Dominic Hurst is a man who’s always up for a challenge. Step in as director of the world’s second-largest theme park complex? No problem. Clean up the mess the previous director left behind? Sure. Have his seventeen-year-old daughter move in with him in a last-minute custody change? Bring it on.
Face off with a town full of matchmakers? Uh… what?

Oliver Jeffries is a man more than comfortable with his life. Teach teenagers to fall in love with literature? Absolutely. Tackle mindboggling tasks as head of the English department? Pass him the whip. Placate parents convinced their perfect children can do no wrong? Pfft. Child’s play.
Agree to a friends-with-benefits arrangement with the most talked-about man in Joyville? Uhm… maybe in secret?

When Dom and Oliver meet, there’s no question that friendship won’t be enough. But the citizens of Joyville don’t know the meaning of “private,” and dating the director puts Oliver firmly in the spotlight.
With the whole town watching and laying bets, is their fledgling relationship doomed to fail?

5.0 out of 5 stars Good story.

I read this book through Kindle Unlimited.
4 ½ Stars
I enjoyed this. I missed one book somewhere down the line, so I can't say if this is my favorite or not yet, but Take Us There is my favorite of those I’ve read.
These characters are interesting and relatable. Their personalities are very likable, and I enjoyed getting to know these older men and learning how they are dealing with getting past the “optimal age” (I mostly see younger characters as the lead, so…) for romance, love, lust, etc. They have settled into their bodies without all the posing and posturing you see in younger characters. They feel more real to me because of it.
It was nice to see characters from previous books and knowing that they are still doing well. These little reunions give depth to the series and added interest to the current work.
The storyline is well done, and I was quite happy to hate the "bad guy" and cheer for their defeat.
I’m sorry for this series to end.
I look forward to more from this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shocking development…
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2022

I’m on Dom’s side. I have A LOT of opinions on this book, especially the immense turmoil these MCs had to suffer through compared to the others. None of them are popular. I’m also a bit confused as to why exactly the JU arc of the story pretty much evaporates in the last book.. is this the last book? I’d like to see a few more characters get a HEA, but I’m not sure I’m up on the current plans for this universe. I have issues. I still want to know more, hear more, get closure on things, et cetera. I want to give this book full stars like the others, but I felt like it was lacking severely in several places. There’s just too much that went by the wayside, and the entire book felt like it was only an ode to how wronged Oliver was (spoiler alert: he was, but I could write a dissertation on why it wasn’t as deep and traumatizing as it was made to be for JUST him.) 7/10, hoping for at least one more book to clean up the myriad of loose ends, would recommend but also would love someone to hash this out with who isn’t solidly in the #TeamOliver camp.

If there was a theme park somewhere like this I would be all in. I'd love to live in a place that sounds as joyful as Joyville. This story sparks on some out-dated ideas and people who are stuck in the past and just plain hateful to others. I did love seeing the mature relationship bloom between to sweet men.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid wrap up to the series, emphasis on JU's impact on the community
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this wrap up to the JU series though it was not my favorite due to personal preferences.

I liked both Dominic and Oliver. I thought the author did a great job moving the focus from within JU into Joyville itself to see the impact that JU has on the community, due to the community's dependence on JU. I appreciated Cara's wish to not be known as "the director's daughter" though was curious if her instructions to dress casually and smile really were enough to not have people recognize him.

All the characters from the previous books make appearances, with Malcolm and Seth continuing to make an appearance.

With Oliver not being a JU employee, it makes the focus on Joyville make sense but I love competency porn so missed seeing behind the scenes at JU. I would have liked to know more about the company's recovery from everything Luke found and just some sense of what Dominic did besides sit in meetings. There's not even much backstory - what kinds of companies has he run and what made him a logical pick to be director. So, this is all personal preference that isn't integral to the story so I understand why it's not included.

3.0 out of 5 stars Light-hearted and sweet small town love story
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020
This is a new to me author. I really enjoyed reading her Demons do it better book and I decided to try this (even though it’s part of a series, it read very well as a standalone).

Dominic is a VIP by virtue of being in charge of a company that a town is built around for. Oliver is head of the english department at the high school where Dominic’s only child is a student. What follows is a series of events that follow Dom’s daughter’s school life that spilled over to Dom and then to Oliver and later to an actual casual dating between the two which of course resolved into an HEA.

Overall light hearted, sweet, and funny small town love story between two middle-aged and older man. I enjoyed the banter and overall story. The conflict that arose between the two might be a bit overblown though certainly understandable.

When there’s so many stories that I’ve been not able to finish recently (Pandemic does have its effect even on my reading!), I am happy to say I finished the story and fairly enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A grand finale for this amazing series
Reviewed in Mexico on October 20, 2020

I was a little sad when I read in the afterword that this was the final installment in this wonderful series. I discovered Louisa Masters because the Joy Universe series, and after 4 novels, some short stories and a Hidden species's book later I had become a huge fan. Every book is a treat, featuring endearing characters overcoming obstacles to find love and their happily ever after. Now at the end we found the core of everything, and is much more than another amazing and sweet love story. It Is about the great family of Joyville and how if you are part of them, they will be with you and become also your family. The book is the jewel of the series and the grand finale this series deserved. Loved It!

Sweet but not sickly. Not the usual ‘slight difficulties to be overcome’ story, finishing in never ending bliss. There’s a fair bit of angst and drama, and a couple of easy to hate villains for good measure - then the happy ever after, though we never do get to find out the results of the betting 😄

4.0 out of 5 stars a complicated match for two high ranking men
Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
Dom is the new director of Joy Universe, brought in to right the ship after his predecessor neglected it. His seventeen year old daughter Cara is with him to finish up high school.

Oliver learns of Cara’s conflict with an unfair teacher when Dom comes in to complain about her. From there, they become friends, add benefits, then decide to stop fooling themselves and date.

Then the teacher who gave Cara a hard time causes trouble for Oliver and Dom makes the mistake of looking at a report about Oliver’s case that he has access to because of his position.

This broken trust causes them to break up for a month, and Dom sees his mistake and Oliver also knows he overreacted.

Oliver is vindicated and the two reconcile, all is happy in Joy Universe. Good story, I like that these men are a bit older, more established, but can still find love and a future together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very satisfying
Reviewed in Australia on December 6, 2021
Verified Purchase
A nice story to finish the series with. I think I loved the dialogue most of all, especially when Cara is explaining to Dom, her father, just why she has received detention from her English teacher.
For me, dialogue drives a story and I wish there was more of it in these books as Ms Masters has a lovely dialogue style; witty and intelligent. Too much narrative and I begin to lose interest.

But all in all, this was a lovely story about two mature men finding love. Dominic and Oliver, who is the head of the English department at Cara’s high school, meet after the incident concerning Cara and her English teacher and from there, they start seeing each other, mostly without the help from their friends and colleagues, but who are still determined to ‘help’ Dom and Oliver’s romance along.

4 stars.
