Yaaaaass b*tches! We're back in the True North-verse, and I can't get enough!

And a kinda fake kinda thingy was a lot of fun - but man it must have been so exhausting for our lovely lady Aria. I spent the whole time I was reading, waiting for the shoe to drop and the s*** show to start up.

I love the bite and snark between Callan and Aria, but oh man the sparks flying between them is enough to start a bushfire!

I adore the rest of the room mates, particularly Aria's besty Sophie. However, I need all of these people to get their story - please let it happen!

This is another great installment in the Moo U series, and I am not right onto the next book.

#Quemily

Emily is back home on the island (not by choice) and hijinx with her island family (and the best circle of friends a girl can ever have).

Quinn is here to rip her a new one about things he thinks she did, but then the connection they had before sparks back to life, and ignite (even without the help of Tess and her lighter).

You can't help but want them to get together. Heck, her friends have are already shipping them and Emily just needs to come to the party.

I love these people. They had me laughing, they had me rolling my eyes, had me wanting to be part of their group.

Will #Quemily get their HEA? Well, for that you will need to read for yourself.

I am also happy that there will be more of the Summerset Island crew coming in the future, woot!

Thoroughly enjoyable tale, with the final Goode girl finding the man who will change her life

I adored him as Gabriel Sauvageau, however I fell in love with him as Gareth Severand.

And Feiicity really does come out of her shell in this installment of the Goode Sisters,

This is a slow burn (and I will say, it did drag at the beginning a bit, but not for too long)

I liked that right from the start of them knowing each other, they both saw past face value of each other.

And I adored seeing mousey, wallflower Felicity come into her own and out from her sister's shadows.

Loved seeing the other Goodes and their loves.

ARC received for an honest review

Woohoo,

Marcus and Gabe are back, and this reader couldn't have been happier.

The first books bad intentions lead to some damn good times in Good Intentions.

I loved the Gabe didn't just give in and roll over (well, he DID do that hahah), and made Marcus work for it. Yeah, sure things got back on track pretty quickly, but there was growth in them both with the way they dealt with issues that arose between,

Plus, they were f*^k hot while doing so, so that helps hahah

Full of smart dialogue, witty banter and so much love between and for this unlikely couple, I really enjoyed getting the conclusion to this duet.

I hope we see more of these lovelies in the future.

ARC received from Ventura Press/Karyn Sepulveda for an honest review

A beautiful story of women, separated by centuries, overcoming adversity and paving a way for themselves and those who follow.

Ms Sepulveda has woven a wonderful, inspiring story of female friendships, and of how when we band together instead of tearing each other down, we can do inexplicably linked, and you can't help but be a cheerleader for them both.

I feel that Aisleen's descendants could have been big movers and shakers in the Suffragette movement over a century later.

I was swept away in Anna and Aisleen's courageous stories, and once I picked up this book to start, I didn't want to put it down (darn that work thingy getting in the way of reading!)

Ms Sepulveda brings us strong, brave women who don't give up, and I can't wait to see what she brings us in the future.

ARC received from author for an honest review

N.R Walker, you had me at rock star!

Sigh. Maddox and Roscoe are just so dreamy (whoops, that's the sound of my teenage, NKOTB, boy band loving self coming out!)

But seriously, how much did I adore Code Red? Yeah, that much.

I loved that this didn't just show the "OMG being an rock star is awesome" side of the business,

I loved that is showed the toll that fame takes on the body, mind and relationships.

But most of all, I LOVED Maddox and Roscoe finally taking that one giant leap from friends to more. It is a slow burn from pining for each other to a relationship full of love, caring, support. I adored how grounding Roscoe is for Maddox, It showed such love, such trust between two vulnerable men.

Thank you NR Walker for normalising mental illness/anxiety/depression too.

I ran the full gamut of emotions whilst I was reading Code Red, From the banter between the 5 best friends that had me laughing out loud, to the not so subtle looks across the room that that had me swooning, I enjoyed each and every moment of reading this book.

In fact, I think this is a new favourite from this author for me.

I do hope that in the future we do get more of the stories of the rest of the boys in the band.

Yaaaaass b*tches! We're back in the True North-verse, and I can't get enough!

And not only are we backin Vermont, we are back at the Speakeasy.

When life gave Phoebe lemons, she should have thrown those lemons at her douchey ex, but instead she made lemonade...and plenty of other delicious goodies, and I was very jealous of her landlord/new friend/more Sam who got to taste test it all

I could feel the pull between them through the pages, even though neither of them wants it.

I did like Sam's grandma, though I am so into the new agey/white witchy stuff, but it was kind of adorable with Sam.

One thing that did annoy me (and thank goodness that it did stop the second half of the book, as it was sooooo eyeroll-worthy) was the "kegel" thing, You will see it when you read it, and it might not annoy you as it did me.

I loved getting more of the characters I have grown to love in the past, and am looking forward to more of the Taproom series.

Want to meet me at the Speakeasy (really, you do) want to meet me at the Speakeasy, No ifs or buts about it.

I really enjoyed Belle and Ty's story - I mean, who doesn't like a second chance with the one?

Belle was always the party girl, the way to being a top lawyer - so why has she turned up at the Speakeasy Taproom as the new chef?

Her story is not always an easy one to read - I don't want to say why things are like they are, as I feel you need to go into blind and find that out yourself - but I felt that the author deals with it well.

Ty is just adorable and lovely and I want one of my own.

I have to say it is a few days since I finished this book, and I had already forgotten about the pregnancy mentioned in the blurb. I really had to dive deep into the memory banks and the was oh yeah, that happened.

So whilst I liked story while I was reading it, it didn't really stick with me like other books in the series did - though Belle really did.

Get thee to a book seller and buy your own Ty!
