This book kept breaking my heart over and over again. There were multiple times where I cried my eyes out… so it took me some time to read this book… but I am so glad I did read it! Such a beautiful story!
Anna went through many challenges in her years and one of them was giving birth to her second child, Ella. Her firstborn, Louie, was always perfect, no matter what he did and Ella was mostly invisible.. well, not to her dad Grayson of course.
As the years went by there were many other obstacles in Anna’s life and believe me, they were so heartbreaking… I couldn’t believe how many plot twists and unfortunate events appeared in this book.
I am so glad that Ella’s part of the book had redemption in it and also it uncovered the secrets from the past and people were able to act on it.
Ella’s part of the book was definitely my favourite.
I am looking forward to Cassie’s next book!

Thank you to HaylingBookStorm and Evie Sterling for gifting me this book!
The way I couldn’t put this book down is unbelievable. Once I started reading I didn’t want to adult, but sadly had to.
Micah sounded like a douche bag at the beginning, but as you get to know him he definitely steals your heart!
Clare just got dumped and is moving into a new property by herself and she is also starting her studies.
Micah and Clare’s paths crossed multiple times and thanks to some unfortunate events, we finally got the romance building we needed!
Their relationship was really sweet and you could see from the beginning that they will fall hard.
Let me tell you though - MONICA?!!!! Gosh.. what a B she is… she definitely made their journey difficult and when the author wrote “ONE MONTH LATER” my heart broke…
Luckily, the ending made everything better!

First of all - thank you to NetGalley, TheNerdFam and the author for gifting me this book.
I am still getting over what I’ve just read. It’s written in two timelines and in both of them there are terrible things happening to the FCs.
Shanice is gifted a picture from her grandmother, but it would be better if she didn’t get it at all in her situation! So many greedy people are wanting in and the portrait of Essie has many secrets behind it.
As Shanice tries to unravel what had happened to Essie, someone is also trying to harm her and the people that know about the painting.
I knew since the beginning when Shanice met someone that he was a trouble.. I just got this feeling every time he was mentioned ..
The ending was amazing. The plot twists were really clever and interesting and the whole books sucked you in.
I shouldn’t have read it before bed, because now I am going to be up for ages… but I truly enjoyed it!

First of all - thank you to NetGalley, HC and OneMoreChapter for gifting me this book!
At first it was hard to get into the book, but I was still enjoying the emails Cameron and Amy kept exchanging.
After like 40% of this book I really got into the story and wanted to know more about Amy’s violin background and her past. The emails they exchanged were lovely and sometimes quite funny.
🌸I’m sending all my best anti-vomiting vibes your way.🌸
As the story progressed it was obvious from the way they emailed each other, that both of them started feeling things for each other.
The ending was unexpected and it fitted into the story so well!
I have enjoyed reading this book. It was witty, engaging and the ending was sweet 🩷

So, where do I begin?
Lana made a deal with the Sullivan brothers in exchange for her brother’s life. This meant for her to be their plaything and they also used her in videos, where she killed people of their choosing. And let me tell you.. it was very detailed! 👀
During one of these sessions, Lana had to be punished, so it was up to her to choose her next target.
What she didn’t know was that the target chose themselves.. and that’s where it all turned upside down..
🖤 The moment I saw her face, she became more than the rival’s cash cow. She became mine. Mine.🖤
Christian (the target) made me feel like there is a hope, finally… and then he made me question everything.. 😩
There were some scenes which I expected, but was still staring at the screen thinking “WTF did I just read?” and then I kept reading.
The ending was shocking and even thought I knew something like this was coming I devoured every word!
Oh and it’s spicy! (5 🌶️/5🌶️).
Great plot and great smut 🥵🥵

First of all - Tannon is the most infuriating male alien I’ve had a chance to read about! There were multiple times I wanted to throw my kindle out of frustration.
Lia is a fearless and extremely cheeky (clever) woman. From the moment they’ve met, she cared for her Monster even though she knew nothing about him. I loved how witty and thoughtful she was towards other people. She cried a lot, but what woman doesn’t? 😄
At times I wished she pursued things with Leo, but as the story progressed I was rooting for Tannon and her so badly!
Tannon had his reasons for being the way he was, but it didn’t stop me from being frustrated with him.
This was such a lovely quick read and even though some words were repeated over and over again I did enjoy reading it.
Thank you to Aria and BBUK for letting me read this book as a part of their team!

This was a very funny and enjoyable book.
The romance in this book was slow burn and it was great how they dealt with obstacles that were put in their way.
Max was gentle and charming, even though he seemed like a proper grumpy man at first.
“Can I kiss you, Jessa?”
Jessa was quite chatty and in your face kinda FC, but eventually things worked out between them two and it turned into a sweet romance.
The ending was a shock.. I was not expecting them to get things done THIS fast 😄 but if you know, you know ❤️
There are no spicy scenes in this book, which was a nice change.

🖤"I am always here little tigress, always and forever. I am not going anywhere. I am going to wait for you, even if it means forever. Whenever you are ready, malen'kaya tigritsa, I will be here." Hanna is it for me.🖤
Hanna started working for Stepan and his brother, Lev.
Both of them found each other very attractive from the beginning and their banter was really funny and entertaining.
Hanna is a badass FMC that doesn’t let men or anyone really, to boss her around and if they do, she will give them a taste of their own medicine.
Stepan fell head over heels for her and he was very protective and possessive over her.
🖤“I won't stop until you have my ring on your finger and my collar around your neck."🖤
As their story progresses, there are things from Hanna’s past that she has to overcome and Stepan is there by her side no matter what.
The way they fit together is amazing and their relationship is full of passion, care and love.
Some scenes were quite spicy 4 🌶️ out of 5 🌶️ I would say!
There were many plots twists, but the last one was the most shocking one, because it wasn’t expected.
I can also say that this book made me cry, because of the ending.
Thank you to the author for letting me read this book. Absolutely loved it!

This book was one plot twist after another and I loved it.
The friendship between Toni, Matt and Tony was brilliant and filled with of banter and Darius with Agatha had quite a few laughable moments too!
At first I kept being confused as to what was happening, but then it started being really clear and more enjoyable.
The second 50% of the book I feel like I devoured it, because it was so good!
Also I really liked the fact that there wasn’t HEA with pregnancy involved.
Absolutely recommend this duet to anyone who likes books like this!

First of all - this is was one of the best slow burn romantasy books I’ve read.
You get to know the FMC and the MMC quite well throughout the story. The world building was amazing. At occasions I got sucked in so much it felt like I was a part of it.
The way Kieran slowly (but hard) fell in love with Arken was really sweet and full of emotion. Arken was trying to fight it at first, but wasn’t successful. There was this force, pulling them together…
This love story didn’t take away from the story that was happening in the “background”.. and their intimate moments were not over the top (which is really nice for a change).
The ending broke my heart and with each sentence it just kept shattering it.. I need answers and I need more of this!
I am so grateful for being able to read this before it’s being published! Thank you! And I am looking forward to reading book 2!
