First book by Emily Henry but definitely won't be the last. The humor grabbed me from the first chapter, mixed with a relatable FMC and fun side characters, and topped with a bit of emotion: I was hooked. Can't wait for my next Emily Henry read!

Funny, light read! Loved the Scottish setting and the cast of characters. While it's a bit predictable I still enjoyed it a lot! Great beach read!

This one was slow for me. Devoured Butcher and Blackbird but Leather and Lark just seemed so slow. I felt in comparison there were just more action events in the first book, which I liked. This one was heavily more emotional. Which didn't work as well for me. The same humor from the author as book one is what continues to be seen in the books and was great to see again.

Devoured this book! Meghan Quinn's writing features lots of humor, family love, great friendships and cute love stories. This was a great series and probably my favorite book of the series. Loved it and didn't want it to end.

Super cute and funny read! Possibly one of my favorite MMCs to read about. Love the sibling relationships and banter! Perfect for a cozy, summer read.

Hilarious. Hilariously grotesque. I loved it! A gore filled rom com.

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.

Feels like I've read this sort of book before. Just found boring and not interesting.

Super cute and quick read despite the long length. Loved the humor of the characters. This was my first Meghan Quinn read but definitely won't be the last.
