I would say this was 3.5 or 3.75 stars for me. This was a really cute read, but it didn’t have much spice to it. It was pretty predictable like a Hallmark movie, but cute. Very feel good. I liked Olivia because I can relate to her liking things planned out and organized. She enjoys her job at the library and likes things how they are. Kingston was a big workaholic which I didn’t love at first how he kept ignoring everyone including Olivia for work. I liked him better once he took the sabbatical from work and you really got to understand him better. This was a quick read and I enjoyed the small town of Maple Falls and all its’ residents, especially Bea. I liked that this book had two different love stories going on, an older couple and a younger couple, both hesitant to take things to the next level. This was definitely some fake dating, miscommunication, and second chances when it comes to tropes.

Two to Tango is the fourth book in the Maple Falls series. Each book in the series focusses on one woman from a group of friends, and as such, it could probably be read as a standalone. Still, I think readers will get the most out of the story and have a better understanding of the characters and town if they've read the previous books first.

I've really enjoyed the previous books in the series, so I was really looking forward to this one... and right away I was drawn into Olivia and Kingston's story. The two connected super early on, and quite quickly. To the point that one minute they were thinking there might be something there and the next---the first kiss. So quickly that I actually went back, thinking I'd missed a page or two somehow! Despite that initial chemistry though, the story for the most part was actually a rather slow burn as these two had a lot to figure out before they reached a happily ever after! Naturally this allowed for a lot of meddling from family and townsfolk, which is certainly one of my favorite things about this series in general!

While I can't say that this was my favorite book in the series, I did find it to be an enjoyable read and I enjoyed catching up with all the characters in Maple Falls!

I received an advanced readers copy of Two to Tango!

Two to Tango is an adorable hallmark movies style romance book. A pediatrician is overworked, and unable to find time for love. A small time librarian is stuck in a rut, and wants to change. After a couple failed dates, they write each other off. But for some reason, the force of attraction (and old people) keeps pulling them together!

I thought the story was adorable. But I spent most of the book disliking the mmc, Kingston. I actually kept a list of red flags so I wouldn't forget

Kingston's red flags include:
-approving of throwing a woman onto a bed hard enough to break the bed (in a movie) indicating that because of her behavior she deserved it
- dismissive of menstrual cramp
- needs his mom to tell him to get his hair cut (though a huge part of the book is him learning how to say no to his mom, so props there)
- congratulating a pregnant woman on being pregnant without her telling him she was pregnant (he could tell by her glow, because he's a doctor)
- told his mother that Anita [ his sister] was only treating her weird because Anita was hormonal from pregnancy, instead of sticking up for his sister and telling his mom to shove off

As I mentioned- his character arc is about learning to say no, and to live life for himself not others. I think it's a very important journey, and one that many people need to take. In the end I think he is acceptable match for Olivia, so it was okay.

I liked Olivia having a similar yet different journey. Hers was about breaking free of the mold she forced herself into. She also learns to do things that makes her happy, and to break her schedule. Olivia is often described as olive skinned and she says she is 1/4 Hispanic. However this is not a book about being mix-raced or being Puerto rican. Honestly, it kinda felt like an attempt to check off the diversity box

Their romance together wasn't really the main focus. We know they get zaps and tingles when they're around each other, but their particularly journey is about finding space for relationships. And learning how to be a good partner. It works for them, since Kingston is Olivia's best friends older brother. So they didn't need to do too much of the "getting to know you" piece, since they'd known each other peripherally for ages.

Alongside Kingston and Oliva's romance, there a great romance between Erma and Jasper. They are in their 70's and 80's. I ADORED their romance. I thought it was so sweet, and when Erma mistakes the electric jolt of attraction for gas pain I cackled! It was awesome. I really enjoyed their story. It's also AWESOME that Erma is the only one who refrences a libido at any point. Get it Mimi!

Two to Tango was an adorable small town romance, that I enjoyed!
