What a CUTE book!

I adored this quick, fun read about Sammy and her chaotic life. Sammy, divorced mom of two very energetic and unfiltered boys, recently moved to New York City to be closer to her sister and for a fresh start. Her sister, Brooke, a high profile romance author, is determined to play matchmaker. Sammy is more than resistant as her life just seems too busy and crazy. Her oldest son almost gets expelled (such a funny scene!), her youngest breaks his arm, and her nanny is moving to go to grad school. Throughout these and many other unfortunate events, Sammy's plate is just too full, or is it?

Enter in Noah and Gavin. One is a hot doctor (and advocated by Sammy's sister to date), and the other is a businessman and also hot. As Sammy tries to navigate dating with motherhood, work (she is a general manager of a popular NYC restaurant), and ensuring her high risk pregnant sister is ok, she learns a lot about letting go, letting good things happen to her, and finding out who is truly in her corner.

There were some twists and turns in this book, some I did not see coming. I think they added some interesting and complex layers to an overall cute. rompy romance. While there is a book before this that introduces Brooke and her fiance, this can be read as a standalone without missing a beat. I absolutely LOVED the references to things such as Friends, The Office, and Rookie of the Year. There was a good amount of laughs had while reading and just enough steam to spice it up a little.

I'm a newer Max Monroe fan. I wasn't aware this was the 3rd book in a series. But that didn't stop me from enjoying the book. I loved the set-up of the prologue and then going back in time to bring you back to the present day. The author definitely took us on a roller coaster of emotions and I found myself switching whose "team" I was on throughout the whole book. I am definitely intrigued to go back and finish the series to read about the other characters' stories. I can't wait to see what Max & Monroe come up with next!

This was so delightfully bizarre and was such a wild ride from start to finish.

Honestly, I only cared about Noah the whole time. Gavin squicked me out immediately, while Noah was giving me cool and calm vibes. That said, Sam has 0 self preservation skills so it was honestly a total mystery of which way it was going to go!

It wasn’t terribly realistic or relatable, but I absolutely did have a good time about it so I’d do it again!

Cluelessly Yours by Max Monroe

One Hot Mama, Two Dudes and Two Tiny Terrors: The Hilarious Love Triangle of Cluelessly Yours!

Sammy is an overwhelmed, HOT MESS trying to make her way from being a stay-at-home mom to a forty-one-year-old single mom with two young boys. Her current life, filled with schedules, a new job, and trying to take care of her overactive and impulsive boys isn’t exactly conducive to dating. But ready or not, there are two men that want to put her in the “middle of a two-man sandwich”, although not at the same time! Oh, a love triangle! “The problem is, these days, in the world of Sammy Baker, pretty much all guys finish last.”
💜Gavin, a mid-forties and incredibly successful businessman, continues to remain interested in and her even after their disastrous dates. He wants to show her the fun she’s missing in her life, no commitments!
💜Noah, a too good to be true pediatric anesthesiologist, gets along so well with her boys and is always there when she needs him. Unfortunately, every other woman seems to want him too!

Max Monroe writes a fantastic blend of heat and hilarity in a rom-com with characters in their forties trying to find the “one” that fits their life. Sammy’s comedic mishaps, her boys’ antics and the simmering tension between her and her MMC makes this book one of their best yet! The pacing is quick and engaging with a few plot twists that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.

I loved the cameos of Dr. Cummings. Melody and Dr. Shepherd from their Dr. is In series. Also, the “Friends” references in the book hit home with this reviewer! How can you not love a book with a dog named Chanandler Bong!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Another fabulous book from Max Monroe! I love the way these books are written. I laugh, I cry, and I fall in love with the characters! Sammy and Noah were amazing as a couple, and I loved how relatable the mom life of Sammy was. Brooke making another appearance, and I laughed at almost every scene she was in! This is definitely one I’ll recommend over and over!

Loving this book so far! Max Monroe is a new author for me, but one that will move to my auto buy author list

Loved this book. Sammy and Noah were great. I loved that Noah knew what he wanted and decided with a fierceness to go for it. I also loved him with Sammy's children. Brooke was a great support for their relationship. This book was amazing.

I'm rounding up from 4.5 stars only because I thought that the beginning was a little on the slow side and a little messy. This is an interconnected standalone and can be read on its own. Although, I think I enjoyed this more because I had read Brooke and Chase's story. Sammy is a single mom of 2 boys and her life is crazy. She finds herself getting attention from 2 men and it unnerves her a bit especially since her sister is pushing one of them on her. She resists letting herself enjoy anything at first, but relents and gives one of them a chance. She feels guilty and finds herself drawn to the other one more than the one she's actually seeing. It wouldn't be a good book without poor choices and misunderstandings. There's embarrassing situations and hysterical mishaps. I enjoyed how this plays out, despite some tough events. It's not a secret that there's a HEA, it just takes some angst getting there. Overall, it was a great and worthy read.
I was given this ARC in exchange for my honest review. This wasn't my first read from the author and it won't be my last.

Cluelessly Yours takes place in New York City and is the story of a single mother who is stretched thin and an anesthesiologist who just wants the chance to show her that he's the man she's been looking for. I'm going to keep this pretty simple; this is a feel-good love story. Are there loose ends when the book is done, yes. Are some of them things I wish were resolved, also yes. However, Sammy and Noah are such a good couple. They deserve happiness together with Sammy's young sons. This book made me smile, laugh, shake my fist, growl in frustration, and just get all the feels. If you have read Accidental Attachment, you'll recognize not only characters in this story but some of the same scenes. It's rare that I give a book 5 stars, but I am going to give this one 5 stars because I think I will remember it months from now and it will make me happy all over again. I am looking forward to what the author writes next. I know who I want to see get their happily ever after from this story!

I loved the premise of Cluelessly Yours and was so excited to read it but it isn't working for me at all. I expected it to be funny but I haven't laughed once. I don't if it's my mood or what but I'm not connecting with it. Sadly, I'm DNFing at 23%.

Looking for a fun lighthearted read to make you giggle? This isn't it. This book will make you burst out with raucous laughter causing disturbance to anyone within the same room or even building as you! It's a hilarious story of a single mom of two wildly hilarious small boys just trying to survive on her own and maybe get a bit of her groove back while keeping her job, her children, her sister and the world around her in check. The universe it seems has different plans for her! If you haven't read any of Max Monroe's books before then I highly recommend that you start with the first book in this series as each book more fully introduces the characters and brings them more fully to life. Not to mention, hours upon hours of giggles, snorts and raucous laughter. These books are the fun that you didn't know your life needed with a bit of steam to heat up your reading time with! While you could just enjoy the wonderful plot and characters of this book, you might not get the full effect of raucous laughter if you don't know the full story of all the characters so do yourself a favor and start with book one. Just be warned, you will cause a disturbance to the public if you read where others can see or hear you. Also if you read in bed at night and have a mate, then I suggest you get them some really, really good earplugs or they will grumble when you wake them up...again.....(Sorry Ed...sorta)!

Having previously read the other 2 interconnected standalone from this series I was excited to read this one.
This is Sammy's story and man does she just get crapped on.
Divorced single mom, 2 rambunctious boys, an MIA ex husband, and a sister who can't stop trying to force her to date.
The prologue on this had me on edge but it did NOT go the way I thought it would, thankfully!
A lot to love in this one but this one also made me cry more than once.

I have been really enjoying this series so I picked this one up even though I usually don't like love triangles or amnesia. However, I'm glad I did!

I loved Sammy and her hero so much! He fell for her so hard and it was really cute. I also liked that this book was dual POV despite being a love triangle. It just switched to dual POV after we knew who the hero was (I was pretty sure the whole time but it was confirmed). One thing that melts my heart in a romance is a hero who bonds with the heroines kids and this book did that so well!

Cluelessly Yours also played with time in a really fun way! It started at the climax kinda like a TV show then went back to the beginning. I allowed the authors to play with suspense in a way romance can't usually pull off without adding a crazy ex or a serial killer.

Finally, this story is funny, has cute (but also hilariously misbehaving) children, and badass divorced mom figuring out life in NYC. I read the previous titles but this story could be read as a standalone. I do think reading Accidental Attachment first would improve the experience though! I am really hoping for more books in this series. I think Zoey could nanny in grad school and fall for a single dad. Just and idea 😊

Spice - 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Several open door scenes with some kisses and foreplay.
Narration - 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 - I listened to the audiobook version of Cluelessly Yours and adored it! Sebastian York who romance audiobook listeners may know from the knockemout series and Elizabeth Louise who listeners may know from icebreakers both did a fantastic job! I recommend this audiobook to everyone!

“Well there fucktacular!” - might be my new favorite line ever.

OK, I hate to admit it. But I’m pretty easy to please. Just give me some banter, a little bit of smut and some TV movie references are always great too.

But they freaking did it again! Max and Monroe are amazing. I knew the minute this book got released that I needed to get my hands on it. It is funny, heartwarming, and just makes you fall in love with all of the characters.

🙌🏻 Banter
😍♥️ Friends to lovers
😬 Love triangle
🏥 Hospital setting
🫶🏻 Found family
🗽 New York City
🩺 MMC Dr.

And so much more! I can relate to a book and love it more. When you bring some of my iconic favorite TV shows, movies, and books into the books.

And like they did in best, Frenemies, and ??? They referenced friends. And my heart was in love!

I will forever auto buy, and love these two authors and their books. Highly recommend if you need something funny, cute with a little bit of spice.

I love this book so much and this will be my review that I will be posting on Goodreads, StoryGraph and my Instagram. Instagram will be posted Friday the 12th the day before pub date.

The book was a rollercoaster!
Hilarious and has some twists!
I loved Sammys story, her and the boys needed all the luck and love since their move to New York.
I'm not really a fan of love triangles but there is a clear winner with these two.
As always with a Max Monroe book you can expect an amazing book and literal laugh out loud moments.
I'm so glad i got to read this book after reading Chase and Brookes story a few months ago!
I hope we see another story from this world too!

Max Monroe does it again!

Another hilarious standalone based in the same universe as Accidental Attachment and Best Frenemies (with special appearances from the previous leading ladies).

This time we have Sammy Baker, recently divorced and now single mom of two boys, who swore off men only to find herself in the middle of a love triangle. Thinking the universe couldn’t possibly throw more at her, she wakes up from a coma next to the unconscious man she fell in love with while a pregnant woman sits next to him holding his hand.

The chemistry between our main couple was great and the banter was witty and playful. The pacing was a little quick this time around so I felt like the characters fell in love and moved forward in their relationship a little quickly for a single parent trope but overall I really enjoyed it. As a mom myself, Sammy’s character was very relatable.

Ratings:
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (would recommend)
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️ (mild)
Was it cute?: ❤️❤️ (lots of giggling)
Did I cry?: 💧 (eyes welled up)
Did I laugh? 😂😂😂 (laughed out loud)

Tropes:
• single mom
• friends to lovers
• he falls first
• love triangle
• older main characters

* includes lots of miscommunication

Other special appearances include: Dr. Cummings and Nurse Melody from Dr. OB and Dr. Shepard from Dr. ER.

Thank you NetGalley and Max Monroe LLC for this free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

OMG, this story! It's so fresh on the brain that I can't get the words out. We are warned of the unexpected surprises. And they didn't lie. Wowza. I'm still shocked by some of it. This is definitely a fun read that is a must-read. I enjoyed every bit of it. It definitely keeps you on your toes because you don't know what other twists will be revealed.

Sammy wakes up in the hospital to discover the man she loves is in the hospital bed next to hers…but his pregnant girlfriend is by his side.
We’re taken back 60 days earlier to single mom Sammy encountering two fantastic men. Gavin is an impressive and handsome business man who lavishes her with compliments and charm, and seems intent on dating her. Noah is a super hot and attentive doctor that she has known for awhile who seems to genuinely care for Sammy and her sons, but has never made a move.
As time moves forward, Sammy is not convinced either man can handle her particular brand of chaos with two wild sons, but one man proves to be there for Sammy when she really needs it. Just in time for her to fall in love, a major plot twist throws a wrench in Sammy’s life…like usual.
——————————————
Things I really loved about this book- I thought Noah and Sammy had amazing chemistry. It was clear from the beginning that he was the one for her. They seemed comfortable with each other, and that they actually liked being around each other. I liked that he let her take the lead and I liked that she felt safe with him. I was a big fan of the sequencing of the book. Part one Sammy. Part two Noah. Part three both. It is so enjoyable to read a book with characters around my age!

An issue I had was that the miscommunication trope was strong with this book. Lots of quick and easy things could have been cleared up with simply stopping and asking a question or two. Literally avoiding being hit by a cab for one.

The I love yous seemed a little rushed. I get that Noah has supposedly liked her for months and months, but for Sammy it was quick. I would have liked to see more family interaction between all of them kids and all before the I love yous.


All in all liked this one, but it’s more of a 3.5⭐️ rounded up for me.
