Poly, angsty, heartwarming. Vivancos knows what the people want and it's this MMM omegaverse novella 🙂↕️💕
Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
4.5
This is undoubtedly a Top 3 Ali Hazelwood book for me.
It's not the 1st and I don't think it's the 2nd.
More thoughts forthcoming after I ruminate.

A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera
5.0
Aurora and Apollo are electric in this series finale. Aurora- taking on the world in order to protect her patients at the clinic she supports. Apollo- hell bent on proving to the aristocracy that he is a force to be reckoned with. These two strong personalities clash in the most delicious way as they embark on a mutually beneficial tryst.
But their time is running out. Aurora, who has forsaken the traditional role of a society woman, is focused solely on her freedom and her clinic despite this infuriating man she cannot get enough of. Meanwhile, Apollo is on the hunt for the perfect Duchess to support his Dukely endeavors but unfortunately, none of the eligible ladies hold a candle to the spitfire that is Aurora Montalban.
I think this is a perfect ending to the Las Leonas series and I think Aurora & Apollo are my favorites? But I said that about all of the couples so who's to say, really? I laughed, I cried, I swooned. I fell in love with these women and their stories.

Winging It by Ashlyn Kane, Morgan James
3.0
I enjoyed most of this I think?
I do think it was a bit bloated and there were many times we lost track of the romance in favor of getting a little too in depth with their teammates storylines. (I really don't think we needed three different character's side quests.) And honestly, by the 80% mark, I was skimming heavily to get to the end.
Will I continue the series? Maybe. TBD. I have a feeling there are better series out there, I just haven't found them yet.

So much FUN! This is a great little bite sized novella series and perfect if you're looking for humor, a little romance, twisty space heists, and unapologetically dunking on Elon-shaped villains.
Ada is truly such a funny FMC and poor Rian. He's just struggling to keep up but he's trying.
Totally recommend these as audiobooks for a quick listen. The narrator does a wonderful job keeping it light but also sincere.
I'm ready for the final book.

Okay THIS was fun! Fast paced, great writing, a nice touch of humor and romance, and it truly kept me guessing. Definitely picking up the next one and I'm glad to see the third comes out this Spring.
(I think this was the vibe I was anticipating when I picked up Calamity but didn't get.)
