An enjoyable read. Tessa has such a distinctive writing style which I really enjoy. Normally not a huge 3rd person enjoyer but because there were clear separators/chapters between each persons ‘pov’ i quite liked it

There were a couple of times I got confused, not sure if its just where things didnt get picked up in editing or it just wasnt described clearly enough for me but got lost a couple of times

- small town vibes (idk if it actually is or not)
- 3rd person
- second chance (at a stretch, the almost hooked up when they were children and didnt)

I really enjoyed that this was a mix of personal story's from John's life and history/science

I loved this book, literally couldnt put it down and wanted to keep turning the page to find out what happened next either in Nash and Lina’s relationship or the criminal investigation surrounding Nash getting shot in the previous book. I liked how this book really was able to balance both parts together

Such a fun read, I love Knockermount and all the friends we have there. May or may not have sobbed at the bonus epilogue 

- sharing a bed
- small town

Cannot wait for Lucians and Salones book - i have so many questions already just from the tiny glimpses of their relationship in the series so far

Technically I do think this can be read as a standalone however I do think it makes more sense read in order

I really enjoyed this book, and loved revisiting the world of the SPC and seeing different characters rather than the previous books characters

I like how they had this kind of connection from the start, not sure how to explain it it's not instalove tho, and that there romance/relationship seemed very easy and just seemed to work well together

The dirty talk in this from Ronan is 🥵

Spoilers for the ending below

on the fence about the pregnancy, like did it make the dirty talk hotter, yes. but also i could tell something was coming from Daisy feeling unwell and her symptoms, like there was alarm bells and idk gives me a little bit of an ick

Currently wondering where I can get my own Ronan who will take me for a romantic week in Paris

- billionaire romance
- age gap 
- daddy kink

thank you to Sara Cate and her team for letting me read and review an arc of this book

I love this book and the characters and thought that both the narrators did such a good job at bringing it to life

I really like that Kandi let the platonic relationships thrive in this book as much as the romantic relationship between Leo and Mary

- friends to enemies to lovers
- forced proximity

This series and all the characters will always have a special place in my heart, its the first full series that Ive read by Kandi and will 1000% be diving into her backlist and reading more from her

This was very cute!! I'm a sucker for a forbidden sports romance, and this one was such a good read. 

- pro hockey player x coachs daughter
- one night stand

This book feels like a hug, its so warm and comforting and i can truly get lost in the world of Lovelight Farms and Inglewood forever. BK Borison has such a beautiful way of describing everything I can picture the town, the farm, Stella’s home and Luka so clearly in my head

I liked the plot and all the characters, however the slow pace and being written in 3rd person, it took me a while to read this book and struggled to pick it up and keep reading. Both MCs have issues/fears from their past that they're trying to overcome, and their fears end up holding themselves back from getting together. There is a lot of back and forth of 'oh were happy and we'll be together' to suddenly 'oh actually i cant be with you' and honestly I didnt mind it too much but just wished they got together and stuck with it a lot sooner

- single dad
- small town
- 3rd person

thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for letting me read this book in exchange for my honest opinion

This was a super fun and really quick read for me.

I really enjoyed the storyline of being gay in the spotlight and all of the struggles that come along with that

The conflict resolution left me wanting a little bit more, i felt like it wrapped up quick which works with the pacing of the book but personally just wanted a little more from it

I liked that the story had the addition of articles, emails, tour dates, lyrics, setlist, ao3 style fanfic previews, interviews, transcripts of videos and text messages - it really helped keep the story moving and felt very refreshing 

As much as I love friends to lovers and second chance I really enjoyed the change of pace that this book didn't include those tropes which were in the rest of the series. It really gave a new and interesting dynamic between the main characters

There's a lot of dramatic plot lines in this series which I did enjoy as normally books I read don't include them but by the final one in this book I was kinda over it and just kinda wanted it to be over to get to the HEA

Overall I really enjoyed this series and all the characters and how they were very much intertwined and kept appearing in other books as the series went on

- single and widowed mum
- celebrity
- small town
