This is the third book in the Bright Falls series, I absolutely loved the two books and think the second might be one of my favourite ever romances.

There was lots in this book that I enjoyed, I love fake dating so this really worked for me and I really enjoyed the development of the characters and how spicy this one was but overall this wasn't as enjoyable for me as other books in the series.

Still very much looking forward to reading anything this author writes.

This is the second book in the Wilmot Sisters series, I absolutely loved the first book and others by this author so I went in with high hopes. 

The writing absolutely did not disappoint, this author is brilliant at writing characters that you become fully invested in and she represents the realities of many, in this book in particular she represents people who suffer chronic migraines, have ADHD and demisexualism.

I love enemies to lovers and so the start of this really worked for me but I think maybe it was done too well as I the struggled to get behind the complete 360 of the MC feelings. 

Still very much looking forward to continuing this series.
