I love this series so much! Each book is such a fun one, shenanigans all over with everybody, and with the perfect sprinkles of romance between Riley and Nick and their relationship. This book had a great mystery plot that kept me guessing until the end, filled with lots of crazy moments you can expect by now from a Riley Thorn book.

This book was so good! I love the fake dating trope, and this was just perfect. Will and Enzo are such great people, and they made me swoon so often! And also really craving ice cream, I wish I could visit Indigo Bay and get some at Cherry’s myself!

I love this whole series so much, and this was a perfect addition! It’s very steamy, but also filled with so much growth, acceptance, and learning to love yourself. Go read it!

A fun read, but a bit chaotic. So many characters flowing in and out of the story that I lost track a little bit.

This novella was such a great treat! I love Marsh and Levi so much, and we finally got their proper wedding! And it was all I could’ve asked for. Friends, family, love, even a bit of suspense with the case, it had it all!

This book had me at the content warning ‘bad guys being murdered in cold blood’. You know it’ll be good when it starts with that!
I didn’t think I’d laugh as much as I did reading a Mafia book, but there were so many great moments! I love Sparrow and Xaviaro, and seeing their relationship develop in the middle of the craziness that is the search for revenge. What a great book!

I love Kathryn’s writing so much! She always knows how to make me feel all the things. And they did it again with Free Fall! The slow burn between Elijah and Luke sizzles from the moment the two meet, and it’s pure fireworks when they cave! A great balance between romance and suspense, and the final third of the book had me on the edge of my seat!
