It was fun to be back in Fever Falls for another book, I wish I could visit it! I loved Dax and Jace together, and their journey to love was great. It had a good balance between fun lighthearted parts and the more serious parts of the story, but I did feel like everything fixed itself a bit too easily. I was glad how well their communication was, even during the more difficult moments.

I’m not totally sure how to feel about this read. I really liked it but I also didn’t. It has a very slow pacing, which made it difficult at times to keep my focus. I did want to keep reading to find out everything about the lighthouse and every character in the town! Very cute and cozy and it made me want to go back to Scotland!

Lauren has hit it out of the park again! Wait, wrong sport… This book was amazing, and it was just what I needed. Just like Dev and Ledger were just who Aubrey needed ;) There’s all the steam you wish for, and it’s sizzling, but I loved the heart of the story even more. It’s about discovering yourself, going for what you want and not because others want it for you, it’s about enjoying the moments! I loved it all!

When London Snow Falls by Hayden Stone
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.

I like my books more upbeat, the main character was so whiney that I got too annoyed with him already to continue after 10%

The best word to describe Small Town Boy is swoony. I loved it so much! Noel and Bronwyn are amazing people, and they make such a great couple! I loved how well they know each other, and what they might need at times. It was great to have the others from the friend group around as well, it’s such a good bunch of people. They’re definitely a family, and it was great to read how they accepted Bronwyn as one of their own!

I was intrigued by Christian ever since he was introduced in this series, and I’m glad I finally read Twisted Lies. I always tend to procrastinate when I know it’s the last book in a series, so it’s been waiting for me for a while. I really liked it, it read very easily, but I do feel it could’ve been shorter.

This last book in this trilogy was exactly what the series deserved. All the pieces fell into place, and one by one the plot lines came together and started making more and more sense. I love how much Nic and Cam give for their family, for each other, and how they center each other and have the other’s back. They’re amazing!

Holy sh- this book was amazing! It pulled on my heart strings from the first page and it never let go. It was impossible to put it down, especially when the case started to unravel! I love Cam and Nic so much, and my heart broke into so many pieces several times. This trilogy is all about finding your family, whether it’s your blood or your found one, and you know I will start the third book immediately! Or well, after I sleep, I guess 😉
