful read!
