Unfortunately Yours (A Vine Mess, #2)
by
by
"I've been through Hell Week, injuries, training that nearly killed me, giving myself stitches without so much as an Advil. And none of it, Natalie is worse physical torture than being away from you."
✔️ Dislike to love
✔️ Marriage of convenience
✔️ He's a war veteran
✔️ He falls first
✔️ Witty banter
✔️ Juicy smut
This book was exactly what I needed. It was perfectly balanced- had a good plot, the characters were nice, swoon worthy and spicy romance. Also, far better than Secretly Yours (tho I still claim Julian).
August and Natalie bring such life to the book. The chemistry and the heat is off the charts. Both of them are likable and confident in their ways. The yearning that they present for each other is chef's kiss 🤌
The spice is so so hot 🥵 Guys, also that flash flood scene 👀🥵💦
Like Julian, August also knows exactly how to turn things up and you won't be disappointed. Mans is head over heels for her. Tho I still prefer Julian. I liked Natalie far better than Hallie. While Hallie was a bit annoying at times, Natalie is someone easy to like and understand. Tho she has a tendency to jump to conclusions without thinking.
One thing I really appreciated about this book and their romance is the fact that they don't keep their feelings locked up and they communicate when the time is right, giving each other the required space and respect to express. THIS 🤌🤌🤌
Things do seem a bit slow in the first half but it picked up fairly quickly after the wedding.
Overall, enjoyed it. Recommend it.
Tessa Bailey is back in the game.

Finally my copy arrived. I really hope this is better than Secretly Yours but let's wait and see 🤞
