For Now (Star-Crossed City)

I want to start by saying I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book, so much that I pre-ordered it. This is book 3 of the Star-Crossed City Series. They are all linked standalone, focused on a different couple in each book. You can read them out of order, but I recommend reading For Always (book 1) and For Ever (book 2) first, since the couples from those books make appearances in this one, but it's not necessary. The MMC, Marco is patient, understanding, perceptive, romantic, and dreamy. Like I would totally add him to my Amazon cart. I love the way he notices Alice's change in moods and is attentive in the most caring way. He always makes Alice feel like the most important girl in the world and gives her is undivided attention. The FMC, Alice, is such a relatable character. She is self-conscious about her weight, hair, appearance, and all around personality, thanks to her narcissistic bully of a mom. But she is an absolute goddess with beautiful blonde curly hair, fair skin, a sweet personality, a knack for making a killer cup of tea, a kick ass wedding planner, and a hidden freak in the sheets. Sadly, for most of the story, she doesn't feel like she is worthy of love or good things. Ari did amazing in making a character relatable to so many women, which is sad, but makes me love Alice even more. If you love bodyguard romance, he falls first, couples that read together, lovers of all things tea, and so much more, then this book is for you. 10/10 recommend reading 📚
