From start to finish I loved this story.

I loved Elle. She has a near death experience and that changed her outlook on a lot of things in her life and had her thinking differently. She wasn’t afraid to just take a plunge when it came to her life and her career. I love that she wasn’t afraid to just completely call out her jerk of a boss, West. I loved that West was complex. There is a lot more to him than what you get and it is exactly what he wants people to see of him. As each chapter continued it was like peeling back the layers of an onion discovering West and who the man really is.

While Elle and West’s story was a slow burn, it worked so well for them. I loved seeing them go from coworkers, to having some mutual respect for each other, to eventually something more. It just felt so natural and not rushed in any way. They had a connection and tons of chemistry so when they finally crossed that line it was perfection.

I loved Scarlett, too. She brought a different aspect to the story and to West. I felt so bad for her and seeing her struggle with major life changes including leaving behind her friends and her small Nebraska town for the big city. The story might not have been focused on her, but I loved her growth throughout the course of the story and seeing her really come out of her shell.

The second I started reading this book I absolutely fell in love with it. From Merrick and Evie’s first meeting, to their continued run ins in the beginning, and Kitty.

Evie and Merrick both have pasts that bring a lot of baggage and emotions to the table. The biggest difference is how each of them handle it. I admire Evie’s strength and fight. Merrick, I felt for him and my heart absolutely broke learning about his past and his story. The two of them were perfect for each other. I loved the chemistry and the connection they shared from the start.

KITTY! I LOVED her so much! She had me laughing so many throughout the story, but also was full of so much advice and wisdom. Hands down one of the best secondary characters.

Tatum is on the run from an abusive soon to be ex husband when she finds herself at Easton’s surf shop getting a job and living above the shop. Since Easton is also her boss and neighbor the two of them have formed a connection, but there is also a level of attraction between the two of them. When the past catches up though, will it change everything?

Tatum…she has been through so much and I feel for her, but I love that she realized she doesn’t need to stay in that situation and that she deserves better. However, all those years have had a major effect on her self esteem. Easton is protective, especially as he learns more about Tatum’s past, he is super sweet, caring and patient. I love the connection between Tatum and Easton and the slow progression they had. Easton never forced Tatum to rush into anything more.

There is a tad bit of suspense mixed in but not a major focus. I loved getting little bits and pieces of Tristan and Piper throughout this story, too. This book does deal with topics that may be difficult for some to read, so please read the warning at the beginning of the book.

The start to Jax and Jordan’s relationship is different. Jax is designing Jordan’s wedding dress and the first time they met there was a connection between them. Yet, Jordan is engaged to another man. Jax knows that she is the one for him and he never gives up hope, but he also doesn’t want to do anything to destroy her current relationship.

I loved Jax and Jordan’s relationship. They went from just Jax designing her wedding dress, to forming and friendship, and eventually it does lead to something more. There is chemistry between them and they both are completely drawn to each other, yet both know that there can’t really be anything between the two of them.

I was completely hooked on a side story line involving Jordan’s family and her sister that vanished years prior. I loved this added mystery and suspense to the story! This is also a great lead-in to another new series coming this summer.

This entire series there have been glimpses and teases of Aaron and Poppy’s friendship and the crush Poppy has carried for Aaron for years. Their story was so much more than I could have expected. Everything was completely worth the wait when it came to these two.

I love the friendship that Poppy and Aaron have. You can just feel that these two have been best friends their whole lives, but now that feelings are involved and lines are blurred it is complicated and you can feel how much they are both struggling with the change. They have insane amounts of chemistry and everyone knows that they should be so much more than friends.

This story brings out all sorts of feelings and emotions and you are truly on the journey with Poppy and Aaron. You can feel their emotions just oozing off the pages. It’s a rollercoaster full of ups and downs but the ride is worth it.

Mandi is the owner of the SunBay Inn. Noah is a freelance wildfire photographer. Noah was a late night guest at the Inn and from that very first moment they met there was a connection. However, they lived completely separate lives. Noah loved traveling and exploring the world and Mandi loved her small town life and running her inn.

I loved how Mandi and Noah’s relationship progressed. They started out as strangers, became friends along the way, and when Noah needed a fake fiancée Mandi was the one, but of course, their feelings got involved and things changed between them.

There is no shortage of chemistry between them and there was plenty of tension along the way. This was a slow burn….however, once it happened it was full steam ahead and I loved every single second of it. Noah is perfect for Mandi and I loved how special he made her feel and how he supported her the entire time. Same with Mandi, she supported Noah and I loved that she got to see what he actually does.

I loved the Grandmas getting into their usual mischief and of course, the rest of the Greene family.

I love London. She is the business side of the Spark House that she owns and runs with her sisters, however, that isn’t her dream. London is also extremely creative and crafty and you can feel the passion she has for creating. Jackson is a millionaire, but he is also pretty down to earth and doesn’t love to flaunt his wealth unless it is to help someone. London and Jackson cross paths shortly after a break up for London and she turns down Jackson. Neither of them thought their paths would cross again….

While this was a slow burn, I loved the build up. I love that you could feel the chemistry between London and Jackson and seeing them connect the more and more time they spent together and just got to talking about their lives. However, also the fact that they are working together kind of puts a damper on taking things further.

There were a lot of ups and downs when it came to London and Jackson and a whole lot of misunderstandings. You could feel the emotions and the pain that these two were feeling throughout the story and also the joy.

I love the bond that London has with her sisters, Avery and Harley. Besides their grandma they are all the family they have. They may not always see eye to eye, but they are protective of each other and will always be there for each other.

Going into Baden I knew this would be an emotional story given the major event that occurs and also with Baden’s injuries and recovery. Add in Sophie’s struggles and her past and this story is one emotional journey.

I felt for both Baden and Sophie. They have both experienced a lot of trauma and both of them are still struggling with it and trying to move on. However, their shared trauma has brought them closer together. I love that Baden was there for Sophie and would slowly push her out of her comfort zone, yet not too much that it would cause her more damage. There is a strong connection between them and they do have chemistry.

This book is a SLOW SLOW SLOW BURN. I felt at times I was just as frustrated as the characters at times. However, I loved how much these characters grew throughout the course of the series and that was a major part of it. Especially, Sophie. You can’t help but love her and relate to her in some way.

I can’t wait to get to know more of the Titan’s team and see how the new team continues to rebuild and grow.

A sweet, slow burn, low steam story that will leave you feeling good.

Sawyer probably makes one of the most dramatic and hilarious exits from a wedding that I have ever read and ends up at a bar in a small town and ends up in a cabin there. The owner? Fallon, the woman that he completely ignored on a blind date.

I LOVED Sawyer. He truly made this book for me. You can’t help but likeable from the start and it never waivers throughout the story. Fallon, I liked her, but she wasn’t my favorite at times throughout the story. Sawyer and Fallon definitely had chemistry though.

There are loveable and hilarious secondary characters and were such great additions to the story.

Stone was playing in the NHL until an injury moved him down to the minors, but his brother rose to the top during that time. Until, the entire Titan’s team plane crashed and now the team is rebuilding and they are looking at Stone to move back up to the NHL. However, this chance is at the loss of his younger brother. Will the guilt be too much for Stone?

I felt for Stone. He gets a chance to play in the pros again, but he also lost his younger brother. Even though their relationship had been strained and they were more like strangers, he still feels some guilt for essentially just replacing his brother. With this chance, it also is causing his father to show some interest in him again. Harlow. I love her. She is a BA. She has a lot in her past that you wouldn’t expect. She has her own law practice and despite who her family is, she has worked hard and made a name for herself.

I loved the bond that Stone and Harlow formed. Harlow was able to help Stone come to terms with the loss of his brother and the guilt, but also give Stone some more insight into who the man his brother was. While their relationship was slow to start, I’m glad it wasn’t rushed. They needed that slow build up and the friendship to be established before anything more can happen.
