Yโall, sheโs done it again! Am I surprised that I ate this up? Heck no! I love me a cowboy, but what I love even more? A hot cowboy with a filthy mouth and a mustache. And Beau? He checks off all three! Beau and Sageโs chemistry was off the charts from the very moment these two ran into each other. The tension and the spice? SO. GOOD. In between those moments though, we also get the sweet ones. Like when Beau takes care of Sage after accidentally hurting herself and makes her dinner. The caretaking just had me melting. All around, this book has made me fall even more in love with Crimson Ridge and I canโt get enough!

After Itโs Always Been You, I already knew I was going to be an emotional mess going into this. I can now confirm, yes I was a wreck and lost track of how many times I cried. Jordan was so lost and broken after Allie, but seeing him heal through his relationship with Jo was so special. Sam did an amazing job giving us a true friends to lovers relationship. My heart broke so many times throughout the book, but their friendship and love put it back together. I literally canโt think of any more words to express how much I loved this book and I look forward to the rest of the Boston Hearts series โค๏ธ

Wanna know whatโs better than a single parent romance? When you get TWO single parents. Thatโs right yโall two! Not only do we get hot Daddy Sawyer, but we also get the incredibly strong and amazing Ava. What was just a hot, steamy night in Austin turns into so much more when Ava and Sawyer run into each other again in Hartsville. The town that Ava and her adorable daughter Junie just moved to. Needless to say, their chemistry is still just as strong as it was on the night they shared together when theyโre reunited.

I absolutely loved this book and think it just might be my new favorite in the series! Sawyer is one down bad cowboy with a filthy mouth and a filthy cowboy is my kryptonite. Ava and Sawyer together? These two were pure perfection! With being single parents, they have so much to deal with that not only do we see these two fall in love, but also find a sense of joy and freedom they lost along the way. It was so well done and how they communicated with each other on their feelings. Then we also have their adorable daughters, Ella and Junie. These two were the absolute cutest and how they became the bestest of friends just made me so happy.
Iโm pretty sure Iโve said this before, but I canโt get enough of these Rivers men! Dukeโs book is next and yโall, I. Cannot. Wait.
Thank you so much to Valentine PR and Jessica Peterson for the arc ๐

God did I love this book. The audio was phenomenal and I DEVOURED it. I couldnโt get enough and when I wasnโt listening to it, I was thinking about listening to it. This book just might be my new favorite by Ali. Actually, scratch that, IT IS my new favorite by her.
Also can we talk about Lukas? Lukas. F**king. Blomqvist. Aka my newest book boyfriend. This man right here? ๐ฎโ๐จ Everything that just came out of his mouth had me falling in love with him. And then how he was with Scarlett just reinforced that love. Their chemistry was off the charts and the banter was perfection. Oh and the spice was H O T (and the audio probably turned it up notch because damn).
Ugh, I just canโt get over how much I loved this one.

Holy crap was this another emotional roller coaster and I loved every second of it. The plot twist?! Samantha, I needed way more tissues than I anticipated and need my heart to be fully healed asap!! I am still in my feels and I donโt have the words to express how much love I have for this book and series. This series has become a favorite of mine and I am so sad it has come to an end, but gosh was Molly and Gabeโs story beautiful.
Gabe is our nerdy, billionaire MMC with a mouth like no other. Molly is a badass lawyer who is wild, free, and chaotic. Itโs always been Molly for Gabe and he is not afraid to express this or show it to the whole world. He loves Molly for exactly who she is and doesnโt want her to be anything but herself. Seeing the love they have for one another, even after the years they were separated, was truly something special.

This book was everything I needed and more for a perfect romcom. It made me laugh and lose count of the times I smiled. It was filled with the best banter and also made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It made me just feel everything and I loved every second of it. I loved Margot and Forrest. Their meet cute? TOO FREAKING PERFECT. The slow burn between these two was so dang good but then when they finally stop holding back? ๐ฎโ๐จ Another thing I loved? Forrestโs use of sweatheart for Margot. Like, I liked that term of endearment before but damn did Forrest have me turning to putty every time he used it.
It also had me wishing chopping wood was an Olympic sport because I too would watch the ever living shit out of it. Alas it isnโt, but it did have me going down a rabbit hole of men in flannel and watching lumberjack videos ๐
Thank you so much to Atria and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book ๐

I loved the first two books and could not wait for this epic conclusion, but I feel like it fell a little short for me. Maybe I just went into this with high of expectations because of how much I loved the first two? There was a bit too much repetition for me and the pacing threw me off. For the first half, it was slow but then the second half it really sped up. Everything just fell into place so quickly that I wish I had a little more time with the characters before it was over. However, I still really did enjoy this trilogy and love Daddy Dacre!
