I liked it, I didn’t love it and I wouldn’t read it again. But it would make a good series/movie.

This was not a favorite of mine at all. I wanted to love it but the theater/drama references really made me lose interest. I couldn’t connect with the characters that ended up making it cringe. I had high hopes for this one. It’s also about 200 pages too long.

Wow. I don’t know why it took me so long to start this series. It’s so good. Nick & Charlie are so sweet and have so much chemistry. I can’t wait to see where this goes!!

This is the third book of Chelsea’s that I’ve read and hands down my favorite. Emmy & Mav were effing magic. I loved the inclusivity of women in the NHL {especially during playoffs RN 🏒}, I loved the flow of side characters… they added so much extra personality & depth to the story, AND  the hockey references were on point. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!! 10/10 recommend if you love hockey, Elle Kennedy, Liz Tomforde, or even just a wholesome sports romance. 

NO third act break up
LOTs of spicy moments 

The Examiner by Janice Hallett

I’m forever a Janice fan. Her writing style is so unique and it sucks me in every time. If you love thrillers that only give you tidbits of information at a time that keep you going till the very end. Anything from Janice is the way to go. When I tell you the Examiner threw me for a loop the entire time, I’m not joking!!

I’m officially a Jessica Joyce fan. Wow I loved the writing style and the adventure. At times I found Noelle a little immature but I loved her growth on the trip & her grief journey. My gram & I have a very special bond so I can only imagine the pain of not hearing her voice again! Can’t believe I waited so long to read, very excited for The Ex Vows

I felt like it dragged on more times than I can count, it’s like reading an episode of law & order…. Criminal minds… any sort of criminal procedural show.

3.75 rounded up to 4. What a fun & cozy read. I loved the friendship development between Callum & Lark. The banter was so quick and genuinely funny. Is it life changing no? Is it reading escapism to the fullest? Absolutely. Looking forward to the other 2 books.

Theres something about a classic enemies to lovers, this was perfect. Elle never disappoints. Filled with witty banter, lots of steam and heart warming moments… I’m loving this series so much.
