Royce is here and i was so looking foreword to his story.
He was the silent type in all the previous books and i was wondering how the author will develop his character because he is a favorite for many readers. And i must admit that i wasn't disappointed one bit while reading it.
Brielle is a sweet badass girl that puts his ass on the ground every single time and i love how fierce but also feminine and human she is.
Everyone makes appearances in this story and it feels like a loved family series has come to an end and i really don't want that.
Loved it more than anything.

If you have read other books by the author you already know that this is one hell of a ride.
A slow burn friends to lovers that goes beyond anything purely romantic, this story will tag at your heartstrings in so many directions that you will remember it for a long time.
While i personally hate slow burn romance, this one is necessary and so well done that i haven't even realise how i lost track of time because i just couldn't stop reading from the first chapter to the last page.
Beautifully written, emotional and full of romantic elements, this is a must read story for all the genre lovers

My all-time favourite historical romance series is Maiden Lane and of course, I had to read this book as well.
I loved the characters with all their flaws and strength, with all their insecurities and love for each other and their families and friends. The banter, the chemistry and strong opinions were all I was looking for and expected from this story and I got a plenty amount of each with every chapter and a new page turned.
I’m so looking forward to the next one in the series.

Having to face the concern of why her husband Richard disappeared and the almost dead schoolgirl, Alice, pointing at him as the last person who saw her, along with all the neighbours’ suspicious resentment and even her family members, it’s not an easy life for Maddie. 

This is a very enjoyable and entertaining domestic thriller that kept me guessing throughout the whole story. There are many occasions when I found the next scenes predictable but there are also some that were certainly unexpected and that’s a good point for me as the author has managed to keep me invested and intrigued till the last page. 

A great read from a new to me author that I’m looking forward to his other addicting stories. 

Ghost Whisperer and Jennifer Love Hewitt here I come.

I loved that series so much and it feels like a lifetime since I was so intrigued and caught up with everything, especially one episode that stayed with me till today. And that exactly epic love story was all the time in my mind while reading this book.
It’s such a heartbreakingly beautiful love story that will be raked about so much and hopefully turned into a movie because it has all the elements for a blockbuster.
While I wasn’t completely comfortable with some of the actions that Gabriel tried to find out what’s really happening or even to help Layla, the story has so many layers of suspense and romance intertwined that it’s hard not to see how his love for her has no limits.
I’m glad that the resolution came from her part and a bit shocked that he kept up with it.

Even you don’t care for the paranormal books, this is a must-read story.

I’m in love this story and the characters, so many feelings and beautiful moments

I loved Not my Romeo and was so looking forward to Aiden story. And of course this is another must read Ilsa book.
Told in dual POV, with two characters that seem to be so opposite in every possible way, we all know what happens with magnets attract.
A love story full of quirky dialogue, laugh out loud moments and some serious feelings as well, Aiden and Giselle are so perfect for each other.
Forced proximity, forbidden love and well deserved happily ever after, this story is a must read for any romance lovers.


NetGalley arc from Montlake

I love a great romance story and this one has everything I'm looking forward in any new book.
From the first chapter, I was drawn into the story of Rosie as a romance writer and how sometimes, a writer block can be so frustrating but luckily her friends are there to save the day and they all embarked on a beautiful holiday in Thailand.

The sights, the food and all the beautiful sensations are felt throughout the pages, while Rosie and Jackson find their way into each other's souls.

The banter, the chemistry and steamy scenes are greatly done here and the heartbreaking and angsty moments aren't missed either.

I'm so looking forward to the next books in the trilogy because I'm hooked and need more of these characters and their love story.

Driven by Rebecca Zanetti is the fourth book in the series, and although I have read none of the previous ones, I can say I could easily read it as a stand-alone.

Angus and Nari are just like smoke and fire in this story. Their chemistry and connection it's a unique occurrence that I’ve read lately, especially in a romantic suspense that kept me on the edge at all times.

There are so many explosive moments, both coming from their steamy scenes or trying to save their life on the rollercoaster hunt for the man they thought dead a long time ago.

The side characters are adding so much more to this story at the right time and overall it's one of my favourite books of the year and I love when I found new authors to read and look forward to their books.

Lovely romance story between two young adults that haven't had it easy in their life.
One of them is on the run and on the way of redemption and the other is trying to make a better life for her and her brother.
There are a lot of feelings and emotions here, many suspenseful moments and some heartbreaking ones as well. Decisions to take and willingness to follow those dreams.
I am hesitant in how to rate this book because it has a few repetitions that weren't missed and it felt a bit too rushed in places.
Everything adds up for a love story that has happily ever after for now and there's so much more to see in the next books.

I’ve been a fan of BA Paris books for quite a while now and The therapist is a must read psychological thriller.

Starting a new life with her boyfriend is always exciting and opens up the opportunity to know more and better about the other person. Because it's a closed community, everyone knows everyone and everything about their life.

Soon after, she founds out that actually there's a lot she doesn't know about him and especially what happened previously in the same house and with the previous owner, a therapist.

The dialogue and the side characters are adding more mystery, and each interaction brings more questions and answers and some predictable moments and some very unexpected turns.

It's gripping and got me engrossed in a story full of layers to unveil so many twists and secrets.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy
