GIVE ME MORE LULU AND RAFE! I'm obsessed with them. Seriously, these two are amazing. Their banter was off the charts. Like, the kind of banter that makes you laugh out loud. You could practically feel the sparks flying off the page. I was rooting for them so hard, my cheeks hurt from smiling.

Lulu is a total queen. Smart, independent, determined, and just straight up fierce. Bonus points, she's a total girl's girl! I love how she dealt with the girls who were crushing on Rafe. Rafe also has my heart. He just gets Lulu. He knows exactly what she needs and he's always there, ready to support her. Total book boyfriend material.

And, as always, Laura Pavlov nailed the found family thing. It's just the best. The brothers' textshad me literally laughing out loud. They were hilarious.

If you love amazing chemistry, witty banter, and characters you instantly fall in love with, you need to read this book. I hope we see these characters in future books. I can't wait for the next one.

I was already obsessed with the first two and this one is just as good! It's the perfect mix of everything you want in a fun read. We're talking laugh out loud moments, those warm fuzzies that make you smile, and some steamy scenes.

The found family vibe is so good in this book as well as the series. I love when everyone just finds their people. The ones who get you, support you no matter what, and love you unconditionally. That's what this series is all about. I'm in love with all the characters, even the side ones! Plus, getting to see the couples from the previous books pop up is pure joy!

And if you're thinking about reading it, do yourself a favor and grab the audiobook. The full cast narration is insane! It has some of the best narrators out there, and they just bring the whole thing to life. It's a total blast to listen to. Bottom line is this series is a must listen. You won't regret it!

**eARC and ALC Review**

This book seriously delivered. It was everything I was hoping for. I'm bummed the Wildcats series is over, but this last one was a total win. Get ready for the waterworks, because I was a mess of happy and sad tears. This book dealt with some heavy topics, but it was handled so well. It felt real, raw and honest.

I'm obsessed with Maverick and Stevie. Their whole childhood friends to enemies to lovers plus fake dating was done so well. Maverick and Stevie just got each other, and it was so sweet watching them find their way. Plus, their banter had me cracking up. Robert Hatchet and Megan Wicks crushed it. They made the characters feel so real. I was totally sucked in, feeling every single thing. Honestly, just a super enjoyable read and listen. Highly recommend this book as well as this series!

I just finished another Jewel E. Ann book, and man, she does it again! Seriously, she knows how to grab you right from the start and not let go. It's like she's got a direct line to your feels or something.

This one's got real-life struggles but she throws in a ton of laughs, a sweet love story, and just a whole lot of don't give up vibes. Maren and Ozzy's road to being together was bumpy, but it was so worth it. You'll be rooting for them the whole time.

Ozzy's daughter Lola- oh my heart! That kid just stole the show. I just wanted to give her the biggest hug and make sure she had the best life ever. Her bond with Ozzy was just adorable, and seeing Maren fit into their little world was just perfect.

Narrators Benjamin Sands and Amy McFadden nailed the dual narration. Each character felt so real and genuine. They really brought out all the emotions, the funny bits, the sad bits, everything. Seriously, they made the story even better.

If you're looking for a book that'll make you laugh, cry, and leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy, this is it. Jewel E. Ann just gets it right every time. Highly recommend!

I just finished this audiobook, and "cute" is honestly the perfect word for it. Like, straight up, it was just a feel-good, happy listen. The whole premise was adorable, and I found myself totally sucked into the characters and their whole deal. I was genuinely invested, which is always a win!

C.J. Bloom and Alexander Cendese totally nailed the narration. Duet narration is my jam, and these two absolutely brought the story to life. I was legit laughing out loud so many times. Their performances were just spot on.

This is my second Max Monroe audiobook, and I'm officially a fan. They just have this knack for writing stories that make you smile. If you're looking for something light, fun, and totally charming, definitely give this one a listen! You won't regret it.

Where do I sign up for more or Charlotte and Seth?! This short story was just so adorable while still addressing a serious topic. I love how Abby Jimenez can seamlessly weave serious topics with a rom-com.

I'm obsessed with Charlotte and Seth. I was rooting for them from page one. Their dynamic was just perfect. The whole plot was also something I haven't seen before, which is always a win. Basically, if you want a quick read that'll make you smile and leave you desperately wanting more, this is it.

I devoured this super quick hockey novella, and let me tell you, it was spicy! It's a teaser for S.J. Sylvis's new Wilder U series, and after reading this, I'm officially hooked. We meet Nolan and Hannah, and they very clearly have chemistry! I didn't realize how much I love the "I'll teach you" trope. Hannah's looking for some lessons in the bedroom and Nolan's more than happy to be her professor.

The best part is that they have to keep it a secret from her brother, which means lots of sneaking around. Hello, forbidden romance! That added layer of tension just made it even more exciting.

The only downside... It's too short! I finished it and immediately wanted more of Nolan and Hannah, more of their chemistry, more of everything! If this novella is any indication, the Wilder U series is going to be amazing. Get ready, people, because I'm counting down the days!

Seriously, wow. Let's just talk about the chemistry between Carlee and Weston for a sec. It was off the charts. From page one, it was just this constant, delicious build-up of flirty banter, and honestly, I was a total mess of giddy smiles and butterflies. My stomach was doing flips, no joke.

The Friend Situation is the second book in the Billionaire Situation series, and while you could read it alone, trust me, you'll get way more out of it if you've read The Wife Situation first. You get some backstory and it will be a more enjoyable reading experience.

Carlee and Weston's "friendship" was just adorable. They're best friends, BFFs, and it's so genuine. It's not your typical friends with benefits or fake dating trope, either. It felt fresh and fun. They really cared about each other, and it showed.

I  loved the invisible string revelations that were revealed throughout the story. It was so clever and made me smile from ear to ear. I Loved it! It was just a feel good, smile inducing read from start to finish. I was grinning throughout the whole book.

And now I'm already dying for Billie and Asher's book. If it's even half as good as this one, we're in for a treat. Seriously, if you want a sweet, flirty, and totally swoon worthy romance, grab this one. You won't regret it.

I was so excited for book 3 of the Campus Diaries series! I went in totally blind, which was probably for the best because... surprise! It has a why choose trope, which, normally, is not for me. Somehow, this book totally flipped the script. I was invested in all the characters and the storylines. I didn't even mind the multiple love interests!

Narrators Teddy Hamilton, Sean Masters, and Persephone Lee were an absolute dream team! They totally brought this book to life. Teddy Hamilton is always amazing, Sean's accent made me swoon, and Persephone Lee just nailed all of Charlie's emotions.

If you're already a fan of the series, you're gonna love this one. If you're like me and usually avoid why choose books, I'd say give this one a shot. You might just be surprised!
