Great, quick read! The relationship between Niles and Rusty felt so real, with their insecurities and bagage every step made sense, even the not so fun ones. Loved it!

I love this series! This was another great read, with such a good balance between the sweet and sexy moments, and the more serious moments. I loved the moments we had with Dex where he’s exploring his sexuality, without anyone rushing him into making up his mind. Can’t wait to read more!

This was just the book I didn’t know I needed right now! The suspense plot line was so well done, I kept figuring out what was going on with Nick and Ben and I couldn’t stop reading, I had to know what was going on! The sexual tension between them was clear from the moment they meet, and I loved the buildup to when they finally give in. So good! 

This was my first book by G.B. Gordon and I’m definitely going to read more by them!

This was just the perfect book I needed right now! I want to give Parker and Elliott the biggest hug, I love them both so much! They made me laugh, they made me swoon, they made me cry, their story had it all. I’m a sucker for the Vegas marriage trope, and Riley Hart nailed it in The Romantic. It was great to see Declan and Sebastian again, as well as the other guys from the podcast. And I absolutely loved the interactions with both Parker’s dad and Elliot’s parents. They were amazing!

This book had everything I love in Pippa’s books. I just couldn’t stop reading, and it’s been totally worth the lack of sleep it caused me! Theo, Theo, Theo. Where do I find someone like him? He’s not one to use many words but when he did, I was clutching my heart! He made me cry! Max (The Grumpy Player Next Door) is still my Pippa book boyfriend but Theo gave him a run for his money! I loved this book so much that I’m finding it hard to get the right words to explain why. Laney and Theo were great, and the rest of the cast was amazing too. This was such a great introduction to a new Pippa world, and I can’t wait to get back to these people!

It was so good to be back on the Now, Voyager! This series is one of the very few ways you can get me to enjoy boats. I loved how the relationship between Dylan and Max developed, and it all felt very real even when things progressed very quickly. I loved how well they communicated with each other, dealing with the real world together but also giving the other space to deal with things. It was great to have Rowan and Andrew pop in, and I can’t wait to read Rafe’s story next!

It’s been so good to be back with the New York Lions! I was very intrigued about what happened between Jupiter and Marnie when I met them in The Show, and I’m so happy to have read their story. I love them both, even though they frustrated me at times. That grand gesture was just… chef’s kiss amazing! Can’t wait to read more about this baseball team!

Another amazing book from Lauren Blakely, I loved it so much! Layla and Nick are perfect together, and their journey toward each other felt so real. The struggles both were dealing with, the tension and pull between the two, it all made me swoon and feel so much! The book touches on some very serious topics, without ever feeling too heavy. It had a great balance between love and life.

I listened to the audiobook and both narrators did such a great job, I just couldn't stop listening to them. But what else do you expect from Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton? They definitely lifted the story to and even higher level with their performance!

What a great last book in the series! I loved the forced proximity, being together for a month long in the middle of nowhere so much! I was so curious about Apollo and Ridge, and I’m so happy now with their romance. So good!

This was such a good book! I love this whole series, each story is a great time. Miller and Demetri are amazing together, I loved how they fit so well, helping each other with their insecurities. So good!
