Jaxon and Nicky’s story is a beautiful and emotional ride that I never wanted to end.

They have been separated for two years, their divorce finally finalized and their paths cross again. There is some pain, some secrets, heartbreak, but there is so much chemistry and history between the two of them. You can tell from the start that they are meant to be together and really the time apart was exactly what their relationship needed.

My emotions were just broken while reading this. Learning about what happened two years ago completely shattered my heart, but after learning what happened and seeing what was happening in the present I could feel my heart slowly begin to mend.

This story is full of plenty of Calloway brother banter, love, loss, and forgiveness. It’s truly a beautiful second chance story.

Harper’s story is one that I have been waiting for since the beginning and it was absolutely worth the wait. This was so much more than I could have expected and I loved every single minute of it.

The moment Harper and Enzo meet there is a connection between the two of them. As the spend a week in Bali together they grow closer, their connection never seems to fizzle. However, there are some things that Enzo didn’t tell Harper, like the fact he is a major soccer super start. Some major miscommunications tear them apart for months.

Harper is an amazing character. She wants to be a mother, she has gone through several treatments only for nothing to work. You can feel her pain in the beginning and her struggles. Yet, she wasn’t going to give up. Harper’s struggles are a sensitive topic to many, but the way this was all handle is beautiful and it is done in a way to makes it easy to connect with Harper and her struggles. Enzo…the Italian, it’s swonny. I love that he isn’t a player and how protective he is. Plus, the love for his family. He falls quick for Harper, but is still cautious for a while given his status.

This story was a beautiful ending to the Love in LA series and all these characters, though I hope they do pop up some in the future.

Gianni and Ellie have known each other their entire lives. Their moms are best friends and they used to be friends but as they grew up things changed and they eventually became enemies. Gianni loved getting under Ellie’s skin as a kid and well, even as an adult he still enjoys it.

I loved the two of them. They have chemistry and connection that would only be there from the years of knowing each other. From the beginning, you can tell that Gianni truly cares about Ellie and is protective of her. There is no shortage of attraction between the two of them. I loved the banter between the two of them. They both know how to push each other’s buttons. When things change after the time stuck together, I loved how much Gianni stepped up (after his initial shock).

All it took was a massive snowstorm to bring these two together and let them give in to the spark that has been between them.

Lola is enjoying her last night in Aruba when she crosses paths with Brandon. It is her last chance to have a vacation fling and why not enjoy that with the cute man she met and has insane chemistry with. Brandon is attracted to Lola. The moment he sees her there is someth8ing there and he is going to enjoy every single moment of it. What neither of them expect is to cross paths again and again after the vacation is over.

Lola and Brandon have INSANE chemistry. They want the same thing, which is why them becoming friends with benefits after the vacation fling makes perfect sense to them. However, the more time they spend together and the more they open up to each other things slowly start to change between them. Until two little lines pop up and can potentially change it all.

I loved Lola and Brandon. I love how easy things were between them. How perfect they were for each other. They easily fell into a relationship, whether or not, they want to admit it. They acted like it. Even after the news there was a bit of rough patch, yet neither of them stopped thinking of the other. They both have their own things to work through….both of them share parent issues, but I loved that they both helped each other and supported each other.

This book. It has the perfect mixture of sweet, heat, and swoon.

Riley has been crushing on her twin sisters best friend, Hudson, for years. Yet, she has never done anything about her feelings. Hudson has been crushing on Riley since they were 15. Yet, like Riley, he never told her how he truly feels. Until one night everything between them changes forever.

I love the chemistry between Riley and Hudson. I loved the friendship they had with each other, but loved seeing them shift from friends to something more. Their story is full of a lot of ups and downs and plenty of emotions, but it was all worth it in the end.

I hope this isn’t the last we see of these characters, because I not only fell in love with Riley and Hudson but their entire group of friends.

Jax and Jace keep you on your toes and take you on an emotional rollercoaster. I absolutely loved the two of them from the start and as their story continued I fell for them more and more.

Jax is full of sass and I loved her. I love that she is strong, but she also has a more vulnerable side that many don’t get to see. Plus, she is absolutely hilarious at times, especially around her best friend. Jace is caring and protective, especially when it comes to Jax.

The chemistry between Jax and Jace is off the charts. These two are explosive when they come together. Yet, there are also so many sweet and tender moments they share that will leave you swooning. I loved seeing the two of them come together and form a strong relationship.

I absolutely loved this group of friends and I hope there are more of them in the future. I also loved little easter egg of some previous characters.

Penelope is a single mom to a seven year old daughter, Skipper. She works hard to provide for her daughter and her daughter is everything to her. Jack is a professional football player, he has a great career. Penelope and Jack were dating in college until one day Penelope just ghosts him and they don’t see each other for seven years when he shows up on her brothers doorstep.

I enjoyed Penelope and Jack reconnecting and finding a new normal for the both of them with Skipper. But, the two of them also frustrated me so much. I felt that Penelope’s reason for running out was very, very immature (I get she was only 20), but even then it just didn’t sit right with me. Then when Jack found out what happened I wanted him to be a little more angry and make Penelope work for it a little more. He seemed to forget and forgive a little too easy for me.

Skipper was so adorable though and I absolutely loved her. She was smart, full of life and just brought so much joy to the overall story. It was great seeing her and Jack bond and form a strong connection from the start.

Tuck and Francesca meet in the most unexpected of places, but they share one magical night together, a night that neither of them will forget. However, they didn’t exchange names or any details. They both are in for a surprise when they cross paths again.

Both these characters have heartbreaking backgrounds and their backgrounds are something that has shaped who they are now. These two also have a lot in common, especially when it comes to their love of art. They do have chemistry, but they also have a lot of secrets between them.

I loved the secondary characters in this story, especially Francesca’s roommates and Jasper. They were entertaining and added to the overall story.

One night was all it was supposed to be. Even if Penny is sister of Eli’s best friend and teammate. It’s been five weeks and now with a positive pregnancy test Penny has to tell Eli and her brother…..

I absolutely loved Penny and Eli! I loved seeing them navigate through everything. There were so many awkward moments, plenty of laughs, some steam, and even some tears. Eli isn’t one for relationships, which makes sense given his past. Penny hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to love and relationships. They both have their own things they need to navigate through as individuals.

I loved that their relationship wasn’t perfect. I love that there were mistakes they made. Penny navigating through her pregnancy and the changes that come with that. I love how Eli stepped up and was extremely caring and protective when it came to Penny, even if they were just friends in the beginning.
