Spicy read - lots of tropes here...Age gap, praise kink, forbidden, workplace, Dom/sub, bdsm. The trans representation was done really well and genuine. I appreciated how solemn it was.

Wow I didn't know what to expect with this book. This book made you feel everything so many times throughout; hope, happiness, pride, sorrow, encouragement, irritation, all the things!! All the characters and back stories in this small town were greatly thought out. Everything felt full circle. The romance was beautiful and felt real and genuine. The overall message of the book of being kind and friendly to everyone is so important and I loved the story.
Also love an asl representation....."it would probably be amazing what we could all see and hear if we would just shut out mouths a little more, and stop trying to constantly hear our own voice". 🖤

Adventurous read. Grabs you from page one and keeps you interested in the mystery and adventure of what's going to happen next, who will make it, why things are happening. Left on a cliffhanger so can't wait to find out what happens next!

Emotional book but was good. Emma's friends were great throughout the whole book and her guardians made me cringe and you rooted for any moment of happiness Emma got. It kinda felt slow and it left on a moment that made you want to continue with Emma's journey.

One night stand gets revisited a few years later when FMC and MMC somehow end up in the same small town in Texas. Also the teacher/student relationship outside of school threw me off.... But might be the realist in me. Overall, fun and lighthearted read with loveable characters.

Cute cheesy chick-lit. Fake dating, one bed, workplace romance.II forgot it's supposed to be an enemies to lovers romance too but there just didn't seem to be much character development at all.IYou're better off reading A Not So Meet Cute or So Not Meant to Be by Meghan Quinn or The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. They do spend a good portion in Spain and it was neat to hear about some foods and stuff but that's pretty much it. They don't talk about the culture besides the fact that it's their culture and they're in Spain. It was just okay for me. I appreciated the Spanish dialogue keeping true to the characters and I really appreciate translation so we aren't entirely lost in the story. Seemed kinda rushed at times but still a fun lighthearted read.

Didn't like this one as much as the others. I was expecting more Ursula backstory and we did kinda get some and some foreshadowing to the next books but just meh
