A sweet age play romance that's light on plot, but full of heart.

Tate and Addison are ridiculously adorable together.

It's taboo-lite, but mind your squicks.

NGL, I wasn't sure how to feel about a RhettLo relationship at first.

Jack's ex that can't let go and Mercy's younger brother who he's taken into his home? Sounds like a Jerry Springer episode waiting to happen. 

Despite the obvious differences, Rhett and Logan are more alike than either wants to admit. Both fighting to achieve their own ends, and battling a growing attraction neither wants to acknowledge. It's a perfect storm on and off the ice.

Through fake dating, real emotions, and a conspiracy that could ruin everything they hold dear, Rhett and Logan learn what's really important and they'll do anything to protect those they love.

I'm not a fan of sports romances, but I'm hooked on the guys of the Heartbreak Hockey series. Miss Mock has done it again. 🥰

I enjoyed this book and loved many of the characters therein.

The bake format was charming and you got to know each character more through each concoction.

The added recipes in the back were a nice touch too. 

However, the sheer amount of red flags that Rosaline ignored

concerning Alain was AGGRAVATING. That it took sexual assault to open her eyes was beyond alarming.

Yes, she's got a lot of issues but good grief woman!

The cringe was strong, the urge to punch

Alain

even stronger.

I deducted ¼ of a star for that reason alone.

An interesting start to this series. A MFMM poly romance with alphaholes and one sassy witch. 

HFN ending leading towards more to come, but not a cliffhanger per se.

Looking forward to the next exploration into this world.

AAAHHHH!

What an epic finale to an amazing series!

I still want to beat the crap out of

Patricia Burke

for their cruel mental & emotional manipulations. They got off too easily, IMO. 🤬

Yay for HEA, though!

A wonderful Queer YA trilogy. Highly recommend.

This entire series has been a joy to read.

While the first book established the relationship with a plot, the rest of the series is just heartwarming slice of life with a lot of sex, romance, and some kink.

The Accidental Master series is a wholesome read with plenty of steam; their love story is just wonderful.

I'm not ashamed to say that I'll miss Jackson, Sawyer, and Cooper. These pups and their master have stolen my heart.
