I really enjoyed Caught Up! The story was engaging, the romance felt real, and the characters had great chemistry. The only downside for me was the audiobook narration—it didn’t always hit the right tone. Still, a solid and heartfelt read I’d recommend to romance fans.

The first book needed to end at the first book. I am not sure if the TikTok demand was high for this book, but I don’t feel like the author wrote a well thought out plot.

This book was so freaking amazing. I absolutely absolutely ate it up and the audiobook is so good! Honestly, this book is just so horny and really fantastic. I love Nico and I love Lo. I love all the exploration And self discovery and Taylor’s is a riot. So hilarious!

This one wasn't as funny to me as the first book. I did end up liking Nico much more than I thought I would. His yearning is intense.
