Without a doubt, this is my favorite in the series – even if I wanted to smack Brig upside the head repeatedly. Quinn makes his personality shine in this funny, swoony romance; it’s lighter than the other books in the series because that’s just the kind of guy Brig is. He’s been my favorite Knightly brother since the first book, so I am very happy to report that I had a smile on my face the whole way through. The slow build from acquaintances to friends to lovers made for a light read with hints of tension, and I loved that the characters are just so LOVABLE. This book will make you laugh, smile, roll your eyes at our clueless hero, and ultimately get that swoony feeling.
The story follows Brig, the youngest Knightly brother. He loves love and just wants a real relationship, but doesn’t seem to be having any luck in the process. When Brig finds out about a local pen pal program, he thinks this may be his real shot at love. But just as he starts exchanging letters with his mystery girl, Brig starts to spend more time with the woman who has served him coffee for years. Unbeknownst to Brig, Ruth has had a crush on him for a long, long time. Now that’s she’s finally trying to overcome her shyness around him and let her true personality come through, Brig notices Ruth in a whole new way. Unfortunately, it may be too little too late, as Ruth finally starts to get frustrated with Brig’s complete and utter cluelessness about her feelings.
Brig is such a great guy, so bubbly and kind and caring. I loved seeing him finally get his happily ever after, and I appreciated how light the book is. After a few heavy stories in a row, it was nice to just have a playful, adorable kind of read from this series. The build in intimacy is fantastic, with a slow burn that works for the story. And when we finally get the steamy scenes, you can feel the connection there. I will say that I think the pen pal storyline went on too long – Brig essentially has feelings for “two” women until very late in the story, and I wished it had played out differently, but that’s really my only complaint. I’ve loved getting to know this group of brothers and hope it’s not the last we see of them (Oliver needs love too). This series has been incredibly heartwarming with characters who are such a breath of fresh air, and I’m glad that Brig’s love story was worth the wait. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC via Candi Kane PR (then purchased it for my collection), and am voluntarily leaving a review of this small town romance.

About the author
Heartwarming and absolutely hilarious read!!
All Brig Knightly has ever wanted is to be romanced a little and to find his one true love. But as the last single Knightly brother standing, his prospects are starting to look pretty grim... and he 100% places that blame on the dreaded curse he caught in New Orleans... Ruth Barber has been harboring an all-consuming crush on Brig for an embarrassingly long time. Content with keeping her distance and admiring him from afar, it's too bad for Ruth that her best friend has some different plans in mind... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That Swoony Feeling was a heartwarming and absolutely hilarious read! Brig and Ruth's friends-to-lovers relationship was the exact kind of romance this summer needed! While Brig has been searching for love, the entire town of Port Snow is exasperated with his cluelessness when it comes to who they think is the perfect girl for him. Ruth is sweet, funny and incredibly lovable... if only Brig would finally notice who's been crushing on him right before his eyes... Brig was the most gosh darn adorable hero I think I have ever experienced in a romance novel. With his love of love and his utmost desire to be romanced, his sweet and mischievous personality was a constant entertainment. And although he was completely clueless when it came to his feelings for Ruth, his innocence in his ignorance was hard to resist. Ruth was a delightful and sassy woman who turned into a shy wallflower in the presence of Brig. As an already successful business woman, she dreams of a new venture that would honor her deceased parents, but she isn't quite ready to take the plunge. Until her pushy, yet lovable friends find her the perfect location... with an irresistible neighbor who is already dead set on helping her out, included. I adored everything about this book! Brig was such an amazing character and Ruth was extremely lovely, and had a great, multi-layered personality. The plot was engaging and fun, and the "pen pal summer of love" added in provided a nice and unpredictable twist. And towards the end, this hilarious and light read also provided a few heartbreaking moments as well. That Swoony Feeling was the perfect end to the unforgettable Getting Lucky series. I am so sad to see the last of the Knightly family and the town of Port Snow, Maine. Each and every story was an entertaining and sexy escape unto itself, and the characters will forever bring a smile to my face. I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
