I received a copy if this title to read & review for Wicked Reads 
 Heidi Cullinan writes pure, guilty pleasure romance with an entertaining voice. I was gripped from the get-go, devouring the story until it waned around the 40% mark. 
 This series is perfect for lovers of the warm & fuzzies. Sweetness overload that was a bit too much for this more serious, reality-driven reader. The characters were sweet, both miscommunicating. Neither resolving their issues, and this was the major conflict. 
 The romance lover will fall for the endearments of sweety, hun, babe, baby, sweetheart flung around at random from all of the characters, but for those with a pet peeve, it's hard to tolerate. 
 The dialogue gives the "feels", but it didn't sound remotely like teenaged boys, or grown men for that matter. sometimes a bit like a grandmother giving advice with the sweeties and huns, especially by returning characters, Walter & Kelly. Which became off-putting during a sex scene. For characters who are so unsure, they seem to give a lot of advice that would solve all their own problems & end the story. 
 There are a ton of in-depth scenes featuring music: orchestra & vocal, showing the author's knowledge, but it slowed the pacing and was tedious, to the point, I confess, I had to skim. This was around the time I knew they would eventually couple up & was ready to read the HEA. 
 While I enjoyed the characters & story, I don't believe I am the target audience for this series. I become disinterested quickly, finding it drawn-out & wishing for a novella instead. 
 Romance lovers will fall fast, feel giddy, and get the feels for Ms.Cullinan's writing style. A good segue for m/f readers looking to expand to m/m, since it follows the same tropes & reads like m\f saccharine romance. 
 I'll try the third in the series, as I was offered to review, but only after I read something more gritty & evocative.
