Jagged Edges by H.C. Riley
5.0
I am absolutely in love with these three. They compliment each other so well, like we knew Riot and Zeke weke dope af together but Cole was the perfect missing piece. He's a little piece of light and innocence that both Riot and Zeke need. and the way they love is so deep and raw and they are each so vulnerable. HC really knows how to write her men and she did not miss a single beat with these three beautiful angels. There's so much trauma to unpack with this story, they're each battling with their past and the everything they've been thru and how it brought them all to Havok Hills. but while they each have their own traumas they are working thru, they are so open with each other and guide each other thru all the hurt. I just can't get enough of them, and that spice? that one scene with all three? omg get a fan ready cause it is HOT!!
Ship of Shadows by Tee Harlowe
5.0
I am eating these retellings/reimaginings all the way up. Ship of Shadows is exactly what you think it will be, our dear ol Captain "Hook", Pirate Lord Bastian. And if you never heard the conspiracy of "Hook" being the good guy and "Pan" being the bad guy, well let this book be your intro into this world. Does our dear sexy pirate take our boys off to Neverland? Yes. Does he have a good reason for it, or is he just evil? You'll have to read and find out.
But the way this book tugged at my damn heart strings as I was nearing the end and damn near had me in tears. The way this man worships Gabrielle and would absolutely sacrifice himself for her and she for him and her people is just beautiful. There's a lot of raw emotion and heavy bretayal in this one and I just really hits you deep. I might be all over the place with this review but just bare with me. The banter between our dear pirate lord and princess is delicious. Bastian's slick tongue? The way he just eggs her on, his hot and cold nature... But it's so clear to see that this man would go to the absolute end of the world for her. But let's get one thing clear, our dear princess is not a damsel in distress, although she is a lil reckless and finds herself in difficult situations. Anyways, all this to say that you should read this damn book because it amazing.
Also I cant forget our dear Driscoll, I absolutely love him. The perfect amount of comedy to even out the the trauma that you go thru. I can't wait to see more of him and watch his character develope and grow as this series continues.

Snaring Emberly by Gigi Styx
5.0
Sending you my therapy bill, because why am I into this manipulative, gaslighting, conniving, 6'+, dark hair, light eyes, sexy man? I should not want to be under someone's thumb, be someone's prisoner as much as this man Roman makes me want to be one. You want my millions and total control of my assets? Hand me a pen, where do I sign?
Roman was not playing around, when he said he was taking back his empire he meant that shit. The funny thing to me though is that had he just asked our girl for the things he wanted, I'm pretty sure she would have handed everything over. But Roman chose to gaslight, manipulate, and played with Emberly's insecurities and her passions. That's what's unforgivable, everything else you can get over, business is business and assets are rightfully his. But messing with someone's mind and orchestrating this whole plan based on her passion. Straight to jail.
And then the tampering and the signatures at dinner?! Roman, my guy! How the hell were you going to explain that one away?
All in all, I devoured this. And while it won't be everyone's cup of tea I loved every second of their back-and-forth banter. She kept him on his toes and I love her for that.

The amnesia thing has me worried at first but it was done so well here and after the last heart wrenching book I read this was the perfect fluff to ease my aching heart. It was such a fun and sweet read. Whole time I was yelling, it's him! It's him! I had such a great time reading this and I really hope there's a story on Nash next.
