Thank you NetGalley, Leanne Treese and Moxie Publishing, LLC for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.
ADORABLE!! What a sweet and wholesome rom-com that will pull at your heartstrings!!! It has your frenemies to lovers, slow burn and opposites attract tropes and is filled with hilarious banter, close proximity, amazing chemistry, closed door romance, dual POV and wonderful secondary characters!! Once I started reading I could not stop and finished it in a day. This is my first read by Leanne Treese and it will not be my last! The author has done such an incredible job with creating characters that are so real and relatable that you can't help but root for them. I absolutely loved this book so much!!! 💜💜💜💜
Rebecca Chapman has never felt appreciated by her ultra professional family. She decides to try out for a new reality singing show and prove to everyone that she can make it in the music world. If only she can be chosen by the network! The only problem, you have to be able to play an instrument for the audition and Rebecca has no clue how to play a single thing. Turns out the answer to her dilemma is Ian Ledger, her extremely annoying coworker, who just happens to be an amazing guitar player. Ian is willing to teach her, but there's a catch. He want to win back his girlfriend at his sister's wedding. So they strike a deal! Rebecca agrees to give him fun sessions and he agrees to teach her to play guitar. Perfect solution to their problems, right?
I absolutely loved Rebecca's free spirit and her determination to follow her dreams. I equally loved Ian's introverted self and how his adventurous side manifested around her. I lost track of the amount of times I found myself giggling at their fun lessons.🤣😂
Overall, it is a fun, cute and clean rom-com with a HEA. I do recommend and I can't wait to read more books by this author!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fun, quick read. It was fun watching the characters grow from friends to more.

This was one of the cutest romcoms I've read in a long time. I found myself actually laughing at loud at some points. I also really loved that this contained characters who felt realistic and were dealing with real life circumstances. The characters were well thought out, complex, and likable. I recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, as well as goofy/cute humor.
While this is the first book I've read by this author, Leanne Treese is probably going to become an auto-buy romance author for me. I loved this book so much-I cannot wait to read other books from her.
Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Very cute romance right here. The idea is so fun and i love how the characters bring out each others best side, and fall for who they really are. Theres lots of banter, and the slowburn... chefs kiss. Really fun read, totally recommend!

Super cute and clean read (a fade to black scene and some kissing).
Rebecca is auditioning for a musical show and has one problem..... She needs to ALSO play an instrument and well, she doesn't.
Ian is thrust into her orbit at work and living next door for the time he's here. He's here for only a few weeks but they become "enemies". But he also wants to help Rebecca because he can teach her guitar. She agrees but only in exchange for giving him "fun" lessons to fully win back the girl he's "on a break from".
I like the relationship these two build . I love how supportive Ian becomes, especially as Rebecca's family isn't supportive, in her musical ambitions.
There is a scene at a nude beach that had me laughing and surprised (once again, a clean book so done tastefully). One of the best parts of this book is the way the handling of transgenders and dyslexia are approached.

This book was kind of slow and not in a fun way, at least for me. I thought that they were cute together but I just wanted more from them. I'm sure this book has its audience though.
I received an arc through netgalley.

No spice
I lost count of how many times I laughed reading this book. The characters are charismatic and easily hook you into the story.
I loved Ian, and I identified with him a lot. Rebecca is incredible, and I loved seeing her chasing her dream, even without the support of her family. Watching Ian complete the fun lessons was hilarious, especially the mystery bus one.
I had a nice time reading this book, and I highly recommend it.
