Never Planned on You was an easy and very sweet read! There were times when I wanted to grab both Graham and Ali and shake them, which is how you know the slow burn was slow-burning! The combination of their second chance romance and their undeniable tension and chemistry made for a great and super enjoyable read.
I’m always a fan of when the FMC is a wedding planner, and I loved how Ali also had the connection to cooking! I loved Till There Was You, Lindsay Hameroff’s first book, and I loved the connections to that book and those characters here. It’s a very sweet world- pun intended!- and I was happy to come back and read more about it.
I especially was grateful for the character of Claire, who made the difference for me in this book, as well as the wonderful family dynamic that Ali has. The cast of characters in this book really filled out the world nicely for me and it was the perfect balance of romance and friendship.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: Enter the Villa by Anna Peele
Publication Date: May 19, 2026 As a longtime Love Island fan, Enter the Villa was fascinating. Hearing from production about the stereotypes of various characters on the show, how the show morphed over time, and how the show became the mega popular force it is today was incredibly interesting. It truly was a look behind…
