Book 4 in the Shacking Up series, this has been a favorite series from the start (though I somehow missed book 3 *runs off to 1-click). While there are some mentions of earlier characters and events, and some slight crossover, you don’t need to have read the previous books in the series to enjoy this.
An opposites attract kind of story, Cosy is a poor college student working at an adult toy shop to pay the bills—and yes, the setup is pretty funny, but there’s far more to the story than that. With a little bit of wanderlust, Cosy has taken time off from college occasionally to travel wherever the winds take her, and though she may be young, she’s more of a grown-up when it counts than a lot of people I know. At more than a decade older, Griffin comes from money, and is a Harvard grad. He’s settled into his job working in his family’s business, and rarely does anything without a plan, though thanks to an ex, he has his moments of vulnerability when it comes to women. He’s only in Vegas for a few months working on a project, she’s only there finishing up her degree and than who knows where she may be. Figuring out how these two are going to be together added tension to the story and helped keep me turning those pages.
I liked that Griffin is in his thirties and that they take their time getting together. Be warned, when they do get together, it’s all kinds of hot, whew! I also really liked that when there were bumps in the relationship (and some of them were pretty surprising), Cosy reacted but then took her time to think things through. Her reactions to the events themselves made sense to me, and it also made sense that she’d be careful and cautious after getting hurt, even when what happened wasn’t intentional or Griffin’s fault.
While the story has many funny moments, it never passed that invisible line of too over the top for me, and the author did a nice job balancing out the humor with a little angst and plenty of heat. While most of the story revolves around Cosy and Griffin, there are a few secondary characters around, including Cosy’s sister, Nevah. I wasn’t quite sure about Nev at first—she’s not a character I have much in common with—but her heart is in the right place, and by the end, I was intrigued enough to hope she eventually gets her own hea.
Very, very funny and very, very hot, with a little heartbreak to keep the balance, this was a fast, engaging read for me, and a great addition to the series. 5 stars

About the author
Size Matters!
Not my first read by author and by god the cover on this alone makes you swoon and think of everything and anything, then the blurb hits you & I knew I had to read it!I will forewarn you right now my BOOKBESTIE Ames had to talk me off the ledge with this one, thank god she had already read it because at about 40% there is a HUGE TRIGGER of mine and I about cried in frustration. Also I can’t tell you what it is but enough for me to freak out and have my bestie part spoiler alert me. Okay now that we are past this…The story line and all WAS FANTASTIC, i freaking loved that part as well as how they met. I mean I would totally be Cosy if I were in her shoes. The first date was everything and everything okay let’s just clear it up GRIFFIN was EVERYTHING! *SWOON ALERT* serious swoon alert!!The fun part is that once i got part spoiler alert and continued, I was skeptical and scared to what will come hehe Helena is really sneaky with that trigger, i never saw that coming! But things aren’t always as they seem…or so they say! I think I was on the fence about Cosy, I had most moment that I liked her but her being 22 and them having a age gap ALSOOOOO i want to address that I totally felt OLD from a comment of Cosy’s sister…gah, 33 is not old *crying* hahaha it was still a lot of fun to read it! So yeah, age gap new romance are a thing of mine, aside from that little beginning trigger, that also scared me in a good way.Cosy is a 22 year old still in collage where Griffin is 33 and already conquering his own empire. Cozy brings a lot of excitement and fun to Griffin’s world but it’s more than that, a lot happens but Griffin stands strong and powers through for the both of them..interesting turn of events that’s all I will say!A lot of secrets, a lot of adventure a LOT OF SWOON…another fun and sexy read by Helena!!Rating: ★★★★★Steamy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥Recommended: ☑ HIGHLY!⇨ H A P P Y – R E A D I N G ⇦
