A debut romance novel that I gave 5 stars? Yes!!! The setting is picturesque but relatable.  The structure and flow of the story is non linear but executed well. The character arcs for both FMC & MMC are beautifully written. Carley Fortune is quickly becoming a favorite summer romance author for me!

The last book in this series, and I truly loved it. Reading Daisy and Jett's love story was something I have been wanting for the entire seriea but then Siena Trap gave us their extended lifetime with all the snapshots of the couples we have already met and loved plus all the highlights of their own timeless love story?! Literally perfection! I also loved how the series was structured with having this story be the last entry in the series....brilliant.  Beware, you will need tissues and a big hug at the end!

How does one review, with words, absolute perfection? I inhaled this book in under 48 hrs. By page 16, I knew this was going to be a top 5 book of the year for me. This book is about space and NASA...2 things I couldn't care less about, and yet here I am RAVING about it! That alone is telling in my opinion. The last 40 pages had me in a state of inconsolable tears while driving in a car full of people! I closed the book and just stared off to process. It's so amazing.

Another amazing heart-wrenching, thought-provoking story by Kristin Hannah. She truly writes in magic. This book shone a light on so many micro aggressions and prejudices in our world. Very good, I was captivated and cared the entire time!

This book had some really great elements. The main female's character arch was well done, and I enjoyed her. The MMC also had good character development, and the storyline had parts that made me cry. However, the writing was just mid. There was a lot of repetition and clumsy writing. Ultimately, I enjoyed but am not interested in continuing the series.

Wow! That was a wild ride! Part social studies class and part fever dream. It was very atmospheric and spooky. I loved the lore that gave Haitian-Creole  energy. I literally had no idea who the bad guys were because everyone was sus af!

Wow. I finished a while ago and had to sit with this before I could review. This book was truly a tale, and I am so glad I listened to it. Hearing Anya tell the story to Nina and Meredith felt like a warm hug. Then, the last 90 minutes absolutely gutted me. I haven't cried that hard from a book in a minute. 5 stars. No notes.

This was a fun book! It was who I thought but not why I thought. 3 stars because it took 200 pages for me to get into it, and the ending was anticlimactic for me. I wish we had more of Shooter and Celeste. The things I loved were the play on the motif of The Perfect Couple (spoiler, none of them) and the fact that I literally suspected everyone at one point of being the killer.

Im a sucker for a cowboy romance and this was a good one.  A little heavy on the internal dialog at times but the chemistry was well done.  There were parts (ie the dancing at The Rattler specifically) that just made me smile really big. The perfect little HEA ending❤️ The spice was a long time coming but worth the wait.

Ahhhhhh, literally, this series is soooo good. I did have to knock half a star off because we were in THE WEEDS from pages 215-300 with all the lore and dieties and Gods talk....whew! Anyway, Poppy is literally a badass, and the last 3rd of the books, she was bringing Aelin Energy, which I will always LIVE FOR!
