so far 2023 has been such a good year of discovering new romances. this was like perfect. it made me tear up

i love jess!!! and her and dain were so good together. the third act conflict was very creative and well done. overall i enjoyed, but it wasnt miraculously special

this was so fun and sweet! i guessed the plot twist lol. i appreciated the lack of a 3rd act breakup!!!! 

this was my first ever mafia book. it was good. the spice was nice. it was a little insta-lovey and it took me a while to come around to declan but i ended up very engaged w the story. 

this was fine, but i just didn’t really care about any of it. the premise was interesting, the romance was okay, and the characters were somewhat endearing, but it was not anything special in my opinion. definitely not one of my fav historicals, but i would read more from this author. 

not super fun to read, but IMPORTANT to read

this was pretty good. i read it for my early modern british lit class, and we did a subversive reading of it. i did find some parts boring, though
