Crown of Steel by Lola Malone
4.0
It doesn't get better than this series. It quite literally felt like I was being transported into the halls of Saint-Laurent; it just played in my head like a movie. I loved Arthur and how he showed he cared in his own unique ways, as well as Régis (my sweet angel). I wanted nothing more than to go into the book and comfort him. I adored the way that these two characters balanced each other out in the most beautifully twisted way possible.
Spoiler
What's going on with Mister Montague and Louis?? Who volunteered to take Régis place?? Who's behind the blue mask?! Also Maxime, Jo and maybe Amadou?!

I will always love a book that has me giggling and smiling whenever the main characters interact, and you know what?? This book right here has that and so much more. Archie and Jamie are the epitome of the grumpy x sunshine trope, with just the right amount of banter. Yes, Archie is a huge brat (kinda), but I absolutely loved the way Jamie was there for him and took care of him in his own little ways. Truthfully, I also got a little teary-eyed realizing the book started and ended with Jamie and his dream of skating.

Honestly, this book is eeriely beautiful, and I loved it?? The first half of the book had me clinging to the next chapter desperately, trying to understand what was happening between Gaël and Dominique. But dear Lord, their tension and chemistry?! Phew. The characters? The world building? *Chiefs kiss* I quite honestly had no other thoughts in my head besides Gaël and Dominique the entire time.
Young, Wild, & Three by Amity Malcom

Ugh this book is absolutely perfect for people who want a mesh of spicy, sweet and just overall comforting vibes. I loved Sebastian and Maeve from the start and the fact that they stayed in Aiden's corner throughout the entire book, just supporting and loving him, you couldn't ask for anything better honestly. Don't even get me start on the nicknames that Sebastian has for the both them as well 😩 dare I say dream relationship dynamic???
Consorting with Romance by Rayne Hawthorne
3.75
I though this book was adorable! It was nice to see how quickly Jesse and Ash's relationship flourished rather quickly, with a very minor third act break up along the middle of the book. One of my favorite scenes was near the end when ash kept asking Jesse to hold his ring for him when he worked 🥹. I also thought jesses anxiety was a written pretty good and the way it calms down whenever he's with ash.
For me it's a 3.75 stars ⭐⭐⭐💫

Bromantic Puckboy by Eden Finley, Saxon James
5.0
Honestly at this point I'm willing to sell an arm for all the books that fall under the Sadenverse 😩. The Puckboy series is quite frankly one of my favorites and Miles and Bilson are just *chiefs kiss*.
From the little quirks that each of them had to just any sort of interaction that they made together, it had me smiling and kicking my feet! This book right here is definitely for my folks who love witty bickering and a dash of friendship that turns into more

Imperfect Cadence by Emily Axon
5.0
Unbeknownst to me, I've been on a huge angst streak, and this book just takes the top charts! I was drawn in by the cover and stayed for one of the most compelling and moving story I've read so far this month. If you enjoy having your heart ripped out but slowly stitched back together again, then I implore you to PICK UP this book. The story of Colton and Grayson had me crying at 5 in the morning in the best way possible. They felt so realistic, and their story held my heart in a vice grip. This was such a beautiful story about two slightly broken people finding their way back toward each other.
Spoiler
Definitely giving me "to be loved, is to be seen" vibes. The chapter with the spring had me silently wiping tears away. The way Colt was able to feel safe enough to open up to Gray about himself was so beautiful
Pit Stop by Ellis Mae
4.0
Let me be honest here: if you're looking for a book to tug on your heartstrings VERY quickly, look no further. All the representation that was written in this book was written in a way that gave a lot of depth to the two main characters; quite honestly, it made them feel very real. It was a hard road for both John and Isamu in the beginning of the book, but as the story progressed, it was incredibly sweet to see them fall slowly in love with one another in their own way.
However, I wish there was more to their ending. We see them go in the van and start traveling, but I would love to see their time together as an official couple.
It's 4 stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐
