This was such an adorable single dad x nanny romance that will hit you right in the feels. It has healing, growth, a toddler who is planning world domination already at the age of 4 and finding love after heartbreak.

I think I fell in love with both of these characters in the first few chapters. Both Bowen and Lane are trying to heal from past heartbreak and trauma. Lane has to come to the realization that his marriage is finally coming to an end, which was years in the making. Bowen is healing from stunt work that went horribly wrong. 

Lane hires Bowen as a nanny while he tried to get a handle on his life that is an absolute mess. They had such a strong bond through their friendship but you could see that Bowen always felt just a little more strongly for Lane. 

As their friendship progressed into something more I was so happy and cheering that they finally got the HEA they truly deserve.

Chad and Matt were childhood best friends that had an encounter when they were camping that caused them to drift apart. 10 years later, Chad is getting a divorce, comes across Matt's picture on social media and ends up reaching out to Matt about going camping again. 

Both of these guys say they are straight but both struggle massively, especially Matt with coming to terms about liking men. I mean Matt ran away, got married had a kid and tried to pretend to be the ultimate straight man. 

This was just an ok book for me, it was super super repetitive, words that gave me the instant ick and felt like it lacked it growth.

I have waited soooo long for the ever elusive Riggs and more on him but uuugggghhh his book just left some things to be desired. I was a good book buuuut Its more of a me thing, MISCOMMUNICATION was soooo heavily focused in this book and its one of my biggest ick's that it was hard for me to really really get into the book. 

Riggs and Duffy finds themselves both in a predicament. Riggs has been caught doing something he shouldn't be and Duffy needs to marry to stay in the US. Duffy is determined to have a different life than her poverty like childhood and wants to marry into money so when she see's the opportunity rise up, she ends up blackmailing Riggs.

As with any marriage of convenience they begin to find out that fake isn't always fake and fake begins to turn real with their feelings overtime. 

While I enjoyed the plot for the most part, there were several just over the top, never could that really happen moments that, along with the whole miscommunication really had me left wanting more out this book and these characters.

This was such a sweet heartwarming tale of healing and jumping feet first into the unknown and hoping you come out on top.

Stone and Harlow meet at the Dizzy Duck Inn in Lake Spark while both are attending a writers retreat. They have an instant connection but Harlow had something traumatic happen in the past that prevents her from moving forward. 

Stone was soooo patient with Harlow while she worked through her trauma and never pushed her farther than she was ok with.

I loved watching these two with their banter, intense chemistry and passion, progress to sooo much more. These two must drew you into their story and I was sad when it was over.

My heart broke for these beautiful broken souls. Both Whaley and Bunky had immense trauma from their childhood that still haunted them in their adult lives. There is sooo much pain and demons within these two that caused them to be the unhinged psychopaths they are today. 

There is a major push/pull between these two at first. Whaley feels that he shouldn't pursue Bunky for so many reasons but once they both give in it is explosive 🔥 There is so much violence, pain and passion between these two that it was so intense at times but oh so good 🥵


“𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯’ 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦, 𝘉𝘶𝘯𝘬. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘺?” 
“𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘧**𝘪𝘯’ 𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”


Whaleys little psycho Bunky, would stop at nothing to get what he wanted once he became obsessed. Bunky, while chaotic 99.9% of the time, he loves deep and loves fully, while never giving up on Whaley and never lets the demons get to him. They were there for each other, when they needed it the most and in a way, healed parts of their souls together.

This one is definitely much much darker than the first but for these two tortured souls it was extremely fitting. This was everything that I wanted between these two and more!! I can't wait for Raid and Landon next

This was such a cute read and the perfect ending to the Orchid City Series. 

I love coach's daughter trope and this just hit in all the feels. Mac and Juliette have somewhat of an instant attraction, Mac acknowledging in quicker than Juliette. 

These two fought their feelings for so long and when they finally gave in and caved, I mean that kitchen scene was just 🥵🥵

Mac is such a cinnamon roll and Juliette knows what she wants in life and has black cat vibes at times. Their banter and bickering had me cracking up at times and Thor absolutely stole the show everytime he made an apperance!!

Jacoby and Roman are both actors that have animosity towards each other. They end up being casted together to store in an upcoming movie so they have to get over any feelings and act to really sell being lovers on the screen. 

The tension  between these two was so strong in the beginning, but uuuggghhhhh it was all from miscommunication. Miscommunication is one of my biggest ick's when it comes to books because it's not really discussed and then the same miscommunication happens again throughout the book. I feel the way that it was done in this book, it was handled really well. They both said things years ago but when they finally got together they talked about what was said in the past and moving forward they had amazing and open communication and I loved that!

I loved watching their feelings for each other progress the way that they did. There was no rush on coming out and it all felt so natural. Their chemistry was insane, they were vulnerable with each other and they really complimented each other and made the other one a better person.

These two were both so sweet, understanding, passionate, dependable and their banter was hilarious!

Another dark, depraved, heartbreaking rollercoaster of a book!!

This series gets better and better. The things that Kane went through as a child was heartbreaking and it molded him into what and who he is. He created Jax and Tobin as a protection for him. 

Aurora has been through some things as well. Not really knowing where to go in life she meets Kane while on a journey home after dropping out of college. 

Each of these guys gave Aurora what she needed in different ways. The way that Kane finally broke through a little bit and remembered and began changing for Aurora was an amazing thing.

I'm telling you I don't know what Jagger puts in his books, but I devour each one and am left wanting more and more!!! If you think you know these characters, much like I did, prepare to be shook to the core. I mean I knew that Jagger wrote his men, all dark, delicious and red flag galore but Gabriel was NOTHING like I thought he would be!

It was kind of scary of how well Gabriel was able to hide his darkness from the world. In order to achieve his political dreams, he learns that he needs a wife. In comes Fumi, who needs the money to pay for her father's debts and of course things never ever go to plan when a "deal" is made.

I loved watching these two go from enemies to lovers and everything in between. Gabriel went from wanting nothing to do with Fumi or a fake wife to  touch her, hurt her, even look at her and  💀 vibes realllll quick. These two are insane together and their connection even hotter 🥵 I loved their dynamic together and how Fumi was the light to Gabriel's dark world. 

The twists and turns, lies, betrayal and suspense will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end and then upset because you finished it so quickly. This series gets better and better and I can't wait to see what the next book brings. 

 Also here's to hoping the new character that was introduced at the end brings a whole new series 😏

I was expecting a super sweet second chance romance between childhood best friends but man was this such an emotional read with such angst, grief, trauma and so much more. My heart hurt for all three of these brothers while reading. 

Morgan finds himself back in his hometown of Birchbark after almost a decade of being gone. Now that he is back he has to deal with the toxicity of his family while also coming face to face with his ex-best friend that he has secretly been in love with since they were kids. The things Morgan felt he truly didn't deserve, really broke my heart. I loved how Dusty constantly reassured him not only with his words, but with his touch and actions as well. I mean Dusty was willing to give up his entire life and follow Morgan anywhere he went just to prove his love 😭

Not only was Morgan trying to mend his relationship with Dusty but also with his brothers. There was a lot of growth between Morgan and Dusty and I loved watching them get back to such an amazing place in their relationship. And their chemistry, the way these men worshipped each other  😮‍💨🥵

While things aren't perfect between Morgan and his brothers, its a work in progress and I hope to see more of the healing in future books in the series for all the brothers.
