Loved this smutty hot RH hockey romance. This mmfm romance was so well done and I can’t wait to read book two! It was just what I needed to get out of my audiobook slump

It was so cool that this was a WISCONSIN story through and through. But I kind of felt like it was just a dump of WISCO trivia. Almost over done. I’m also not usually a literal fiction fan, so this took me a bit to get into. 3 stars cuz I’m happy I read it, but the ending felt abrupt and still don’t know what truly happened.

It was ok. I listened to it on audio and may have enjoyed this one better physically reading it instead. But I’m a big Coates fan and can wait to physically read another soon

I loved this book 2. I’m sure if there will be more or if it was a duet but it had all the things. Fantasy, historical, mythology, dystopian, romance, enemies to lovers. So much involved while having so many intricate things to make this story captivating. The love story was so wholesome and enchanting. Adored this so much

FINALLY! A Frieda book I couldn’t figure out and the twist was actually shocking. Really good. Not a 5 star because I have read another book with similar plot that blew my mind and I kept comparing in my mind. But regardless the twist was good and thoroughly enjoyed it

This is probably my favorite by her. Loved all the different facets of the characters. You could see the immaturity of the girl. The twists were good

I really really enjoyed this book. If you like romance, fantasy, dystopian, mythology, historical, enemy’s to lovers, books. With a strong willed FMC and a sweet story of finding your strength, this is it. I loved the way Rebecca writes l. It feels so cozy. It helped me get into a fantasy which I usually struggle with. Can’t wait to read onto Ruthless Vows🥰
