I was laughing SO hard at the first chapter Poor Alyssa!

I loved this one so, so much! After reading the earlier books in the series, I couldn’t wait to finally get Alyssa and Austin’s story, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint

Watching Austin slowly realize his feelings for Alyssa was one of my favorite parts He was the BIGGEST green flag, and the way he cared for her was just so incredibly sweet. I absolutely adored him!

And Alyssa!! I loved her personality so much and her outfits were always amazing!!  She had me laughing from the very beginning, and she has easily become one of my favorite characters in the series

Their relationship gave me ALL the feels. I loved watching their friendship turn into something more, especially after getting little glimpses of them throughout the previous books. There’s something extra satisfying about finally getting the story you’ve been waiting for and having it live up to the anticipation

Honestly, I just loved everything about this book. The humor, the characters, the romance, the friendships, ALL OF IT Such an amazing addition to the series!

BLURB: I hit it out of the park in the friend department. The dating department? Not so much.

After a series of horrible first dates, I’m convinced it’s time to give up on my search for love. But when my best friends convince me to try out a list of twenty questions to fall in love, I decide to give it a shot.

I go on a date and test out the questionnaire, but it seems the only answers I get are the ones leading me back to my friend, Austin Bradford, who also happens to be the star shortstop for the Louisville Mustangs.

Despite all my desperate attempts to convince my best friends otherwise, I’ve had feelings for Austin since we met three years ago. Which also happened to be the same night he friendzoned me.

When I have to attend my cousin’s destination wedding—who, might I add, is marrying my jerk of an ex-boyfriend—Austin insists on going with me. I tell myself it will be fine, just a friendly vacation. Maybe I can even bury all my feelings for him on the beach.

Except, the time I spend with Austin has me questioning if the heated looks he’s sending my way are real, or if the Caribbean sun is making me hallucinate.

I wish he would give me a clear sign, because I refuse to put my heart on the line and risk our friendship without knowing if our love story will be a grand slam or a strikeout.

OVERVIEW: Firefighters are supposed to be the ones putting out fires, not causing sparks.

I thought I stifled everything I felt for Connor Porter over a decade ago. But now he’s back home, and I’m hit with those old feelings again, stronger than a firehose to the face.

Feelings I most certainly should not be having for my best friend’s older brother.

I’m trying to push all thoughts of Connor aside and focus on opening a flower truck when his sister persuades him to help me get my business off the ground.

Now, I’m spending more time with my childhood crush than can be considered healthy. And it’s difficult to get him out of my mind when I’m constantly being distracted by his muscular arms and thinking about how they feel when they’re wrapped around me.

My attraction to him grows into a roaring inferno, but I don’t think Connor’s ever seen me as anything other than his little sister’s friend. I need to extinguish these feelings before I’m in too deep.

It’s like that old saying goes: if I keep playing with fire, I’m bound to get burned.

I’m Only Me When I’m With Him is a best friend’s brother, grumpy/sunshine romcom with sizzling chemistry but no explicit content. It’s the third book in the Sweeter Than Fiction series, following four best friends finding love.

OVERVIEW: A fake dating contract with the man who took me on the best date of my life and then ghosted me…what could possibly go wrong?

I’ve spent the past three years trying to forget Griffin Reynolds. But that’s become impossible to do when his infuriatingly handsome face starts popping up everywhere.

After a coffee shop mishap, I find myself in the arms of Hollywood’s hottest new actor. Now, my face is next to his on every tabloid, and his agent suggests a fake relationship to keep the publicity going since he’s up for his dream movie role.

I’d love nothing more than to tell Griffin where he can shove his money. But I’d be a fool to refuse the salary he’s offering me to post a few pictures on social media. It doesn’t give me back the last few years of my life, but at least he’ll be paying me back in some way for the damage he did when he disappeared without a trace.

I do my best to maintain my stone-cold demeanor on our dates. But Griffin must be as great of an actor as everyone makes him out to be with his love-sick looks and lingering touches.

At least, that’s what I have to believe. Because the alternative is that Griffin has real feelings for me…and I refuse to let him hurt me a second time.

How He Got the Girl is a fake dating, celebrity romcom with sizzling chemistry but no explicit content. It’s the second book in the Sweeter Than Fiction series, following four best friends finding love.

MY REVIEW: This was my first book by Amanda Schimmoeller and let me tell you I am ready to binge all of her books after reading this masterpiece! I was hooked on this book from chapter 1. I literally love this book so so much! The characters are so lovable!
It is full of witty and flirty banter, so much tension, and plenty of chemistry!
I was seriously laughing out loud by the end of chapter 4! It was actually impossible to put this book down and now I CANNOT wait for more in the series to come out!!!

I cannot recommend this book enough!! Trust me and do your self a favor by picking up this book for your next read!

OVERVIEW: I’ve never needed help from anyone. I certainly don’t need it from the infuriating doctor next door.

I loathe my uncivil neighbor and the loud music he blares before the sun has risen. Even the dogs I walk—for one of my four jobs—despise him.

I’d be happy never seeing him again. But when he becomes his niece’s guardian for a few months and is in desperate need of a nanny, I begrudgingly accept the position.

How can I refuse when the salary he offers will allow me to open my dog rescue? It’s a win-win. Or a lose-win, depending on how you look at it. I mean, I still have to be around Tyler, and I would never consider that winning.

But the more time I spend with him, my cold indifference is melting away. And the way he’s starting to look at me feels more molten than icy.

I knew that Tyler was trouble from the moment I met him, but now I think I might be the one in trouble…of losing my heart.

I Knew He Was Trouble is an enemies to lovers, next-door-neighbor romcom with sizzling chemistry but no explicit content. It’s the first book in the Sweeter Than Fiction series, following four best friends finding love.
