Book Review
Seven Year Itch by Amy Daws (Romance)
This had me smiling and laughing just like the first book. I really enjoyed reading about Dakota's post divorce journey and her finding her confidence again while also exploring her sexuality. I loved the nickname Calder ended up calling her, || each time it made me think about Logan and Rory plus his confession of liking Gilmore Girls. || I definatly want to keep reading more books with 30+ MC's so I'm happy most of this series has been older MC's. (Not sure about the last book since its about Everly) can't wait to get to the next book.
" But I'll tell you this. If you can surround yourself with good, kind people, whether that's colleagues, employees, friends, or family...people who want to raise you up instead of drag you down..." .... "...you can feel safe in your insecurities because there will always be someone there to call you out on your shit. Thank you."

Reading 'Seven Year Itch' by Amy Daws was a refreshing experience that brought a unique perspective to the romance genre. What I appreciated most about this book was how it portrayed a protagonist in her 30s, Dakota, who navigates life after divorce with humor and tenderness. This age representation in romance novels often resonates deeply with readers who appreciate seeing characters with mature, relatable experiences. The story’s focus on Dakota’s journey to regain her confidence and explore her sexuality felt authentic and empowering. It’s not just a love story but also an inspiring tale about self-growth and the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people. That quote from Dakota about finding strength in good relationships really stuck with me—it’s a reminder about how we need uplifting friendships and family ties to overcome insecurities. Another highlight was the enemies-to-lovers trope mixed with a coaching romance setting, which added layers of tension and emotional depth. Calder’s affectionate nickname for Dakota brought in a nice personal touch, making their connection feel genuine and endearing. For readers who enjoy romance novels focusing on older main characters with rich emotional arcs, this book is a must-read. Also, the series’ continuation with characters around that age group adds to the appeal, providing more stories that reflect life’s complexities beyond youthful romance. Overall, 'Seven Year Itch' is not only entertaining but also thoughtful, filled with moments that make you smile and reflect. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in love stories that balance humor, heartache, and personal empowerment.
