Cute! I feel like the girls were all a bit too baby-ish for me (like they're not actual babies y'know, they're still adult women π) but the picnic plot was super cute <3

So cute! I definitely missed the rest of the cast in this one (it's set in Australia) but I love that we got another chronically/disabled FMC! Could definitely relate to her not taking her meds and ignoring her health haha. Maybe I just need my own Macca to remind me π€

I loveee Eden and I'm so happy we finally got her story π«Άπ» She deserves her HEA so much π₯Ί and even though it took her some time to admit it, Zeke is the man for that!
Why 3 stars then? While I appreciate the disability rep greatly, there were some scenes that made me really uncomfortable! Zeke just takes Eden out of her wheelchair to carry her, without her permission. They talk kinda away from the group and she has no way to leave. He tells her "well if something had happened, you could've just called out" and that is so icky. There's another scene where the two of them are in a cabin and he tells her brother "yeah she's safe her, she can't leave anyway :)" implying that it's because she's in a wheelchair. Kidnapp-y much?
I'd love to see more disability rep in romance but please only well-thought rep!

My favourite of the series! I love a good second-chance romance π Jed and Daisy were really just made for each other and you can't help but root for them to get over their past π₯Ί While the plot is still similar to the previous ones, I feel it was a bit more detailed, especially the backstories.

While this is a satisfying conclusion, this series took *such* a dip from the first book to the last one. Mainly because while it was still a bit quick read, it still felt like nothing happened π I also didn't like how the "enemy" changed, the Daniel storyline was just weird.
Still, I love the couple and how they got through all their troubles <3 this had good BDSM elements (always consent!) and bad ones (any questions = bratting?) but overall they had super cute moments and I always love protective heroes π₯°

This was such a filler book and I really struggled with how some of the BDSM aspects were portrayed π«
Like I said in my review of book 4, I don't think all backtalk should immediately be classified as bratting and the guys say that as well!! but that don't follow through. There's also a scene where Ryder punishes Olivia for not calling him Daddy, even though he never told her to call him that and he just gets pissed she can't mindread apparently.
Otherwise the plot does pick up a bit with the whole stalking thing and Olivia's new job so I'm hoping for some action in the last book!

Finally getting into the threesome action π₯³
Ryder got off his ass and I'm loving it. We find out more details about his, Jax' and their ex' relationship and why he was so hesitant to start a new one but imo he could've talked about that sooner, like this is book 4 dude!!
They're slowly getting the hang of their relationship and while I love how protective they are of Olivia, I hate it when all criticism/legit questions by the sub are portrayed as backtalk/bratting β let the poor woman speak π
Still, I'm really enjoying this series, especially how quick it is to read. There's more dramaaa at the end and a proper cliffhanger so let's see what's next!

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Pullen's "Saved By Two" is one of my all time favorite comfort romances and I was soo excited to read this! Can say this book didn't disappoint π«Άπ»
It took me a bit to warm up to all the guys, especially Jax, but towards the end I loved them all. They all have different relationships with Lily, some developing more quickly, some less, but that is something I really appreciated and I feel we see too rarely in RH.
There wasn't tons of smut but a) the smut that was there was goood π₯΅π₯΅ and b) if I had to choose between dozens of smut scenes and proper relationship development, I'll always choose the latter.
All the characters still have loads of backstory (or at least I think so) that we've yet to discover, though we did get hints. I wish we already knew more about what the guys went through on their last deployment but I guess I have to be patient π
As this is the first in a series (yay!) we didn't yet get a conclusion to the stalker storyline either and imo this was more of a book to really introduce everyone (after all there are 5 MCs...) instead of a "proper" romantic suspense but I'm hopeful that's what we'll get in the sequel! I'm ready for some more action π
Thanks to the author for the free copy and I'll be looking forward to what comes next!
