This was an amazing story of people who may have been a little different but love saw them as the perfect fit! 

You don't want to miss out on this amazing story of a father and daughter who find a way to bridge the gap and a man and a woman who learn to love without words.

Kay Cove is an amazing author, and I loved Finn and Avery's story! 

This story hit home in so many ways. It was heartwarming, heart-wrenching, and so many other emotions all wrapped up into this amazing story of bravery, self-discovery, and love. I can't wait to read Lennox's story next. She was fun and adorable, and I can't wait to see who tries to tame her.

This is my first book by this author, and I loved every minute of it! I can't wait to read the second book in this duet. The suspense, twisted and turns, and steamy scenes had me hooked until the very end.

I really enjoyed Bailey and Aires story. It was sweet and their heat burnt the pages up. Good girl meets bad boy is always a recipe for hot and steamy.

This is my first book by this author, and I'm very excited to continue Raeve's story. 

There is a lot of world building throughout this book, which isn't a bad thing but the first 25% I felt was drawn out and confusing. After that, the story started to pick up and make more sense. 

Raeve is a fiery force to be reckoned with when it comes to the ones she loves. There are many secrets locked away, and they are all connected in many ways. I don't want to give anything away, but if you love fantasy, dragons, and amazing world building, then you don't want to miss out on this book.

I really enjoyed Dagger and Hunter's story. Charlene always does a great job with her dragon stories. I'm looking forward to seeing where being a Serene will lead for Hunter.

The pages in this book were burning up with the amount of heat from Zayden, Dominic, and Blake. I loved their story and can't wait to see more books like this from Katelyn. 
The emotions, the love, the lust, the pain that these three had for each other kept me intrigued and the secrets and mystery kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end. This story is dark and twisted, so check the TW's before diving into this read.

This is my first book by this author, and it was OK. I think I went in expecting more because I went in blind. 
Kallum and Elena's story was just ok for me. There wasn't much that happened, and the ending was odd the way it went from how it ended to years later. I might check out the other books, but we shall see.

I really enjoyed Charlotte and Rhys' story. When I started reading this, I wasn't expecting the type of story it turned out to be, but it drew me in, and I couldn't put it down until the end. I went in blind. 

Rhys is a hot and possessive antihero that comes knocking on Charlotte's door when she creates her perfect match on an app, and man, is he perfect in every way! He shows Charlotte what a real man can do for her in more ways than one. 

This is a quick, steamy, and perfect story if you love antihero men who can make dreams come true. I would love to see Cupid work his magic in more books.
