Another great story from Lauren Blakely! I loved the ADHD rep with seeing how Carter deals with it, without making it all about him and trying to ‘fix’ it. The romance is amazing, the move from friend-dates to the bedroom was so smoothly done and the steam was so good!

Definitely go for the audio if you can, Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton did such a good job bringing these characters to life!

This book was amazing! I love Remy and Sanden, they’re both such great people dealing with very heavy things. Not just what they encounter on their jobs (EMT and fire fighter), but also in their personal lives. The balance between the heavy topics like emotional abuse in previous relationships, and the sweet moments of them falling for each other is so good. It never feels too heavy, but it is handled with the seriousness it requires. It’s emotional and sweet, and I just couldn’t put the book down! And I loved Gabe popping in now and then, I think it’s always great to see characters from previous books again!

Stuck with Tuck

Daisy Jane

DID NOT FINISH: 60%

This book is about 100 pages too long, I didn’t like it enough to spend any more time.  I never felt the connection between Tucker and Vienna, and his scenes with his adult film colleagues were much hotter and emotional than the ones between the two of them. I kept going, hoping it would get better, but I’m tapping out.

Whoa, this book is Hot, Hot, Hot! On top of the amazing steam is a great story about discovering what you want and not letting society and what other people think get in your way. I loved it!

The duet narration definitely added to the enjoyment, the audio was so good! All narrators were amazing, the three of them did a great job!

What’s a better setting for a book when it’s stupid hot outside than it to be set in winter and there’s talk of snow and American football? Nothing, exactly. This book helped me cool down, even during the steamy moments (and they were definitely steamy!). I loved it! I just wanted to hug both of them several times, and tell them everything would be okay, haha!

So good! The tension from the case is so clear, I couldn’t stop reading. I loved how the relationship between Marsh and Levi kept developing, without interfering with everything that was happening. On to the concluding book!

Such a great balance between the suspense of the case they’re trying to solve and the tension of the romance that’s starting between Levi and Marsh. I loved it! No other option than to start the second book immediately!

lighthearted fast-paced

A quick read with fun moments, but it didn’t manage to get me to care about either Summer or Beckett. Everything felt a bit to clinical for me, but it’s hard to figure out what was missing for me.

This was such a cute book! I loved it so much, a perfect summer read that mixes lighthearted and serious so well. Be warned, you will want some pie after reading this!
