I really wanted to love this one, but it was just okay for me. The writing itself flowed well, but I just couldn't get behind this story and these characters. Lucy quits her job because she's been in love with her boss for 2 years and she's pissed her doesn't return his feelings. Has she ever told him? No. Miles doesn't appreciate all the work that Lucy has done until she quits, so he decides to go along with her on her trip to convince her to come back. Lucy could have just told him no, and it didn't really make sense to let him come along, but I digress. After all is said and done, Miles is in love with Lucy after 2 weeks, and everything just felt rushed. I have enjoyed other books from this author, so I will be looking for more of her work.
I requested this book quite a while ago, but I kind of forgot about it? Such a shame, because this was such a cute, fun and easy read. I loved going on a road trip with Miles and Lucy and the way the author describes all the beautiful things they are visiting and viewing, it felt as I was with them.
Was everything very believable? No, not really. But that’s forgiven, just because the story is cute and fun and almost a perfect summer read. This is a story you want to read on your own roadtrip or when you are laying at the pool or at the beach.
I also loved the writing. It was good and before you know you have finished this lovely story. Nothing to special, just fun. And that is just what you need sometimes.
Rating: ***,5
Thank you Netgalley and Entangled for this E-ARC. This has not affected my opinion in any way.
The story was a cute one but overall this book was just alright for me. Enjoyable enough but not terribly memorable. The premise had promise but could have been more developed - same with characters.
Good book with a solid story. It was engaging and well written. Definitely one to add to your to be read pile.
The premise of this romcom sounded fun. And it was just that. Fun. Nothing ground breaking. Nothing that I will probably remember in the years to come. But still a fun book.
This was a light but packed romantic story where a one-sided attraction becomes something more as they spend more time together. I am normally a fan of close proximity forcing people to think of each other, but in this case, I felt like Miles had never considered Lucy as a female before, and the turnaround happened a little too quickly.
With that minor quibble aside, it was a fun story to follow.
Lucy decides on a dream job on a whim, one that she comes up with when challenged. She then has to bring it to reality while her former boss decides to tag along and figure out his professional life without her. Once that deal is set, only falling in love is left.
The writing was simple, and their romantic escapades were only mildly graphic, ones that I could skip with no loss to the narrative.
The characters were built well, each carrying emotional baggage from their upbringing, and they dealt with that during the course of their random journey. The sites visited were fun, and probably for people who have made a similar road trip ( I might have done a bit of it myself a couple of years ago), it will bring back memories.
I would recommend this to fans of the romance genre, and would not mind reading the stories of the other brothers (although they are all supposed to be standalones)
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
While I thought this was immensely readable, I ultimately wasn't able to suspend my disbelief enough for this to be a successful romance read for me. The set-up of Lucy quitting her job and turning around and becoming a travel influencer felt rushed to me, as did Miles's decision to join her trip. There was very little discussion about the power dynamics involved with the relationship even though the two don't get together until after Lucy no longer works for Miles, but given that her potential employment is on the board as a bet the entire road trip, I wish this hadn't been as glossed over as it was. The choice to make Lucy an influencer felt like an attempt to make this book feel uber contemporary and trendy rather than feeling like an actual choice that was in line with Lucy's character. Ultimately, these choices just kept snowballing in a way that kept me from enjoying this book more.
Absolutely loved this book. It was so entertaining and heartwarming. I loved their forced interactions and the sexual tension between them was top notch.
Lucy Gonzalez might have once been a stressed personal assistant, but now she’s hitched up her grandma’s bitchin’ vintage Airstream and is hitting the road with all the best places to find cheap eats and see the sights on a shoestring budget.
And she has company along for the ride. If those thirst-worthy abs seem familiar it’s because they belong to billionaire Miles Hart. True story, he used to be Lucy’s boss until she quit on him. Something about not being appreciated? Anyway, you will appreciate Miles—and his groveling—plenty on this trip.
Now, you have front row seats to the hottest trip of the year. Sparks! Fireworks! Unexpected smooching! And you won’t want to miss the jaw-dropping surprise that will make this destination totally worth the hilarious journe
I loved reading this one. I just love this kind of books.
4 stars read for me. I love this author snd her writing style.
Thanks to netgally for this arc.
This book was just sadly not for me! I was hoping for something different but it turned out to be something I was not expecting, which is okay and I'm sure someone else would love it!

As with all cliched relationships, Lucy starts off as Miles' assistant. When she realizes that her feelings won't be reciprocated by him and that she'll never be anything more than someone who books his Wednesday night dinners with the random hook-ups he has or schedules when his laundry is picked up, she decides to quit her job and blaze her own trail.... down Route 66 in an Airstream.
Miles, a week after Lucy quits, realizes he's made a huge mistake by letting her go, so he lands himself on her doorstep the morning she's set to leave town, with his own bags packed.... because he's inviting himself and crashing her solo travel plans, intent on getting her back in his employ.
En route, both Lucy and Miles make a bet where if Miles makes it to the end of the trip, Lucy agrees to come back to the company as his assistant, like nothing has changed; whereas, if Lucy wins the bet (that Miles doesn't make it to the end), she never comes back to the company and Miles leaves her alone.
The story is told in dual POV, but the beginning felt more like it was slanted toward Lucy's viewpoint; however, as the trip progresses, the reader finds out a little bit about Miles and his background story, while getting nothing from Lucy's background (aside from that her parents were strict while she was growing up, and it wasn't until chapter 8 when her last name was even mentioned!). This story feels like it starts in the middle of both their lives and then continues for this road trip, as there is no character development for Lucy at all, while Miles divulges a snapshot peek into his own childhood upbringing. It was quite disorienting to read a book where the characters didn't grow or learn from their past experiences because the author didn't bother to give the insight to the reader.
As far as rom-coms go, this one was flimsy at best, just due to the lack of growth. Lucy is a smartass and Miles is uptight.... that's it. There could have been so many avenues for the author to take with each character, but it was always backed off. Lucy had accused Miles of being "surface," and that is exactly what this whole book felt like - surface, with nothing deeper.

Perfect light and funny read!
The characters were cute,
& the story wasn’t complicated.
Thanks NetGalley for this free copy in exchange for my honest review!
***** I have received and read an e - ARC from NetGalley in exchange for giving my honest feedback. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.*****
It’s an average MF romcom, and nothing felt new or out of the ordinary.
No terrible, but not one I’d pick up and read again.
This was such a fun read! It was light, had wit, romance, and was a great road trip.
Many thanks to Entangled Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.
15% and realized this book needed some serious editing -- how is Miles the COO, the head of HR *and* the head of marketing all at once? No man is capable of juggling all that.
However, it's still a fun road trip romance with likable characters and an adventure for the reader to go on, so I give it a solid 3/5 stars.
Miles and Miles of You is a close proximity, billionaire and road trip romance. Miles is a billionaire ceo and Lucy is his former assistant and budding travel influencer. Miles is trying to get her to come back to work for him and so they make a bet on who can last longer on a road trip through Route 66. It was cute and a fast read with a nice happy ending. I didnt always understand the attraction between the two of them, especially how Lucy could have been in love with him all these years instead of just in lust. But it was enjoyable to read and I would definitely read another about his others brothers.
Lucy Gonzalez went from being a stressed out personal assistant to traveling in her grandma's vintage Airstream around the US. Her travel partner is billionaire Miles Hart, who is also her former boss. She quit due to not being appreciated by Miles. He spends the trip trying to appreciate her as well as grovel.
I liked the romance between Lucy and Miles. They both got to know each other better and meet the real versions of each other. They opened up to each other and the chemistry between the two was great. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.
Miles and Miles of You is a cute, fast read centered about Lucy Gonzales who decided to ditch her job and history of a personal assistant and hit the road with an Airstream as she find out of the way food and sight seeing spots. Along for the ride is her former boss, Miles, who lost Lucy once before when he didn't appreciate her enough. I loved being a backseat passenger on this fun, laugh out loud love story and look forward to reading more Jennifer Bonds books!
This was a cute and fun road trip romance. The spice was delightful and the characters had great chemistry and banter. I'm looking forward to future books in this world.
