This was such a a fun book. So many people that I enjoyed made an appearance and the found family was amazing. I will say that if you have not read previous books then you may feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount the side characters are relevant in this book. 

I really enjoyed Jax and Feb from the beginning. I enjoyed watching their relationship progress the way that it did. It was the right speed for them and it was low on drama which was also nice. 

This is a super quick read that will leave you wanting more from this world and characters. 

this was such a sweet second chance romance.

Malachai has not had it easy in life and has never felt like he belonged anywhere. Sam is trying to get over the loss of his best friend and husband after a tragic accident took him away from him. 

watching these two try to navigate their feelings was sweet.

I have been waiting for more on Rock since he was first introduced. I absolutely love Rock, there is so much to that man, he's so misunderstood and has so many different layers to him. I swear these men just get better and better.

When Aspyn finds herself in some trouble, her dad enlists the help of the NOLA Rebels and Rock is stuck on babysitting duty.  

These two couldn't be more different from each other but they fit together so well. Aspyn is a daddy's girl and has never had to worry about money. Rock has no family but Jett and has been in and out of jail for a lot of his life. While they may be extremely different when it comes to family and money they are both so loyal, love so hard and will fight for the ones they love. 

There was so much chemistry and passion between these two you could sense it almost immediately. They both helped each other see who they truly are. Aspyn was able to finally work on her confidence and not rely on others choices but her own, while Rock finally realized that he is worthy of love and compassion. 

Did I lay around and read all day to finish this book? yes... was I sad when this book ended? also yes... there are twist and turns and moments that will leave you with your mouth on the floor but it it soooo worth it!

This was a great concept of the book and at times hit heavy subjects but I felt absolutely no connection to the characters so I couldn't really enjoy it and from about 20% I found myself skimming it just to finish it. 

Such an emotional read. They really had to work for their HEA. 

This honestly just fell flat for me. There wasn't enough and it was so fast paced that it just felt rushed and unfinished. 

This book just lacked for for me. There was just too much that I didn't enjoy that I couldn't really get into it. 

It was written in 3rd person, which fine I can deal with it sometimes but I did not enjoy it in this book. The mystery lacked the mystery for me. I know who it was early on so I kind of lost interest in it after that. I hated that we only got one POV and that POV irritated me more times that it didn't. Things moved way too fast and then not fast enough. I just was soooo bored with this. 

this was such an emotional book.

Sammy and Will were childhood best friends up until Will moved away. Will finds himself back in town a few years later and things spark between the two. Sammy doesn't have the best home life and ends up breaking Will's heart because he feels as if he's unworthy of love and doesn't want to drag Will down with him. Flash forward 10 years later and the two are back in the same time and sparks fly yet again. 

I loved the first half of the book, the world building, the angst, the pain.
The second half just lacked for me a bit. I was hoping for some big thing to happen, groveling, more talking.. just more something that I didn't get.

Jen and Abel have known each other pretty much their whole lives. They have also secretly crushed on each other for the same amount of time. Jen has always wanted a family...husband, kids and a minivan to really seal the whole family thing. Abel is the complete opposite, he is known as the playboy, the one to go through women, married or not and never wants to settle down due to his childhood

Jen's father Joe, who is also a father figure to Abel after taking him in when he was a teenager, tells his kids that he is sick and wants to see them make their dreams come true before it's too late and he can't see it happen, Abel comes up with a plan to fake date/marry Jen to make Joe happy. Can Jen convince Abel he’s always been the one for her? Or is she just headed for heartbreak by wishing they had forever? Can Abel prove that he can be a one woman man forever?

I think Abel and Jen have stolen the top place for my favorite couple of Harbour Village. The pining, the emotions, the passion and chemistry these two had was incredible. This book has a little bit of everything that it will have you so invested all the way to the end.

Ahhh I swear each couple just gets better and better. I devoured these this book and love this two so much!!

Ares is straight up book boyfriend goals, he is so sweet, patient, loyal, gives his all, gives his girl whatever she wants and is so so attentive 😏🥵 I think he is my favorite MMC that Bella has written so far, not sure how she can top this fine specimen of a man.

Grace has danced her whole life but has come to a point where it's not enjoyable anymore. She's known as the "good twin" and has lived up to that so much that she keeps a lot of things to her self and never really expresses what and how she truly feels.

The way that Ares was there from the beginning for Grace and helped build up her confidence and let her know that she would still be loved even if she wasn't the "good twin" was so sweet and swoonworthy.  These two were absolute perfection.

Owen finds himself back in his hometown of Lovewell to help out his family's timber business after his father ran it into the ground. 

Lila finds herself back in town as a stepping stone until she can make her dreams come true and move to New York with her besties. 

Lila already works two jobs but takes on an additonal one to help Owen get on top of Hebert Timber finances. Both secretly crush on each over over the period they are working together and once they finally cave, it explosive 🥵

The little things this man did, had me melting 😍. Getting Lila a ton of gluten free snacks, making a huge donatiom to the food pantry so they can provide for more people/homes and bought a pizza maker and ALLLLLL things to make gluten free pizza and tested the best recipe just because in passing she said she missed pizza 😭 Owen is the definition of "if he wanted to he would" 

Watching these two go from co-workers to friends to lovers was so sweet and perfect! loved them so much
