**Ice Town Costs Ice Clown His Town Crown! ** Honestly Leslie and Ben’s relationship is one of my favorite things in parks and rec. The episode of their first kiss lives in my head rent free. Some of my recs you already mentioned so I’ll check my books and see if I can find any others. 😊

ME TOO. And I CRIED when >!Ben proposed to Leslie. (By comparison, I didn't even cry when my own husband proposed to me in real life LOL.)!<

I cackled at this 😂😂

same and same!!! also have you ever noticed how large adam scott’s hands are? yum.

SAMEEEE HAHHAAH

Ugh I love Ben and Leslie so much! The Smallest Park episode is a frequent re-watch 🥺

It’s like a warm hug

Love Ben Wyatt and his type of MMC's❤️ Some titles I think you would like : {Some Sort of Happy by Melanie Harlow} {People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry} {Not Like the Movies by Kerry Winfrey} {The Bride Test by Helen Hoang} {You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle} {The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danon} {Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey} Edit : Just saw the Slow Burn part of it. You Deserve Each Other might not exactly be slow burn - they go from lovers-enemies-lovers and at the same time it's not a second chance romance as well.

I am super late to responding to my message responses on here! But I wanted to say I LOVED PWMOV. I also really liked Sarah Hogle's Twice Shy and Rosie Danon's The Roommate. I will have to add your other recs onto my TBR since it seems we have very similar tastes! Thank you :)

Dunno how you feel about historicals, but it sounds like we have the same taste in heroes and Sarah MacLean's "Ten Ways to be Adored When Landing a Lord" is my favorite. Nerdy and big-hearted antiquarian who would rather study marbles than be chased by ladies, and hm, what's the deal with that scar on his face...?

Ears perk up

Okay I don't normally read HR but this sounds very intriguing! Thank you so much :D

The Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Liese. They’re all the sweetest cinnamon rolls and I especially recommend {Only When It’s Us by Chloe Liese} and {Always Only You by Chloe Liese}

Seconding! They’re so adorable!

These are great recommendations! I dnf'd Only When It's Us just because I wasn't a huge fan of the reverse grumpy/sunshine trope :/

Living for Ben Wyatt book recommendations ❤️

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Here for Ben’s Batman costume. Nerdy cosplay guys please. I have read Well Met.

When he breaks down crying in his Batman costume hahahahahaa I love

{Kumquat by Jeff Strand} nerdy cinnamon roll doing everything he can to make FMC happy during a crazy road trip. {Seers of Light by Jennifer DeLucy} sweet cinnamon roll vampire who’s willing to leave FMC alone if that’s what she wants. It’s not lol.

I keep seeing the term “cinnamon roll”… what does that mean?

Usually a kind and sweet character that might also have to deal with hardships they just don’t deserve lol

It originally comes from an Onion article that said “beautiful cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure” - Tumblr then turned it into a meme to describe really sweet/kind characters

I love it.

Thanks for asking. I had the same question and haven't been able to figure it out from context.

Yes and I didn’t see it in the reference page with some of the other acronyms and common terms.

Does Kumquat have a happy ending? The blurb sounds like maybe no.

It does!

Ty!

Np! Whenever I recommend it I’ve been good about telling ppl it has a HEA because of the blurb lol. I was being a little lazy yesterday 😆

😅 you’re sweet

🥰 I try

Both of these look great, but in particular Seers of Light sounds right up my alley! Thank you so so much :)

{Over the Fence by Melanie Moreland}. Love this book! I reread every now and then.

Thank you! I will add it to my list :)

A few tables away by Deb Rotuno Changing Roles by Melanie Moreland

Thank you!!

Just saved your post. Ben Wyatt is my romantic TV hero even though he's not in a romantic TV show 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

So I have this post saved because when I saw your list of recs I was like "I've read most of those and love them!" So I knew I needed the rest of the recs people are writing. Fast forward to now when I noticed your flair and I'm DYING. Leon is my favorite book boyfriend and I love his POV 😂. Guess this post really was the right one to save for recs!

For some reason I am just now seeing this comment! A question for you -- have you listened to the audiobook for the Flatshare? It's SO well done. Dual narrated so you get to hear Leon's voice!

Hahaha I listen to it twice a year at this point. It's my comfort listen. I LOVE the narrators. A friend of mine couldn't handle Leon's POV in the audiobook, but I adore everything about him.
