This was a beautiful story about finding love, light, and hope when everything is filled with grief and darkness. I loved the communication between Deacon and Julian, even when it wasn’t all fun and games what they had to say. Heartbreakingly beautiful!

The audiobook of Not The Marrying Kind was a reread, after reading this book the first time in December 2021. I’ve raved about the book before, and enjoying this story again through the audio was amazing! I’m still in love with Max and Fiona, they’re the absolute best <3

This was a fun, quick read in the world of the Atlanta Rising. It’s very insta-love, but not in a way that it really felt like it was going too fast.

After hints of Jay and Rafe in the previous books, Off Key definitely delivers! I love road trip romances, and this one hit all the right spots. It was great!

I loved this book so much! I want to go and tell everybody to go read it. It’s so sweet, so cute, but at the same time so emotional and real. I don’t have the right words to explain it exactly. Just go read it! The anxiety rep was so good, the struggles that come with it, the frustration. And the illustrations are just too cute!!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
It feels too much like slapstick for me. I only got 10% in before I already was too annoyed by Cat and how she was handling everything.

I loved it! This book has a great balance between fun and serious, between confidence and doubt. I want to go find my own Slade to go to the woods with!

This was my first book by Ava Olsen, and it definitely won’t be my last. I loved the story, it had the right combination of swoon and drama, and the sexual tension between Rowan and Andrew was amazing!

I loved this forbidden romance! I listened to it in one day, Vanessa Edwin and Joe Arden had me hooked from the first minute. The journey from lust to love was so good, and all the emotions and drama felt so real to me. Harlow and Bridger are great together, and I loved all the secondary characters as well. Can’t wait for their stories!

I voluntarily read an advance review copy of this book
