5/5โญ easy. And the narrators? *chefs kiss*

Was this anything like B&B? no, well maybe a teeny tiny little bit. But these are different people, a different situation, it was bound to be different. And I loved it. 

Lark is my spirit person, she is so peppy, and adorable, and crafty, and a tad bit demented. I love her, she is perfect in every way, period.

Lachlan is grumpy, and broody, and a bit of a pessimist, but he is the perfect book boyfriend. And nothing will ever change my mind. 

Lark and Lachlan together? AHHHHHHHH โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ EXPLOSIVE. Their chemistry is beyond amazing. The progression of their relationship was perfectly paced and was outstanding. I love them together so freaking much.

This one is not that spicy, it didn't get spicy until 70% of the way through, but that's okay, it didn't need it. Their banter was more than enough for me. I need so much more of them, they are my favorite couple at the moment. ๐Ÿ˜

Cade and Willa's story? o m g. I expected to like it a lot, I did not expect to love it and not want to put it down at all. Willa is adventurous, impulsive, loyal, and has a gigantic heart and I love her, so much. Cade is broody, grumpy, but he also has a big heart, he is just more scared to let down his walls to show it. I loved the story progression of these two getting to know each other and the events leading up to the scene that changes everything. ๐Ÿคญiykyk. And that ending? omg I love that for them. I'm picking up Powerless asap so I can continue this series. And if you haven't started this series yet but love romantic, cowboy, small town stories, this is is bestie. This series will be the first one I recommend for cowboy romances. Period.

This is one of those books where you go in because the cover or title or both intrigued you and you stay for the vibes. 

It was good, especially the audiobook? Both Teddy and Stella were AMAZING as per usual. ๐Ÿ˜ The vibes were immaculate. I am all in with anything that has vampires in it. And the plot was intriguing enough. I just found the whole virginity and magical repercussions part of the story to be a little โ€ฆ strange. But besides that, it was a fun story. Iโ€™ll definitely be continuing the series in hopes that Julian and his little pet may finally better their communication skills. ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ

A lot happening and nothing at the same time. Like, a lot of action was happening and you can tell we are reaching the end. But there was so much action with 0 character depth and no funny banter and a whole new plot twist that makes no sense to me. I am still loving the series overall though.

The magic I felt when first reading Powerless, it just wasnโ€™t there for me with this book. I felt like all of this could have been condensed in to a novella. I wanted to DNF, but I love these characters so much, I just couldnโ€™t do it and pushed through. But I was bored 75% of the time. I skimmed the majority of the book after the halfway point. 

Now, to the books credit, I have been anticipating this book since reading Powerless in January, so I fear I may have overhyped it in my head. So, when it was something completely different than what I thought it would be, the disappointment set in. 

But, the author herself, her writing grew and you could see that with this book. The writing was spectacular. And I love Kai and Pae so much which is why I stayed and kept reading. This book was all about our characters as they move past the events of the first book and I did love their growth. It just lacked action and adventure and that connection I felt with Powerless. 

But, this is all just my opinion, if you go in this book just for the vibes, you will have a great time and probably love it. I need to stop going in with expectations and that is a me problem. ๐Ÿ˜‚
