The depth in this series so far, is unmatched. Just when I think I have the storyline figured out, Jagger with add another layer to the plot. Not only is the story so well written, but the characters and their back stories......phenomenal. There is so much emotion and turmoil to everyone’s stories, you can’t help but root for them. Although this story is a dark romance, there is so much more the the characters and their lives. I simply cannot get enough of this whole series so far.

I loved the layout of this story. It was funny and charming and really had you rooting for the MCs and against her ex. Everyone in this story played an important part, and I loved that everything flowed together so well. Just when they think their story is coming to an end, they are thrown back into each other’s orbit, and you can really feel the tension that they can’t ignore. I love a brother’s best friend romance and this one had me swooning.

This was a quick, cute fall read. It really felt like Gilmore Girls meets Hallmark it a short story. I loved the characters and that we got a story with a plot, even if it was shorter. We could see how the couple was going to navigate trials together even with the pressures of the outside world. It really was a heartwarming, smalltown romance that gave cozy vibes with witty banter. I really enjoyed this lighthearted read.

Boy was this a long one but a good one! The plot was intense and just when I thought everything was settled, there would be another twist. I loved every character. They all brought something to the story and made it feel so much more detailed. I felt so many different emotions while reading this and those are always some of my favorite books. I can’t wait to read more!

I don’t ever want this series to end. The characters and the writing are phenomena. the storyline never fails to captivate me and I can’t ready the books fast enough. I could really feel the tension between the FMC and MMC. You could tell from the beginning that they had built that connection prior and it was something that they couldn’t ignore. I absolutely just love these books!
