The last 20% of the book just fucked me up so bad...
I felt so much heartache in those last few pages.
My heart aches for Mara, Ambrose and Cat. These three were actually soulmates amd deserved the world!π©π©
I actually have no words.
It was just a very beautiful story! That's all I have to say.π€

If Tristan asked me to get down on my knees and bark for him, I would.π
The chokehold that Tristan and Dante have on me is different. And I haven't even read Dante's book yet.
This one was easier to read than the first one because I did get a little more used to the third person POV. I did switch between the audiobook and my e-book for this one too.
The fact that Morana felt the most safe in the arms of the most dangerous man...π₯΅π©π₯
Because he would literally burn down the entire world just for her!!!
Tristan will forever have my heart!!β€οΈ

The way that I have become more of a motorbike girl than I already was, ONLY because of Tristan Caine...
I was so invested from the very beginning. As soon as I finished reading this I started 'The Reaper' because I just had to see what happens next.
It was a little difficult for me to read these books, because they're in third person POV and I hate 3rd person POVs. I had to switch between the audiobook and the kindle version.
It was a really good book though!!
Tristan Caine issssss myyyy mannnnn!!!!!!π₯΅π©

I wanted sooooo much more from this book. It was a very cute and fun read but it did get annoying and frustrating sometimes.
Bree and Nathan were very cute together and they both were very much in love. But it got annoying how MUCH time it took for both of them to see that the other person was also feeling something.
Anyways, I have read better friends to lover books and maybe that's why I didn't get the hype?
Don't get me wrong, it was still a pretty solid book. I just don't think it got through to me in the way I would've wanted it to.

This was sooooo different from what I usually read. I actually don't know what to rate or say about this book.
I did love parts of it. The spice was on another level altogether ππ₯
Fun read.

I really had very very very high expectations going in... I love Kandi Steiner. She never disappoints with her writing.
I think my main issue would be with the FMC. She was sooooo annoying half the time. Vince did call her out on her actions but up until the very end, she remained the same.
Chapter 28 y'all was just π₯΅π₯΅π₯π₯... No one writes hot & bubbling spicy scenes like Kandi does!
Kandi's writing is still as beautiful. And she will always be one of my favourite authors. Only, this one didn't do it for me as much as I expected it to... (Majorly because of Maven)
I'm so excited for Watch Your Mouth and also Daddy P's book!

After reading Before We Were Strangers, I did not think that I would end up liking it as much as I loved that one. I was soooo wrong. I loved this book so much. I loved everything. Childhood friends to lovers, second chance romance will always hit different for me. I will always eat it up. This one was no different. The way I ugly cried at it, it's not even a joke. I just loved it so much!

Loved this one! It was too short for me to rate it anything or write a review. I am just here for the whole ride. I am loving this series and getting to know the characters.

Loved it. I have started to realise that Kennedy Ryan doesn't miss with her books. She's an amazing writer and storyteller. Her books will always get you in the feels. This one was soo good. I did not expect to like it as much as I did.

I was so excited for Kai's book, especially after I read the synopsis of King of Pride. I actually thought it was going to be a favourite. But it just disappointed me so much. I expected so much more out of it.
For a romance book, it was good. But not for what I expected out an Ana Huang book. I am just not loving this series as much as I loved the Twisted Series. I was so invested in the Twisted Series and I still love that one to bits. But this one is just not doing it for me. I really really really hope that King of Greed does it for me. I am excited about that one and I hope it redeems this series and makes me want to read the rest of it.
