I liked this book a lot more than I liked the first one. I would have liked to get Lo's POV through this book, it was a lot of inner monologue from Lily. I did like how the authors handled each of these addictions and I think they put a lot of research and effort into telling these stories. I think Lily and lo both grew a lot in this book as they make strides to overcoming the obstacles in their way in tackling their addiction. Can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series!

Thank you to the author and Truly Yours PR for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was a great debut for a new author. I liked getting the different povs in this book but wish there had been a designation of the pov change and that the characters got their own chapters instead of it switching in the middle of a chapter. But I loved the characters and the setting. My favorite character I think would be the house of liv. There were some twists and turns I saw coming. But I think it set things up for the series to continue and I can't wait to read the rest of it!

Man I enjoyed this book so much. And the audiobook was so well done. I loved the characters and side characters. Loved how there was lightheartedness and funny moments mixed in with the seriousness! Plus the mystery was intriguing too! Can't wait to read the rest in this series!

Man this book is like a mix of the bachelor, and the hunger games. It gripped me from start to finish. I loved all of the main characters as well as the side characters. There were twists and turns I didn't see coming. The audiobook was fantastic, and I can't wait to continue the series!

Thank you to Valentine PR and the author for giving me an arc in exchange for an honest review. This was my second book of the author (eventually I'll read all her books) and it did not disappoint. I loved the FMC and MMC, and their struggles with their relationship. I think Lachlan showed the most growth and I loved how determined Ainsley was! I really enjoyed this fictional town and the cast of characters. Can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Terms of Obsession by H.N. DeFore

Thank you to the author and Happily Booked PR! I enjoyed this book and the main characters. I loved how sex positive the book and all of the characters from the main to the side ones are. I loved how confident Callie is, how she know what she likes and wants, and doesn't settle. Nate was an awesome MMC and that he helped her to explore what she wanted. I thought the minor conflict at the end was handled in a great way and both of the characters worked through the issue. I loved the stalker romance aspect of this and think it was done very well. It did not feel too instalove to me - which I don't like in these books - so I was glad it didn't have that in it. All around it was a good book and I loved seeing characters from other books in this series in a different way.

I thought this was an interesting read, and a good introduction into this world. I feel like I'm left with a lot of questions and not a lot of answers, which I would have liked some of them answered. There were some things I didn't like, but hope the author will flesh out more in the next book. I did really like the main characters, and the side characters. And can't wait to see more of them throughout the series.

Thank you to the author for giving me an arc for an honest review. I absolutely loved this story. I'd fallen in love with Mabel's character when I met her in Austin and Veronica's story! So I couldn't wait for her to get her own! Joe lupo is book boyfriend material. And he showed so much growth and character development. This was a surprise baby trope done very well!

I enjoyed this book and I enjoyed these characters. The marriage of convenience is one of my favorites and this book was ripe with "my wife" lines. There were twists and turns I didn't see coming. And villains who didn't get as satisfying as a death as I'd hoped. Can't wait to see what's in store for these characters and their families in the spinoff series.
