This is the good stuff right here. Ghost Teague can call me a good girl any time he wants. šš¤¤
Loverboy by Lauren Gilley

What a sad, but healing story. Tangoās journey is a tough pill to swallow, but Iām grateful for Laurenās tactful writing that focused on Tangoās trauma in a respectful, but emotionally compelling way.
Secondhand Smoke by Lauren Gilley
P.S. Some of the scenes in this one were quite sad. IYKYK. š©

Wow. I didnāt think I would end up liking Aidenās storyāheās an immature player whoās ridden on the success of the clubās coattails since the start of the series. However, I really loved this book. Seeing him have to make hard choices and live with the consequences of his actions really helped mature him and turn him into a character I admire, and I inhaled this story in under 24 hours. Not only was Aidenās romance compelling, but the plot was fast-paced and action packed!
āBeing a part of your club is like breathing secondhand smoke. It doesnāt hurt at first. But by the time the damage is done, itās too late to do anything about it. And then it kills you.ā

The Skeleton King by Lauren Gilley
4.0
Another banger in the Dartmoor series. Honestly, Iām thrilled beyond belief that I gave this author a chance because I am obsessed! This book is about Walsh and Emmie, and I loved the two of them! The plot was so good, and the writing was amazing as always. And Ms. Lauren Gilleyāmaāamāthat ending! Immediately diving into book 4, Secondhand Smoke, now!
This is THE MC series to read. Iām so damn impressed with this.

Hmmmm. I don't know if it was my mood that made this book not hit quite right or what. All I know is that this had many elements that should have worked for me (in theory), but ended up feeling like a chore to read some of the time. I do think I will continue the series, but for some reason, this book just didn't hook me the way I was hoping it to. Could be my mood, thoughāI'm not ruling out my bitchiness.
Half My Blood: A Dartmoor Novella by Lauren Gilley
5.0
The level of investment I feel in these fictional characters lives cannot be healthy, but Iāve never claimed to be normal. The Lean Dogs have a new family member: me. Lauren Gilley is a wordsmith and she just makes you feel like these characters are your brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, family and friends. Itās beautiful.
No matter what Hollywood pretended, outlaws would never be in style. It was impossible to be popular when your arms were orange and blue and red and black with ink.
Price of Angels by Lauren Gilley
Now onto book 2.5, Half My Blood!

This series is everything. Iām loving the characters, the additional complexities of the overarching series plot, and the characters. Michaelās romance with Holly was so beautiful, and I loved getting many Ava and Mercy POVās since I was not ready to let them go from their book, Fearless! If you want a series to consume you, this is one you can happily get lost in.
Mercy sighed noisily. āManā¦ā He shook his head. āCan I give you a piece of advice? One fucked-up whackjob to another? We donāt get a whole lot of good things handed to us in this life. When a very beautiful girl is brave enough to actually want to stick around, you donāt let her go.ā
Michael lifted his brows.
āYou marry her, and you hope to God she never comes to her senses.ā
Now onto book 2.5, Half My Blood!
Fearless by Lauren Gilley
5.0
The most perfect MC romance. Holy shit. Lauren Gilley has a new reader for life. Full review to come when I can wrap my mind around how to write something that will do this book justice.
It was so perfect, and it was so disastrous. āAnd theyād be sliced to bits before it was all over.

I will never look at a Furby the same way again š

The characters were actually really cute. Griffin is the sweetest rockstar Iāve ever read about, and Lucaās character was kind and relatable. This story just didnāt hold my interest š„±. It was too sweet š for me š¤·š»āāļø, but I can see this book working well for people who enjoy sweeter romances.
P.S. This audiobook is included in the Audible Plus program if you add the book to your KU library, and itās narrated in dual style by Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan!
