Smitten is the perfect title for this book because you will end up smitten with Fish, with Ally, with the secondary characters, and the adorable way Fish and Ally fall in love. Let me quickly toss out that it was a huge treat to get to check in with the Morgan clan! I was tickled anytime their names popped up!

The music that was added in... especially with the audio version, was beyond anything I've heard before. The audiobook is the way to go with Smitten! You'll be missing out on several unique ear treats that the audiobook gives that the books just can't. Lauren Rowe seriously created a song called Smitten. So even if you don't listen to the audiobook, make sure you visit Miss Rowe's FB page or her website to hear the song. I adored it so darn hard!! I might have listened a few (cough 6 or so cough) times.

Fish is impossible to not adore right from the start. He just has that likeable personality. He's all about Ally from the first time he gazed at her purple swimsuit. Fish and Ally's way of self-deprecation seemed to endear them to each other even more and they were both so adorable! Lauren Rowe has outdone herself... Smitten is one of those books that caught my attention and my heart from the very first words.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail.

I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull—but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.

When she laughed—and I mean, really laughed—I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers.

At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks.” Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.

I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan.

I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do.

Smitten is an all-new standalone friends to lovers romance!
