I'm so here for Orion & Blue. Like damn yes for some teacher/student fated mates. I'm calling it now. Elysian mates. Those two.
OF COURSE there's a fucking hell week on top of the regular hell the twins face, why not make it interesting. It felt like a no brainer when they were acing all of the tests, and I just wanna see what their damn orders are!!
Sofia is an angelic Pegasus who needs to be protected, and we also need to see some Xavier bonding. ASAP. Get that boy into therapy.
The D & T care taking scene and then when they wake up and feel peace. My fucking heart aches. Caleb is a distraction, Darius is end game.
Peaches are the sexiest fruit, and Orion & Blue's little peach filled adventure was hot.
The entire scene at Darius' house was awesome. Tory meeting Xavier and treating him like he mattered broke my heart. And his little "thank you" when he hugged her was so precious. The bike racing. The unintentional protecting. I'm HERE FOR THIS. Stop trying to persuade me with some sexy vampire sexcapades. I wanna see that Dragon Dick.
But then back to the bullying. The angst. My heart is over here doing backflips with the hot and coldness of the heirs & twins.
The horny cliffhanger is too much! WE ALMOST GOT THE SEXY SCENE. ALMOST GOT TO SEE SOME DRAGON FUCKING. You know that pull between them is some Elysian mates shit too.
I'm also such a sucker for those tiny fleeting moments. Glances when they're both tuned into one another, feeling the other one nearby, how their fire goes insane when they're near each other. It's fucking catnip.
I ALSO CALLED IT ON THE TWINS ORDER. CALLED IT. The foreshadowing in the series is *chefs kiss.
Ok time to never sleep and dive into the next book cause these fucking cliffhangers hurt and I need to know what's next.

Light & fluffy romance. Teacher & firefighter, second chance romance & neighbors.
Loved Marianne and Connell. They had communication issues that I could really relate to. I also really fell for the writing style. I felt like I understood how each character assumed the other understood what they were thinking, and when miscommunications arrived, they were confused with it and didn't want a conflict. I felt that very hard.
I think the book touched a lot on abuse and having Marianne mistreated for so long and how that impacts her future relationships with people and her overall self worth. Connell was so internalized with his anxieties and thoughts, and I really empathized with him. He felt comfortable sharing himself with one person and how Marianne was his own locked vault made him feel safe and loved. She kept his secrets and loved him, which made him want to open up more with her. I definitely thought he should have treated her MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better in high school, but he eventually grew up and out of it, and apologized for his dicking around.
The ending was so frustrating!! SpoilerWe waited so long, watched them go through so much bullshit and growth just to have him leave. But also I understand. I would never let an opportunity go just because I was living in the same spot as my partner. They could have made long distance work though... It's also hard because we watch them grow up through pretty important years in their lives, but they are only seniors in college. They have the rest of their lives to meet people, but their chemistry and connection to one another feels like it'll have them tethered together throughout their lives, even if they remain good friends and confidants. I wanted to know so much more!! Give me 50 year old Connell and Marianne please!!

Apparently continuing on with the MC binging. It's a very dark, dom/sub romance, with a 10 year age gap. I appreciated the plot in this one compared to the other books, but this wasn't my favorite pairing of lovers. (Nova & Lila in book 5 in case you were wondering, close second is Daddy Zeus & Lou in book 2
Wow, surprised that this book is so recommended. If you need an entitled "edgy" white cis man telling you how to not care about shit, this may be for you. I found a lot of his "enlightening" discoveries to be pretty big no-brainers. He swears a lot to be relatable, his jokes fall flat and are dull, and after getting through a few of his useless side stories on pandas and whatever else he thought us mere anxious mortals could understand, I gave up on this. Not impressed, would not recommend.
I've been waiting for Axel's love story. Really appreciated the communication these two had, the consent and support, loved the chronic illness representation, along with having a neurodivergent lead. Love the own voices!!
This was surprisingly sweeter than what I was expecting. I flew through this one, and love this little Swedish meddling family. 2 good steamy scenes, could have had more imho, but i'm thirsty.
This one is tied with the 2nd book in the series as my favorite.
