Every single page was magical. The first series where I gave every book 5 stars. I thought AE did her big one with All I’ve Wanted, All I’ve Needed because the way i fell in love with that story blew my socks off. However, every book after got better and better. Like how the hell do you do that ma’am? Talk about almost a 500 page book and not one single word, sentence, or paragraph went to waste. AE has the ability to make you smile from within while reading her books. I don’t know which couple i like the most but i for sure love them all. Risa Belle and Asher’s connection/bond might put them a little over the others. 

Asher just like Ace and Kyrell are BDE. When they love you best believe it is with every ounce of them. Asher handled her with so much care and tentativeness that he had me smitten. He spoke affirmations to our girl. That man that man that man. Asher and Risa both have stories from their up bringing that makes one understand why love to them is a touchy topic. Neither should have to go through any of that. On the upside they both made something of themselves and one can say when the right person came they both would know it. Love that they both were successful. AE is going to write some bomb ass friend groups that have amazing careers. Anyways, the banter between them was so damn good to the point how could they not be ment for each other. They accepted one another as they are and that’s beautiful. Proud that we get to see both mcs use their voice to let people in their family know how they’ve hurt them. There’s no growth and moving forward if y’all can’t discuss how you’ve got there in the first place. Asher was big on family. I would love to visit Little Slice of Heaven.

Reese was a piece of work! Straight trash to the 100th power. Then you got thirsty Francesca that can’t take a clue. It was funny to see her get upset when she had no room too. When Asher go buddy all the way together outside of the yoga business LOL. Matter of fact the agent part Asher did had me rolling. That man is a true gem. The very end of the book was perfect. Full circle moment.

Highlights: 
-“Give me your fucking worst and I’ll give you my best.”
-Them on the horses, him playing in her hair, and the kisses on the head.  
-“Would the regret be more bearable than the outcome of the risk?” 
-“There’s a difference between what i allow people to see and what i allow them to know.”
-“Risa, you could be with a million other people, and you’ll always think of me.”
-“I was in the dark not realizing I’d need someone to turn on the light.”
-“I don’t want your peace. Give me your chaos.” 
-“You can fall apart with me. I’ll keep you safe.”
-THE SPICE IS TOP NOTCH BABY!
