If you couldn’t tell I absolutely adored this story. Every moment spent in this world was heartwarming and wonderful.

Charming and adorable, a must read friends to more romance!

This story was absolutely fabulous! Friends to more is a tricky trope sometimes to convince the reader the main characters have a valid reason to not go for it. I feel like Anneka Walker knocked it out of the park with the motivations for both Miles and Jemma and I was both hooked and invested from start to finish.

There were so many elements and moments to just simply LOVE in this story. From the dynamic between Miles and Jemma, to the rest of the Rebel and matchmaking mamas cast, the characters stole my heart and I wanted to be their real-life friend. I really enjoyed the way this book balanced depth, humor, and swoony romance. It had some surprises I did not see coming that made me just squeal in delight and excitement. I also appreciated some top-notch banter and witty one-liners in this book. Miles had an unexpected humor and wit about him I absolutely loved for the character of a Regency vicar.

James Joseph was an incredible narrator and nailed it with his performance of Miles. I could listen to him all day. I also felt like Mary Jane Wells was good with Jemma’s perspective and the two went well together for this dual POV romance. I’ll definitely be listening to this again. I recommend this audiobook.

Adorable and Fun

I loved this book so much. It was sweet and so funny. The characters were great. I will definitely listen to the rest of the series and keep this one in mind for a repeat.

Absolutely delightful!

The narration was honestly some of THE BEST I have ever heard! I couldn't stop listening! They did a fantastic job! And the storyline was clever, funny, and charming. An adorable listen that I have already told many friends about!

Sooo slow

Nothing happens, a bit of a bore, it took an exercise in patience to finish it.
