This is a story that happens partially from a portion of Best Fremies and the love story of different main characters. I enjoyed getting to know Sammy and Noah better. There were many cute and funny moments. I feel as though the big conflict to a hea near the end of the book was resolved and people changed their mood way too quickly to be authentic, but it doesn't overshadow my overall enjoyment of this book. You definitely get more interaction and depth with multiple outside characters compared to it being mostly comprised of the male and female leads going back and forth in the previous book.

This dual-POV (part 1 and part 2) love triangle romance was a unique read for me. As a mother to a younger child, I definitely feel for the chaos Sammy goes through, though I can't imagine how much she struggles in her situation. I love every bit of support in her "village" along the way, especially her sister Brooke (who is VERY annoyingly nosy). Sammy's two very energetic boys definitely keep her hands full, and I've experienced many of her same inner thoughts, and it's nice that the author really put the spotlight on how imperfect parenting is, and how we can eternally love but occasionally slightly dislike the choices of our children. I think Grant is my favorite of her kids because he is so sweet and helpful but also adventurous and daring, and he reminds me so much of my little one.

I made a guess as to the choice Sammy would likely have made at the end of the book, and I was right. However, I did NOT expect the reason why one choice was favored over the other to be so… ick.

Likes: The pop culture references were amazing, and I hope the other books have just as many! I also enjoyed the little twists along the way. You spend so much of the book assuming a few things and then it turns unexpectedly!

Dislikes: When about halfway through the book, it became obvious as to what choice would not be happening. At that moment, it was "okay… so what's the rest of the book going to be about then?" I was waiting for a bigger conflict to happen for Sammy, like for her ex to show up either trying to win her back or trying to get custody or something. Not that I would've wanted that to happen, obviously, but some moments were more underwhelming. And, for a reference in the book, I'm looking to be a little more whelmed in my life than I currently am ;)

Ahh, Sammy and Noah (sigh)! Sammy is a divorced mother of two and trying to navigate thru life as best as she can. She works as the manager at a restaurant. It is there where she meets a handsome and charismatic man. He is definitely interested in her, by repeatedly asking her out, even thou she always turns him down. At the same time, her sister is trying her best to play matchmaker, with Noah, a doctor. Sammy doesn’t feel the time is right, while she’s raising two boys.

Finally, Sammy decides to accept Gavin’s invite to go on a date. The man is handsome, charming, and really interested in her. While on the date, her sister who is baby sitting, calls her to let her know she had to take one of her boys to the hospital. Gavin drives her to the emergency room, and after dropping her off meets her inside. Noah, the doctor is on duty, and tells her everything will be fine, it was a clean break. While there, the two men have a pissing contest with her, who will win?

After another disaster of a date with Gavin, Sammy doesn’t really want to waste his time by dating him. However, when she tells him, he yells at her and calls names, plus he leaves her without a ride to go home. Her sister keeps pushing Dr Noah to her, so maybe she needs to go in that direction.

Do Noah and Sammy get their HEA? Read this fabulous book to find out. I loved it!

What a well written novel! Thoroughly enjoyed the adventures and escapades of Sammy and Noah primarily and all their friends and family intertwined. Sammy is a single mum who has recently moved to New York, Noah is a hot doctor who has established a close relationship with Sammy's sister and they are made for each other. Although they can't see this straightaway, the book has a few twists and turns with a few comedy moments which provide a number of laughs. Thanks for the great read Max Monroe and thanks to Net Galley for the advanced copy

One Divorcee, Two rambunctious little boys, Two Grown up Suiters, Numerous Misunderstandings, and a near death experience

This book is hilarious. I laughed out loud a few times. Keep that in mind when reading/listening.

This book follows Sammy who is the sister of Brooke (Accidental Attachment) and her life as a semi new single mother of two active little boys and her newly developed dating life. One one side you have Noah, the hot Doc that her sister has been trying to set her up with and on the other you have Gavin who is a businessman and regular at the restaurant that Sammy manages. Gavin actively pursues Sammy, while Noah’s pursuit is more subtle. There are a lot of misunderstandings, hilarious boy mom moments, and meddling sister incidents. This book has it all, and ad the heart is a mom trying to juggle being a mom and having a personal life.

I really enjoyed this story, I have read several Max Monroe books and this one is definitely entertaining. If you want a good story, with lots of twists and turns, and a ton of laughs, be sure you grab this one. You won’t be disappointed.

Sammy is the divorced mother of two boys, who moves to new york to start over, what she didn't anticipate was waking up in the hospital. really enjoyed the story.

This was so GOOD. I loved it!

I did not expect the plot twist I got with this. I thought that Sammy was a great FMC. I thought she was relatable in the ways that a person should relate to a single mom who is just starting to get back out into the dating scene after having kids (I haven't experienced it, but I understood her POV/feelings)

I do love me a good love triangle as well. I was not expecting the plot twist at the end either!

Sebastian York's voice could potentially make me like anything as well so I loved having the audio version!

Overall, I would recommend if you're looking for an easy read!

Thank you to Max Monroe & Netgalley for the e-arc/audio arc of this book! All thoughts and opinions are my own & were not influenced in any way!

This is the first book I've read from Max Monroe.

I really like how Sammy's and Noah's points of view are split evenly throughout the chapters. Sammy is incredibly caring, compassionate, and funny. She is doing her best to overcome the numerous obstacles that life has placed at her. It's just unbelievable how wonderful Noah is. He's really perfect. He's been in love with Sammy for a while, but he also knows that she needs space and time to feel the same way. For these two to come together, fate kept getting in the way! I immediately became interested in this book since it is so unique.

Thanks to Max Monroe and Netgalley for this ARC in return for my honest review.

I love it!
It has the right amount of spice and the right amount of stomach butterflies.

Short description:
- single mom of 2 boys
- dr mmc

I'm not into love triangles, but I loved them enough to finish the whole book. The only flaw I see is that the main characters are in their 40s but act like in their 20s. In general, it's still a good reading experience.
Thank you netgalley!

I appreciate that not everything by Max Monroe is slapstick type of comedy, as some of their others that I have read. I think it was refreshing to read about some older characters, 20 yr olds have a very different vibe in a romance. I think this shows their range as authors, and I appreciated the humor, steam, and storytelling.

This was my first Max Monroe novel, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly this storyline grab my attention. From the 40 something characters, the love triangle, between Sammy, Gavin and Noah, I was team Noah all the way BTW……. This story was Hot, Steamy, Sexy and Funny. Had me laughing and routing for Sammy & Noah. I also loved the relationship between Sammy and her sister Brooke which made me wish my relationship with my sisters was like this. Characters were very likeable and they were easy to relate to, I will definitely recommend this book to my friends.
Thank you NetGalley and Max Monroe for the ARC and the opportunity to review this book.

The best way to read this book is go into it blind, which I did. The prologue starts when Sammy is waking up in hospital after an accident. Who is the man lying injured in the room beside her? The story then backtracks a few weeks, to when she has two men vying for her attention. A hot doctor she's known for a few months - as he's a family friend - and a hot businessman she's met recently at the restaurant where she works as manager. Sammy is divorced with two very active little boys and doesn't really have the time to date men. Her life is chaotic enough. The book is well written and I really enjoyed the banter and interaction between the characters. While I wasn't a fan of her sister Brooke's story, I really enjoyed this one. Set in new York.

(Brooke and Chase from Accidental Attachment appear as main side characters, so if you haven't read that book, there will be spoilers for their story.) I wanted to keep reading to see what man was in that hospital room, so I had to stop myself from checking out the reviews. Lol. The book is well written as usual by this author and there's fun, angst, drama and lots of love. There are only a few steamy romance scenes, but they are realistic and beautifully written.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in return for my opinion. 4.5 stars rounded up.

I was curious to see what would happen to Sammy when I found out book 3 was about her, and I was so happy.

I really like Sammy, and her struggles to rebuild her life as a mom of two, after a divorce, in a new city with a new job.

The love triangle was an added bonus, in this case. I don't usually like them, but it was executed pretty well, since it didn't go too long into it..

Noah is a cinnamon roll, what any woman needs in their life!

I wanted to love this book. I read the first book in the series but I didn’t feel it with this one. I like the characters but I felt the story was a little far fetched. The writing is good, I just couldn’t connect with the story. It was just ok for me.
3 stars

Thank you to @netgalley for my gifted copy

Cluelessly Yours made me laugh so hard that I couldn't control myself. Thank you for the opportunity to read it ahead of schedule; it was fascinating. Throughout the book, I genuinely enjoyed most of the characters and their reactions.

Thank you NetGalley for the Ebook of this.
The timeless tale of a love triangle. Just when our MFC chooses a guy, she gets hit by a taxi and ends up in a coma.
When she wakes up, a very pregnant woman is sitting idle by her guy's hospital bed (he is also in a coma from the accident) and saying he is her boyfriend.

Sammy and the universe don't get along. She is divorced with 2 young WILD boys. Her ex husband is a dead beat and complete tool, her vagina has been out of service for a long while, and she can't go on a single date without some type of chaos ensuing.

Lucky for Sammy, her perpetual ride on the crazy train garners the interest of two hot bachelors.
Will she choose the hot doctor who is friends with her sister and swoops in to dave the day on numerous occasions? Or will she choose the swanky business man who is not subtle in his pursuit.

I loved Sammy. She was absolutely hysterical. With lines like "My beaver is still aching from playing BDSM with a dog leash", she is my type of gal.
She has had the odds stacked against her repeatedly so her confidence is shot, her social cues are off the mark, and she is too tired to care. She deserves too hotties fighting over her.
This was a fun read with witty banter. I will definitely read the prior books in this series.

In Cluelessly Yours by Max Monroe, Sammie Baker is a divorced, single mother trying to juggle two very active young boys, with an absent father, and a job in New York City. She is positive she cannot add another thing to her plate, especially a man, who in her experience, would only place additional demands on her time and further complicate her life. But Gavin, a business client from work just won’t take no for an answer. The next thing she knows, she is attracted to two men who both seem to be interested in her in return. Noah, a pediatric anesthesiologist, met Sammie through her younger sister, Brooke. He is extremely interested in Sammie and really likes her boys, but has not pursued her because she wasn’t ready to date. When he discovers that she went on a date with someone else, Noah knows that he needs to make his interest clear or lose his chance. The book is filled with missed opportunities, crazy kid antics, trips to the ER, and misunderstandings keep the reader laughing all the way to the happily ever after. This second chance for love romcom is another hit by the fabulous writing duo who brought us the Billionaire Bad Boys and the Billionaire Collection. Cluelessly Yours is the third book in the It’s a Funny Story series, which started with Brooke’s highly entertaining story. It can be read as a stand-alone, but the reading experience is enriched by having read the two previous books in the series. I experiences this story in audiobook form and highly recommend the experience, the narrators were wonderful and added to the comedic impact of the story. I definitely recommend this audiobook for readers who enjoy contemporary romcom. I am voluntarily writing this honest review after listening to an advanced complementary copy of this audiobook thanks to Netgalley and Max Monroe.

The blurb had me very intrigued, and then the prologue had me hooked. I needed to know what was going to happen with Sammy and her situation. I want to start off by saying I loved the fact both characters were in their 40's. The older I get, the more I want to read about couples or characters in my same age bracket. While you don't need to read the previous books in the series to enjoy this one, it might add to your experience.

This story follows Sammy, a divorced mother of two, and Noah, a friend of her sister's & BIL who's a doctor. They met a few months prior and formed their own friendship, though her sister keeps pushing to pursue a dating relationship with Noah. Of course Sammy claims she's not ready to date anyone as she's still adjusting to moving cities, being a single mom to a pair of wild boys, and just trying to find her footing in her new life.

But wouldn't you know it, Sammy ends up catching the eye of not just Noah but also the eye of a regular at the restaurant she manages. What follows is a story of a woman trying to figure out what she wants, and who she wants it with while balancing everything else life throws at her. In typical Max Monroe fashion though, there are tons of laughs along the way. There are cute dogs, highly energized kids, a meddling sister, and quite a few twists and turns to keep you on your toes!

It's a dual POV story told in three parts which was really interesting! The first two parts are told from one character's POV, then the last part is told in alternating POV. I know some people are picky with the voice of the books they read, so wanted to put that out there.

And look, I know the blurb is a little "WTF" but do yourself a favor and give this story a chance! I feel like I can't really say anything without spoiling how great this book is but just trust me. You won't be sorry!

This is Book 3 of It’s A Funny Story Series.

I was lucky enough to receive as an ARC.

Cluelessly Yours takes you on an unexpected and heartwarming journey through the chaos of love, second chances, and unexpected twists. Sammy Baker, a resilient single mom with Legos under her feet and the world on her shoulders, finds herself in a whirlwind of emotions when the man she loves is in a coma, and a pregnant woman claims he's the father.

The plot unfolds with a perfect blend of humour, heartache, and romance. Max Monroe weaves a captivating narrative that keeps you hooked from the very first page. The characters are well-developed, and their struggles and triumphs resonate with the reader.

Sammy's dilemma of choosing between a successful businessman and an eligible bachelor doctor adds layers of complexity to the story. The author skilfully explores the themes of love, destiny, and the unpredictability of life. The smart choice may seem clear, but the heart has its own desires, and fate has a way of intervening.

The writing style is engaging, filled with witty dialogue and emotional depth. The humour provides a delightful balance to the more serious moments, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read. The pacing is excellent, and the plot twists keep you guessing until the very end.

Cluelessly Yours is a delightful romantic tale that will make you laugh, cry, and root for love against all odds. Max Monroe has crafted a story that lingers in your heart, reminding us that sometimes, the most unexpected paths lead to the most beautiful destinations. Highly recommended for fans of romantic comedies with a touch of drama.
