Dammit, these books are so friggin cute I could puke. And by god, I'm loving every second of it.



Thanks to Audible's romance package, all of my tbr plans have officially gone off the rails and I'm completely hooked on this universe. My real end game is seeing Denver and Maizy get together, but that's book six so I'll be blowing through these puppies like Kleenex.

Honestly, I enjoyed this book because of Reno. I. LOVED. HIM. And I loved him with April. Watching them together made the whole thing worth it. My personality closely matches April's, so I found her a lot more relatable than I did Lexi. But April makes some god awful decisions that made me mentally shake her, so she kind of broke even for me. My brain has put her character in the "meh" category. Reno is the real MVP of this book. I also found Trevor's hovering bff act annoying, but since April is running around like a stubborn fart in a wind storm, I could understand. Hopefully we get to know his character better in the coming books and I'm looking forward to it.

And I'm LOVING how Dark structured this universe! We get new stories and in depth looks at our favorite characters without losing any of the ones we've already read. It was so much fun seeing Austin and Lexi's relationship playing out in the background and I'm excited to see that idea expanded in the coming books.

Oh, and Nicole Poole's narration is still killing it!

FINAL WORD
I think this series may be my new favorite guilty pleasure. I don't really have a favorite romance series, so this is quickly becoming the one to beat.

Two thumbs up!
