All the Feels: A Novel (Spoiler Alert, 2)

Following Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade returns with another utterly charming romantic comedy about a devil-may-care actorwho actually cares more than anyone knowsand the no-nonsense woman hired to keep him in line.

"An absolutely witty, swoon worthy behind the scenes romp! Delightful from beginning to end!"--Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin'

Alexander Woodroe has it all. Charm. Sex appeal. Wealth. Fame. A starring role as Cupid on TV’s biggest show, Gods of the Gates. But the showrunners have wrecked his character, he's dogged by old demons, and his post-show future remains uncertain. When all that reckless emotion explodes into a bar fight, the tabloids and public agree: his star is falling.

Enter Lauren Clegg, the former ER therapist hired to keep him in line. Compared to her previous work, watching over handsome but impulsive Alex shouldn’t be especially difficult. But the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to keep her professional remove and her heart intact, especially when she discovers the reasons behind his recklessness…not to mention his Cupid fanfiction habit.

When another scandal lands Alex in major hot water and costs Lauren her job, she’ll have to choose between protecting him and offering him what he really wants—her. But he’s determined to keep his improbably short, impossibly stubborn, and extremely endearing minder in his life any way he can. And on a road trip up the California coast together, he intends to show her exactly what a falling star will do to catch the woman he loves: anything at all.

Profoundly irked by the lack of pegging!

Overall enjoyable…more good than bad, I’d say.

Definitely some problematic elements, especially surrounding the intense focus on Lauren’s appearance that didn’t let up from page 1 right through to the end of the epilogue. I also found Alex a bit infantile for a 39-year old and I don’t know if that was the best way to show his ADHD. Being a “delightful asshole” came across more grating than endearing at times.

But otherwise, I enjoyed the crossover timeline from Spoiler Alert and how they interconnected. I really liked the slow burn of Alex & Lauren’s relationship, plus the extra tidbits of the fanfics and playing up the romantic tropes on their road trip.

Definitely enjoy Wren and Alex better than Spoiler Alert’s April and Marcus! I think everyone needs and Alex in their life! Again, very cute!

read most of this then DNF… another one where the couple is like pretty much confessed all feelings and are together . Why would I keep reading for the third act breakup?

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVED this book! I think it was a perfect follow up to Spoiler Alert - I giggled a lot, got a little teary eyed, and it really did give me...All the Feels.

Lauren is a burned out, ER therapist looking to take a vacation and relax. Enter her Jerk of a Cousin, Ron, who asks her to keep an eye on one of his acting stars who's always acting out. Enter Alex, handsome, impulsive, and living with ADHD.

I love that Lauren isn't conventionally pretty. She's short, apple shaped, and has a broken nose from working in the ER. I love that Alex fights strongly and aggressively for the people he loves, even when it gets him in trouble professionally.

This book had a lot of fun, sarcastic, dry humor and dialogue. I enjoyed the slow burn romance, but when they got going it was an inferno! Wonderful read.

I loved this book. The chemistry and banter between Lauren and Alex were astronomical, and I honestly could spend several more books just spending more time with them. It was so cute, and sweet, and I devoured this whole thing in under a day
