Sadly the writing style wasnt for me and i wasnt vibing with it 

I loved this book, I loved the little family and the larger found family vibes

- sports romance (baseball)
- single dad x nanny
- found family
- age gap
- she's his coaches daughter

I love all the tropes in this book so it's not surprise that I loved this book

I loved the banter and the teasing between the main characters

Although I knew the third act conflict was coming I sobbed throughout it

I loved the ending and how the mmc found out that the fmc was coming back

This is a great fast paced omegaverse

I enjoyed all the main characters and loved the meddling town cat - so cute!

I wasn't a huge fan of the spice going from zero to 100 very quick, not my personal cup of tea and also sometimes the lack of communication annoyed me

- omegaverse
- why choose - 3 guys, 1 girl
- small town

If I I could rate this book 6 ⭐'s I would! 

Omg the tension and angst in this book was so good through out!! 

I love how much they hated each other but also at the same time cared so deeply for each other and you could see it even when they weren’t necessarily saying it. The gradual shift between them and slowly opening up to each other was so good.

I love Stephanies writing and this is definitely my fave so far

- hate to love
- sports romance - pro hockey player
- marriage of convenience 
- forced proximity 
- he calls her 'my wife' 50 thousand times and I melt every time

Thank you to Stephanie and her team for the eARC - all opinions are my own

This was so funny, such a great listen

Overall I enjoyed this book, it had a classic Meghan Quinn humour and spice.

I loved the duet narration and love the narrators so it was such a fun listen. 

- best friends brother 
- only one bed
- forced proximity 
- fake marriage 
- duet narration, dual pov 

The first half has a lot of arguments, some fake for show and others real from the MMC not listening to the FMC and it got a bit frustrating at times and did drag a bit but once we hit about 60% the arguments stopped and they got better at communicating. 

This is a slow burn which personally isn't my fave so I felt the first half dragged but the scene with their first kiss and make out was so good, it was worth it. 

Thank you to Meghan and her team for the ALC/eARC - all opinions are my own

1. Beautifully Broken Things - 3.75/5.
I enjoyed this book the twists and turns with the suspense plot were so good, I've seen people say before that they can never guess who it is in Catherine's books and I fully agree with this book, I was shocked at the twists. I liked the romantic relationship and could see how they were drawn to each other but idk I just wasn't ever fully invested in it and kinda felt it was missing something to me
- small town
- romantic suspense
- sheriff MMC


2. Beautifully Broken Life - 4.5/5
I really enjoyed this book, i liked the almost knowing who was going to be the bad guy and not having the huge plot twist at the end. I liked their relationship and how they came together in their time of need and how Liam didn't push Tessa too much but also helped her get her life back. The epilogue I was trying my best not to scream, it was so cute and these two definitely deserve their HEA
- opposites attract
- famous MMC
- FMC running from her past
- small town
- romantic suspense

3. Beautifully Broken Spirit - 4/5.
I really enjoyed this, I loved that they had been friends their whole lives and how they just knew and understood each other. The plot twists at the end with who the bad guys were I wasn't expecting it and it was such a good twist
- snowed in together
- only one bed
- brothers best friend
- friends to lovers
- single mum
- small town romance
- romantic suspense 

I listened to these on audio and really enjoyed the narrators

I love being back in Rome, I love these characters and the Walker family

I loved the meet cute in this book! It was so good and unique 

- opposites attract
- marthas vineyard setting 
- bookish MMC
- chef FMC 
- dyslexia rep

I really enjoyed the first half of the book but then struggled with the second half. I think it was mainly due to the pacing in the second half, it just felt off to me with the more fast pace and sometimes more telling you that something happened rather than showing you, it did pick back up again at the end tho

Thank you to Penguin for the eARC - all opinions are my own 

If i could give this infinity stars i would, my fave EmHen book
