I really liked The Fine Print, but I was never fully pulled into the story. I can’t really put my finger on why. There were so many sweet and romantic moments throughout the book that kept me reading, and I want to read Declan’s and Cal’s story as well!

Took me 5 days to get to 35% of the book, I kept procrastinating reading it. The constant reminders of the age gap got on my nerves quickly. Especially each time Dex compares Winnie to a child and then sentences later goes on how attracted he is to her. Couldn’t do it anymore.

I loved Mainstay! It was a great read. I’ve been curious about Meg and Gage’s story since book one, and it did not disappoint. It’s a book filled with love, friendship, suspense, and family. A great ending to the series!

This was such a great read! I loved everybody, and the mystery was a fun extra development in the story. I love the found family that’s coming together slowly throughout the story, and Silas is so good! He might come on strong every now and then, but he has a great support system to also tell him when to knock it off and he actually listens. Perfect summer read!

I’m getting repetitive in my reviews for Lauren’s books, but this was another amazing story! Jude and TJ are so good together, and they squeezed my heart and never let go. I couldn’t stop listening to it, and I’m in desperate need of book 2! The full cast definitely elevated this story to an even greater level. Love, love, love!

I’m struggling a little bit finding the right words how I feel about this book. I really liked it, and the way the hard topics are handled (definitely read the content warnings!). My heart broke for Will when he was talking to his best friend about everything. At the same time I felt that the romance of Quinn and Will was too insta-love for me. The communication between Quinn and Will could have been better, some parts felt rushed to me but also not discussed at all. This book can be read as a standalone but I do recommend reading Two For Roughing before this one to understand everybody better.

What an amazing read! A great balance between sweet and steamy, between serious and lighthearted. Kept me reading way past my bedtime, I just couldn’t put it down!

I loved this book so much! It was just what I needed. The story is challenging, sexy, it makes you think. I would’ve loved it if the choices Avery had to make played out a little more on the page, but honestly that’s a minor detail compared to how much I loved it.
