hello diverse romcoms! it is always a joy to see and i am beyond ecstatic to start my first alexa martin romcom! i’ve seen nothing but good things so far and its seeming like i will absolutely love it 💞🤞🏼

This was a fun read! I enjoyed that it was based around an MLM and thought it was written with honesty and humour. The author definitely nailed the "hun" vibe that members of these organizations tend to have. I enjoyed the main character and Luke was such a good romantic lead. The antagonists were also great and the end was so satisfying.

I tried really hard to finish this book all the way through, I got somewhere around the 65% mark and had to call it quits. This book annoyed me more than anything. I was excited for the premise of this story, but the execution wasn't for me. I think I especially hated it for how unlikeable I found the main character.

What a fun concept for a romance! When kindergarten teacher Emerson is wooed by false promises from a predatory MLM, she has no choice but to turn to the father of one of her students, an investigative journalist looking into the business. After a one-night-stand that ended in disaster, the pair get off to a rough start and have to overcome a lot before they can even be civil.

The way the MLM operated in this one, using all the jargon and tactics real-world MLMs use to prey on people, made my skin crawl. The author did a great job of capturing the dynamics of MLM 'friends' and the cultiness of this sort of business!

I loved the FMC, Emerson! She is a little dumb and naive, but she has such a good heart and a fun, bubbly personality.

While overall I really enjoyed this book and found the concept to be really fun and unique, I felt that it was missing a lot of the relationship development. There was evidence of it happening off-page, but I wish we could have seen more happy couple moments and more of the love story amidst the chaotic plot.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Berkley for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I am not an enemies-to-lovers in a contemporary romance setting girlie, so as soon as that dynamic was introduced and persisted, I checked out.

The characters meet for the very first time and speak practically 5 words to each other before proceeding to sleep together. this is a romance. I felt like that was such a missed opportunity for some flirty banter and even a small conversation to establish some chemistry.

I got to say I was a bit hesitant to read this book because reading the first chapter had me in a mix of feelings. Thankfully, I kept on reading because I knew this author always starts off better in the middle to the end. She likes to start off slow to build up the character and whoever is the love interest, which is a good thing, but it also sets me back.

And this book was such a fun, cutie romance read with a bit of, like, chaos energy. I truly enjoyed it throughout all the endless drama investigation. And don’t get me started on the spicy romance between the characters because that was unexpected yet delightful. Trust me, you are going to giggle and blush at the same time.
