6 stars, yes it's a thing.

Holy wow! This book... there are no words. I truly think this is Tijan at her best. I thought Mason and Fallen Crest couldn't be topped, they have been.
This book is heartbreakingly beautiful, and sad, and confronting, but it's incredible. Mackenzie is so real. She's strong and she's weak, she's angry and she wants to be loved and whole but she's not. It might sound sappy, but I think Mackenzie is an inspiration for girls, and guys, everywhere who are dealing with stuff they don't know how to deal with. And Ryan... he's everything. He's so loving, and strong, and supportive, and understanding. I thought Mason Kade was my ultimate book boyfriend but Ryan Jensen totally wiped him out.
I absolutely loved this book. If you are sensitive to certain things, like suicide, I wouldn't recommend it, but otherwise, you need to read this book A.S.A.P.

3.5 stars

I love Kaylee’s books and this one was okay. I’m glad she tackled rockstar, although I would’ve loved more of that theme, it was all too normal for me. Usually with rockstar there’s more than a few complications involved and here there were none.
Also, her use of inner thoughts for me are worded a little childishly. This is something that was vastly improved in her future books, but here it really stands out.

Other than that, I love the way Kaylee writes. It’s gentle and there isn’t unnecessary drama or outrageously over the top. A solid read.

3.5 stars.

While I think this book was marginally better than Emphatic, in terms of "rockstar-ness", I still think there was a heap missing.
I wanted more. More music, more drama, although what there was was good, just more.
I also wished, again, that some of the terms used were more sophisticated, more mature. It's a theme in Kaylee's writing that does really bug me.
That being said, I do really love the way she writes relationships. There's no muss, no fuss, no unnecessary drama. I just wanted a little oomph, something to really take this book to the next level.

I’m not entirely sure about this book. The first half seemed to drag for me, the second went faster, but still, not enough happened. There was so much promise with this book, but I don’t think things were developed enough. I wanted more. More drama, more development, more everything. I’m sure I’ll probably read the second book, but this wasn’t a favourite, sorry.

This book should've been right up my alley. I LOVE MotoGP, so, this book should've been a favourite of mine. It wasn't.
First off, you RIDE a motorbike, you don't drive it. And people who do that for a living are called RIDERS, not drivers.
Second, 4 weeks without sex isn't a long time. The fact Emma was going on about it like it was the end of the world was comical.
Third, the word 'because' does not need to be used as much as it was. Cut it out and start a new sentence.
Fourth, the fact Emma called Carson 'baby' when they weren't even a thing weirded me out. Why did she do That?
Fifth, and this is the biggie, this book was crying out for Carson's pov. So much could've been added to the story if this had happened. Every time I ended a chapter I hoped I'd see his name at the top of the page.
Sixth, I would've loved to have seen more development after the newspaper saga. It was all rather quick.
So, in all, a let down.

3.5 stars.

I liked this book. It had a lot of things I like; fast cars, hot boys, enemies to lovers. But what I wanted was more romance. I think too much of the story was based on Leigh fighting her feelings, and not enough on developing them. I also wanted more Max, much more Max.
In spite of this, I still liked this book and would recommend it.

I loved this book! I loved the humour, the steam, the hockey!
Nate was hot, and sweet, and the nerdiness was fantastic.
Rebecca was sassy, and funny, and just enough.
Bingley was a great addition too! The cover is exactly spot on as well, so hot, so nerdy!
I thought this might descend into too much humour, but it was just enough. A great read!

I liked this book. The story was strong, Layla was awesome. She’s strong, she’s sassy, and she was likeable. Cruz was strong, silent, and protective. I think I would’ve liked a little more detail. I would’ve loved more depth after the text message, and definitely more in between the last chapter and the epilogue. I think there was so much more than could’ve been explored there but it was kind of brushed over, especially with what Layla revealed. I also got a bit annoyed with the use of Spanish and there being no explanation for what was said. I don’t mind another language, but an explanation would’ve been great. For me, that’s what prevented this book being a 5 star read.
I did like the book, and the supporting characters so I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

I absolutely loved this book! I love how feisty and fierce Dylan is, and how incredibly sweet and romantic Reese is. Joey is fantastic and Brooke is interesting.
Such a great group, and a great story!

I wanted to like this book. It had everything I love; enemies to lovers, secret societies, sports, but it all the plot points were so rushed I just couldn’t.
The rate at which things happened didn’t allow for any real development, and although the relationship between Colton and Eloise played out how I like, I wanted more!! And the surrounding issues needed to be developed more in order to pack a much bigger and exciting punch. As it was, I was never really worried what would happen because it was resolved so quickly.
And as a side note, the hotel scene, not at all my cup of tea, and a little out of the blue. It was a great example of how if things were developed more, it would have fit, but unfortunately it didn’t.
Sorry.
