π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: violence, addiction, s*xual assault, bullying, death of a parent
OH MY GOD!! I WOULD READ THIS BOOK OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!
I loved this book and these characters. At first I suspected that it would also have a little slow burn, but I was so wrong. Let me give a little context. Romeo is such a golden and lover boy. He is preparing for a big coming fight when he starts seeing Demi. Demi is sweet, calm and precious little thing. She wants to know Romeo better, but she doesn't know why he has a grudge against her and her family. And at first that the author will put us through some slow burn.
I really liked how both characters handled this situation and it doesn't take them long to form a relationship. They are perfect for each other and have a very beautiful, sincere and protective relationship. I devoured the scenes when they took care of each other, but also the conversations between Romeo and his friends. They were hilarious.
I loved this book and it is officially one of my favorite books written by Laura Pavlov.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: it's always been you, billionaire, found family, accidental romance, one bed, single mom
OH MY GOD!! I LOVED THIS BOOK!!
Liv is a single mother who lives with three best friends and their children. She and Beckett are co-workers, but he needs to fix his reputation after being accused of hating children, and the only way to do that is to be in a relationship with a single mother. He wants Liv, and he does it when one night, they both get drunk and get married in Vegas.
I loved how Beckett fell hard for her and her kids, and even befriends the other kids and Liv's friends. He is a 10+ husband!!
The dynamic in their house was pure chaos, and I liked it. I can't wait to read the next book in the series to see what happens with these dear characters.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: MMFM, why choose, primal, breeding kink, paranormal, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, touch her & die, found family
π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: death, violence
THE BEST BOOK AND PARANORMAL SERIES I'VE READ SO FAR!!!
A lot happens in this book, and every moment leaves you breathless and in suspense.
As much as I would like to tell you about what is happening, I can't without giving at least a small spoiler. But finally we find out what happened in the past, the fact that Katerina's life was a lie !? and how she tries to break the curse to have a happy ending with her boys and live happy and in love together.
This series is very beautiful, and I still can't believe that I could like it so much. And when I think that when I started the first book I was reluctant that I wouldn't like it... well, I'm glad that wasn't the case.

π§πΏπΌπ½π²π: childhood best friends to lovers, forced proximity, hockey, unrequited love
π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: domestic & emotional abuse
OMG!! I NEED TO KNOW WHO HURT THIS AUTHOR IN ORDER TO WRITE SUCH AN EMOTIONAL BOOK?!
Ok, now that I'm better, let's start the review.
Sophia and Blake have been inseparable friends since they were 5 years old. Around the age of 15, something shifted between them, but everything remained hidden. That is until a few years later, one evening when they both feel lonely, they spend a hot and steamy night together. You don't want to know what chaos followed after that night, but they still remained friends.
Their friendship continues to develop as they do. Blake signed a contract with the hockey team, and Sophia met someone. And although they are both crazy about each other, still no one acts.
Something changes between them when the current boyfriend becomes violent and Blake is there to save her. That was the decisive moment for both of them to declare those strong feelings hidden in their souls.
I really liked how the author presented their story in a chronological order that would keep you in suspense and make you want to see what happens between them.
This book is a wonderful one, and I adored these characters and how strong their relationship was, even through the hardest moments.

π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: death, violence, blood
This book is a new masterpiece for me.
I wanted to read this book for a long time, and I'm glad I did because I loved it! This book plays with your mind, and doesn't let you know everything until the end. I had a lot of theories, but I wouldn't have expected that plot twist.
Sofia has been through a lot but remains strong for the sake of her sister. She had to defend herself when someone broke into her house and kills her parents, and now she needs help. From the very first evening, she and Valentina begin to conquer the man who now has to protect them.
Maddox is so sweet and precious!! He is the policeman who has to take care of Sofia and Valentina while the criminal is being searched, but during this whole period all he catches are strong feelings for Sofia. He is always with them and offers them all the support, forming a relationship like a family on the course.
The relationship between them is very beautiful, and the love between them is so strong that Maddox does not run away when he finds out the truth. The spicy scenes are super hot and do not disappoint at all.
There is a lot to say, but I don't have much to say without giving spoilers. If you have this book in your TBR list, don't hesitate!! Get your hands on it now and start it!!
This was the debut book by this author who was exceptional. I can't wait to see how the other book will be, surely mind-blowing like this one.

This book is so beautiful and Cal's sweetness melts your heart. You can't help but fall in love with him when he is the sweetest brother.
The Brightest Light of Sunshine is the debut of this author, and she nailed it! The whole book is beautifully written and has some very spicy scenes.
Grace took me by surprise in a pleasant way. Although she went through something traumatic, she is still the first to take the first steps in her future relationship with Cal.
Cal takes care of almost everything related to his younger sister. From all his actions, you can see how much he loves her and wants her to be well. He is more her father than her brother at this point. He is also very sweet with Grace. He always reassures her and tells her that he is there for her when she needs him. He is so careful with her and doesn't try to rush her into their relationship. I honestly love him!
I really liked Grace and Maddie - Cal's sister, they bonded so quickly. She saw her as a younger sister!! Adorable!!
This is the perfect book if you want to always have a smile on your face and melt your heart.

After that cliffhanger from All The Lies, I jumped straight into All The Truths. I devoured this book in less than a day.
Reina found out who her rival is and it's none other than the one person who thought she owned her heart. As she tries to figure out why Asher wants revenge, she begins to regain her memory. It's just that those memories are the answers that no one would have expected. We also find out that Reina was right that she has a twin sister.
This book is also dominated by mystery, but finally we find out what happened and why Reina was separated from her sister. Finally, we see how she must prove herself to Asher and heal not only her heart but also his.

π§πΏπΆπ΄π΄π²πΏπ: cliffhanger, death, stalker
WOW!! This book is mind blowing!
This book is full of secrets, mysteries and lies. At the beginning we only know that Reina has amnesia.
She is engaged to Asher whom she "meets" the first time she is in the hospital after the accident, where he calls her Monster and that he now owns her and that she will pay. Reina is very confused at first, that is until she learns about all the horrible things she did and now she understands why Asher calls her Monster.
She begins to feel attracted to Asher, and now that she is a different person she does not want to be seen as the awful person she once was, and tries to show that to the people who were hurt by her.
The romance between Asher and Reina is explosive. Asher doesn't want to give up the hatred he has for her, but he can't keep his hands off her. But there are secrets between them that only Asher knows.
The book ends in a major cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read the next book to find out how their story continues.

How... How can Rina write a better book than the other and in a duet? How??
Almost the entire book is full of spoilers, so I will keep the review short.
Jonathan is still possessive, only now he wants to protect Aurora from anyone, including herself. Aurora breaks through his cold and hard facade, and changes him
into better. Not by much, but she did it. And that was seen when she needed him, and he was always there to offer his love in his own way.
One thing I really liked about Aurora was that she made both Jonathan and Aiden have a better relationship with each other. And as I said in a previous review, Aurora is the perfect match for Jonathan.
