I feel like their underlying issue of his overprotectiveness balanced against her lifestyle wasn’t fully resolved, but whew these two are hot.

Poor Andrew did not deserve to have to put up with Adriana, who gives very strong Temple of Doom leading lady energy. I found her incredibly annoying throughout. William is a very heavily stereotyped gay side character. The writing style was a bit clunky. Overall not a great read.

I completely understand the hype around this one and it is well-deserved. Ellie is such a great character, and she’s so perfect for Lothaire. The plot is bananas in the best way and that one spicy scene 😅

Finally we get Sienna and Hawk! I’d been waiting for their book since the beginning and they were just as hot as I was hoping. I felt like the mating bond was solved in a bit of a hand-wavey way, but this is definitely a favourite in the series.

One of my top reads of the year, if not the top. This book is really for all the eldest daughters. I loved Ava so much. I think so often in the hands of a less skilled writer, a character like her can come across as blowing things out of proportion but Daria builds things so perfectly that you’re completely with Ava every step of the way. I also really loved the journey Roman goes on, he’s just so freaking adult about everything and I’m with Ava, this is incredibly sexy. The settings are lush and the side characters are a delight. All of the rum-drinking in here has inspired me, time to start researching some cocktail recipes 🍹

Short, sweet and predictable, with a power dynamic that we haven’t really explored yet in this series. I think changling/changling couples are kind of the least interesting in this series, because I just don’t love the way Singh handles the issue of “dominance”. Very excited to finally be at Sienna and Hawk’s book though.

Phew this was hot and delightful. Maggie and Aiden are so lovely together and I love a list as a plot device.

I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. Such a delightful memoir and I highly recommend the audiobook.

If we’re giving every named character a book, I guess this was fine, but it was two characters I wasn’t all that curious about. Their relationship dynamic (young woman who lives at home with a kind of controlling family and older man who assigns himself as her bodyguard) felt a bit dated.
