Thoughts:
Juliet has been burned by love and is wary of jumping back
into the dating pool. Will is awkward and shy and so he has trouble navigating romance.
They meet and end up confiding in each other, deciding to enter into a practice
romance to help each other prepare to find love.
Once Smitten, Twice Shy was a sweet and spicy romance
brimming with chemistry! There was a great foundation of friendship first
making their connection more profound. Both Juliet and Will were likeable characters
and so thoughtful with each other. It made my heart swoon! I also appreciated
there was no third act breakup!
As a side note I love the beautiful cover! It perfectly depicts
Will and Juliet in a scene from the book. The same with the other covers in the
series.

Book Description:
Star-crossed lovers learn that practicing romance leads to the perfect happy ending in this steamy reimagining of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
Since heartbreak entered the scene, Juliet Wilmot, once a hopeless romantic, has sworn off love. But when she's presented with the chance to revisit romance-purely for practice-with the gorgeous, off-limits guy she keeps serendipitously running into, it feels like a sign from the universe.
Quiet, shy Will Orsino knows happily-ever-after isn't on his horizon. Problem is, for the sake of the family business, marriage is. Resigned to the inevitable, but with no confidence he can woo a wife, he can hardly say no when fate hands him the alluring, unattainable woman he keeps crossing paths with, offering to help him learn the ropes of romance.
Neither of them looking for love, Jules and Will agree they're the perfect pair to practice romance. Except that practicing to perfection leads to an irresistible attraction. Their once smitten hearts, though still twice shy, might have happily-ever-after written in the stars for them, after all.
