Hollis is recently divorced and definitely not looking for anything series. Lowell is a one time type of man. When Hollis and Lowell meeting at Harper and Collin’s wedding it wasn’t exactly a great start, however, thanks to their environment they decide to just have one time with each other and then move on with their lives. Well…….sometimes things don’t always work out the way you plan.

I loved Hollis. I love that she is moving on in her life after her divorce and when a wrench is thrown in her life plans, she freaks out but then enjoys the blessing she has been given. I loved her sassy attitude that only seemed to come out even more while pregnant. I loved Lowell, too. Minus his initial response to Hollis telling him she was pregnant and I wanted to have a repeat of their first meeting. However, he quickly redeems himself and is super sweet, caring and protective.

I loved seeing Hollis and Lowell go from strangers, to having a kid together, to forming a relationship that is truly magical. Their chemistry is off the charts, the banter between them and just the sweet moments they shared. I loved it all.

I DEVOURED this book. The second I started reading I couldn’t put it down and before I knew it the story was over and I wanted more. I loved Jax and Sophie’s story.

Jax is the GOAT, but when the news of moving to a new team isn’t going well, he needs something to change the public’s view of him. Sophie is a single mom and a romance author. She works hard and does a great job of taking care of her son, Ben. Jax and Sophie also have a history together. Her mother worked for his family and they meet when they were teens, but things changed over the years and its been seven years since they have seen or heard from each other.

Jax and Sophie have no shortage of chemistry, even after seven years without speaking to each other. A whole lot of miscommunication and secrets forever changed the course of their relationship, yet once the truths start to come out and they actually take the time to speak about their history together things start to shift between them.

Jax was unexpected. There were things that made him seem uncaring and kind of a jerk, yet once the truth comes out and the way he is with Sophie shed a new light on him. I loved how hard he worked and how determined he was to prove to Sophie that he isn’t who she thinks he is and that she is the one for him.

Blaine is a star quarterback, Chastity is a college student with dreams of being a sports reporter. Both of them live and breath football for different reasons.

The moment they meet there is a spark and chemistry between the two of them. Blaine knew something was missing from his life, but didn’t know what it was until Chastity. Chastity has crushed on Blaine for years, but really didn’t expect anything to ever come of that crush.

I love how Blaine was all in from the start. Chastity was the one for him and he knew it. He wasn’t going to do anything to change that or ruin it. Chastity knew Blaine was it, but not as quickly as he did. I adored their story and their relationship so much. I love how protective Blaine is of Chastity and you can feel how much he truly cares from her when things put their careers at risk.

Carlos by Claire Hastings

I am so happy that Carlos finally gets a story and the happily ever after he truly deserves.

Carlos is suffering from a broken heart when a dog and a traveling vet, Ashby, enter his life. There was an instant connection between Carlos and Ashby. Their relationship quickly progresses the more time the spend together.

I have loved Carlos from the moment he graced the pages and this short story only made me love him more. Ashby is perfect for him. I absolutely love her. She is full of life and caring. I love her passion for animals.

I loved returning to the Indigo Royal Resort and getting to enjoy some time in paradise.

I adored Peyton and Griffin’s story. From the moment they met there was a spark. You could feel the connection between the two of them and it only blossomed as time went on.

Peyton and Griffin are prime examples of “when you know you know”. It didn’t matter that they lived in different states, that they were both young, or both student athletes. I loved that they always found time to talk and made time for each other.

I loved the sweetness, the innocent (but also the little bit of spice) and the Griffin swoon throughout this story. Griffin was easily accepted by Peyton’s sisters and their significant others and her parents. Plus, Peyton was easily accepted by Griffin’s parents. Both of them had so much love around them growing up and had great examples when it came to relationships.

I know they were secondary characters but I also loved Karina and Oliver. I loved the little glimpses we got of them throughout Peyton and Griffin’s story and even in the future. Plus, there were both amazing friends and super supportive when it came to Peyton and Griffin’s relationship.

The bonus epilogue….my heart! It was absolutely beautiful and such a perfect way to end this series!

Hannah and Leo are heating up the kitchen. Totally Yours is just the book I needed. It was light, sweet, funny, steamy, and full of some amazing sounding food!

I adore Hannah. Her resignation had me laughing out loud and is definitely memorable. I love how passionate she is about cooking though. You can feel how much she loves it and loves being in a restaurant throughout this story. I also adored Leo. He is also an amazing chef. He respects everyone’s opinions when it comes to the kitchen, too. He also knows what he wants and likes and isn’t afraid to go after it.

The chemistry between Hannah and Leo…it is lighting the kitchen on fire! From the moment they met there is an insane attraction and neither of them waste time. They are just so much fun and so perfect for each other. They definitely aren’t afraid to have fun and add in some extra spice.

The double O’s….I love those two. They always bring so much fun, mischief and plenty of laughs to each of the stories. They are staples when it comes to Somerville! I am also secretly hoping that maybe in the future these two will get stories of their own.

When Anneliese lost her fiancé, Donovan, all the lies of his life were brought to the surface and he truly wasn’t the man she thought he was. One secret he hid was that he has a brother, Lachlan, and that they look a lot alike.
I loved the progression of Anneliese and Lachlan’s relationship. From strangers to quickly becoming enemies to then learning how to heal and forgive together, which eventually led into something more. There was a strong connection between the two of them.
I liked the somewhat different storyline, too. It was refreshing to read something that is a little different.

The moment Dax and Wren meet there is a connection between them. They are both drawn to each other on more than just a physical level. However, fate has some different plans in mind and they quickly become forbidden.

Dax and Wren’s relationship is complicated and complex at times. There is a ton of chemistry and tension between them throughout the entire story. There are laughs and pain. Their bond is unique and different. While things weren’t always easy when it came to them and there were plenty of ups and downs everything it worth it in the end and if anything it just made both of them stronger.

The secondary characters in this story….they are amazing and add a lot the overall story when it comes to Dax and Wren. I absolutely loved them.

This story is best read if you go in completely blind. It is a complicated slow burn but it is one that is completely worth the wait.
