This story was completely unexpected in a good way. This story is emotional, it is raw, it is beautiful and it is real. This story is a beautifully written journey.

Olivia has struggled her entire life. She was sheltered by her rather overprotective brother. Thatcher is a wealthy casino owner. He is a Dominant, he isn’t one for relationships. However, with Olivia things are different. She brings out something different in him and he calms her. They truly balance each other out.

I loved the chemistry between Olivia and Thatcher. Their relationship may have started out as a Dominant/submissive relationship, but developed into something more. They need each other. They support each other. Even after Thatcher uttered two words that completely destroyed everything, he never gave up on Olivia. However, the strong bond they had was shattered. Olivia was struggling and knew Thatcher would be the one person to help her, even though she had a secret that could completely destroy everything for good.

Thatcher with Ari….hello swoon!!!!! Seriously so adorable and I loved it. I love that he instantly bonded with her. It was so adorable and sweet and I couldn’t get enough of it. You could feel the instant love her felt for her.

This story does deal with mental illness when it comes to Olivia. The way it was handle was real. It wasn’t glamorized. It showed the good, the bad and the ugly. The ups and the downs. The highs and the lows. It hit me hard, especially because I could so easily relate to Thatcher and wanting to help Olivia. It isn’t an easy road.

If you’re looking for a secret baby, forbidden, age gap romance this is one to read.

I fell in love with Nova the second she was introduced in Vera’s story. I love her even more after finishing this book. She is talented, a fighter, a free spirit and also a little broken. Parker is a Rockstar; he is living his dream but there are events in his past that still haunt him.

Nova and Parker met as teens when their parents married and they became stepsiblings. They shared a love for the arts and the more time they spent together the closer they grew. There was a connection from the start and tons of chemistry between the two of them. Then everything changed between them and it’s been five years….

The time apart did nothing to the chemistry between Nova and Parker. They didn’t want to talk about the past that both haunted them, but there was still some pain and heart ache between them because of it. However, these two stepsiblings/friends slowly started to embrace their connection and their journey, while emotional at times was truly beautiful.

Ash, Oren and Brogan are absolutely amazing secondary characters and I LOVED their love of Nova. They truly cared about it and added so much to the story. Plus, Rae and Vera being there for Nova and again reminding me why I love this Girl Gang hard!

Skye and Braden’s journey continues and the twists and turns continue right up until the very end.

Memories of her past are brought up and they shed a lot of light on who she is now and her wants and desires. Braden doesn’t like to open up about his past and his limits, but he also wants to know who Skye is.

Skye and Braden’s journey is full of ups and downs as the two of them look for answers deep within themselves. I loved how much Skye grew throughout this series and the confidence she found within herself. Braden also had a lot of growth throughout the course of this series. I loved seeing them come together on a much deeper level.

There is a lot of build up throughout the beginning of this story and getting to know some more information on all these characters but things really starting picking up towards the end with the mystery and of course, with the relationships. Mae has amazing chemistry with all of the men and I can’t wait to see how that grows over time.

This is the first book in a trilogy so beware of the cliffhanger…my jaw was seriously on the floor! I am dying to know what is going to happen next and who killed Mae’s sister.

Hidden Beauty starts right where things were left in Secret Beast and wondering if Leo was going to come out on the other side.

We were left wondering about Leo and wondering how Haley is going to handle everything since she is really caught in the middle of it all. There were a lot of ups and towns when it came to Leo and Haley’s relationship, but I really loved that he began to let down some of his walls and show Haley and different side of him. I loved the growth of Haley throughout this story. She is really coming into her own and finding her own strength and confidence. She also has the support of Leo’s sisters.

While some questions are answered in this story, it left many many more questions that need to be answered and another jaw dropping cliffhanger.

I can’t wait to see where Leo and Haley’s story goes and if they will come out on the other side.

Rett and Emma were first introduced in Fate’s Demand and from that little glimpse I was completely sucked into their world. Devil’s Deal is the continuation of their story and full of mysteries.

Rett is dark, mysterious and demanding. Emma is kind of lost. She was thrust into Rett’s world and is forced to blindly trust a man she just met. She is able to learn more about where she truly came from and of her past and it’s information she never would have expected.

I loved see Rett and Emma’s relationship grow throughout this story. Emma is slowly starting to trust Rett. Rett also shows Emma a different side to him, he isn’t always the ruthless man and does have a somewhat caring side when it comes to her.

This does end on a cliffhanger and I am DYING to see what happens next for these two and to get some answers!

Thanks to weather and cancelled flights Laila is now stuck road tripping from Boston to Vegas with her best friends father, who she has nothing but opinions about. Henry isn’t looking forward to having to drive across the country, but he will do anything for his daughter.

Henry is set in his ways, he is a hardworking doctor. He isn’t really spontaneous. He doesn’t do relationships. Laila is the exact opposite, however, when it comes to relationships there are things she is kind of lacking. The moment they meet there is a connection, but Laila is his daughter’s best friend, she is 18 years younger than him and inexperienced when it comes to a lot of things. I loved the chemistry between Laila and Henry from the start. I love that they brought out a different side to the other and despite the age gap they still had things in common.

There was some unexpected emotion at the end of the story and I really enjoyed it., This was a pretty fast paced read and I truly enjoyed every single moment of the trip with Henry and Laila.

The Perfect Catch is a delicious slow burn full of laughs, tension and plenty of heat!

Walker is an unexpected surprise. He is the least liked player in baseball, a grump, keeps to himself, however, there is so much more to him. Walker is a character that you can’t help but fall in love with and you continue to fall deeper in love with the man. Kate is working on PR for the Bobbies and is helping Walker clean up his public image. There is a little bit of dislike between them, but there is also some sparks beginning to form.

Walker and Kate’s relationship is slow, teasing and frustrating. I just wanted these two to give into their desires and explore the explosive chemistry that is between them. However, as frustrating as it was at times I couldn’t get enough. I was glued to the pages of this story. Then of course, there was a wrench thrown into everything and it destroyed my heart. I felt the pain and hurt.

The Perfect Catch was so much more than I expected and I LOVED everything single moment of it. Walker quickly became one of my favorites in the #TowelBrigade.
