I love a small town romance and I love a book written by Kandi so no surprise that I loved this

I love the forbidden aspect and the angst that it brought throughout the whole story

I love that they formed a friendship first and how he supported her dreams and goals from the start and was interested in them

When they finally get together and everyone finding out was so good, I was shocked in the best way

- mayor’s daughter x town bad biy
- shes engaged to someone else 
- small town romance

This was a good listen, I enjoyed the storyline and love a good friend's to lovers, marriage of convenience story

- friends to lovers
- marriage of convenience / fake dating
- forced proximity 
- 3rd person

I’ll definitely come back to this one cos it sounds really good and it was good what i read (and i think its about to get really good and into the main bit of the story) however i just wasnt reaching for it and want to read other books first

Reread via audio 

I really enjoyed the story, however the audio isnt my fave. I think itd work great if it was a duet narration however its a duel narration and the voices of the opposite gender for both narrators wasnt my fave

- small town
- ex football player
- forced proximity
- slow burn

I really enjoyed this story!

- dad's best friend
- age gap
- previous one night stand (2 years ago)
- bull rider x doctor 
- LGBT / MM romance
- small town

I loved the tension building up on when they were finally going to make a move and get together

I love a book with sneaking around and trying to keep a relationship secret and this was so good, I love how some people found out / suddenly came out that they knew the whole time, it was so fun. The way the Dad/Best Friend found out was really good too, I wasn't sure how he was going to find out but I thought it was so good

I'm really loving this small town series and think this is my 2nd fave book so far

From the little sneak peak and hints in this book I'm really looking forward to the next one

Thank you to The Author Agency for the ARC - all opinions are my own

I really struggled with this book, and it's definitely a me thing  idk why but I just wasn't connecting with the story and took until maybe 60/70% to get invested in it

I love Jessica's writing and am a sucker for second chance romances so I was so excited to read this but something with it wasn't working, not sure if it's the slow burn or I just wasn't in the right reading mood when I started (also seeing everyone online saying how much they loved it when I was struggling definitely put me off picking it up cos i wasn't getting the same vibe)

I'm definitely going to give it another shot at some point

- second chance
- it's always been you
- working together to stop their best friends wedding from being a disaster
- forced proximity 

Thank you to Penguin Random House UK and NetGalley for the arc - all opinions are my own

This was such a fun read, I literally flew through it (especially from about 20% onwards which I pretty much read in one sitting)

I really loved the main characters and all the friendships that were formed over the show, it made it such an enjoyable read

Imo there was the perfect mix of drama but also just everyone chilling out around the villa 

I really enjoyed the build up to Cas and Ada getting together, I knew it was coming and couldnt wait for them to get together but I loved seeing all the small moments of them becoming friends initially to then flirting and always being there for each other to finally kissing

My only wish was to see a bit more of the reunion after the 3rd act drama but apart from that I really really enjoyed this book and its the perfect sapphic summer read

- sapphic romance (both bisexual)
- reality TV show setting
- 3rd person, single pov

I will devour anything narrated by these two, they're both so good and I love that this is a duet narration 

I love a grumpy MMC who isn't that grumpy for the people he loves

I really enjoyed the whole surrogacy, forced proximity plot line, the tension building between the two characters, especially at the start when trying to get pregnant was so good

I really liked the whole family and can't wait to read more of the stories in this series 

- pregnancy/surrogate
- forced proximity 
- grumpy MMC
- FMC who rescues animals 
- duet narration 
- dual pov, 1st person 

I went into this completely blind (apart from knowing it was poly) and I had a great time with it 

I loved seeing the different relationships grow over time individually and then come together at the end

- 3rd person, single pov
- poly relationship (F x F x NB)
- mixologist x lawyer X artist
- snowed in together 
- previously established relationship 

Overall I enjoyed this book, I liked the adventure we went on with the main character 

The writing style of this book wasnt my favourite and it took me a little while to get into it

I liked the camping adventure and the growth that we saw from the FMC and also liked all the different camp mates and the different personalities that they had and brought to the story

At times I didn’t understand some of the decisions that the FMC made, such as shutting everyone out and pretending not to know the MMC - I just found it a bit odd

- backpacking adventure
- brothers best friend
- single pov, 1st person
