This is perfect for a cosy day in when you want something easy and sweet to read. Insta-connection but also a forbidden love. I read it in one sitting and loved their HEA 🥰.

I don't even give too much away with this series because I'd like everyone to experience it the way I did. I go into each book completely blind and not knowing what could happen next. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, have you screaming at characters one minute and laughing at them the next. I have so many emotions when reading this series and I can't wait to move onto book 7 🖤.

Cute, fin, easy romance. Holden is a doctor who takes part in a fight club in his spare time. Blair is a student, a bar tender..oh and his cleaner, and he doesn't even know it. They cross paths ay the club one night and sparks fly the minute they make eye contact. 

I read this in a day. It's definitely something nice to read when you want to relax. These are the types of romances you can't put down once you start 🤗.

I couldn't put this book down. I tabbed the hell out of it. I love a sports romance, especially a hockey romance. Carter was hilarious, sweet, endearing, and so cute. He made my cheeks hurt. Olivia was sassy and didn't take any crap from Carter. I loved how she wasn't afraid to be vulnerable in front of him. Their relationship development throughout the book was so beautiful, and I could t wait to see their HEA. 
The side character' s were amazing too. I can't wait to carry on with the series, especially Adams story in book 3. He is such a sweetheart.

I really enjoyed this book, I read it in about 1 day. An enemies to lovers dark romance with a Sweeney Todd twist. I enjoyed the opening chapter. It really set the tone for the rest of the book. I think if you like Emily McIntire's Never After series, thN you will really enjoy this. It has similar vibes, and you definitely root for the anti heroes in this. Both MC's were well written, and I wanted nothing more than to see them get their HEA 🖤🖤.

This was a quick read. It focused on the female character and her struggles with mental health. She is sent yo a facility by her brother to get her the help she needs. Here she meets Leo, her therapist. His sole purpose is to help her heal and love herself again and along the way he falls in lvoe with her too. I read it in one sitting, it had its flaws in some areas but I would recommend to others.

What another perfect book in the ACOTAR series. I could not stop reading, Mist and Fury is still my favourite because of the development between Feyre and Rhysand, but the plot and twists during this book were absolutely incredible. 
I laughed, cried, gasped, cried some more, and then totally swooned over our Bat Boys Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel. I can't wait to move on to Frost and Starlight 🥰.

This book blew me away. The plot, the world building, the characters, and the relationship development, it was all just glorious. I have to say it has got to be one of my favourite reads... EVER. I could sit and read about Feyre, Rhysand, and the inner circle all day long. When I finished this book, I was sad that I'd never get to read it for the first time again. I know for a fact that I'll be going back to this book and re reading it many times in the future. I feel like I'm still riding the high of everything that transpired 😭. 
I can't believe I have had this series on my bookshelf for years and only just read it now. But now I'm in this world, I won't be leaving 😂. I think I'll be recommending this series (this book specifically) for years to come. 
Also, if I haven't made it clear, I LOVE RHYSAND 🖤
