Review: Once Smitten, Twice Shy by Chloe Liese



ONCE SMITTEN, TWICE SHY by Chloe Liese 

Star-crossed lovers learn that practicing romance leads to the perfect happy ending in this steamy reimagining of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.


Since heartbreak entered the scene, Juliet Wilmot, once a hopeless romantic, has sworn off love. But when she's presented with the chance to revisit romance-purely for practice-with the gorgeous, off-limits guy she keeps serendipitously running into, it feels like a sign from the universe.

Quiet, shy Will Orsino knows happily-ever-after isn't on his horizon. Problem is, for the sake of the family business, marriage is. Resigned to the inevitable, but with no confidence he can woo a wife, he can hardly say no when fate hands him the alluring, unattainable woman he keeps crossing paths with, offering to help him learn the ropes of romance.

Neither of them looking for love, Jules and Will agree they're the perfect pair to practice romance. Except that practicing to perfection leads to an irresistible attraction. Their once smitten hearts, though still twice shy, might have happily-ever-after written in the stars for them, after all.

CHRISTY'S REVIEW: 
With Juliet, I don’t feel self-conscious- I feel seen.

I have been looking forward to Juliet’s book since I read the first book in ‘The Wilmot Sisters’ series and adored it. Will and Juliet were couple goals; their romance was so swoony and left a huge smile on my face. 

Will and Juliet meet when she is traveling, and it’s a short meeting, but they hit it off. Fast forward months later, and she sees him again. He’s Christopher’s college friend. It’s serendipitous. They become fast friends and decide to help each other out. Will is shy, and Juliet has sworn off love for now. But with time, Will comes out of his shell with Juliet and she becomes a believer again. 

Watching two people able to be their truest selves with one another and seeing that love unfold… never gets old. Will and Juliet’s story was so romantic. I also loved seeing more from Bea and Jamie, as well as Kate and Christopher. This series was wonderful as a whole, and Chloe Liese writes such lovely and relatable characters. I highly recommend checking all of these books out!

Live + Review= Sweet Boys Love Christmas by Micalea Smeltzer!

 



Sweet Boys Love Christmas by Micalea Smeltzer is now live! 


When my Christmas plans go up in flames the last thing I expect is Luke Covey to sweep in and save the day. Spending the holiday with him and his mom might make this my favorite Christmas I've ever had.

Too bad for me there's one unexpected gift that's going to last long past the holiday season, because ready or not Luke and I are going to be parents.

(This is a 20k+ word novella that will lead into Bertie and Luke's full-length novel. It's not necessary to read this before reading their novel but it is highly recommended)

Christy's Review


Sweet Boys Love Christmas was a fantastic Christmas novella and a perfect precursor to Bertie and Luke's upcoming book (eek!)

Luke and Bertie are characters I remember fondly from Daire and Rosie's book. I was excited to get more of their story. I love a sweet boy and Luke is just that. This was such a heartwarming short story with those new adult feels I love. 

If you've read Micalea Smeltzer's 'The Boys' series, this is going to be a must read for you! And if you haven't, I still think you would enjoy this one. But you seriously should because the entire series is great!
