Since I love reading contemporary romance, this book ended up on my wishlist because the synopsis sounded so good. I got an e-arc through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I finished this book within a day, which already tells a bit about how I feel about the book haha. A book I don't like, isn't a book I finish within a day. Soo.. Let me tell you more about Running into love, the first in a new series by the NEW YORK TIMES WALL STREET JOURNAL AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Aurora Rose Reynolds.

This was my first book of this author and after finishing this book I immediately added all of her other books to my wishlists as well haha. This book was such a lovely read, from beginning till end. The story-line wasn't particularly original but the author's writing style, in combination with her amazing, realistic and lovable characters made me fall hard for this first book in a new series! Once started, I just couldn't stop reading anymore. Everything is so fluently and easy written, I devoured every page and I'm really sad it ended because I want more!

I love the male lead, Levi, so much. He was honest, real, disarming, charming and dedicated. I love his dedication towards everything; his dedication to Fawn right from the start, to his family who we meet later on and of course the dedication and love for his job, because knowing he's a police officer doesn't hurt either, lol. - prrrrrrrr.... - Sorry, got a thing for them aside from rockstars, bikers, fighter pilots and atletes, lol.. But really, he's such a lovable character, I couldn't help but swoon big time over him. 

Fawn was a great counter part to Levi. She's dedicated as well towards her job among other things - maybe even more so than Levi -, she loves animals and is also a family person just like Levi. She feels like a very realistic character who loves her job and falls for this new neighbor and from then on she's lost in him.. I totally fell right with her while reading her POV's, because Levi is a character you just can't ignore. I liked how sweet she was and a bit neurotic as well - in a good and fun kind though - and ended up in the most adorable and funny situations hihi.

I love the romance development. I have to say, it's really fast paced from time to time, but somehow it feels just incredibly real and believable. I love the banter between Levi and Fawn and it made me laugh out loud many times. I've had a huge ass smile plastered on my face while reading this book and now still, when thinking back about it and writing my review. The chemistry between them is so palpable and I gobbled it up. I love how Fawn's dog is overly devoted to Levi right from the start, to Fawn's dismay hehe and the sometimes clumsy moments Fawn experiences, lol. Yep, there's definitely some awesome humor inside this book, just love it. And it really adds to the romance I think. A relationship with this kind of banter and humor aside from the amazing chemistry, is a romance I love to come across.

Aside from the main characters, every side character is also really well written. They're not just fill-ups, but they're really present in the story. I really felt connected to them and reading this book makes me ache for so much more books in this series - Yep, aside from Fawn and Levi, my fangirl heart has been reaaaaaly busy shipping a lot of other couples already, lol. Can't help myself haha. When you read the book, you'll know what I mean.. All of the characters are just such a joy to read about and the build-ups to their stories makes me soooo excited as well! So aside from loving the romance development between Fawn and Levi, there's definitely much more to love about in this book.

If you love contemporary romance books with a really beautiful developed and realistic feeling romance, lovable characters and an addictive writing style this is a book you need to add to your to read list asap. In comparison to other contemporary romance there isn't as much angst woven throughout the story as I've grown accustomed to with reading contemporary romance, but I didn't miss it to be honest. Just like I thought Levi and Fawn were just so cute together and felt so real. Sigh, just loved it haha.

Levi’s just the right amount of Alpha and it’s nice to read about a couple that doesn't has a sh*tload of 'baggage' that's being thrown into the story and messing everything up, for a change. Except for both of their loving families being too involved in their lives. That was such a joy to read about haha. Gosh, just thinking back about those moments, makes me laugh all over again and it gives me such a joy's and happy feeling towards the book.

Like I said, this book was such a joy to read and perfect the way it is written and developed on every level and I'm really looking forward for more books in this series. In the meantime I definitely plan on buying more books of this author, read them and getting to know all of the other characters Aurora Rose Reynolds put down on paper so far.

4* read.
I do love this authors writing style. She writes hot alpha males who steal your heart and strong woman who you easily connect to. I would say this book was slightly different to this authors normal but still great.
The cover is what attracted me to this book before I even saw who the author was. Its eye-catching and beautiful, it just makes you want to pick up the book.
So this is Fawn and Levi' story who first run into each other when Fawn literally runs into Levi when shes out running. Then she realises hes her new next door neighbour. Erm I wish I had a next door neighbour like him. What I also really loved about this book was the other characters to. The two families were so funny and I can't wait to get the stories of Fawns two sisters and Levi's single brother, I already have my mind set on who Libby will end up with.
A great read, I'm looking forward to more in this series.
Although this is a lighhearted read due to the nature of Levi's job there is some added angst and drama.

I love the author and excited to see a new series but thought this needed something more.

I didn't hate the book but I didn't love it either. Fawn and Levi had an easy relationship without any conflict or drama. She literally runs into him and from that moment they are a couple. Along with their kooky over the top family.

The author did a good job creating a nerdy girl whose sweet and thoughtful. While Fawn had some good traits I thought she came across as immature for her age. She came across a bit dopey at times.

I liked Levi. He was a stand up guy who is trying to make his corner of the world a better place. I liked his protective nature when it came to Fawn.

There were certain storylines that were over looked. I would have liked a little more of an in-depth look at a few. Specifically, why he broke up with his ex-fiance, why his Sister-in-law was rude and what really happened to her students mother

We all hope that one day we will run into the love of our lives. And in this case, it happens literally. Fawn is perfectly happy in her life as a 5th grade teacher. She doesn’t need a man to make her happy and she loves being by herself with her dog Muffin. Until she literally runs into her new neighbor, Levi, and he challenges everything that she thought was making her happy.

Levi loves his job and his life in NYC and doesn’t want to complicate things with a relationship…again. But Fawn throws his inhibitions out the window and the alpha/caveman comes out as he not only tries to woo her prove that love is always worth the chance. His relationship with Fawn is funny especially because she is not that modelesque type of woman that is perfect on all accounts. She is clumsy, has no filter, and makes mistakes. That Thanksgiving scene we have all done at least once. I find it funny to see them interact and love how they are able to get to their HEA.

Like her Until series, it’s a quick pace romance that focuses a lot on the romance and not so much on the outside story. She does introduce a lot of secondary characters that I am sure will play future roles in other books of the series and some of them I am very excited to read. Especially the one with Fawn’s sister. It’s a fun story that can probably be read in a sitting or two. I love these kinds of stories because they are perfect to read on a day off and doesn’t take a whole lot out of you emotionally.

I really loved this book! It's sweet, fun and sexy! It has the classic Aurora feels! Levi is the sexy alpha male detective and Fawn is the sweet and a little naive teacher. I loved them together! They were perfect for each other! I loved all the family members and Muffin was the cutest dog! I cannot wait for more on this series! This is a must read!

This book is a confusing one for me to review because for every thing I didn't like, there was something that I did. Overall it was a good story and maybe most of my issues came from me being too critical of it but there were little things that bugged me throughout my reading.

I actually had to start the beginning of this book over more than once because I was so confused by the first few pages. It opened with Fawn running in the park with her eyes close. Why? Well, I don't know because that was never really explained. Finally moving on and reading more of the story I came across more scenes or information that wasn't explained enough for me to feel connected to the story since it just left me confused.

There were multiple aspects of the story that I felt didn't fit at all. Almost like random information being shoved at me even though it didn't help the story out at all. There was a "mystery" thrown in that I found completely pointless because not only was it very predictable, it wasn't explained enough or featured enough for me to even understand why I was supposed to care about it. It did nothing to help these characters connect so I just didn't get it.

On top of that I just didn't like Fawn. In the beginning I was thinking she was a quirky and fun character but then as I read on she was nothing more than annoying. What was supposed to be funny, I guess, came off more as stupid.

Like I said, there were parts of the book that I enjoyed and the book as a whole I count as a winner. The issues I had with it did lessen how much I liked it but they didn't make me hate it.

This is my first time reading Auro Rose Reynolds, and I really like it and will definitely be reading more of her soon. I love possessive alpha-males, and Levi definitely fits the bill. He and Fawn are new neighbors and feel and intense attraction. Fawn hasn’t had the best luck in love, and she tries to ignore the sexual tension that simmers between them. But Levi is sure that this is something special brewing between them, and he patiently woos the skittish Fawn.

There’s plenty of heat and heart in Running to Love punctuated with endearing second characters, who are Fawn and Levi’s family, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this romance.

This is my first novel by this author and I believe it might be my last. I did not get a chance to finish this novel. Based on the description, I was intrigued to say the least. But upon reading the novel (which I never finished) I didn't feel like the characters were mature enough and that the writing style was kind of all over the place and not very organized or well-written. I don't think I will be recommending this novel or author.

This is my first book by Aurora Rose Reynolds.

What I liked:
The writing style
Dual POVs
Standalone
HEA

What I didn't like:
"Baby" "Babe"

I had a hard time staying interested in the story.
I will try something else from this author.

Book Review - Running into Love – (4 Stars)
Every once in a while you read a synopsis and you’re not really sure what to expect from the story, but you give it a shot anyway. Sometimes you are disappointed and other times you’re pleasantly surprised and that were the case with Running into Love.
Fawn Reed, has pretty much given up on love. Too many douches, jerks and a-holes; nope she doesn’t need love. She’s pretty darned satisfied with her one-hundred and fifteen pound “pup” Muffin. Until Hottie-Mc-Hottie, Detective Fremont, enters hers life and her world and dreams will never be the same.
Levi Fremont is laser focused on his career, much to the dismay of his mother who has all of her boys married except him. There’s no room for love in his life right now. Love and relationship equal full time job and he’s got one of those already that he absolutely loves. Running into (literally) Fawn Reed has knocked Levi on his ass, literally and figuratively, and suddenly a relationship doesn’t seem so out of the question. As soon as he can convince Fawn of this his world might just be complete.
This was a quick funny and witty read. Things moved a little too fast for me but it was still enjoyable. I’m not one who’s big on terms of endearment so the constant use of “babe” and “baby” drove me a bit batty but the laughs made up for it. I loved that both Fawn’s and Levi’s families were loud and a bit nutty. When the supporting cast makes you want to know more about them but yet don’t overpower the main characters, that a big win in my book. I feel like this story may have been a spin-off from another series which might have involved Levi’s brothers but I’m not one hundred percent sure.
I’m hoping the next book in this series (Fluke My Life) is Mac (Fawn’s sister) and Wesley’s) Levi’s partner) story. That seems like it will be fun read. OOOHHHH, or Levi’s brother Lucas who is getting divorced!

I am a big fan of this author. I really loved her "Until" series and the "Underground Kings" !! So of course I had to give this new book a go ;)

Even though I did enjoy reading this one...it wasn't my favorite of her.

I found the openingscene of this book pretty confusing. The heroine was running around with her arms wide and her eyes closed and ran into the hero. When he asks her if she is alright afterwards she acts all flighty, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why, and what was going on.

Thankfully it did get better and things became more clear.

So, Fawn is a 27 year old school teacher. She and her two sisters are quite gorgeous and all single. Fawn is pretty much done with the whole dating scene, after some disasters. She is also very clumsy and accident prone... well at least when the hero is around.

Like I said, she runs into the hero during the opening scene, and he turns out to be her new neighbour.

Levi, is completely smitten with Fawn from the moment he first lays eyes on her. He's a handsome homicide detective, who knows exectly what he wants, when he sees it...and what he wants now is Fawn.

He makes work of pursuing her, but it takes Fawn some time, to see what is right in front of her.

When she finally wakes up, these two were pretty sweet and hot together.

The steamy scenes were extremely hot, but there were also some cliche parts, that made me roll my eyes.

Like the fact that he has such a huge cock, that her fingers don't thouch, when she wraps them around him. Or the fact that he is so big that he touches some place deep inside her, that she never knew excisted. Oh... and he can also make her come 3/4 times in a row.

Now I am not saying this a bad thing.... I just think I have read these same things, too many times already.

That said, the book was still very entertaining to me. Their families especially cracked me up and I will definitely be reading the books about the other sisters ;)

There was also a bit of suspence, having to do with Levi and Fawn's work.

So this may not have been my favorite read by this author. It was enjoyable non the less.

This was a sweet story filled with lots of laugh out loud moments.
The heroine Fawn, literally runs into her love interest, Levi, knocking them both over. From the very first chapter I was chuckling at the pair and it only got better as the story went on.

Levi is smitten from the beginning but Fawn is a little more reserved, I’d actually go as far as to say slightly oblivious to how he feels about her.

Their families were absolutely hilarious and totally embarrassing which made for complete entertainment.

I did kind of see what was going to happen at the end by about 20% into the book, but that didn’t lessen my enjoyment.

This book was equal parts sweet, sexy and hilarious. I’m glad we get to read more about Fawns sisters and hopefully about Levi’s brother Lucas. I’m also hoping there will be a book about Tamara, it would be nice to read about her all grown up.

Absolutely love all of ARR books! This is one is no different. It was a perfect adorable romance with a hot alpha male and very little angst! I loved that Fawn was a little different, clumsy and a little crazy. If you love a sweet insta-love with an alpha hottie this is your book!

I was in the mood today for something low angst and this one fit the bill to a "T". I will say I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't hotter (no sex until 60%). But as always I enjoyed this author's writing. The pace was good, and I was never bored. There was no OW/OM drama, and the (few) sex scenes were hot. The mystery aspect was OK but honestly took a backseat for most of the book.

I adored all the side characters and hope we are going to get books featuring Fawn's sisters and Lucas. Both main characters were fairly likable. I LOVED Levi. There is no doubt ARR knows how to write a good alpha hero. Fawn I liked a bit less. She came across a bit..I don't want to say like an idiot...maybe a little too naive for a 27-year-old woman. Her inability to see what was so incredibly obvious was annoying to me at times. But she didn't annoy me enough that it affected my rating or enjoyment. Lastly, it was all wrapped up in a few sweet epilogues.

What a fabulous way to meet which set the tone for a wonderfully fun, sexy romance. Fawn literally crashes into Levi but what she doesn’t expect is to see him again as her new neighbor. Then to add insult to injury, her dog Muffin seems to like Levi better than her. Levi, an NYPD detective, is captivated by this crazy woman that ran into him. Seeing her across the hall is just an added bonus. He knows she is the one for him but Fawn is very reluctant and cautious. Levi however is persistent and knows what he wants. This relationship has a slow burn until their families appear. OMG! Fawn’s mother, well, she would embarrass all of us but it’s so much fun to read because we’ve all been there, had that moment when someone we love totally embarrasses us. This is was just fun for me to read with a perfect balance of drama and sexiness. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Advanced Readers Copy Courtesy of Netgalley....:)

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of this author. I have been since the very beginning and I will also admit that when I was approved for this ARC, I went a little bit crazy.....:)

This is the first book in her brand new series and its gonna be just as awesome as all the others. This is the story of Fawn and Levi.

Levi is a hot detective with the NYPD, and Fawn is his next door neighbor. They meet when Fawn knocks him down in the park on a run, and then he also happens to be the new neighbor that has moved in next door.

I loved the chemistry between these 2 and of course the slight insta love, that this author is known for. The secondary characters were also off the charts wonderful and I cannot wait to see Fawn's sisters get their own books, as well as Levi's brother.

I loved every minute that I was able to get lost in this awesome book, and of course ARR has knocked it out the park with the start of her new series.......:)

When you need a sweet and sexy read, then you need to read this book! Seriously, this was an instant attraction, slowly escalating, picture perfect, love story. It is perfectly paced, and completely d'aw worthy!

Fawn and Levi meet when she literally runs into him, knocking them both over. Shortly after that, they realize he is her new across the hall neighbour. And her not-so-well-behaved dog, Muffin, prefers him to her, and will actually listen to him and not her

This begins their friendship, their courtship, and their love affair. She's an elementary school teacher with two sisters, one older and one younger. Her mom and dad were love at first sight, and her dad had been a police officer his whole life, while her mom stayed home. No trauma or drama, but she has given up on dating after everything that goes along with it. Muffin dislike of men is something she has been used to, but she takes to Levi right away

Levi has three brothers, and they are all married and live in Connecticut, where he grew up. No drama in his upbringing either, and he moved to New York to further his career as a police detective. From the moment he was crashed into by Fawn, he wants her, but he knows this is too important, so he takes things slow.

She doesn't realize this is going to happen, so he needs all his patience in making her see it. With crazy family members everywhere, and some low-key drama, this was a wonderful read, with feel good moments happening all over the place - I loved it!

Wow this book was fantastic and not only the romance but the hard headed that they both are the funny stuff that both sides of the parents and the surprises one after another. Literly you can run into love with your eyes shut.

4.5 hot detective, alpha male stars. This book reminds me of my all-time favourite ARR book, Until November, which is probably why I loved it so much.

Levi is a total alpha male, knows what he wants as soon as he sees Fawn. He tries to walk away, but when he realises they are now neighbours, he puts his plan in motion to get Fawn. Fawn is everything I want in a heroine, strong, feisty and not easily pushed around. Though the attraction is there from the very beginning, Fawn doesn't immediately give in, in fact she goes out of her way to avoid Levi as much as possible until a hilarious encounter after a night out, unwittingly leaves Fawn in Levi's hands, and she can no longer hide.

This story has everything, a relatable heroine, a strong, hot, hero, a cute dog and great side characters, Both Fawn and Levi's families, especially Fawn's sisters are such fun to read about, in fact I'm hoping there will be more books in this series unveiling the stories of Libby and Cole and Mac and Wesley.

As always with ARR books, this story had a fantastic epilogue, I love reading about what happens to the couple after the story ends and this book does not disappoint.

The only reason I didn't give this book 5* is Heather, I didn't like that side storyline and didn't feel it was needed. Everything else for me was perfect.
