π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: he falls first, boy obsessed, why choose, small town, single dad, heroine in danger, grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity

Finally we find out how Silas, Bane, Nova and Evie's story ends, and also who is behind off all the things that happens.
This book keeps you in suspense until the end. I'm very sad that it's over, but I would have liked to see more scenes between them after everything that happened.
I loved this series and I recommend it to those who like why choose romance combined with small town, single dad, forced proximity and grumpy x sunshine.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: age gap, single dad, billionaire, alpha hero, possessive hero, one night stand
This book grabs your attention from the first page!
Harrison is a billionaire single dad who all he wants is to keep his little girl safe and away from his world. Juliette is a former ballerina who now helps her mother in the pastry shop they own.
She and Harrison meet three times, but in none of them do they manage to have a one night stand. To Harrison's surprise, Juliette is exactly the person who taught his daughter to bake. Harrison tries to stay away from her because of his promise to his brother, but he doesn't succeed, because when the tension between them becomes overwhelming, only then do they give in to everything they feel.
They have a very strong connection and this is visible from the moment they meet until the end. The chemistry between them only grew as they spent more time together, which made their relationship stronger. And spicy scenes are very hot...you're not ready!
I loved this book, and as being the first I read by this author, it certainly won't be the last.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: alpha hero, billionaire, boy obsessed, fake dating, mistaken identity, one night stand, second chance, single mom, small town
I loved this book and how beautiful the storyline was.
Luke is a TV actor who arrives on vacation in the Hunter Valley where he meets Aspen at a bar with whom he immediately hits it off, which only later leads to a one night stand.
Aspen is a single mother and a yoga instructor who now have to search for the engagement ring her ex gave her or its value, both things impossible to obtain. Except, Luke jumps in with a proposal: Aspen pretends to be his girlfriend to shut down the rumors he's in because of a woman, whom he worked with, and get a new role, and he'll give her the value of the ring to get rid of her ex forever.
And from this moment everything starts between them and only develop into a beautiful relationship. The storyline itself is so interesting that makes you barely put down the book.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: touch her & you d*e, friends to lovers to enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, second chance
π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: violence, arson, manipulation
OMG, THE WAY THIS BOOK KEPT ME IN SUSPENSE FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END!!
I love how Natasha Knight writes the books. The way she writes, sets the action and its pace, but also plot twists, I just can't get enough of her books.
Our characters, Ophelia and Silas, have known each other since childhood. Silas has been saving Ophelia ever since and still does. What we still don't know at the beginning is that something happened between them over the years, but I won't go into that.
All you need to know is that they are somewhat "puppets" in the world of Sly and Ethan (father and half-brother of Silas, but father-in-law and fiancΓ© of Ophelia). There are many secrets and betrayals in the middle that they are only now beginning to discover and I can't wait to see how they will react to these and face those who have made their lives hell.

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS HOW THE BOOK ENDS!!
Kat, I understand perfectly that there are going to be 5 books in the series, but I need more Kaya & Davorin. I need to know that they made it. Or just give us a glimpse into their future, I just need to know.
Going back to the review itself, you are not prepared for this book! It's wild from the beginning to the end.
Ekaterina and Davorin are still as strong and make a very hot couple. They are so crazy, I just adore them.
A lot happens in this book and it keeps you in suspense, and you keep wondering when it will all be resolved.
And what hurts the most is that only at the end do you understand why the author chose this title. BRB, I'm gonna go cry a little more.
Thank you Kat King for writing this amazing masterpiece!

You don't understand how much I loved this book. If I could, I would read this book endlessly, it is that good.
If you thought My Dark Romeo was wow, wait and see this one. A true masterpiece!
Farrow wants to get back the pendant that her stepmother sold and now is in Zach's possession. She is discovered by him in the process, and although she manages to escape, Zach finds her and decides that he wants her for himself.
During all the time that Farrow is in his house, she discovers how wounded Zach is and helps him get over everything, but also to finally feel. Zach is very obsessed with her and finds her very fascinating.
The process is very long until they are ready to admit their true feelings, but so worthy. Zach and Farrow are such a wonderful match. I just loved them!
For the moment, I'm a little sad that I have to leave their world, but I can't wait to see them again in Oliver's book.

Who can bring me something cold? This book is so hot and spicy, and I don't really think I can last much longer without something to cool me down.
If you are looking for a short, very spicy book with BDSM elements where our characters Easton, Vincent and Noemi discover a relationship, then you have to read this one. The plot is minimal, but I barely noticed it. All my attention was focused on how Easton and Vincent conquer Noemi, and how she didn't hesitate at all to say what and how she wanted.
I really like the book, and I can't wait to see what Mandy is preparing next.

π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: s*xual harassment & assault, physical violence, attempted r*pe, s*xual abuse of a minor, overdose, ab*rtion, car accident
Sam, even though she's been through a lot, she's still holding on to pull down everything that's dearest to her father Her refuge is Chris, who always waited for her with open arms. It takes some time for Sam to finally accept Chris, but when she does, every moment between them is so adorable, even when Sam is a little mean to him.
I really liked the dynamic between them, and how Chris was always there for her. He knew how to give her space when she needed it and that he didn't hesitate to show her that she can be loved.
I really recommend this book if you are looking for a book where the FMC is a badass and doesn't stop until she gets what she wants, and a cinnamon roll hero who is ready to love her no matter what.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: friends to lovers, fake dating, revenge, hockey romance, he falls first, found family, one bed
π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: emotional abuse, infidelity
I liked this book so much and I think I have reached the point where I would read any book written by this author, because all I have read so far were only amazing 5 star books.
Brooks and Sara are co-workers in a way. Brooks is the goalie for the hockey team, while Sara is the public relations for the team. They are good friends and spend a lot of time together, but hidden deep down there are feelings for each other.
The situation would probably have remained the same for a very long time, but it turns out that Sara's boyfriend, who is Brooks' uncle, is actually married. Brooks is totally disappointed with his uncle and jumps to Sara's aid by pretending to be her boyfriend, to hide this from the other people around them.
This change makes them approach in a way that they have not done before. I really liked the scenes between them, and the author made such a beautiful transition from friends to lovers. It took them some time to admit their feelings, but it was so worthy.
And the cameos with the other characters from the Momcoms series made me want to reread those books so much. Only now I realized how much I missed those characters. If you haven't read this series, you absolutely need to.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: pregnancy, millionaire, obsessed & protective hero,
π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: infidelity, stalking
WOW! This book is so so good!! You really need to give this a try!!
Drew and Sophie meet a few years ago on a double date, and since then Drew has been pining for her. Four years later, Sophie finds out that her ex is married and thus kicks him out. But everything doesn't stop there, because at some point two pink lines appear, and her life changes, especially when she realizes that she doesn't know which of the men (her ex or Drew) is her father.
Drew is totally excited to become a father, and he doesn't care if it's his or not. All he wants is to be with Sophie, to support her and offer her his love. Of course, her ex keeps putting obstacles in their happiness, but they always manage to stay together.
Of all the characters, Drew was definitely my favorite. He was so attentive to her, and did not hesitate at all to offer her his love. He was totally melted over her!
Nothing could have prepared me for the plot twists in the book and how good the author delivered them.
This was the first time I read a book written by this author and I will definitely read more books written by her.
