"She'd always been my ride or die. There wasn't anything I wouldn't do for her."
___
They love each other. Always have. In every possible way.
___
It's no secret that I'm dearly in love with this series.

I'll always be a Hugh girlie. But Finn? Gosh, he got me after chapter 2!

The way he treats Reese, and how affectionate he is. He's protective but not unbearable. I loved every single piece of him.

Reese is also a very lovely character. I loved seeing her overcome her insecurities and make her way through the fog to what she really wanted.

Their connection is so pure and deep. I fell for both of them.

It's one of the best friends to lovers I've read so far!

1.5/5 🌶
___
She needs to escape. From her surroundings and from herself. Until she starts to find herself. And her men.

This book is something that warms you on the inside. It left me swooning.

Usually, slow burns aren't the best choice for me, but this book, this whole story is so beautifully written that it didn't bother me for a second. 

The pacing was on point for the story and all the characters. Anything else would've felt rushed.

I'm in love with every man and Lily, but I have a special soft spot for Matty.
Oh, Matty boy, you have my heart!

Each character has their quirks, history and problems, but they all complement each other so wonderfully. 

I loved the winter setting, the snowboarding, skiing, and mountain vibes. I want to live there too!

There's a mild cliffhanger, but I need the next book asap because I love the dynamic of this group so much.

"He's not a good man. The thing about it? I don't care."

3.25/5 🌶

He shares his soul and he wants to remember. Until he doesn't. The price he must pay is high.
___
This book.
THIS. BOOK.

I was hooked from the first sentence and I knew immediately that I was going to love this story.

You know those books that you want to devour, but also want to read as slowly as possible because you don't want it to end? This was one of those books for me.

The sci-fi vibes, the spice, the possessive and morally gray MMC. Pure perfection. 

That ending? Holy fvck, I can't wait for the second book to come out.
I'm addicted! Addicted to Harrison, Lane, their relationship, and the plot.

I don't want to get too much into the storyline because I don't want to spoil anything. 
It was really something else and exactly what I needed even though I didn't know I needed it. 

I highly recommend going into this book completely blind if you're able.

If you're not able to and want more details, you can dm me anytime.

"Whatever demons she faced, she wouldn't have to do it alone. Not anymore."

1.75 🌶
___
She escaped, she survived, and she was broken. But not for them.
___
I devoured this book, especially the last 30 percent. 
There are so many great tropes in this book, I loved every second of it.

I love this world, the setting, the magic. And God, I love the bear brothers!

Aurelia is so strong and I admired her for fighting her past, her self-doubt while always staying so warm-hearted.

Mads, my lovely grumpy bear. He was exactly what Aurleia needed to face her fears. He's the best for never letting her down and always holding her up.

The found family trope in this book is everything. Everything. 
Every brother and side character was so endearing, it made my heart ache.
I want to be a part of them! 

@whiskeyXXXX thank you so much for sending me this arc.

This is such an incredible debut novel! 
I highly recommend it!
