I love the story between these characters and how it played out. It kept me interested from the beginning. Sammy is a divorced mom with two rambunctious children in everyday life that entails being a single parent. She meets two men that she gets to form relationships with, and they start to progress. She has to choose between the two, However, through their journey, it's easy for her to decide which one is ultimately the best suited for her. It makes very, really swoon worthy read!

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.

This book was amazing! I switched back and forth between reading and listening to the audiobook because I had to find out what happens. This book may be romance, but it had some twists and turns as well!
I loved Sammy Baker, and I connected with her so much as a mom of 2. Her character was so real and genuine as well as the references to her body type - which I really appreciated when so many books refer to petite and tiny female characters.
Noah may be my new favorite book boyfriend and it doesn't hurt that he has the cutest sidekick, Dolly. I love how he aims to be in Sammy and her boys' lives and wants to help out any way he can.
I loved everything about this book!! The audio is great as well!
This book releases on January 13! Thank you @netgalley @authormaxmonroe and @rick_283 for the copy of this amazing book!

I loved Accidental Attachment so I couldn't wait for the follow up book Cluelessly Yours. I was lucky enough to listen to this one and I can't tell you how much I laughed throughout this audiobook. It was such a fun one to listen to. The storyline was sweet with a hint of intrigue as we follow a divorced, single mother finding her happy ever after, only to wake up from a coma to find a very pregnant woman sitting at her man's bedside. If you like your rom com's with a lot more com, then you need to make sure you get your hands on a copy of this one.

I’ve come to LOVE this writing duo. Their authors note in the beginning is like their hilarious trademark. I love it.

If you’re looking for closed door romcom, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙞𝙣'𝙩 𝙞𝙩. Max Monroe can write the heck out of a spicy scene without being smut or entering into cringe territory.

The characters are well written and expertly defined. Don’t even get me started on the chemistry ⚛️. I mean 🥵.

I loved how we started the story and then circled back from point A to point B. Like that ooooooh now it all makes sense moment was so satisfying.

I loved Noah and Sammy. I loved to hate some other unmentionable characters. The friendships were so much fun and heartwarming and the sisterly love and banter was a blast too.

Body autonomy scenes in books are sorta iffy for me. Sometimes it seems like doing too much to try to make a point but body autonomy is so important and Max Monroe drives that point home in such a seamless way that you’re enraged as if you’re one of the characters and it doesn’t distract from the overall story (like when some authors try to put a relevant issue in a book and the record stops like why is that there 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️), in fact it enhances it. Trust me on this. Well done. This particular scene is something most of us have experienced in some way so get ready to be like “oh hell naw” with me.

Anyways…if you want love, spice and laughter look no further!!!! I love it extra because Noah reminds me of my husband lol.

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)! If you really want to feel like you are among the living breathing characters and feel their angst, humor and passion in real time then I highly, highly recommend that you listen to the audiobook version. Dual narration really brings the characters alive to make the story even more vibrant and vivid!

3.5 ⭐️ 2🌶️ 4🎧

- Love Triangle
- Single Mom
- Middled Aged MCs


I don’t know if there is anyone who is better described as a hot mess than Sammy, single mom to two rambunctious boys who works full time at a high end restaurant in NYC. So when she finds herself caught between two charming and successful men, she really doesn’t know what to do. Throw in a meddling sister and enough hospital visits to meet any deductible and we have a recipe for chaos.

It took me a little bit to warm up to this book. There were times when I felt like Sammy was a bit too much of a mess for me to really enjoy, maybe I found her TOO relatable in that sense. But once the anxiety over the love triangle was resolved (it did not take until the 3rd act) things really started to pick up and become a more enjoyable sort of chaos.

The set up of this book was great in how it started off just from Sammy’s POV and then near the middle it switched to dual POV. I just loved seeing her from his perspective.

This was my first Max Monroe book so I’m definitely going to go back and read Brooke’s book. I just loved her and her fiance and I want to see their romance from the start.

The narrators for this book were awesome. I love Sebastian York and will listen to anything he does. Elizabeth Louise was great as Sammy and really conveyed her emotions well.

This was a fun dual POV, love triangle (ish) romance featuring a divorced single mom in her 40s who gets a second chance at love and has to decide between a businessman and a hot doctor who are both interested in her. I definitely recommend reading Accidental attachment and Best frenemies before this one since there is a lot of overlap, especially between the characters from Accidental attachment as the FMC in this book is sister's with the lead in that one and she plays a major part of the plot in this book. Great on audio narrated by Sebastian York and Elizabeth Louise. Many thanks to NetGalley and the authors for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

This story was absolutely amazing, filled with characters that quickly find a place in your heart. But what truly struck a chord with me was how the Max Monroe writing duo fearlessly depicted the struggles of a single mother with such raw honesty. I couldn't help but nod in agreement throughout the entire story. Yes, parenthood is messy and often overwhelming, but it's also incredibly rewarding. The authors captured this perfectly, giving the story warmth and authenticity while never forgetting the swoon factor that entails a romance.

Sammy and Noah’s love story is beautiful. Even their mutual pining was adorable. And the best part was that Noah understood Sammy’s cautious nature. Noah's patience and genuine effort to bond with Sammy's children made him more endearing to me. Noah just had a soothing presence throughout the novel that was impossible to miss.

As for the narration, it was fantastic. Sebastian York's velvety voice is like silk to the ears, while Elizabeth Louise did an incredible job bringing our resilient fmc to life. The dual narration perfectly complemented the story. The pacing was spot-on, keeping me fully engaged.

Overall, this was a charming and heartwarming story, a great choice for romance lovers who enjoy themes such as single parenting and friends-to-lovers.

Quick Summary: A love is found, wo-fi romance

My Review: Cluelessly Yours by Max Monroe was such a fantastic read. It was sweet. It was funny. It was entirely realistic, in terms of knowing how to and how not to navigate a relationship. It was golden.

About the Book: Sammy Baker is in an interesting season of life. She is a divorced, single parent mom who works hard, takes care of her boys, loves her sister, and longs for more. She finds herself in a strange and unusual dilemma - she just so happens to be caught up in an unwanted love triangle.

Question to Consider: Why is it that when it comes to love and relationships, that which should be obvious seems so unclear?

My Final Say: I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The listening experience was incredibly entertaining. I loved Sammy. I loved Dr. Noah. I adored the kids. I tolerated the other guy, until I didn't. The presented situations were entirely believable. There was a lot of food for thought in this one. Max Monroe crushed it.

Other: Readers who enjoy stories about experiencing life and love after divorce and/or stories about building a forever family will appreciate this novel.

Sincere appreciation is extended to the author/publisher, to the narrators, and to NetGalley. Thank you for granting access to this title in exchange for an honest review. The words I have shared are my own. Not only did I enjoy this novel, but I also enjoyed Best Frenemies. The lessons, the laughter, and the love revealed in both books have been memorable. I look forward to reading more Max Monroe novels in the future.

Sammy's life is pretty chaotic, and men are the last thing on her mind. She finds herself the object of two men's attention, and she just isn't sure what to do with that. Dates with both men happen almost accidentally around the craziness with her sons. Both men seem so nice, so what should Sammy do?
I liked that Sammy was willing to listen to her gut. She did pay attention to her instincts, but she did way too much apologizing. I wasn't loving the triangle aspect when it seemed like it would go on too long, but then things happened quickly and made more sense to me. Then there was a whole nother plot twist that I did not see coming. When I was finished, I was satisfied with the story.
I listened to this as an audiobook, and I enjoyed the narrators. Sebastian York did his usual fantastic job. Elizabeth Louise was new to me, and I particularly enjoyed the way she did Sammy's boys.

Max Monroe takes awkward and uncomfortable and normalized it. Then they take it and make it an adorable romance that makes you giddy and believe there is a lot of good in this world, and good things happen to good people.

Title: A Hilarious and Heartwarming Audiobook Experience!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review:

Cluelessly Yours by Max Monroe, narrated by Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York, is an absolute gem of an audiobook! From start to finish, I was completely captivated by the story of Sammy Baker, a divorced single mom trying to navigate the complexities of love and life.

The blurb perfectly sets the stage for the delightful chaos that ensues in Sammy's life. With two boys and an absent ex-husband, Sammy has her hands full. But amidst it all, she dares to dream of finding love again. Little did she know that her journey would lead her right into the center of a love triangle involving two intriguing men.

The banter between the characters is pure gold. Max Monroe's writing is filled with witty and hilarious dialogue that had me laughing out loud throughout the entire audiobook. The chemistry between Sammy and the two love interests is palpable, and the friends-to-lovers trope adds an extra layer of excitement and anticipation.

The setting of the story in a hospital adds an interesting twist, giving readers a glimpse into the fast-paced and unpredictable world of doctors and nurses. The authors skillfully incorporate the hospital setting into the narrative, creating a unique backdrop for the unfolding love story.

One of the aspects I loved most about Cluelessly Yours is the theme of found family. The supporting characters are incredibly endearing, and their relationships with Sammy and her boys add depth and warmth to the story. It's heartwarming to witness how they come together and support each other through thick and thin.

As a mother myself, I found this audiobook to be highly relatable. Sammy's struggles, joys, and triumphs resonated deeply with me. Max and Monroe have a remarkable ability to portray the rollercoaster of emotions that come with motherhood, and they do it with humor and authenticity.

Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York's narration is top-notch. They bring the characters to life with their expressive performances, infusing the audiobook with even more charm and personality. Their voices perfectly complement the story, making it a joy to listen to.

In conclusion, Cluelessly Yours is an absolute must-listen for fans of romantic comedies. Max Monroe's storytelling talent shines through, and their ability to create lovable and relatable characters is unmatched. If you're in the mood for a hilarious and heartwarming audiobook that will make you fall in love with the characters, then look no further. Cluelessly Yours is the perfect choice!

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!

Binged. This is such a bingable audiobook. The narrators were so great, the book was hilarious, but so much more.

I loved Sammy! Noah made me swoon so much! I loved their chemistry. I loved how amazing Noah was with her kids! I loved the plot twists and all the characters! It was just such an enjoyable read!

This story has it all romance, humor and drama and kept me hooked from the first minute to the last.
The chemistry between the main characters Sammy and Noah pulled me into the story and had me rooting for them from the start of the book. The authors have a knack for creating characters that feel real and Sammy and Noah are no exception. Everything from their banter and the tension to the sweet moments made me fall for them as they fall for each other,

I also loved the reappearance of Sammy's sister and boyfriend. Their addition feels like catching up with old friends. Plus, Sammy's sister adds a delightful dynamic to the story, and I found myself grinning at their interactions. I think anyone with a sister will be able to relate to their realistic sisterly bond.

The Narrator pairing of Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York is a treat! These two never disappoint, and their voices bring the characters to life in a way that enhances the storytelling.

"Cluelessly Yours" is a fantastic addition to Max Monroe's rom-com lineup. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review it Netgally and Max Monroe

4.5/5
I have loved the other books by Max Monroe so I was really looking forward to this one!!n Sammy moved to NYC with her son and her sister keeps trying to set her up with an anesthesiologist, Noah. Noah is handsome and seems to be a great guy, but after many run ins, Sammy assumes he is a player just because each time he seems to be with a different girl. The other guy she is interested in seems to be perfect and all interested in her but when he doesn't get what he wants, he acts like a child. There is quite a bit of drama with Sammy's two boys, but she handles it well and Noah steps up and really shows her that he cares by helping and letting her know that he is aware they are a priority. Cluelessly Yours had lots of interested twists and plenty of miscommunication. I really enjoyed it and I am hoping that there is a love story for Noah's female doctor friend! She deserves better than what she was given. There is some spice, but not too much and it was just a great story!

Thanks for the ARC book!

This was such a great listen! I already love Sebastian York but I have never listened to Elizabeth Louise before, and she is the best female narrator I’ve ever listened to. This was also my first read of anything from Max Monroe, and I can’t wait to read the next one by them!

Sammy is a worthy fmc. A full time working mom that went through a not-so-great divorce and uprooted her life to be near her sister. She is apprehensive about getting back into the dating scene and like most moms I know, she puts herself second and feels guilty when she can’t be everywhere at once., but love was really looking for her in her 40’s!

Noah, the mmc, shot straight to the top of my list of book boyfriends (only coming in second to Daniel from Abby Jimenez “Part of Your World”). He is kind, patient, gentle, and sexy AF. He is always there for Sammy and her family before she even really realizes it.

There were some great twist and turns in this book and it serves as a great reminder that making assumptions can impact our lives in ways that aren’t necessary and that listening to your gut is so important.

Fun, easy listen with a little bit of spice!

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!
