Romance in a Weekend
This is a short story about two characters who’ve had a thing for each other for a long time, coming together while grieving for a sister/best friend. I found the storyline enjoyable but not very deep. I would have liked to read more about the potential band (as I thought that was unique), and thought that Tyler was a little too perfect (he needed a fault or two). Lauren resolved all her problems rather quickly and predictably, but it was well edited which I appreciate.
Awesome
Another great summer reading!

Nice story
Well told short tale. Often novellas stop at some point to drag you into buying the next book, but this one tells a complete story. Writing is good.
Perfect for a relaxing afternoon/night
Lovely, cozy read. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon/night. A wonderful way to start this series!
Soft story coping with grief and fighting for own happiness
This is a great novella that packs a lot of emotion in only a few hours reading. Tyler and Lauren are dealing with grief after her sister is killed in action and story takes place over the weekend as Lauren is packing Brandy’s things. Around the sadness of loss Tyler and Lauren use humor as a coping mechanism and Lauren finds strength to fight for herself and what she wants - including a relationship with Tyler.
Content warnings: on page sex, MC with history of (recent) manipulative ex and coping with aftermath, MC whose parents had manipulative history, central arc of grief, some misogynistic comments from side character.
