Book Review – Once Smitten Twice Shy

Book Review – Once Smitten Twice Shy

✨ Fake Dating
✨ Friends to lovers
✨ Disability Rep
✨ Big Families
✨ “Brothers” best friend

This was SO DAMN CUTE! I read this one in just a few hours and when I say I devoured it, I consumed it in one bite. This is a standalone in a series, I haven’t read the other two and didn’t feel lost with the supporting characters. I adored the fake dating trope, with a little spin, and I think this played out perfectly. The tension, the openness, the slow burn, it was all just so good. Pulled me out of my reading slump for sure.

Thank you to NetGalley & Berkley Romance for letting me read this one early! This one comes out January 14, 2025 and you can pre-order it here!
