Thank you NetGalley and Forever for the e-ARC.

The Proposal by Sonora Reyes is an adult MxM romance which immediately got me hooked. I expected a rom-com but it was heavier than I expected.

The slow-burn was painful and made sense in their situation. The MC's go through rough things which impacted their actions.

There were heavy themes themes in the book, but their friendship and romance was the best. They became each other's support system which I loved.

Im hoping on snagging a copy at release date!

Was sent this book and immediately dove in. This seemed like exactly what I was in the mood for. It ended up being a little heavier than I expected, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

I love a friends to lovers romance and the way these two were so oblivious had me wanting to shout at my Kindle. But it was understandable as well, because they're each going through some really difficult things. Kenny is just barely getting out of and trying to come to terms with an abusive relationship, and she keeps coming back and trigger him. Han has just lost his job and with it, the chance at a green card, which is terrifying for him. So it makes sense that they both didn't immediately notice their feelings for each other.

The themes in this book were all on the heavier side, but the friendship, and later the romance, was so precious and felt so safe, because even before they started a relationship, they're all in with each other and they're each other's support system. I never had any doubts that these people belonged together, and I loved seeing them spend time together and grow even closer.
