This is stinkin cute!!!!! I ate this up so fast. I loved Henrik so so much. He was immediately at ease and comfortable with Mal as his escort/companion. Mal was immediately accommodating which Is bare minimum but Henrik didnāt have that before with this previous escorts.
They adapted to each other so quickly and became quick friends to becoming more.
I have such a soft spot for age gap MM romance where the older MC has a chronic illness or disability.
While heās stubborn about it, Henrik has a wonderful community and support system for his blindness. He has a specific way he needs things in order to live life comfortable and Mal just so quickly melted into that.
It was fun, and I KNOW this author loves short chapters, but it felt very choppy this time around.
There was a lot of quick back and forth between POVās to where it almost felt disconnected.
That being said. It was a low angst and light hearted boss/employee age gap in the mountains romance. Cutesy and fun
I found it odd the FMC has zero friends ???
This took me soooo long to get through. Not because of how long it is but I feel like it didnāt hold my attention until like 65% of the way through.
I feel like I wanted to like this more, because previous Tal books for me have been an easy 5 stars. This one just didnāt hit it for me!
The insta love was VERY insta, I loved Brennan and thought the was sweet, he and Reese had their cute moments. The pacing of it, or maybe the back and forth timelines just didnāt do it for me.
As far as surprise pregnancies go, this one was adorable.
Tanner was down bad and a total simp over Millie. He was a total puppy over her and I loved him.
Their families were a LOT but I am so glad they both got the HEA.
I really really love the New York Lionās universe and Iāll be sad to see it go. š©·
3.5!
I love KM as an omegaverse author, I loved the male omega and female alpha concept, butttttt this was blah
It had good elements but it was almost too long or maybe I didnāt care about the conflict enough?
After about 75% I found myself forcing to keep going
The pack moments were excellent, I just donāt think I cared about Omnikron or the bad guys
Super super interesting concept!!
How they didnāt recognize or piece together it was them so many timesā¦.
And how were they thinking about sex in a tunnel in a life or death situation?!
Besides thatā¦ super angsty and heart wrenching. The letters and time jumps were heart breaking.
Actually love this series so so much š
Influenced to read this by Kate on TikTok - SO HAPPY.
This was so perfect - I loved the rivals to lovers, it was done super super well.
It was fun, the sneaking around and figuring out what they both liked. The bit of kink added to the spice perfectly.
Colton was SO fun to read about. He was scared and hesitant, but not ashamed of his newfound bi-discovery. It didnāt compute but he kept trying. And when he ran away, put up his walls, he always came back to Noah.
Noah is possessive AF in a very good way, and being attracted to Colton barely phased him. I like how dominant he was and pushed Colton but never past the limit.
I liked how sweet they were once together, and how they still were competitive but in a healthy normal fun way with their jobs.
āI hate youā really meant āI love youā

Absolutely loved this.
After meeting Gray in the first book with Victor, so so happy he gets his HEA.
Age gap, and total opposites, Gray and Jonah make the perfect family. Jonah was very scatter brained at times, and would blab a lot when he felt uncomfortable or awkward, he was charming and breathed life and excitement into Grayās world of plans and spreadsheets.
Their sexy first encounter on a flight, to city boy gray moving to middle of nowhere cornfield town to be with Jonah. Love that development for him.
Gray loved Jonah so quietly and beautifully. How he figured out Jonah was dyslexic, and accommodating his stump in small subtle ways that didnāt demean or diminish, just quietly support. He knows heās still capable but heās able to just be leaned on.
The pining in this!
A wonderful example of second chances, yearning, and grovelling.
Felix and Max started as casual hookup, and grew to FWB. Both agree to casual and no more.
It became more, but neither wanted to acknowledge or admit it. Felix was brave and eventually asked for more, knowing that Max was in love with someone else.
The heart break I felt after Felix left Max, standing up for himselfā¦.
Max is charming and earnest. He is loyal to a fault sometimes, but with Felixās quick whit and attitude, they compliment each other so well.
Oh I loved this!!!!! It was adorable, and beautiful.
I really felt the pain and heartache that Ethan felt.
I loved how he was so brave, going on a honeymoon by himself while being hard of hearing. I thought the disability was represented really well.
And his tour guide, Clay, was so cute and patient with him. Insta friends, turned into lovers.
I chose this, despite having a severe ick towards books with āpuckingā in the title, because I read The Wrong Quarterback and really enjoyed it. Itās a spin off of this series, so it made sense to get into this one.
All the regrets!
I donāt know why the high rating, because while yes this is ādark and morally grey anti-heroā it was not good.
I didnāt like the FMC, she was annoying and I didnāt think she had any backbone to stand up for herself in any aspect. Yes she had a tragic childhood but overall I just felt she lacked.
The MMC Lincoln, yes was unhinged but so delusional.
His family/home life was wild and inexcusable, but I did not find any redeeming quality for me to root for him.
Iām all for stalker/dark/obsessive but there was no reason other than she was pretty. I donāt know if it was the writing style or this specific story, but it missed the mark for me.
