**Slow Burn Alert**

Need a romance with a nice, slow burn? This friends-to-lovers story is the one for you! If you don't, maybe this one will change your mind because Matilda and Alec, well, they're perfect for each other. Perfectly opposite and perfect friends, until they're not. Happy Reading!

Matilda Conklin is always a personal attendant, never a bride. Even in her favorite cousin's wedding, she's been relegated to errand running. No matter, Matilda is able to see the bright side of things. Not because she's an eternal optimist, although, that helps.

Nope. It's because she understands how short life is and that there's no use whining about stupid stuff like terrible maids-of-honor or how she has to learn the waltz to please her cousin.

Matilda knows there's always a silver lining. This one just happens to be muscled and six-feet-tall plus of silver lining.

Alec Marchesani can't dance. Nor does he want to. Ever. But, here he is, forced by his stupid brother to learn the waltz.

The waltz! The only bright spot in this entire sh*t show is the quirky girl next to him. She's a bit too sunshiny for Alec––you know, too optimistic—but that's okay. She's funny, and if there's one thing Alec Marchesani needs in his life, it's some funny.

Maybe learning the waltz won’t be so bad.

Another entertaining and fun story, I enjoyed the evolution of an unexpected friendship between Matilda and Alec that evolved into something more but I have to admit that there are quite a few side characters I wanted to throat-punch into the next dimension.

One thing I like about Kayt Miller’s stories is that the characters are people we could encounter on any given day, down to earth and dealing with everyday, realistic problems. Alec definitely embodies the whole “grumpy” persona, but the more he gets to know Matilda, the more we get to see how sweet and caring he is. Matilda is the “sunshine” to Alec’s grumpiness, and while there were plenty of times she didn’t really stick up for herself, there were a few moments where we got the chance to see her assertiveness.

As for the secondary characters, they all need to kick rocks because they are nothing but bullies towards Matilda, but for me, it was Alec’s brothers and their treatment towards Matilda had my blood pressure spiking, but we really don’t get an explanation as to why they have a healthy dose dislike for her.

Kayt grew up in the midwest surrounded by a loving family, which included three brothers, one sister, and parents who always fostered her creative side.

She wrote her first book when she couldn’t find a story about a certain type of a woman and a specific kind of man. She called it “Game Changer,” and in couldn’t have been a more appropriate title. It changed her life in many ways.

Her author goal is to write stories that romance readers can relate to, while making readers laugh and sometime shed a tear or two. Kayt hopes her readers can escape into a fantasy, one that’s actually possible.

Sure, some of the stories are dubbed “insta-love,” but that’s okay. She fell in love with her husband pretty damn fast and with her daughter the second she saw her.
