Considering how long this book was, it was a whole lot of nothing.

There was cute moments and lines here and there but overall a huge let down.

The TAB was so stupid and messy and hypocritical. Like I get it he promised he wouldn't race but it was just weird.

I really didn't feel chemistry between Asher and Scarlett. The begging was great but it fell off really quickly and was blah the rest of the time

There was tension when Vincent was in town but after he left it was like it disappeared so the forbidden aspect vanished.

Maybe I'm being too critical but for how hyped this book was, and how much I liked her other books, I expected more

Full review once I'm done part two

But I will say I stayed up until 1am to finish this so take that as you will

Best friends to lovers MM.

I felt that once penn realized his feelings for Madden, it was 0 to 200 real quick. Straight to needing Madden.

I liked how supportive Penn was of Madden's nudist and naturalist-ness

They work together, are best friends, but penn still feels lonely. But he doesn't make an effort to get to know the Bertha house boys and resents madden for being around them sometimes.
It was very humanizing of him and I like seeing them work through that. Even if the jealousy was childish.

The angst and grovelling in this!!!!! All the alphas said they would be better and they did. Actions and words full of apology. Our FMC didn't back down and stood up for herself which we love.

This is a really good omegaverse duet.
Suspenseful slow burn, with an FMC with a traumatic past.

It was cute and fluffy, considering we touched on the topic of grief.

I liked the age gap, summer fling, grumpy sunshine vibes.

I feel like they threw the Lacey underwear, nail polish, and lip gloss thing in there without really getting into it. Like would have liked hearing more about it but it was giving “oh I wiggled my painted toes in the grass” and “I saw his lace when he bent over” I wanted a bit more with that

Zoomed right through this.
Loved rush and Hunter!!!!

Rush was always quirky and absent minded in previous books, but he's so sweet. And so loyal. Loves his people in big Bertha. Can't help but want to give him a hug.

While he met Hunter in ideal circumstances the two compliment each other so so well.

Hunter is his calm.

Expectations were high, but this missed the mark.
The timeline jumps were confusing occasionally, and I hate to say it but I found Mason almost pathetic

3.5 rounded up

Very much team Molly, and happy to finally see his HEA from the previous series.

I like seven, and I like him with Molly but overall the book was average!

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the guys in the Bertha house and their stories.

Ya know it was adorable, light hearted, and fun.

Has this been done before? Probably. But it was cute I had a good time so that's all there is to it.

Hockey player x fan, mm, different tax bracket financially, found family, and goofy friends.

We love a sweet and vulnerable MMC!

A classic Saxon universe read.

Christian was sooooo sweet. And seeing his roommate Gabe (from foolish puckboy) was cool.

Emile gave off such carefree vibes but he is definitely more than meets the eye

I think royal may be my favourite king.

This was very fun!! A bit meta with the whole black cat golden retriever thing, but otherwise fun and light hearted.

The dirty talk was chefs kiss.

I am so obsessed with this series!!!

Loved learning about Alpha.

The twists and turns were so thrilling.

Really really fun. I always enjoy this author, and this series is a chefs kiss.

It was a really good friends to lovers, dating coach, roommates, hockey romance.

The praise kink in this was SOO GOOOD.

Already can't wait for the next

Spectacular and flawless.
I love Tristan, but Dante is where it's at. Dante is everything.

This was absolutely addicting I could not put this down.

Amara is a fighter!!!! She may be soft and quiet but that does not make her weak.

I really enjoyed this. It gave enemies vibes but not quite.
I would have liked more of Gwen!!!

When she and Alex were together it was like fire, and I liked them together a lot.

3.5 rounded up.

I liked Reed, but I don't think Lila deserved him. He's way too good. He was so so sweet and charming. A total teddy bear.
I understand Lila's insecurities but she put a lot of it on him, and it wasn't fair.

A lot of nice callbacks to the previous books and characters, nice to see them again and grown up.

I knew I would be getting into an emotional hurt/comfort but I was still not prepared.

I think I cried the entire time. It was so sad and so emotional. Everyone is hurt and everyone is trying.

Heart breaking and beautiful marriage in crisis, grief, loss, and finding yourself while trying to move on

Mixed feelings. I really really loved Miller, and I want nothing more than for him to be happy.

That being said, I felt like Delane kind of misled him with their “lessons”. After learning she is also a virgin, I'm curious as to why she wanted to give him sex lessons when she didn't know much herself? And a cock cage as lesson 2, after lesson 1 being kissing??? That was wild.

I get it was a fem-Dom romance so I expected her to be more dominant, but her having no experience kind of felt off.

Oh this was so damn good.
Better than the first one, a duet of Tristan and Morana. This is their second and final book in this series but I suspect we will see them again.

SO full of angst and suspense. It was so strong and I loved every moment.
Very intense love, and full of mafia drama.

This one I am unsure about. I enjoyed it. It was very good in the end, but I had a hard time getting into the beginning.

It was a dark mafia book without ever really explaining the mafia aspect, which was a vibe. It was all enemies. Barely any benefit. Shelved with no third act breakup because they aren't even really together

Morana was a woman who knew her worth and wasn't a damsel. Which I loved, and felt relatable. She took no shit but played the part of mafia boss daughter well.

Tristan Caine can GET IT. His sex appeal and those eyes.

The knife to the throat??? It was a lot but overall a very good dark romance.

So. Sweet. Atticus doesn't say much but he thinks before he speaks so you know he means his words.

It was wonderful to see him Goldie, bright and positive personality, work through his grumpy and greasy exterior to find the softie underneath.

A lot of mental health rep, and working on yourself before you're reading to work at a relationship.

Later in life (meaning late 30s early 40s).

I thought this was SO GOOD.

Some parts repetitive, but I really really enjoyed.

I liked that neither MC was perfect. They had flaws and worked together to be better. Like yes Beck had her trust issues and doubts and sensitivities but Beau was always there. Even when he was hurt or angry he was there.

It felt very healthy, even with Beck trying to sabatoge things on occasion (consciously or not)

And Beau was so cute and sweet and swoony. And KINKY!!!
Loved loved loved.

The honorary Morgan brother. He was so self aware and sweet!! The sexiest cinnamon roll there ever was.

Body guard/pop star romance. Full of insta love, he falls first, and forced proximity.

So damn good!!!! I need a Jake in my life.

He was so damn sweet. He got all her bathroom and shower products to have in his house for sleepovers

Very adorbsicles!

It got a bit much, but I knew Keane was a lot going into it but I started to get over it by the end.

BUT his and Maddy's road trip was so cute and wholesome.
