⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/6.
🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5.

It's sort of weird that I ended up with the exact same rating from the first I read this. West was a bit dense in realizing wtf he was doing so that's why it ain't a 5 star but the narrators did such a good jib bringing them to life. West can just seduce you when you are reading it but with the narrator it's a whole other thing. Hot!

East is such a meany but I'm so curious about him. Travis is so violent, I wonder who he is like when he's chill. I honestly can't even imagine it.

JT putting West in his place is still one of my favorite moments in this book. The way he just puts himself first and tells it like it was amazing. I was so proud of him!

Fun fact: So I display this gorgeous cover on my bookshelf and every time I walked past it, it was always in the back of my mind so I eventually gave in and reread this.I swear this cover is trouble. 😂

* I read an arc of this book. *

I read this in one sitting and I loved it. I was nervous mid-way through the story because the secret still wasn't out and I worried West wouldn't do enough for JT to forgive him. My worries were unfounded because I think he did good and he actually managed to make me shed a tear in the end.
This really is an opposite attracts where West & JT are the complete opposite of one another, both in lifestyle and character, however they find common in the little things they both like.

West started out as this cocky, self-centered, 'get whatever/whoever I want when I want' type of guy but as you read, you see that he is also self aware. He knows he is a bit much for the common folks however he treats people in general with kindness unless he has something up his sleeves or the person is some type of authority (kind of). At first i was standoffish of him because of the type of story it was and also how he was however seeing him being nice to people who work for him showed that he isn't just the cocky, get whatever I want type of guy. He was more than that.

JT is that kid who stands out in the new school because his mom the authority at the school. He is a straight lace guy who gets straight A's until he meets West for the first time and oh yeah he is also straight... or so he thought.
He gets tangled with West because no one wants to be friends with the Dean's son and also for personal reasons West makes a move and compels JT to come out of his comfort zone and enjoy school life a bit.

When I say West was alluring and compelling, I actually mean it. That dance scene where he dances with a guy, Blake, was the moment I could actually visualize and understand JT completely. It was the way West was a Seducer, charmer, debaucher, sexy and compelling. Their connection, to me, was felt through my kindle.
I didn't like why West first approached JT however I loved the relationship they developed. I loved seeing JT embracing this new side of him when he thought he was only into girls. To be fair, i feel like anyone would be questioning their sexual orientation when face to face with West 🙈. That Park Avenue Prince is something else. 🥰

The third act break up actually did it for me although while I was reading it, I didn't think it would.
JT confronted West in the courtyard of the school and when that went down, West, JT's mom and me, were all proud of him. West 100% deserved what JT did and said. After that, it was finally time for West to make an apology tour that started with JT's mom and then JT but that kind of started after he had a "therapy session" with Donovan, one of his friends and Park Avenue Prince, which I very much appreciated.
What sealed this off for me was the little cafe and what happened inside. West really did the thing that would for sure make JT (and unexpectedly me) to forgive him. I liked that Caleb helped JT with what he did.

What didn't make this story a full 5 star was the fact that I needed an acknowledgment or an apology from the Park Avenue Princes or at least East cuz he was a bit much when all went down. I also needed one more chapter of West & JT enjoying life together. I realize they will appear in future books but it's not the same, I just needed a bit more to bask in their happiness.

I liked the majority of West's friends and I'm very intrigued to read Travis & Caleb's story cuz they have tension that's off the charts and i wanna know everything!
JT's mom was amazing. I loved how loving and understanding she was and despite everything she pushed West in the right direction when the occasion presented itself.
Overall I enjoyed myself immensely and I can't wait for the next book in this series.
I wonder if we're getting Travis next or if Miss Ella & Brooke are gonna make me wait for it. Whoever is next, I'm excited and I can't wait to be back with these guys again.

This second book is so good because it shows how much Kieran is not willing to let go while also enforcing the 'no miscommunication' stuff. He force Bash to be vulnerable for himself being vulnerable first.
It was the character grow and the acceptance of it all that made me enjoy this book so much every time I read it.
I loved these two and I want Bash as my BFF.

I LOVE Kieran and Bash!

I liked seeing Kieran not be afraid of going after what he wants even when it’s the unknown to him.
Bash is a gem, I LOVE EVERYTHING about him from the tip of his hair to his toes. He is so precious!
If Bash was a real person I would love to be his friend in fact I would be lucky to.

This had some funny lines, emotional times and sexy times and I can’t have enough!

The authors did a great job bringing Bash’s character to live and I can’t wait for the final book.

I loved this so much. It’s my second time reading this story I can’t seem to get enough of Bash and Kieran!

It’s make happy that Kieran doesn’t try to change Bash or let him put everything on the line for him. Bash deserves that someone puts him first and Kieran knows it.
Sebastian is obviously my favorite character that I’ve read in my life and Wesley Paul l, the narrater for Bash, did an amazing job bringing Bash to life.

Every time that I read this trilogy I end up feeling so happy and content and that didn’t change.

Loved everything about this!

The audiobook was as always great. I just love how good they were at communicating with each other since book 2. They are so good and fun together. All the puns were killing me at times. Such a sweet and fun trilogy.
I still want Bash as my BFF.🥰


----

4x rereading this and this book still hits me. The humor and the puns are great. Obviously still love Bash with all my heart. Kieran too. 😂
Finished this book with a big smile on my face and bit teary eyed as always.

Just finished this for the third time and I’m in heaven! The audiobook is soooo good! I’m bumping this to a 6 star cause this just makes me so happy every time I read it.

This is just a big fat HEA for me and I couldn’t be more happier!
Kieran and Bash are really one of a kind. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, if we had a Bash in our lives we would be much happier.
This book just made me wanna read the other two just so I could experience this story all over again.
Their love story is an epic one and this is definitely my favorite of the year!
I hope to see them in future stories.

It’s my second time reading this and oh my…
These narrators are amazing!
Wesley Paul did such a fantastic job with Bash and Bishop Perry as Kieran was perfection. Honesty hearing both on my ears was everything I could ask for 😊.

The story is absolutely wonderful and I’m more in love with Bash and Kieran.
Their relationship is so unique as is Bash and seeing them happy also makes me happy. Their story leaves me feeling content and simply puts a smile to my face.

I honestly love everything that comes out of Bash’s mouth, he’s so sexy and flirty and funny 🤩.
As I’ve said before he’s my favorite character ever and I can’t believe that his story is over… or is it?
One of my favorite sides of Bash is when is dressing up 💃🏼👠💄👄, he really is fabulous and I love every single reaction that Kieran has when he sees him 😌.
Their relationship is #relationshipgoals!

And the sexy times? Oh my, when they get into it it’s so f***ing 🥵🧯🚨🤌🏼😳🔥!

All of this to say, these books are my favorite ever, I just can’t get enough of Bash, and Kieran .

Excellent job with this trilogy Ella and Brooke

Ivan is like a grumpy as F cat who doesn't like you until you start petting him. I was very exciting for his story and I feel proud of him for somewhat overcoming his issues with his brothers.
Ivan starts this as being paranoid and once he sees his little brother summoned a Demon, he wanted one for himself to protect him from everything and everyone. Except the demon warrior he summoned was Nix, an Incubus. 🤭
I truly loved Ivan because I knew since book 1 he had the potential to be one of the greatest.
I wasn't entirely wrong but he does need to work on his communications especially with his brothers which i hope we see some day.

Nix was so much fun, cute, honest and just a whole vibe. I devoured this book because it was that good and entertaining.
Nix has only good (and sexy 😉) intentions and so he kind of lets Cooper, Ivan's cousin, take The Book because he wants his dear friend to be summoned. The Demons in The Void are all so cute. I want all of their stories asap.

Ivan wearing his heart on his sleeve was F'ing amazing to read about. Truly. I swooned! It was The Highlight of this story for me. He changed in a good way because he had Nix by his side and I can't wait to see more of them and see how much he has progressed.

I loved seeing Alexei & Jay, Wolf & Eric. The only thing I wanted/ needed for this book to really work for me was to have a brother to brother convo between Alexei and Ivan. I got that! I'm not gonna lie , I wanted a bit more of it but I was satisfied with what I read. I'm positive we will see more of them in the future so I'm overall very happy with everything in the story.

I truly cannot wait for Cooper story. I can already tell it's gonna be cute, sweet and overall awesome. 😌

🌶️🌶️.5/5.

I was loving this until it hits 60+% and Gabriel did something that completely threw me off and it sour the whole book for me.
He all of sudden plead on his knees for Raven to believe what was said and to believe in his love I guess. I know we were getting there but the way this happened was so sudden that i was a bit dumbfounded by it all.

There was also a part where Lucy all of the sudden runs n@ked or almost n@ked to the street and she's hit by a 🚗... Like why the hell did that even happen? To show her power? She could've glow in the dark or broken something. This seemed so extreme and out of left field...
WIth that said I enjoyed the world and how dragons came to be in New Orleans and to see a bit of their realm. I'm intrigued by it all so I will definitely be continuing the series.
I enjoyed the rest of the book though but I just couldn't get past these parts. 🤷

🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.

I finished this at 3:30am this morning because I just couldn't put this book down. I knew Juliette wouldn't disappoint but damn I wasn't expecting all this. I loved this! I even cried towards the end.
This was one of my most anticipated books of 2024 and it didn't disappoint me.

Una is the princess of Issos but she went through some stuff because she just wanted to save her people. I liked that we started with her being younger so that we could see what she was made of but also to know how she and The Wraith Prince first met.
She is a good princess. She never wants to see her people suffer so when Goll, now The Wraith King, strikes a deal with her that she can't deny because giving her life for her people to live is the least she can do.

Goll is a bit stubborn but man when he goes for it, he goes for it. He thought the princess she saved was solemnly  his enemy but she turned out to be his entire world. 
I loved him too. he can be ruthless but he is a king who isn't in it as much for the power in of itself but for the power he gains to help the whole kingdom. He has good intentions in his heart and I loved seeing that side of him.

I loved them together too. Spicy times were spicying and I loved it.

I can't wait to read the next book in this series but also Juliette's new release.

I started reading this late in the day but i devoured it. I was determined to finish it before going to bed and I'm glad I did. This book was so wholesome. Kado was so precious! I wanna keep him safe in a bubble and never let him get hurt. 🥰

Kado is speechless and he always lived his life just working for Kai and never wanting anything for himself until his boss finds his woman. When he saw what a woman in his kind of life brought to the table so to speak, he started to wish someone for himself that was only his. He craves companionship more than anything else. He is soooo cute! ☺

Lucy never had luck on her side but that started to change when he witness a m--der (Kado at his finest 😌) so Kado had to take her with him because he didn't had it in him to off her so Kai being Kai offer Lucy 3 options. Suffice to say she chose Kado instead.

I actually loved how "chill" Lucy was about the whole thing in a way. Despite everything she wanted to understand Kado and she did it effortlessly besides his only goal in life now that she is living with him is to keep her happy at all times.

I loved how they communicated with one another and how they seemed to understand each other on a deeper level without much conversation. They just get each other.
Sexy times were spicying y'all! Kado never did anything sexual because he never was interest in a woman to the point of doing anything but Lucy changed all that. She knew what she liked and she loved to give him instructions and he was a very good student. They were so hot but also sweet. 🥰

I loved seeing everyone again. The women are so good towards one another and the guys are just being them so it's always fun reading whenever they appear.
I wonder where this overall arc will lead us but I'm so here for the ride.

I also noticed some bikers will be building Kado & Lucy's home/bunker so I wonder if we are about to meet the guys soon. ☺
Can't wait for the next book.
