I’m not sure where to start in describing this book. I went in not knowing anything about the plot, and I loved it so much! It took me a couple chapters before I was sucked in, but by then I couldn’t stop reading! It’s a story about grief, about love, about strength, about family, about hope. I sobbed my way through several chapters, and then my broken heart got put back together again in such an amazing way. So, so, so good!

I loved this book so much, it was amazing! The story flowed so well that I just got sucked in and I couldn’t stop reading. The sexual tension between Ryan and Natalia was perfect, and when they finally gave in it was fireworks. The subplot with Ryan’s brother kept me guessing, and the final third of the book was just un-put-downable!

I loved this duet! The second book has such great grovel, so many emotions flying between Waverly and Xavier. The suspense kept me on my toes, unsure what what’s happening. And sparks definitely fly throughout the whole book!

I loved this book! It’s sexy, very steamy, but also very sweet. The audio was amazing, as always. I made the ‘mistake’ listening to this audiobook in public, and it’s been a while since I had to focus on my poker face this much! Gabe and Ellie are the perfect fit, wanting the same things in and out of the bedroom.

It’s hard to review this book, with a cliffhanger like that! There’s no other choice but to dive into Breaking the Rules immediately!

I loved this book! Ox is amazing, and so kind. The chemistry between him and Annie was amazing, it was worth the wait until they finally give in! A great new series, I can’t wait for River’s book!

I liked this book, but at the same time unfortunately it wasn’t too memorable. It was still a good escape from the world for a bit.

This story was beautiful, and my heart hurts now. Claire captured Mahoney’s struggles so well, being gay in a world where still so many people won’t accept that, wanting to be free but not wanting to give up his sport, it sucks that this is still the world we live in. I love Mahoney and Trent, they’re amazing together and they give me hope!

Its no secret that I love Lauren Blakely’s books, and Two a Day is no different. The story is sweet, real, and perfect for fall! If you can, definitely get the audiobook. Jason Clarke and Rose Dorio did an amazing job with it, making it even better!
