The One That Got Away by Olivia Spring

Hello my book friends,

Today I am reviewing The One That Got Away by Olivia Spring. I like to mix in a rom com or romance between my mysteries and thrillers to add a bit of lightness to my reading.  If you want to read this book it’s on for .99 cents right now on Amazon. 

Brand new from the bestselling author of My Ten Year Crush

What if the one who got away is really the one?

When Stella finds herself back home with a string of disastrous dates under her belt, she's certain she’s hit rock bottom. Until she discovers her mother has signed her up to The Love Hotel: a luxury matchmaking service where a perfect love match is guaranteed! Stella is adamant she'll have nothing to do with this nonsense! But then a match is found faster than she can say 'Not. A. Chance!' So, how bad can two weeks in the scorching Spanish sunshine be?

Very bad, actually. Because when Stella arrives, she’s mortified to learn her date is no perfect stranger. In fact she knows him a little too well. Because Max is the childhood sweetheart who broke her heart, who her heart remembers and who is more gorgeous than ever.

With no refunds, Stella reluctantly decides to stay and enjoy the holiday - all she has to do is keep Max at an arm’s length...right? Easier said than done when Max is impossible to ignore. And as the Love Hotel begins to work its matchmaking magic, Stella can't deny that the sparks still sizzle between them. And maybe, the experts were right after all…

I dove into this book blind, drawn by the cover and title, expecting a lighthearted second-chance romance. What I got was a delightful surprise - a spicy, engaging story that exceeded expectations.

Stella and Max, both bullied into visiting the Love Hotel, embark on a journey of self-discovery and love. Their relatable struggles and witty banter made me invested in their stories. I rooted for both equally, eager to see them overcome past heartaches.

This romcom had me laughing out loud and cringing in embarrassment for the characters. The author's writing is effortless, making the absurdity of situations feel authentic.  Beyond the humor, the story delivers heartwarming moments and swoon-worthy scenes. The perfect blend of spice, romance, and comedy makes this book a must-read for fans of the genre.

If you're looking for a lighthearted, engaging romance with a dash of spice, this book is for you. With its relatable characters, witty dialogue, and heartfelt moments, it's a true page-turner.

I look forward to reading all Olivia’s future novels and highly recommend to all spicy romance loving friends.
