Thank you netgalley and publisher for allowing me to read this. That said, these are my own opinions.

Just a Fling is a second chance romance. I will be honest that most of the books I apply for I do it based off cover and part description.. I am not a fan of the second chance trope. That said, this book was fine. I tried to push my own feelings towards the trope aside and with doing that I feel I am able to rate this three stars based on how cute, relatable, a bit predictable, and well written this book is. I do reccomend if you want a light read.

I adored this book! I'm such a sucker for second chance romances, so this one checked ALL the boxes. I appreciated that the author provided the back story of Dawn & Callahan's relationship, to help tie the story all together.

This book has it all. Romance, steamy scenes, working through difficulties, along with some deeper subjects that just make the characters seem relatable.

Thank you Net Galley for the advanced copy!

When I read the blurb for this book, I knew that I had to read it. It was a second chance romance, that touched on legal work and travel—what’s not to love. The author did an amazing job of making the characters feel real and their careers seem genuine. I feel often jobs or passions can feel like props in books, where we either don’t get enough information to ground it or it’s a massive information dump. Here, the author created a wonderful balance, which made the characters so much more real.

The one issue I had with this book was the timeline. I usually love a nonlinear storyline, but, in this case, it didn’t work for me. The book started in the present, before going to the past, and then back to the present. By having the first four chapters in the present, I knew the conflicts/ problems and wanted to know how they were resolved. We then spent the next forty percent book reading about how those problems came to be. While this was the heart of the novel and very interesting, sometimes it felt like it was in my way to finding out what happened next… And I desperately wanted to know what came next, and how Dawn and Callan overcame these issues. But instead I was reading about how these issues came to be. It took all of my self control not to jump to the second present timeline, and then come back and read the past once I finished.

All that being said, I still really enjoyed this book. I thought the story was interesting and the charters relatable. It’s definitely worth reading if you like second chance romances or romance books that have connections to the legal field.

Rollercoaster of emotion while multiple players push fate to bring together two misdirected and somewhat lost souls. Nothing goes smoothly, and obstacles abound - but the story moves fast as it pulls you along with them, rooting them on. Will they ultimately find what they are looking for?
