I loved this so much! Secretly Yours was so amazing and I could not wait to read this one! They were absolutely adorable and the tropes were 11/10! Love this small town setting so much!

I love Tessa Bailey!
One of my absolute favorites this book was amazing. I enjoyed the characters, the storyline, the setting. I felt like they had real issues and dynamics that affects couples in "real life." Loved it!

Definitely not my favorite Tessa Bailey. I couldn't root for the main characters in this one, and August was just... very dysfunctional, and never really moved beyond that.

I'm catching up on reviews and once again, I'm struggling to connect with a Tessa Bailey novel! I continue to read her books in hopes of falling back in love with her books, but I find myself struggling to stay engaged in the story and feel myself cringing at the awkward sex scenes.
The typical trope of a marriage of convenience that falls apart, Natalie loses her job and then her fiance and tries to pick up the pieces of her life. She is desperate to find connection and turns to August. This is also a sham of a relationship until they realize that they have a big connection.
This book was certainly better than Secretly Yours, but still didn't take the cake for me. I wanted more from August as a character (love the name!), but I do love how Natalie and August's love story turned out!

I ended up dnfing this book. I might try to pick it up again on a later date but just couldn’t get into the book

I have to admit that I wasn’t a huge fan of the first book, Secretly Yours, but I did love Natalie as a side character. I was excited to read her story and it met my expectations. I expected chemistry, banter, humor, and cheesy *p0rn quality* spice and it’s all there.

Natalie is stuck and her only way out is to receive her inheritance. August is financially struggling to get his winery going. Even though she doesn’t like August she comes up with a plan that can help them both. If they marry she can receive her inheritance and together they can help his winery become a success.

This marriage of convenience story between two people who don’t even tolerate each other was full of chemistry and banter. August and Natalie were so much fun with their black cat and golden retriever energy. The relationship between Natalie who denied her feelings and August who fell hard added tension and plenty of witty dialogue.

This book was not my favorite by Tessa Bailey. I am a 1-click customer of here and will continue to be, but this book didn’t burrow into my heart. I know I’m in the minority on this, so give it a try and maybe it will click with you! I thank the publisher, author and netgalley for this ARC.

Tessa Bailey never fails to disappoint! Unfortunately Yours is a fun, feelgood story. Natalie and August are lovable, despite their flaws and stubbornness. This is a great book to read if you need to escape reality for a while. Can’t wait for Tessa’s next tale!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC. I absolutely loved it!! Highly recommend this read!
This is one I wish I could go back and read again for the first time!

Yes ma’am, Tessa Bailey! I know your full time job is to write for our pleasure, but could you please get rid of your extracurriculars / hobbies and write in all of your spare time? Love love love this one!

Tessa Bailey is an auto-buy author for me, however, that doesn't always mean I fall in love with each book. Some have been a bit too comical with ridiculous heroine's I couldn't realistically envision, but others suck me in and don't let go. That was Unfortunately Yours.

I did not read the first book in this series, but I was still able to follow along just fine and didn't feel like I missed any important background.

Natalie is a strong character with dry humor and a smart attitude. But it was the MMC, August, who captivated my heart. His passion for trying to help his late friend's legacy and dream as a winemaker was more than just heartwarming, it brought me to tears. I felt so bad for him each time we learn how terrible his wine is. Natalie's fierce personality and August's ex-Navy Seal bravado made for the trademark humor, banter and spice we know from Tessa Bailey.

This is one of my favorite romances in the past year, and one I will recommend to all my friends looking for a fresh read.

IF YOU LOVE ENEMIES TO LOVERS, FAKE RELATIONSHIP TROPES, THIS BOOK WAS MADE FOR YOU. I seriously am OBSESSED and have the biggest book hangover from this book. It's the perfect read to get you in the Valentine's Day mood.

Tessa Bailey just ALWAYS HITS. These characters had the best heated moments, made me laugh out loud, and truly were BEYOND adorable. Big military man meets business girl in NYC, it was just the cutest.

Overall, this is such a must read and this entire series (A VINE MESS) does not get the credit it deserves!! Add this to your list ASAP you won't regret it!!!

"Unfortunately Yours" by Tessa Bailey was not my favorite of Ms. Bailey’s novels, but overall very enjoyable!

As always, her characters are engaging and fun! Tessa Bailey's wit and the chemistry between the protagonists make this a highly enjoyable read, perfect for those seeking a lighthearted romantic escape.

Thank you so much for this copy. I read the first one and it was okay. I was determined to read the first part because I was invested. I unfortunately, did not like it. I thought the romance was a little cringe and there wasn’t really that much character development. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but this was just every rushed and it was hard to finish it.

Another amazing Tessa Bailey masterpiece!! I ripped thorugh this book in a day and loved it. Really hoping she will continue this series.

I was happy to get this book because I enjoyed Julian and Halle’s story in book one. However when I started the second book in the dulogy, I didn’t enjoy it as much as the predecessor. Tessa Bailey is a strong writer, and her stories move quickly while being filled with flirting and sizzling moments. Unfortunately Yours has all those elements. For me, what was lacking was the charm between the characters. August was a solid romantic lead, his backstory was flushed out, and well-develop, but to be quite honest, I found myself actively disliking Natalie. I didn’t care about her or her issues. The romance and Bailey’s writing made the worth reading but, at times, it was a struggle.

I love Tessa Bailey and jump at the chance to read her books. This title was an excellent example of her skills and talent. She always manages to blend humor and erotic scenes in the best way. I always find myself laughing out loud and then fanning myself with a particularly steamy scene. Will always request her titles.

Thank you for this ARC copy.

This was a cute fake dating/marriage troupe. Nice spice and a good amount of witty banter. Overall a good read. Reminded me of the movie The Proposal. .

I am a huge Tessa Bailey fan and being able to read more about some of the characters seen in Secretly Yours was a delight. I loved this marriage of convenience! The love interests had incredibly chemistry and you wanted them to make it for the very start! Such a steamy fun read!

I liked this one better than the first in the series, but it was not my favorite of Tessa Bailey's books.
