This was another hit by Aurora Rose Reynolds!

Running Into Love tells the story of Fawn, who literally runs into Levi while running one day, only to discover that he is her new neighbor. Sparks fly right from the start! I'm not usually an insta-love person, but it works for these two. Add in crazy families on both sides, and you can't help but fall in love with them all!

Aurora Rose Reynolds knows how to write characters that you want to hang out with. The plot of the story was well-developed and paced. I can't wait to see what's next in the Fluke My Life series (maybe Wesley and Mac??)!!

This book was sweet and fun like you would expect from an ARR book. There was a ton of humor, a sexy cop, and a really freaking cool dog. Family that made you crazy but, you couldn't help but love them and the book left it open for several potential storylines in the future. What it wasn't was exciting. There was only a little bit of really excitement in this book. Don't get me wrong, it was a good book in general but, there was nothing about it that really stood out and made it memorable for me.

Running into Love is adorable, sweet, and fun. If you are looking for a light weekend read, its a perfect choice! The angst is low, the cute is high, and the romance is sweet!

Fawn is a teacher who hasn't had the best luck with men in the past. Levi is a detective who also has an ex who has made him a little cautious about love. But when Fawn literally runs into him and then turns out to be his neighbor, its kismet. Levi realizes quickly that Fawn doesn't see that he is interested. He keeps pushing her. Its super sweet that he isn't willing to just give up because she is clueless. Fawn has a crazy family that adds a lot of levity and humor to the story. Levi has an interesting family as well and when the two families combine, its great!

The story centers around the development of the relationship between Fawn and Levi and there isn't much external drama. Running into Love feels like a very believable love story that will just warm your heart!

Okay, so I may be a bit of a Aurora Rose Reynolds fan. Whenever I saw one of her Until Series come by, I just had to read them. Her alpha men can be a bit over the top, but I really enjoy them. So when I saw Running Into Love available on Netgalley, I just had to request it. And I was almost hyperventilating when I got my ARC granted. Hoorrah!
So, approximately 3 hours later...
I think Levi is my next favourite alpha male (just please don't tell my husband). He and Fawn literally bump into each other and there is an instant attraction between them. Clumsy Fawn however, is not interested in guys lately. After being screwed over by one to many men, she has decided to swear of men and just live happily ever after with Muffin, her oversized dog.
But after running into Levi, discovering he is her new neighbour and being arrested by the one and only while playing dress-up hooker with your sisters, she can't deny that she feels the attraction.
Levi, as the over-possessive man decides Fawn is the one for him, and basically moves in with her. As both their somewhat crazy families enter the mix, they encounter some hilarious situations and remarks.
A funny, delightful read, and I'm already looking out for part two (Stumbling into Love), where Fawn's sister Mac will be starring. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Fawn has given up on men... until she runs head first into her new neighbour... a conveniently hot, single NYPD detective. Fawn is not the most graceful (what with falling over her own feet and, you know, the whole running with her eyes closed) and a series of events that could only happen in a book or a romcom Levi learns that there is more to life than his job.

This book is filled with characters (in the extended families of both the hero and heroine) but the star of the show was Muffin the Irish wolfhound, Fawn's very entertaining rescue dog.

Can't wait to see where this series goes and who is featured in the next book

This book has both cursing (including f-bombs), and explicit on-screen sex. It is also written in the first person. If those things will cause you to leave a bad review, this might not be the book for you.

This story line is interesting and the writing is amusing. First person isn't usually my choice of POV but the story was interesting enough here that I didn't mind it. At times Levi was a little eye-roll-worthy-over-the-top with his random over-use of “baby” and his “alpha-ness” (for example - ordering for her and being all “I'm a man so I have to pay that's just how it is” I would have told him to beat feet if he pulled that “I'm a man I'm the boss” crap on me) but thankfully those moments were few and far between so for the most part he was incredibly likable. Fawn was all over the place, but I liked her humor and her “this is me take me or leave me” attitude. I really appreciated the epilogue in this one – it was nice to see those glimpses into the future.

I do have a HUGE issue with this book, however. WHY WAS FAWN RUNNING WITH HER EYES CLOSED AND FLAILING HER ARMS???? I kept waiting and waiting for the funny, interesting reason that she was flailing like a moron that day because it was the crux of their “meet cute” but nope, IT IS NEVER EXPLAINED. Even when Levi and Fawn talk about that moment later in the book, Levi never feels like he should ask her WHY she was acting like an idiot that day? Seriously? Ugh. Just UGH.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a quick, easy read with lots of steam and to anyone who doesn't mind not knowing what caused their meet cute that lead to the title of the book.

I requested and was generously granted an ARC of this book via NetGalley and the publisher. I was under no obligation to write this review.

I am a huge fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds, so I jumped at the chance to read Running Into Love!!! I can official say it was a fantastic as I hoped and I can another ARR series to my "must read list"!!

Starting a new series from an author I love is so always exciting and I knew from the very first chapter I would adore these characters!! Fawn and Levi had a hysterical introduction that had me literally laughing out loud!! Their next couple interaction weren't any less funny and from that point I was 100% hooked! In true Aurora Rose Reynolds fashion, Fawn and Levi has amazing chemistry that was off the charts and palpable! I love what she had in store for this couple which would explain why I was glued to my kindle the entire book!!! Running Into Love is a 4.5 star read that every romance novel fan needs to absolutely 1-click!! I loved all the supporting characters and I CANNOT wait to get their stories in future installments!

I was given an ARC by Netgalley and the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Like any other ARR book, this one was filled with family, fun and love.

The heroine, Fawn, is a quirky, independent, funny and insecure (to an extent) young woman who hasn't had luck in the dating world.

The hero, Levi, is an enforcer of the law, possessive and overall alpha, who, like Fawn, also hasn't had luck finding someone to have a relationship with.

The difference between them when it comes to dating is that Fawn has had a bad date after another, and Levi's job seems to be a deal breaker to women he meets.

The other characters really added up to the whole story with their 'in-your-face' personalities. I absolutely loved the dynamics of the familial relationships between everyone, although I could do without a character who seemed hellbent on provoking our heroine—without success, might I add.

The plot had the perfect mix between sexy and intriguing and sweet, something I've come to expect from ARR and definitely was not disappointed.

I can safely say I'm hooked enough on everyone, so much so I'm sure I'll re-read this one again sooner rather than later, and that I can't wait to know how the other characters' stories will unfold.

However—and don't let this keep you from the great book that this is—, I did think it was slightly predictable and a bit cheesy at parts, and that it could have been a bit more original, because the plot could be steered into several directions than the one it got.

My final rating is 4 stars, because I'm definitely going to want to read the following books.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for the chance to read the ARC!

I was looking forward to this book since I liked the Until series by Reynolds. However I couldn’t fall in love with this book.

Starts out with our main character Fawn running in NYC with her eyes closed (which was never explained), she runs into Levi who we find out is going to be a her new neighbor and this how our story starts.
I liked the characters. Fawn was relatable and Levi was a great alpha love interest. He was all in from the first meet. I feel like I missed the moment where he made that decision. Basically what was the moment where was like "Damn I want this girl"?

The book was funny and the secondary characters were great. It just felt a little bit too predictable and too perfect for my liking. Overall I liked it just not as much as I wished I did.

Oh my goodness this book was great! It had a little bit of everything in it. It had the perfect mix of sexy and sweet given to us by Fawn she is such an unassuming beauty with a huge heart, and then you have Levi the detective/neighbor with his wonderful combination of dominant behavior and swagger for days! I definitely recommend this book to anybody looking to (run into love) lol

This book was full of humor and cuteness. Fawn and Levi meet when she literally runs into him on her morning run. The dialogue between these characters was amusing and sweet. You find yourself rooting for them to be together. Their family interactions made you want to know more about this family. I read this entire book in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down!! This author has definitely written a winner!!

I received a copy of this book in exchange of a honest review via NetGalley.

This book is the epitome of cute romance, there is no drama or even any kind or serious conflict in it. It’s a pure, sweet love story.

I like Aurora Rose Reynolds writing style, it has a unique feel to it, one where even if the plot is not the most exciting it still fills you up with warm and fuzzy feelings and just engages your attention completely. It keeps you reading even when normally you wouldn’t. It’s easy to read, sweet and funny and I liked it quite a bit.
The plot is really simple and funny, not the most exciting one but it still immersed me completely. Honestly, it’s something I saw before but the execution of it is so brilliant that it didn’t bother me one bit. It’s the clean cut girl meets boy they fall in love and live happily ever after but you definitely won’t regret reading it. However it has a lot of truths about modern day dating and it was a nice touch to the story.

The book is narrated in dual point of views but mainly by Fawn. The main characters are really different from each other. There is Fawn, the quirky teacher, who is a little bit shy and a whole lot crazy. She does a lot of stupid things and her imagination runs wild especially when it comes to dating. She is jealous as hell and acts a bit too virginal or more like inexperienced for someone who is admittedly not one. Her family is even crazier than her but she has a big heart and a smiley personality.
Then her counterpart, Levi, the new neighbor who is a detective. He is more serious but he likes Fawn crazy and that the girl understands the sacrifices he need to make for his carrier.
They are really sweet together and their relationship comes quite smoothly and effortlessly. They just click and the attraction between them is undeniable.

I liked this book, I didn’t love it because I like a smidgen more drama in my stories and at parts it felt a bit too mushy for me but regardless that it was a quick and delightful read.

I loved this book. From the first run in, pun intended, you knew sparks were flying. All the feels in this book were great. Light, sweet, funny, hot, sexy, and OMG I loved it all. Levi was great. Loved all of Fawns quirks and Muffin, what can I say, I love doggies. Fawn was adorable. My head is swirling with what characters could have a book of their own.
I love a good book, and this one certainly passed muster.

ARC received gratefully.

Honestly, I liked this book, I really did. I just didn't love it. I'm a HUGE fan of Aurora's, but this story was just missing something for me.

The heroine cracked me up. She was klutzy, awkward, and funny! The hero was great too. He was a sexy, accomplished homicide detective and he couldn't help but fall in love with his crazy, but beautiful neighbor.

What I liked about the book, it's a quick, funny sexy read.

What a didn't like about the book. It was pretty predictable. It didn't really stand out for me. I'm a huge fan of Aurora's and most of her men are pretty memorable. Asher, Trevor, Cash, Nico, Wes, Jax, Kenton, to name a few. Levi although sexy and sweet, will just kind of blend in and I'll end up forgetting about him.

Again, this is totally my opinion on the book. Like I said before I did enjoy it. And you may LOVE it. I hope you do! And I'll still continue to be a fan of this author's work and read everything she releases.

A fun, sweet and sexy read. I didn't want to put this one down. This has to be one of my favorite Aurora Rose Reynolds books yet. She has such an effortless writing style. I love Fawn. She may be clumsy, a little nerdy, a little clueless and a little bit crazy at times but she is just real. Levi is a sweetheart. He is an amazing fit with Fawn. I love how he embraces Fawn as she is and Muffin. The chemistry is simple undeniable. They both have crazy families that I absolutely adored. I really can't wait for more books to come in this series.
