OHH MYY GODD

lauren roberts has single-handedly become one of my favorite authors via this series. not only does the dialogue portray the yearning and unintended devotion of the characters to each other, but her writing in general is so beautiful. the ending has left me in shambles and i am anxiously awaiting her next masterpiece

jacks is just a poor, misunderstood baby. i was giggling and kicking my feet this whole book. then the end came along and fucked everything up

THE ENDING. WHAT

“ask me instead”

i'm underwhelmed tbh

a little bit predictable, but wow! love this storyline and gideon....damn. can't wait for the next one!

this one really reminded me what a fucked up world we live in. the intensity had me on the edge of my seat, such a good book.

am i giving a novella 5 stars? yes. bc lauren roberts can write a DAMN GOOD book. i wish it were longer. currently sobbing my eyes out, ty very much.

small town, found family romances get me every time

• this was really good! i loved the plot, loved elowen, and loved the romance
• my only complaints are as such:
1. i didn't feel like this book required nearly 600 pgs. there were some parts i felt were dragged on 2. the enemies to lovers lasted like five seconds. they didn't get together until the very end, but it was obvious they liked each other from the start. it wasn't enemies so much as they both liked to argue lol
• but genuinely other than that, i would have given this book 5 stars, and i cannot wait for the next one

what an ending

incredible. i could not put this one down - best one in the series!

(reread 2024): not quite as unbelievable as I remembered but still good!

i wish men were this romantic in real life

the found family in this book makes me so happy:)

omg the plot twist??? insane. this was so good

my brain hurts just thinking about the pure genius that is sjm. those last 100 pages had my jaw on the FLOOR. i need HOFAS right now

my thought after fininshing:
- xaden is my fav
- xaden is hot
- the ending.........
- when is the next book coming out?

to say this was a roller coaster of emotions would be an understatement.

i'm terrified for our society if we think this is a good book.

writing this review through my tears. my heart is shattered

this book put my brain in a mental fog that makes me question life itself. i loved it.

i miss you, i'm sorry - gracie abrams

i just love small town romances. the found family makes my heart melt
