 *4 Stars*

This was a good book. I liked both main characters - they were easy to like and to want good things for them. Many of the secondary characters I liked as well, but some did take me a while to warm up to. I really disliked Preston, but that's the whole point lol. I read this fairly quickly as its quite an easy read. Great world building. I've picked up the next book ready to see what happens in this world next.

I'll be honest - the only reason I'm rating this 4 Stars is because of the other ongoing stories that are evolving in this series. Phury himself wasn't a character I was too interested in, in this book. I liked Cormia. But that part of the story just left me all meh. The other parts though, with JM, Qhuinn and Blay particularly, had me really invested, and after many stops and starts with this book, and deciding to persevere, I really did enjoy it from around halfway through. I'm really keen to keep reading this series, but I was disappointed and did struggle with this one, especially at the start.

This wasn't a bad short story and introduction to Whitney and her friends. It interested me enough that I'd like to read Whitney's full length novel. If you follow me, you know I'm not the best with novella's and short stories, so that's a good thing for me to say lol. Hopefully I can try to read her book soon.

This was a very easy to read kind of story - whilst some big things happen during the story, its far fetched and out there so very easy to go along with. The whole treasure hunting vibe makes it fun and interesting, and I focussed more on this side of things than the romantic side. I wanted to see which characters would do certain things and where the hunt would lead. I read this in around 24 hours. Would recommend.

This was fairly heavy with some of the content and life situations our 4 main characters are dealing with. I really liked the whole Dear Life group idea and how we got to know each of these characters slowly, and see them change, grow, and hope to start living life the way they want to again. Quite a serious book but another great one from Meghan Quinn.

ARC kindly received for an honest review.

Cowboy and Sully's story was very interesting - the situation that Sully has come out of, and all that she has to deal with is absolutely huge. Cowboy/Callahan is the perfect match for her and is so sweet and understanding and supportive of her.

Sully herself is just so strong, and the path she is determined to forge is wonderful. I loved all the Dark Knights/Whiskey/Ranch characters, and enjoyed reading this one. Definitely looking forward to more from this series.

A great ending to this trilogy. I really liked how each character grew and how different plot lines played out in this one. Another instalment that was very hard to put down and kept me turning the pages. Love this world and these characters.

After the cliff-hanger of book 1, I had to dive straight into book 2. There were more and more indications of secrets everywhere and also much more in terms of getting to know the boys and what's really going on in their lives. The world building in this series is fabulous and I just can't put these books down. I can't decide who I love more, Banjo or Rafe, and I know Colt is gonna come from nowhere too. I'm so keen on these books - there's mystery, intrigue, sexual chemistry, great friendships - highly recommend and with the way this ended on yet another huge cliffy, I jumped straight into book 3!

After reading the Saint View Prison Trilogy, I had to come back to where this world began, and read about Colt and the gang. Elle Thorpe has created a world with these different series that is so easy to fall into, and let me tell you, I also didn't think that reverse harem books would be my thing, but apparently there are lol.

I was drawn into the mystery of Lawson and what Lacey is doing, the pull of Banjo, Rafe and Colt, and Lacey's fun friendship with Jagger. I really enjoyed reading this and trying to piece things together as the book went along - but that ending? Elle sure knows how to do a cliff-hanger!

This one surprised me - at the start I was really not feeling it - I wanted to give up, but I was buddy reading with my friend and there were some characters that I did like - Nate, Henry, Robbie - but I was not a huge fan of Stassie at the beginning. It probably took me close to half way through before I really found myself enjoying this and then suddenly unable to put the book down.

I'm really glad I didn't give up and pushed through because the book really was something by the end. There is huge character development with Stassie, and there are some really great moments with her, Lola and the hockey boys. Henry is a huge favourite of mine - I hope he gets his own story. Nate was so adorable, such a sweetie and a great hero for this story.

In the end I really liked how things turned out, and thoroughly enjoyed the second half of this book. I would recommend, even if you're not a fan of the first part of the book. And I'd like to continue the series too.
