    These two books are seriously, seriously, seriously (I can't stress this enough!) Amazing! The female leads in both are like little sunshines, witty and humorous, throwing out joke after joke until you're grinning from ear to ear. The male leads in both are incredibly doting on their wives, loving them dearly and going through all the crazy and silly things with them. I understand their childishness, it all feels so real! Both are sweet romances with no angst (the appearance of female supporting characters only deepens the relationship between the male and female leads, and there are no misunderstandings). You won't be able to stop reading once you start, it's definitely worth it! They're so good I've reread them several times and still don't get tired of them. Plus, in both novels, the male lead falls in love first and then slowly "wins over" his wife. The author of the second book also writes other great sweet stories. [Kissing emojis]
