Okay, I read this book in one sitting and I have no regrets. I just couldn't put it down. 

Remember when I said I was an Alpha girlie? Yeah well, the Shadow Man beats them all.

I had massive Zade vibes and we all know, Zade is my eternal number one. So I'm sorry, but there was no other option than to fall in love with the Shadow Man.

This book was my favorite of this entire series so far. It was dark, heartbreaking, and so much needed healing for Lyla. She's one of the strongest women ever and I adore her! 

And Dainn, a sociopath with no ability to have feelings? Everything he says and does is pure perfection!

I'm so sad that the final book hasn't come out yet and I really don't know how I'm supposed to wait. 

I'll say it until the day I die - READ THIS SERIES!

I can't explain how much I love this book!

I fell in love with Zephyr the second I met her, and I fell in love with her love for Alpha. She's literally pure light.

And Alpha? Oh, Alpha. I'll always be rooting for you. I still can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I love him even a little more than Tristan. I don't know if it's his story or the way he adores Zephyr or just both of them together. 

Their story is so unique and I felt every single emotion with my whole heart!

We don't have to talk about the great plot that runs through all the books. It never gets boring!

Well, I'm trying to say: "GO AND READ THIS SERIES NOW!"

Well, I liked this audiobook. I really did, but a few things didn’t satisfy me. The development from enemies/rivals to lovers was too sudden for me, the movie setting and filming was too present, and the ending was way too quick.
Also, I didn't feel much of a connection to the characters. They were nice, but yeah. There's not much to say.
It's an entertaining read, but it didn't hook me as much as would've liked.

But the voices of the narrators were great. The male voice in particular was really good.

I was so excited to read Dante and Amara's story and it's such a good book!

I loved getting to know them better, learning why they were the way they were in the first two books, and reading how they navigated their rocky road to get to their happy ending.

They're both such lovable characters and their connection is incredible. How well they know and can read each other, and that it was always only the other for them, made me gush.

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. 
It took me a little time to get used to the narrators, and the world building isn't as strong, but overall it's a very lighthearted and enjoyable fantasy romance. I can't wait to get started on Damon's story.

It's no secret that I'm a sucker for the age gap trope. And if you're into insta love, this is the book for you!

Daniel's so sweet with Kelsey, I can't. The way he falls head over heels for her and never misses an opportunity to show her just that is so wholesome.

Kelsey had major fears about Daniel being a football player, but he nipped them in the bud in his wonderful way.

The spark of their connection immediately jumped out at me, and it was so much fun to read their story.

The side characters were also very lovely and I can't wait for this series to continue so I can get to know the others better.

I was so excited to get back to Cottonwood Cove and I wasn't disappointed. The way I devoured this book was insane.

Georgia is sunshine personified and I absolutely enjoyed her. She has this way of always being cheerful without being annoying. She's a really lovable FMC.

Maddox is a grumpy billionaire boss, but not too grumpy which I appreciated.
He was never rude to Georgia and always made her feel good. 

They are a very cute couple and I loved their bickering.

The drama was perfect for me and I absolutely enjoyed their story. 

Thanks for the opportunity to read this arc.

Under the Stars is book two in the Cottonwood Cove series and I highly recommend it!

I received this book as a netgalley arc and was very excited because I liked the blurb.
 

It's a good storyline and I liked the writing style, but it was very slow and most of the plots were predictable. 

There were a lot of side characters that deserved a big punch in the face and I would've liked it if Morgan stood up for herself a little more. 

The last third definitely made the whole story. Nonetheless, I think I'll continue the series because the last chapter was kind of crazy and I need to know what happens next.

This series has been sitting on my shelf for quite a while. And a few weeks ago, I thought it was time to dive back into my mafia era.
 

I really liked The Preacher, but The Reaper? It was just so good, I'm at a loss for words! 

I'm obsessed with Morana and Tristan. 

Tristan isn't much of a talker, but when he decides to say something... pure perfection! He's the perfect mafia boyfriend.
 

And Morana has these big badass vibes. She was instantly one of my favorite book girlfriends. She's so strong and smart, I adore her. 

I also really enjoyed the story. I couldn't tell how everything would turn out until the end. It was so captivating, I couldn't put it down. 

Hopefully, I can continue this series asap. I'm officially obsessed!
