If you like a misunderstood MMC allow me to introduce you to Abel because he may be the best representation of that trope I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading about. This man 🥹 I didn’t think much of him in the previous books, he just seemed dark and moody but getting to know him here opened up my eyes and now I’m obsessed. Sloane was the perfect compliment to him, she’s sunshine and light and the way she drew him out of his shell and showed him there was nothing about him that was shameful was everything. He’s never felt a sense of belonging before and the way he fit in with her and her adorable kids made me swoon and cry. Lena always brings the heat too and this was no exception 🥵 There’s been a mystery running throughout this series about the Kings mom and more details were revealed here and my jaw was on the floor, I need more information pls!! Loved this one and cannot wait for the next book 

Gah this was sooo good and definitely will be one of my favorite romances at the end of the year. This is what I would call an incredibly well rounded romance, it’s full of messy angsty moments, the characters are well drawn and relatable, the setting gives all the amazing vibes and provides a beautiful backdrop for an emotional second chance romance and besides the romance the core friend group is everything you want in a secondary plot and more. It’s also deeply romantic and there were so many gorgeous quotable moments. I can’t say enough good things about this one, no notes. If you’re a romance reader this is a must! ​

It’s been years since I read Best Day Ever but Paul is the type of character that is unforgettable and being back inside his world was so entertaining. It’s not often that a thriller makes me laugh but Paul is so unhinged and over the top I couldn’t help myself. I think going into this knowing as little as possible is the way to go, it’s such a fun and wild popcorn thriller, knowing nothing really made it a blast for me. If you like domestic suspense with unlikable and untrustworthy narrators this is for you. If somehow you missed the first book definitely read it first, you’ll be happy knowing the backstory of this man. 

This book is a love letter to summer camp, and even though that’s not something I ever did as a child I really enjoyed this one. It’s part friendship fiction and part romance, you actually get two separate romances for both Jessie and Hillary which was fun. The authors did a great job at making me feel like I was right alongside everyone at camp and the adult camp aspect was unique and entertaining. This is the author duos third summery book and I have to say, they nailed it again, I’ll be looking forward to reading their summer releases for as long as they continue writing them. If you wanna a seasonal read that has a little something for everyone this was great! ​

I’ve read a couple of the authors books before and I really enjoy her style of suspense, there’s a quiet subtlety to it that I appreciate. I was very invested in this one from the start, I was so curious about Grace’s intentions and wondered where it was all going. I continued to be engaged throughout, there were plenty of smaller twists and turns to keep my attention but the big final reveal fell a little flat and lost me a bit. When the characters motivations were exposed I was underwhelmed and had hoped for a bit more but overall this was still an enjoyable read for me and I’ll definitely continue to read the authors books. 

I’ve been looking forward to the start of this brand new series since I finished the last Landmark Mountain book and it did not disappoint! A whole series of single dads is a dream for me, that trope is one of my very favorites and you also get forced proximity, sports and a dash of enemies to lovers. Seeing Weston learn how to be a dad was one of the cutest things ever and Sadie stepped into a parental role with grace and compassion. While this was beyond adorable it also had so much depth as Sadie grieves the loss of her sister. She’s in such a devastating situation I truly felt for her and was so happy when she got her HEA with Weston. To my surprise and delight there was some amazing crossover here with characters from Landmark Mountain AND a mention of some characters from Laura Pavlov’s Magnolia Falls series! I adore when authors drop those little Easter eggs, such a fun treat. A great start to a new series, I cannot wait to get to read more about the other single dads. 

Give me a domestic suspense where a spouse has hidden things from their partner and I’m always interested but I’m even more invested if the author can put their own unique spin on things and I think the author managed to do that here. This is character driven, and as much as there is a solid plot it really is more about Regan and John and it dives deep into who they truly are at their core. I really relayed to Regan as a mother who will do anything for their kids. People say this all the time as a type of throwaway comment but she really proved it here. There were some really solid reveals and one in particular was unexpected for me but I don’t want to say much more to keep things a surprise. Overall I have no major complaints, this was an engaging mystery. 

Based on the title you obviously know this will be full of secrets and lies but I was actually surprised by how many twists and turns this had. There were so many reveals I lost count, it was a constant and steady stream of subtle turns and sometimes downright shocking twists. It definitely kept me engaged and ready, I truly never knew exactly what would happen next. This is complex and intricately plotted, I would describe it as a smart thriller where not every single thing is spelled out for you but the author lays a trail and allows you to put the pieces together yourself. While it’s heavily plot driven there was also really good character development and depth making it such a multifaceted read. Fans of Harlan Coben will like this one, definitely similar vibes for me. 

This was an unexpected delightful listen. The premise was unique and the story was quirky and charming but also emotional and heartwarming. I adored Delphie and her growth was so sweet
