Love, Utley: Love Letters Book One: 1 Paperback – 27 Jun. 2024

I ADORED this book. I read ‘Tackled in the Stacks’ and immediately started ‘Love, Utley’ as I needed to know what happened with these two!!!Hannah, jeez, this girl just didn’t catch a break for a while.She was loyal and loving and changed her life to take care of the people most important to her.I understood why she tried to avoid Maddox initially, let’s face it, who wants to deal with the guy who ghosted you after you’d pretty much laid out your feelings in the past, but when the truth came out, all bets were off. This pair couldn’t stay away.Maddox, boyoboy, this guy!!!!! I loved how determined he was when it came to a getting a second chance with Hannah. He was understandably peeved that she abruptly disappeared and he never heard from her again but he knew how he felt all those years ago and those thoughts and feelings hadn’t changed all that much over time. That he took note of what and who were important to Hannah and his relationships with her mum and niece were heartwarming.I was kinda mad at the whole Brandon and workplace situation but how things worked out settled my ire!This was a feel good read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.The nickname, all the things that lead back to Hannah that showed her Maddox hadn’t ever forgotten about her…. I loved it all!Liked meeting Nate, Max and Tony and am hoping the three of them get a book at some stage.I’m pretty sure I’m gonna enjoy this series and I cannot wait for Dear Rosie.

Finally, got round to reading this book! I've been desperate to read it since the Alliance Series ended.I absolUtely thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was just perfectly romantic and hit all the right heartstrings at the right time.  Did I enjoy it as much as the Alliance Series? No, obviously its a totally different genre. I just found that I missed the authors humour in this one.   Still a fabulous read and highly recommend it.

This girl can’t write books fast enough for my obsessive reading. I have loved everyone of her books & have sped read them within days & this book was no diff. Her writing makes them epic, although the premise of the stories isn’t always realistic in an everyday type of way, the character developments & story telling make them resonate. The pace & details are always spot on. But what I really love about her books is the dialogue, I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is but it is just chefs kiss. Highly recommend reading this book & all her others (I love how they’re the series are loosely intertwined). Can’t wait for next in this series!

I am completely obsessed with this story, I absolutely adored every single minute I spent reading, this was such a great book, it was filled with non-stop swooning moments that had me kicking my feet and giggling like a 15 year old up until the very end.I loved getting to see Hannah and Maddox be there for each other, opening themselves up to love. I found this book had such a beautiful ending to their story and how it all tied down in the end, to take out the thorns of their past, of the misunderstandings and everything even after 15 years they never forgot each other, just beautiful in every way.🥹💘

SJ Tilly is my autobuy author I love everything she writes. Absolutely loved Maddox. Loved how him and Hannah always loved each other was a very cute happy read. Love an Alpha male that stakes their claim. Looking forward to the next one.

After the high of the Alliance series I was ready to dive head first into another SJ series. Unfortunately I found myself quite bored during this book. I do like the author’s style of writing but ultimately I just couldn’t get on board with the story. Meeting for a week then 15 years goes by, hmmmm I don’t really buy it and I’m a second chance lover!! I just didn’t believe in this second chance. The characters had so much potential but the story was just mundane.

This woman does it again with a book that has so much soul and a great story. I have to say I’m yet to read a book by this author that I didn’t like. I like the self chance story, the way Maddox and Hannah are attracted to each other and they admit their feelings. I love the relationship with Chelsea and the banter is great.

⭐️4 stars⭐️ 🌶️🌶️Loved this book!!! Second chance romance after they lost touch. She now finds out he owns the company she works for. It’s a shock as she hasn’t seen him or heard a word from him since she left.I love these two so much!! The book was so good too! I want to thank s.j for allowing me an arc to this book I am so grateful and loved it 🫶🫶🫶

Ninguém escreve FMCs forças tão bem qto a SJ Tilly!!Acho que de todos os livros dela eu só não li um e Love, Utley é com certeza o meu favorito, eu já li duas vzs até.O Maddox é um fofo e a Hannah é do tipo que não deita pra ninguém. Eu amei demais!!

Absolutely incredible!!!! Infinity stars!!! ♾️⭐️Everything that SJ writes is amazing and funny and entertaining but this was all of those things, and different and sooooooo swoony, in the best way!!!!🩵Loves to Distance to Love💙Workplace Romance🩵Retired Football Player💙Plus Size FMC🩵Alpha Hero💙First Loves🩵Absolutely Amazing ♾️⭐️I was prepared to love and fight everyone for Maddox but I didn’t expect to love Hannah just as much! Girl is amazing!!! She doesn’t sit idly by, waiting for her prince to take care of her! She fights for what is hers, what she worked hard for. She takes care of those she loves. The way her and Maddox meet is adorable, then something happens and they are reunited and still sooooo perfect for each other. Hannah, I won’t steal your man, instead I’ll route you both on, because gosh you both are sooooo perfect for each other. I loveddddd this book sooooo much!!!And Mr. Lovelace, you are everything and soooo much more! You had me swooning, re-reading paragraphs, and laughing hysterically, again I was ready to fight all these thirsty ladies for you, but instead, I will protect you and Hannah from them, because you both deserve your happily ever after!!!This book has a little bit of everything for everyone. It has a swoony love story. It has some suspense. It has some are they enemies or misunderstood to lovers! It will have you laughing, falling hard for these two, routing for their love. It is just absolutely amazing!!! ♾️⭐️ ♾️⭐️

“That’s right, Little Bunny, you can run, but I’m going to chase.”Listen, if S.J writes it it’s a guarantee that I will devour it and these characters will live rent free for the next while. Maddox and Hannah have such a special story and I couldn’t wait to see how it played out.“You’ve been mine since that night in the library.”These two shared an unforgettable week in university before Hannah disappears without a trace leaving Maddox with a lot of questions. 15 years later, he is surprised to find her working at the business he just bought. Once she is in his sets again, he is on a mission to make her his because after all the time, he still craves her like his next breathe.“Mad Dog Maddox was impressive in his twenties, but in his thirties, he’s a force.”I loved watching them reconnect and see that their chemistry has just gotten hotter during the years they were apart. Hannah has spent years taking on her family responsibilities and it was great to see someone who is solely focused on supporting her and making her happy.“I am your boyfriend. And I’m the last one you’ll ever have.”Their journey has their challenges but it’s broken up with spice and top tier banter.As always, I’m so intrigued by this new addition to the Tilly world and I can’t wait for this series to continue.

This a 5 star book for me. I really loved it even if i think 15 years are too much for the 2 mcs to be apart. I cant wait to see who is next.

A real gem. Hannah and Maddox are absolutely adorable and their interactions are so hot. Maddox is such a dirty talker.
