3/5

When Rosie and her sister go for a spa day, the last thing she expects is to be trapped in a float pod and to make a connection with the firefighter who rescues her. This is a very short story that just focuses on these two characters meeting. I found Rosie a little annoying, but I think it's hard to get a lot of personality into such a short story.

It is free if you have amazon prime, but it's so short I wouldn't recommend it otherwise.

Interesting meet cute.

A highly-charged love story that will keep you reading till you reach the end.

The chemistry between main characters was fantastic. The banter was funny. Snarky and breezy writing. It was not as perfect as Better than the Movies, but it was a good rom-com 😄

My parents and I visited my sisters family in Dresden over the #Easter weekend. I bought Happily Never After, my fourth Painter book, at the big Thalia store close to the Old Town. Unfortunately, I really prefer her YA novels. The younger characters just fit her writing better.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

My 2nd Painter novel, & unfortunately, her books aren‘t for me. I struggled w/ the lack of chemistry between the characters. I didn‘t feel their connection at all. While the plot could have made for some great moments (Sophie & Max are “professional” objectors at weddings), this played a minimal role in the book & the majority is spent w/ them ignoring their feelings or Sophie trying to rationalize falling in love as being something else.

This was a pretty, sweetly romantic read. I especially liked how the MCs got to know one another a little more slowly and were (almost) always honest and upfront with each other. No miscommunication trope! I thought the way their respective talents and creativity inspired the other and worked together was lovely, and the denouement was satisfying. A good addition to this series!
