Ali hazelwood I love your books š the pining, the angst, the lust, the buildup, the satisfaction. I was crying and upset because I just so badly want them together it PHYSICALLY HURTS ME. I havenāt been disappointed in a Hazelwood book yet. ššš

This one was particularly dark especially in the beginning ā the characters went through an ORDEAL and have this constant draw to each other. Noelleās behavior really frustrated me because she claims that Evan was the only man she can ever trust and yet held such a huge secret from him for so long? I was just frustrated ā I obviously wouldnāt know what to do in that situation either. But the twists and turns leading you to how and why they were abducted was WILD

I love to expand my reading horizons and pick up popular books that arenāt usually in my realm of reading. As long as there is a HEAā Iām happy ya know? These books came out in 2015 I think it said and they are still talked about 10 years later. I know for the shock factor of large blue aliens on another planet draws people in but honestlyā the storyline that goes along with it is really captivating. 4 stars bc itās so short tbh š I want more of this and I know thereās more but this book could have given that and I would have probably still read it just as quick. I had so much fun with this story and Iām glad I gave it a chance despite it being a read outside of my usual. I will probably be reading more from this universe š

I loved this and ATE IT UPPPP. Very generic mafia romance storyline with goooood spice and goooood sexual chemistry between characters. I love!! love!! love!!! a plus size romance especially as a plus size girly! And callum really knows what he likes. And Lexie is the confident queen I wish I could be. Only ick I have is how often it mentions how BIG lexies boobs are. I GET IT. Itās brought up sooo so so often and I get thatās part of his appeal to her but damn, compliment another part of her body FOR ONCE OUT LOUD PLEASE

Ali has done it again for me with this one ā I loved it. I thought all the STEM jargon would discourage me from reading through but NO REGRETS. I LOOOOVE A GOOD SLOW(ish) BURN LOVE STORY. The yearning, the banter, the BUILD UP!! makes when they get together so much more satisfying.
I DONT like third act ābreak upsā though bc my heart is fragile š I always power through bc I love the HEA and I still was hurt and wondering how it would end (such as I have experienced reading Ali Hazelwood in the past) and I have no regrets.

Damn this was dark. Take the triggers seriously.
A case of insta-love. Donāt go into this thinking itās going to have ANY sunshine and rainbows. This is a dark, Romeo & Juliet-ish, love story with HELLA GOOD spice. I wanted to cry and be frustrated tooā FOR A SERIAL KILLER? hmmm. Crazy.

This was cute ā I love the mystery and the cute love story. As someone from a small town where everyone knows everyone, that part was very relatable. I had a lot of fun reading this one! But it was a pretty basic story, pretty predictable but super fun

This is a cute book ā the smut and plot is a balancing act. The story really helps it move along but there isnāt much to it. I love the MMF relationship between Heather, Gio, and Atlas so much and they make me so happy and the book is just goofy and slightly dark enough to keep me interested. I had fun reading about their love story.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I!! HATE!!! CHEATERS!!!
I almost DNFd on that alone ā I just wondered from the blurb why they were exes. But a friend and I were reading this together so I powered through. I am glad I did, I loved the way this played out. Considering I only read books with HEA. Chase is pretty unredeemable throughout most of the book but the chemistry between him and Madi is undeniable. In no way shape or form is he my next book boyfriend but I would swoon over him irl too. I did grow a soft spot for him due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the fake engagement being super relatable for me but for the most part I enjoyed the book.
