Synopsis:

One kiss is all they need to go from friends to lovers. Who will cross the line first?
Maddie regrets putting Connor in the friendzone by kissing another man. Her chance at redemption comes when she's hired as a makeup artist on a film in London, Connor's city. All she needs to do is apologize, and coax him across the friendship line--if Connor still wants her.
Connor should've moved on from Maddie when she made it clear she wasn't interested in a relationship with a stuffy British banker. With her arrival in London, Connor plans to make the most of his second chance. But his secrets will either win her heart or drive her back across the Atlantic for good.

Review:

First off I love the cover and the clever title. So cute! I have never been to London and with the amazing descriptions it felt like you were exploring London too. It is a standalone novel but you have met Maddie and Connor before if you've read 12 Days to Love and I love that their story continued. Maddie got a job on a movie in London and was excited to spend time with her friend Connor. I love Connor! Everything he did and planned for Maddie was so sweet. I loved the characters, the writing was fabulous and the chemistry was oooo la la! I was so bummed towards the end but I am so happy about how it ended. I know I've said it before but I love books about friends becoming lovers. Such a cute book!

Allie Carmichael is dating the wrong kind of man. To help Allie out of her dating rut, Allie's sister, Cassie, challenges her to date 26 new men, all that have 26 different careers- one for every letter of the alphabet.
When Eric's neighbor, Allie,  asks him for help with her new dating challenge, he's reluctant to get involved. Mostly because he'd really like Allie to fall in love with him. She's determined to finish out her dating challenge, but he's a veterinarian. And V is at the end of the alphabet.
Can Eric persuade Allie to abandon the list and see him as something more than just her best friend?

Review:

This was such a sweet novella. Allie is challenged to spice up her dating life by dating guys with 26  different careers. I loved the idea of that but man that would be tough to accomplish. Allie's friend/ neighbor helps her find dates for the first few but, oh boy, they were gems... all because his feelings for her was more than friends. I love stories about friends becoming lovers! Their story was so cute and I loved how they treated each other. It was very well written and made me excited for more books by this new author.
