I finally started an OVERHYPED (imo) book, and I didn't like it at all. When I started reading this, I was immediately in and out, I got 35% through it and had to pause it because I didn't want to DNF it and tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, but to me, it was simply boring. I resumed my reading today (Dec. 19th, 2024) and got to 38% before I decided to just DNF it. I'm not going to spend what I have left of 2024 on a book that I think is boring as hell and has childish ass MCs. You can't be boring and also have childish MCs, pick a freaking struggle.

This is my second read by Jenn, and I quite enjoyed it. I love a good enemies-to-lovers, boss-x-employee romance. I can’t get enough of them. The storyline was pretty good, and the spice was great though I thought the FMC was a bit extra sometimes. Her past was a tough pill to swallow; that girl went through it.

Dallas the man that you are! I love how supportive he becomes when he finds out about Blaire’s past trauma and how supportive he continues to be even after her accident and his attitude towards him (rightfully so? I don’t know how I feel about that whole situation with the file on her past and all). I felt so bad for her after that accident with her way of thinking. I appreciate the way Dallas’ family was towards Blaire, even before they found out about what was going on between them, it was so cute. It was a good read in my opinion.

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS BOOK. Fallon is such a badass and I was here for all of it. Kage was such a cutie, in a totally obsessed way but that’s okay. I loved how supportive he was of his woman, how he never gave up on her, and how he’d do absolutely anything for her—including barking. That entire scene might’ve been one of my favorites, top 3 for sure. My not-so-favorite scene? When Kage got hurt, my heart was in my throat because I thought he wouldn’t make it out alive. The only thing that I didn't quite like was that epilogue, I’m still confused about it.

Jena has left me with another cliffhanger, and I just can’t get enough of these books. I love that Ivy and Lex finally admit they’re important to each other, honestly, it’s what I have been waiting for. The spice in this one was so good, my favorite scene being when Lex had Ivy tied up and Carter showed up, my lawd was that 🥵. Honestly my favorite book in the series.

Just like in the last book, I didn’t trust Poppy for crap, and I was 100% on Lex’s side when it came to her. Come to think of it, I didn’t trust anyone that wasn’t the main 4. Ivy’s mother has been the absolute worst, and I don’t think it's fixable… What she did in the previous book and continues to do is unforgivable. The fact that a mother could do such a thing to her own child blows my mind. Miri’s grandmother is right behind Ivy’s mother with how horrible they are. Miri is irritating just a bit, like woman stand up to your grandmother!

I’m so excited for the next book and I’m ready to see our beloved characters kick some fairy king 🍑. I can’t wait to get the answers that I still need like, what the hell really happened to Miri in Monaco?

I’ve only ever read 1 other book by this author, and I loved it, this one, not so much. The minute the sheriff was introduced I did not like him. It was an immediate write-off, I contemplated DNFing but since it was such a short read, I decided to stick to it. My mind about the MMC did not change. The FMC seemed a little juvenile to me, but I didn't dislike her nearly as much as the MMC.

This book is so irritating. I had to DNF before finishing the 11th chapter, I refuse to put myself through 20 more chapters of their crap. The MMC is an idiot for throwing money at the problem aka the child he was not expecting from a one-night stand that disappeared before he even woke up the next morning. The FMC and her best friend are both insufferable considering the FMC is the one who left after their one-night stand without getting any sort of contact and had 9 months to come to terms with her pregnancy, then she comes back and expects the news not to completely shock the MMC, please be so FFR. The FMC’s father is no better, while I understand that he is trying to protect his GROWN ASS child he should know that her behavior is gross. When the MMC tries to do the right thing both the FMC and her best friend give him the hardest time about it. He files for shared custody and asks for visitation in the meantime and the FMC immediately calls her lawyer to have him stall on both the shared custody and visitation, that’s ridiculous. Don’t even get me started on the MMC’s fiancée who is only a fiancée because neither of them wanted feelings involved. She cares more about her career than anything else including the MMC’s feelings towards his son but refuses to break off their already fake engagement, so she just wants him to forget he has a son just to keep her happy. Homegirl can kick rocks. This was honestly a waste of a credit, and I am livid about it.

This novella was too cute. I randomly picked out The Greatest Gift from my random Christmas novella jar so I had no idea this would be an MM romance. That was such a nice surprise and it did not disappoint. I loved all the characters except for Ava the deadbeat mom. I’m excited to get into more of this author’s books. If you love a single dad, found family, bi-awakenings (in this case DOUBLE), and sweet & spicy romance, then this is for you!

I quite enjoyed this Christmas novella. Alyssa is so me, I’d love to get away from the noise for the holidays and go up to the mountains. I hated Bryan. I thought it was so weird for him to show up the way he did trying to get a reaction out of Alyssa, I’m glad she did not give him one. I love that Logan took the initiative to make up the fake relationship to help Alyssa. Now I need a full-length story for them, I need him to meet the parents and the brother who called him a “f*ckboy” on speaker lol.

I enjoyed it, had me hooked from the very first chapter but that MMC gave me the burning desire to beat him to a 🩸 pulp. He was infuriating when he would continuously say “But I’ve apologized” as if the FMC wasn’t entitled to heal on her own time. Not only did she have to put up with his abuse but she had to deal with abuse inflicted by others because they wanted to get back at the HIM.

Portia was a backstabbing snake but what’s to be expected from someone who stands by while other women are being 🍇d daily… (I didn’t expect the betrayal, in fact, it annoyed me when I found out).

Rinaya was power-hungry and a liar and I knew it the minute she spoke to Kiera.

And Grayson… what’s there to like about Grayson? The man couldn’t take a freaking hint even if you drew him a freaking map and he was just so insufferable. His ending wasn’t satisfying enough for me.

This book is for lovers of all things dark. For the love of god, as soon as you open the book you see “Please prioritize yourself and your health” so please read the content warnings before you pick this up, there are some scenes that could be triggering for many people.

This is my first Tessa Bailey book, liked it a bit, I cringed a couple of times. I’m not sure what made me cringe more, the fact that he could never find pants his size or the dialogue at times.

Luke walking away without a word after hearing her child cry was rude lol her showing up at his house afterward was insane but I guess it worked out.

“I’m going to say something for the record one time, just so it’s clear; you’re a package deal with your boy. I’m not scared of that.”

I love it when single moms get all the love, and I love it when the love interest starts to care for the child as if they were their own.

This story was just perfect, from saving Willow from a gross man to the reunion with Sage and Sloan. Sam was starting to make me mad when he kept telling Willow that he was leaving without her, the girl couldn’t have made it any clearer that she wanted to go with him and he was hellbent on leaving her behind as if she wasn’t old enough to make her own decisions so it was nice to see him give her information at the end instead of leaving her in the dark. I honestly hope that Jack keeps his word and keeps him out of the field so he can spend some much-needed time with his family. This has got to be by far my favorite book in the series, and yes, Sam’s reunion with his sisters is mainly the reason why. I’m so glad that Sage finally got the reunion she’s been hoping for. She was the only one who never gave up hope when it came to her brother. I’m super excited to get Nick’s book.
