If you have read previous Evie Mitchell books you have met Farrah and Wolf, however you can dive in here and not be lost.

You Sleigh Me left me smiling from the first word to the last.

Wolf is amazing, and I love how determined Farrah is. You can't help but need them to be together.

I laughed out loud, and swooned a little too.

This was my first Adriana Locke book -I know , I know, I've been living under a rock for the last number of years.

What a cute and adorable way to pop my Locke cherry.

Holden and Sophie's story is full of small town sweetness and light.... and gossips!

You knew where this story was going to end up, and there were no big twists or surprises, however there were lots of smiles.

I loved the residents of this town, and the vibe that they all give off. They love their extended family and will protect them to no end.

I really enjoyed this story, and will be going back and reading some of the older stories.

I only read the short by Fiona Archer (Prince Of Seattle).

This was a great introduction to new characters, and fun to see some old favourites from her Sons of Sydney series.

It is hard with a short story ~5000 words to find that balance between the story being everything insta, and having a tale to tell. Ms Archer did this very well, giving us just enough that when we get full length books later on, we will know a little about these characters.

I can' wait to see what 2021 brings us from this author

Reread.. again

Love this as much on my eleventy-third read as my first.

I have been on Rachel Van Dyken and M. Robinson's mafia journeys right from the start.

And this first collaboration, Mafia Casanova? I hope this is just the start of a wonderful relationship.

We quickly met Romeo Sinacore in the previous books from each author, and my interest was piqued.

And then I was hooked right from the prologue.

There was no holding back in this tale, Eden and Romeo's tale is not hearts and flowers. It is dirty and lusty - and heartbreaking.

I don't want to give anything away, as this is a story that you need to immerse yourself in, and going in a bit blind makes it even more.

The writing is seamless. You would never guess that there was more than one author involved. When it is collabs, I am always trying to figure out who wrote what. For the most part, I couldn't with Mafia Cananova - though there were some parts where I was "Rachel wrote this!".

To me, this has more of a Rachel Van Dyken mafia feel to it than an M. Robinson feel. And I am not saying that to take away from a either author. This book just didn't have the level of angst that I have come to expect and love from Monica's tales.

There were things that I had a pretty good idea where they were heading as I was reading, however there were still twists and turns thrown in.

And I am now hoping, after where this tale took us, that we get many more books from these authors.

I need more.

Straight up, this is my favourite in the Thor's Shipbuilding series.

Give me a Scotsmen, and and I am yours. Add in years of flirtations, a one night stand and a whoops baby, and I adored everytying about Ian and Liv's story.

We have all been at a crossroads, and when Evie reaches hers, I was so happy that she stood up and did what was right for her.

I loved getting more of the Thor's crew, and can't wait to see what we get in the future.

I liked Leah and Remi in the first 2 books in this series , and now we have their story, and I liked it better than the first two.

We are back with the Agozi brothers and all their lives entail, and I liked seeing them awhile down the track from the other books.

Hunter and East bring these stories to life and leave me wanting more.

I need Eli's story, stat!

KU read. 3.5 stars

Won't lie, up to about 35% of this book, I was going to DNF.

Sadie was a crazy kid stalker and I wasn't sure what I thought.

But then things got better and I did keep going and mostly enjoyed the story.

There were some laugh or loud moments, and some emotional moments.

And then we got to the stage of "here we go, here's the ''thing' we always get in the Vi/Pen book.

We thankfully didn't get the same thing, but still something, right on cue.

This was ok, but not my favourite book by this duo

KU read 3.5-4 stars

I recently stumbled across this book in KU ans thought why not?

Quirky character, enjoyable story and feed my love of rugby.

I will read more of this new-to-me author
