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.

Let me start off by saying I'm immediately hooked from the beginning and within a few pages I knew that this was going to be a fav read for me.

How the two main characters meet had me giggling and smiling like an utter fool.

"Tinker Bell, can you get a clue for a fucking minute?" that line right there produced a snort and a giggle from me without a doubt.

This storyline and the characters had me completely leaving my world of reality and I submersed myself into this book. I don't quite even know why it did and it hard to put it into words.

But something about this story made me escape. My heart constantly pounding throughout with feelings of giddiness at the Fawn's reactions to Levi. I got the butterflies and the goosebumps imagining myself to be her. I feel as though I completely imagined myself being Fawn herself.

Aurora Rose Reynolds is brilliant when it comes to writing male heroines that I completely fall in love with. They call to me on a whole other level. She is an Alpha male master in my opinion and Levi is definitely Alpha and he definitely made me feel things. The way he spoke, the way he acted, all of it... and I found myself wanting to be the object of his affection.

This book also had bits of humor in it that I absolutely loved especially with Fawn. She had this way of making me relate to her and her awkwardness. Foot in mouth syndrome that made me chuckle but at the same time I thought I can see myself doing those things.

Then there are their families. OH MY GOD LMFAO again I felt like they were mine and my husbands families. CRAZY AF !!!!! Hilarious and inappropriate but completely lovable.

I could literally go on and on about this book and all the things I loved about it. I think I highlighted the entire thing and I will say without a doubt that I will reread this over and over again. I found a new fav series and I am not surprised in the slightest that it comes from Aurora Rose Reynolds. She is so crazy talented and her characters are ones that I find so easy to fall in love with. Her stories always take me on a journey and I want to live in her books. This deserves more than five stars in my opinion.

Running into Love is a cute, fast-paced story about two people who need each other. Their relationship moves quickly, but that's what Aurora Rose Reynolds does best. Levi and Fawn seem perfect for each other and the cast of characters around them made the story all that much cuter (Family! You both love and hate them at the same time! ha!)

Running into Love is a story about Fawn, who is a 5th grade teacher with some quirkiness and Levi, a sweet and charming detective who falls for Fawn from the start. I love, love loved Levi's patience with Fawn and the way he loved and cared about her, but I struggled at times with Fawn's naivety and/or immaturity. Levi's feelings about Fawn were insanely clear from the start, yet she seemed somewhat oblivious at times. I loved the scenes throughout the book with all the crazy family members, which added to the charm of the book. Runing into Love was an engaging read with a HEA and while I overall really enjoyed the book, main struggles were in regards to Fawn's character. I am a huge fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds work and will continue to read all of her books!!!

Running into Love was what Aurora Rose Reynolds does best; Alpha Male with an adorable leading lady. The story was a lot of fun and somewhat OTT but you know what I really enjoyed. It had plenty of humour and sweet and sexy moments. I loved Fawn and Levi separately and together and they had great chemistry. This was a real feel good read and one I'd be happy to be recommend.

I was provided with a copy of this book from the Publisher via NetGalley; there was no inducement or obligation.

After three days of being neck deep in angsty pnr crazies this book was a godsend.

Aurora's books always work for me. I've never disliked anything she's wrote however this is one of my favourites. I will be the first to say that there is a few unanswered questions in here that leave you with a wtf face for a few minutes after. However they weren't significant enough for me to ruin the story or sway my feelings for the characters. That is literally the only thing in my opinion that could potentially be a bothersome thing for others.

Fawn is cute as hell, I really did enjoy her character. She's a little pocket rocket, feisty quirky and all round a little nuts. I found her character to be extremely relatable, very sweet and down to earth. She had her insecurities like most humans and she showed her vulnerability but not in a overbearing way. I enjoyed her character growth throughout the book, I really liked learning all the different sides to her personality. Funny, sweet, kind and beautiful she was an all round likeable character.

Levi, sweet Levi... that man was a sweetheart. His character fitted Fawns to perfection. He was an alpha male and he had that sexy dark possessive side to him however he was also extremely patient and gentle. He never rushed anything, always the perfect balance of hard and soft. I loved that he loved her crazy, his more silent patients to her bubbly chattering made for a sweet combination. He wasn't afraid to be vulnerable or show his emotions to her, he took the lead making sure she knew how he felt and that when she was ready he'd be there. I loved him, he wasn't your typical dominant overbearing alpha but I really loved him for Fawn and just his character in general.

The story is more of a slow burner. It's sweet, very low angst and just an all round great romance story. I loved that it isn't filled with unnecessary drama or random crap to fill the pages. It purely them and their story but it's enough. I enjoyed the side characters and their crazy antics.. it was entertaining for sure. The chemistry between the H/h is palpable from the start and the slow burn makes it all the more exciting. I loved the relationship between them and the side characters, not once did any of it feel displaced or forced. It read seamlessly and took you on a rollercoaster of emotions. I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait for what's next.

I kindly received this ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'll start this review by saying that Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of those authors that I can't resist buying her books because I ALWAYS enjoy them a lot! Her Until series and the spin-offs Until Her and Until Him are some of my favourite books ever. When I learned she was starting a new series I knew I had to have it!
This book is about a couple that meets in a typical "meet cute" way. I got to say this wasn't as good as some of her previous work because I enjoy some more angst in my romance and Running into You doesn't have that much angst or a "dark side" but nevertheless it was a really well written book with a really cute story.
The MCs were great together, I really liked Fawn's shyness and the way Levi dealt with it, never getting too upset about it because he knew (and I TOTALLY agree with him on this) that it was what made her so darn adorable and lovable. The only criticism I have is that the drama with his case involving one of her kids (she was a teacher) could have come sooner and not be over so quickly, it would have been more suspenseful but this wasn't enough for me to not enjoy the book.
I loved their families and I'm really looking forward to Lucas' book (please let it be with Libby) and to Mac's too (Wesley for the win)
Despite not being my favourite work of hers to date, it was still Aurora Rose Reynolds so obviously I enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone wanting to read a cute romance with engaging characters and low on angst or suspense.

You know when you read a book and know everyone else is going to love it, but you didn't.... that is this book for me. I know I am going to be the rare person who didn't love this book. I just didn't get it. There was so many unanswered questions for me. But, that is what happens when I read ARR books.

Fawn was quirky... maybe too quirky. She starts off the book running in NYC with her eyes closed. Like... what?? What adult does this? In the city no less! I thought she got something in her eye. Or maybe she was blinded by the sun. But, we never find out.

And Levi is all in from the start. He must have patients of a saint. Fawn and her sisters are always into something.

Is tugged with this one. Skimmed towards the end to see what happened. But, I already kinda knew because it was a ARR book.

I love this author and when IO saw she had a new book I was desperate to read it but I was disappointed.
The heroine Fawn is a bit funny at first but it wears thin and she becomes annoying.
The book is basically them getting together with very little angst and a small amount of extra story-line via his job.
There is a lot of potential for future stories with siblings and I would probably try those as I know with her 'Until' series they were hit and miss, and as a reader if an author writes a series about different couples you are going to connect with some more than others and I am hoping to connect with some of the other future books in this series as there were hinted at some good ones.

I loved this book and read it one sitting. All of Aurora Rose Reynolds book are amazing and this one is no exception it was simply amazing. It had an over the top alpha male and lots cute scenes and some humor. I will be re-reading this book in the future. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I just love Aurora's words!!!
I've just read this in one sitting. I only stopped to either get a drink, have food or pee lol.
Levi.. Is one hot man and he's a detective for NYPD ♡ Yep I'm totally in love with him. His character was just sweet, loving, total caveman and swoony.
Fawn.. She's a sweet and loving character. Her and Levi's meeting made me chuckle. I love her and Muffin. The way Muffin ignores Fawn because Levi is near haha love it.
I knew this book was going to be good because HELLO it was created by Aurora Rose Reynolds!!
From start to finish I just couldnt put it down. I swooned at the epilogue. So bloody sweet xx

I received an ARC from NetGalley to read and review. The below is my honest, unbiased opinion. Thank you, Aurora Rose Reynolds, the publisher, and NetGalley, for allowing me to review.

RUNNING INTO LOVE is the story of Fawn Reed, a girl who's given up on finding her one true love--until, that is, she meets Levi Fremont, a homicide detective with a nonexistent love life and who's new to New York City. After a few too many comedic encounters, the two finally realize they're perfect for each other.

This was my first Aurora Rose Reynolds book, and I enjoyed it. I liked the light, love, flirty, fun, comedic aspect to the book, and the author did a great job weaving those lighthearted moments throughout. Fawn is a loveable, cute heroine, and Levi is a typical alpha male. These tropes are common in this genre, though, and Reynolds executes them well. I enjoyed the thrilling and suspense elements thrown in thanks to Levi's job. It made this more than the typical romantic comedy, a genre that's definitely saturating the romance market.

Overall, it was a quick, fun read that I'd recommend to fans of romantic comedies with alpha males.

I never pass up a chance to read a book by ARR. Everything she writes is like magic! This was different than her usual. but I still enjoyed reading it, the only thing that annoyed me was Fawn's stuttering when she first starts up with Levi. But otherwise, it was such a sweet and well developed story. I want more, so much more.. Lucas and Wesley need to have books with Fawn's sisters. gah. Love! I'll be stalking, i mean watching, for the next release!!

BOOK BLURB


Fawn Callaghan has kissed one too many toads and has finally decided that Prince Charming doesn’t exist. After countless mishaps, mistakes, and unmitigated disasters on the dating scene, she’s decided to give up and move on with her life…solo.

Everything changes, however, after Fawn runs into Levi Fremont, a homicide detective new to New York City.

Dedication to the job has rendered Levi’s love life nonexistent—until he moves in next door to the free-spirited Fawn. After a series of comedic run-ins push them together, will they finally give in to the inevitable and realize—maybe—they are perfect for each other?

My Thoughts


You know how family makes you crazy when they all get together for special occasions like holidays or even just because? Wait till you meet Fawn and Levi’s families and you just might rethink what crazy really means to you!

Fawn Callaghan despairs ever finding her own special someone since she has had nothing but bad luck with guys forever, that is until an infuriatingly handsome single police detective moves into her apartment building and turns out to be her across-the-hall new neighbor.

Levi Fremont could not believe that the woman who collided with him during his morning run was also his new neighbor in the building which he would now call home, thanks to a job promotion moving him to New York to work.

When these two are together they light up the pages, they are totally in sync with one another right from the start and though things do move very fast readers still get the sense of how perfect they are for each other. More so as the story progresses and the two grow closer and reveal more of themselves to each other.

The shy, sweet nerd and the intense, protective alpha male belong together but convincing Fawn took Levi a bit of effort until one fateful night proved to them both life without each other was unthinkable.

I have one other thing to let slip and that is Thanksgiving was never as much fun as the one Fawn and Levi share, believe me when you get to that part of the book you will know what I mean.

Filled with some of the most creative ways to manage embarrassing both Fawn and Levi by their respective family members this was a wonderful introduction to both the new series and the new to me author.

I especially appreciated the epilogue which allowed the reader a look into the future for Fawn and Levi, it was a wonderful gift I was not expecting at the end.
