This was such a great read! It was very insta-love, but it never felt too fast. It had a great balance between love, steam, and seriousness, and the groveling was just A+!

I really wish I would’ve liked this book more, because I loved the other three in this series, but I didn’t. I’ve spent the majority of the book annoyed and frustrated at both Hailee and Aiden, even though I could understand where they both were in their feelings. It did have some good moments, but they were not between them and that’s never a good sign in a romance. I’m glad I finished the series but this one wasn’t the book for me.

This book is hot, hot, hot! William and Benji are so amazing together, it just feels right from the moment they meet. The story pulled on my heartstrings as much as it made me need to cool down, it was so good!

A great read for a lazy reading day! The serious moments were nicely balanced with sweet and sexy ones. I only wished that Justin and Gabriel would have been communicating better earlier on, it would’ve saved everybody a lot of stress!

What a great start to a new series! I loved Declan and Sebastian, and how their relationship evolved. Their story definitely started with a bang, and it only got better!

I was so excited to visit Knockemout again, and it was so good to be back there! Things We Hide From the Light is about finding your people, it’s about growth, it’s about love, it’s about being scared, it’s about hope. I loved this book so much, and Nash is just amazing! My heart kept breaking for him, and I’m so proud! I’m such a huge fan of Lucy’s books, she always finds the right balance between the love story and the dangerous one. It just flowed so well that it was suddenly 1:30am when I finished reading!

Oh, and I’m even more intrigued about Lucian and Sloane now than I already was! Can’t wait for their story!

I loved this book! River already intrigued me in Bar Hopping for Singles, and I’m so happy to have read his story. I could definitely relate with both Rachel and River about having different expectations for yourself than others have, and I loved how they helped each other figure things out. It was so good!

This was a fun, quick read. It was very insta-love, but with the history between Zack and Slater, it never felt too quick or too much. I loved the small town shenanigans that were going on in the background!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
Both main characters got on my nerves too much to give this book more of my time.

5.0

This book was just what I needed! I can barely find the right words for how much I love Rafe and Gunnar. The tension between them sizzles, and each moment they’re spending together is amazing. I always claim I can keep total poker face when reading or listening to the steamy scenes, but their exhibitionism kink made me blush. The thrill of the possibility of being caught was so well described. Sexy, filthy, steamy, perfect. The audiobook is done in duet style, making it feel even more like a radio play than a ‘normal’ audiobook, and it sucked me into their story even more. Love, love, love!
