On Cloud Nine (Perks & Benefits Book 3)
L**S
So good!
I have loved the whole Perk and Benefits series so far but this is definitely my favourite! Matthew and Molly have the most beautiful chemistry and healthy communication. There is no third act break up as everything is always resolved. The spicy scenes are some of my favourite ever (library,forest, art) and now definitely need some elf ears! Cannot wait for book 4 - would so recommend this whole series!

cute marriage of convenience/fake dating romance
4.5⭐️— my first ever arc did not disappoint!!! molly and matthew’s story was so wonderful and i just absolutely loved the story!!in order to help molly out, matthew agrees to a fake marriage with her in order to get her trust fund and they split it after the divorce. all they need is her parents approval and to keep their crushes on each other under control. guys the pining was too cute 🥹🥹🥹as a folklore girlie, molly being a mirrorball really connected with me and i loved seeing her journey throughout the book! from having big curly hair like me, to constantly feeling like she has to do right by everyone else, especially her family made her super relatable and easy to connect with.matthew was wonderful. a book boyfriend i loved reading about!! he was so attentive and kind. he really cares about molly and i love that the fluffy romance was there from the start! plus i love how they were both fantasy fans and it was such a cute little character trait for both of themmy fav tropes in this book were the one bed trope, fake dating and forced proximity so if you love those tropes and more then this book is for you <3now brb while i go back to the beginning of this series and read book 1 and 2 🤭🤍

Adore with my whole soul
I truly fell in love with Molly and Matthew. These two were so awkward around each other to begin with but they really came into their own but it was so adorable to watch. They had so much chemistry and the tension that built up between them was glorious!I felt so connected to Molly as a character and her anxiety. I felt like it was handled so well. Her journey in this story was beautiful and heartwarming.Matthew is a man I dream of. He is so sweet and as they say it’s always the quiet ones…. He is the ultimate book boyfriend, he is patient and kind and loves so fiercely.I adored how well these two communicated, they’re a match made in heaven. They worked through the ups and downs and were there for each other always.I have loved every book in the Perks & Benefits series so far, but On Cloud Nine holds a very special place in my heart. I adore this book so much.

A cute fake dating romance!
Age gap. 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠. Billionaire heiress. 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 Shy, nerdy cat daddy, and fake dating, 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 and 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠!Kels and Denise knocked it out of the park with 𝗢𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲. Matthew and Molly were so, so perfect for each other. Even before they began dating, they were both good friends and colleagues, who cared deeply for each other— seeing that blossom into their relationship, through their tender moments and shared interests was so precious, I could literally feel their intimacy that they shared and how they brought out the best in each other.I loved getting to know them in such an in depth way, as they both made appearances in the first two books. I had a feeling that Matthew and Molly’s book may trump, 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲, in being my favourite of the series so far, and it has, but all the right reasons. It was everything I could have expected and more! ☁️🩷Thank you to Kels and Denise Stone for the arc opportunity, this is my honest review.
F**E
the best yet
On Cloud Nine was perhaps Kels and Denise’s best work yet. It has aspects of fun and flirty while being able to dig deep into the hard hitting emotions.Molly and Matthew were literal perfection. by perfect sunshine characters. I loved seeing Molly grow with each page and take back the reins of her own life while learning to love herself and Matthew. Matthew was the perfect book boyfriend oh my god. He was so kind, caring and loving - all which is the recipe to perfection. He was so soft with molly it made me want to cry in some scenes.All together, it was a pairing built on care & trust and it made for an incredible read. a true five star read for me, and I can’t wait for what’s to come from the duo!

matly owns me 🥹☁️🪩🐈🩷
thank you so much to the authors for the arc!!! 😚the easiest five stars I’ve ever given, this book was so cozy and warm, matly is everything to me 💖molly ❤️ my billionaire fashion icon, I absolutely loved her. She was funny and smart and caring, I loved the way she was so vulnerable and felt her emotions so strongly. Her journey and openness with mental health was so inspiring. Seeing her grow from a people-pleasing, mirrorball girly to a confident woman who is sure of herself was very personal to me, her character development is so palpable, you can just see her grow with each chapter 🤧 her family struggles, the way she handles her feelings, and her anxiety we’re all so relatable. I loved seeing her feel free from the expectations of other people & understand that she has to live for herself. I loved her story and her development, it was so emotional and touching & I just want to hug her 🫂matthew 🐈 the definition of a perfect book boyfriend. I loved how sweet, caring and attentive he was. He was a very real and personal character for me, his struggles with not feeling like he’s enough & his fertility issues touched my heart. I loved how his experience in past relationships prompted his internal conflict but he didn’t let it be a barrier in his relationship. I loved seeing him get past his fears and insecurities. Also, the mouth on this man?!?!?!?! my consent & praise king 🧎🏻♀️I loved him so much & I just want to protect him from the world 🤺matly 💘 their relationship is what truly made me fall in love with this book. Their love was so pure and genuine and raw and real. They communicated with and understood each other so well. Their relationship progressed so naturally. It was built on trust and you could feel how fiercely their love for each other was🥺 but also their dynamic was just so.. HOT?!?! like their banter, THE SPICE, the cosplay, reenacting romanatasy scenes?!?!?! I LOVE THEMthe plot and premise of this book was so good!!! the age gap was handled so well & the fake dating/engagement of convenience was so fun. I loved seeing matly push past the boundaries of faking it and experimenting with their feelings for each other. I was LIVING for the luvery and lico cameos!! I also loved the pets & the ending was so perfect for matly🥹I’m having such a hard time deciding if our scorching summer or this one is my favorite but I don’t have to pick 🤭 kels and denise stone are one of my favorite authors, their writing is incredible, the pacing throughout all their books is perfect & their stories just tug at my heart strings every time!! I truly love these authors and they can do no wrong in my eyes 💗this is the third book in the perks and benefits series: a forced proximity, age gap, fake dating romcom with a nerdy cat daddy and a billionaire heiress 🤭 go pick up the entire series & thank me later!!! 💓

On Cloud Nine Review!
Our Scorching Summer was the first book from the Perks & Benefits series I’ve read, and I was absolutely obsessed. After reading Water Under The Bridge, I knew from then on that I’d read anything written by Kels and Denise Stone!I was lucky enough to receive an eARC of On Cloud Nine.I wasn’t sure if any couple could top Lily and Nico, but Molly and Matthew?…😍This book was easily a 5-star read for me!I don’t think I’ve ever loved a female main character as much as I love Molly Greene. She is so down to earth, thoughtful, kind, and overall a very relatable character. I think many people can see parts of themselves in Molly and can relate to some of her struggles and feelings. I found myself rooting for her from the very beginning, and I loved seeing her flourish.Matthew Hudson is simply a dream. The sweetest man with the dirtiest of mouths. He is so genuine, caring, and is so supportive of Molly. I mean, a cat dad who cares about the environment, knows how to cook, does crossword puzzles, and is kinda nerdy? The perfect man and boyfriend.Their love is so sweet and gentle, and they are so patient with each other. This book had me swooning the entire time. I don’t think I have ever highlighted in a book as much as I did in On Cloud Nine. And the spice? Man. It was hot.On Cloud Nine is comfort in the form of a book, and I already want to reread it.If you’re considering reading On Cloud Nine (or any other book from the Perks & Benefits series), do it!! You won’t regret it ☺️

Such a great read!
On Cloud Nine was so cozy, cute, and spicy! It’s cheesy at times, but that's cool, and the romance feels genuine and giddy! I enjoyed the setup of this, which included a combination of secret crush/fake dating. Both Molly and Matthew, coworkers and friends, have a financial incentive to marry each other. Here are a few things that drew me to the book:+Molly’s super capable, but still finding herself; she shyly initiates her bedroom fantasies, including some romantasy inspo ✨🌶️✨+Matthew’s a nerdy, save the environment entrepreneur, cat dad; confident and giving 🤓😻😏+one bed, fake dating/secret crush, praise, and more fun spice+great tension, spice starts around 1/3 in ⏱️

Matthew Hudson is HUSBAND MATERIAL
They have done it again. I don’t think I will ever be over On Cloud Nine. I love the previous books but really On Cloud Nine is my absolute favorite book of theirs. The writing style is exquisite and they really capture and bring the attention of deeper aspects of their characters to life.Molly Greene is the definition of a Mirrorball Girl. I instantly connected with her and found myself relating to her to her character. I adored seeing her journey throughout this book – watching her change from her people-pleasing ways to finding the freedom of being herself was so rewarding. She is also a FMC that most girls can relate to. Molly is constantly torn between two versions of herself – the one her parents expect her to be, and her true self.Matthew “Cat Daddy” Hudson – an absolutely perfect book boyfriend. He is a green-flag, healthy boundaries, consent King who treats Molly like the queen she deserves to be – he later realizes that she is. He constantly had her back and was there for her through all the crap her parents put her through. I loved seeing his character grow throughout the books and seeing him overcome his insecurities and fears in a relationship – I loved him so much. He is undoubtedly one of the most swoon-worthy men ever written by Kels & Denise. He in the bedroom is just - in the best and hottest way ever. It’s always the quiet ones.I loved their moments at the On Cloud Nine resort – it added so much fun to the book. Also, the way they talked about male infertility in this book was so well written – the way Molly and Matthew worked through it together was so beautiful. These two brought out the best parts of each other and were able to grow & create this genuine relationship built on trust and care. Molly & Matthew were so adorable together & knew exactly what the other needed which made the whole story so beautiful.
