This book was so entertaining, I loved it! It’s dark, but written in such a humorous way that you almost forget about that. Until things happen. I can’t say more, but definitely read the CWs and take them seriously. Promise me!

I loved Sloane and Rowan, their banter, their connection, how they are together. The whole book was just so good!

I loved this book so much! Lark and Callum are amazing, and I loved how their relationship developed from friends to more. The demi/ace rep was so good, so well explained without it being preachy. I also loved the Irish setting. It was a clear it played in Galway without ever feeling  that it got mentioned repetitively. So happy that I finally read it, I can’t wait for the next book!

This was a really fun, fast read. I love Arrow and Lewis, even with their romance being very insta love. You can’t go wrong with a K.M. Neuhold read!

This book was just what I needed! I had so much fun reading it, the banter was just amazing. Action-packed, all the spy stuff, with the perfect dash of romance in there without that distracting from the danger that was happening. I’m so happy there’s a new book coming this year!

My heart! Throughout the whole series I always had hope for Xander, and this book made everything come true. In the first part I did want to shake him at times to make him agree to find help, but I also know that’s not how it works. Anxiety and mental illness can be debilitating, and it rarely works if someone goes through the motions of getting help without wanting it themselves. His panic attacks felt so real, his struggle broke my heart, and I’m so happy that Derek was there. Their journey together was so hard, and I felt for both of them. It was so well portrayed, and I’m so damn proud of them both and how everything ended up! I’m going to miss all these boys so much!

So good! I loved the romantic build up, going right along with the building tension of the case without it ever feeling either one was out of place. It was definitely a slow burn, but I couldn’t put the book down for the final third!

Jesse!! I loved getting to know more of him and Ella’s past through all of their letters and the bits of backstory that were filled in. This is such a good companion novella to their main story!

I loved this book so much! I was laughing, swooning, tearing up, feeling everything. I just couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s chunky, but I never once felt like it was long, I flew through it. And Asher has my heart, I love him!

Robert Hatchet was a new narrator to me, and he did an amazing job bringing Asher to life! And Vanessa Edwin was so good, as always. I love her voice so much!

I love Malcolm and Elliott so much! They’re amazing, both apart and together. It was great to follow their journey from annoying each other to love, and how they help each other discover themselves. So, so good!
