ARC received for an honest review.

Drowning In Stars was one of my favourite books of last year, and Swimming In Sparkles is in the same vein.

Ruffian and Teddi's story pulls at the heartstrings. Whilst it is not as angsty as many of Ms Anastasia's other works, it will make you laugh, make you cry, get you frustrated and angry and get all grrr.

But it will make you smile. This pair could not be any more different if they tried, but it is all heart eyes for each other as soon as they meet.

Ruffian is Gaze from Drowning In Stars brother, so we get to catch up with Gaze and Pixie as well as learn about Ruffian.

Whilst I loved how everyone comes together, to me, it just felt all too easy. I don't know, to me I think I wanted, no I needed a bit more drama - I know, I know, I am too picky lol

My favourite part was the cameos by some beloved Debra Anastasia character, but I think you need to read and get the OOOH moment for yourself.

I now need to get a book for Austin, who you are yet to meet (but who gives me whole David Rose vibes).

Please make this happen, Ms Anastasia
