So extremely sad to be leaving Abbs Valley 😭 I’ve enjoyed every bit of this journey and Ames is absolutely the queen of RH.

WOW. I’m normally a strictly smut reader, but i was starting to get bored and frustrated with the lack of plot in most reads. But wow oh wow i had no idea i would enjoy this so much. It really kept me guessing the entire time, and my guesses were wrong in the end - which i love because predictability sucks. Great read! Highly recommend.

Very cute story. Great as a palate cleanser between dark reads when you just need a little fluff.

I loved reading Holly/Ella’s story! I adored her from the start and read this book in less than a day. It quite literally left me in a puddle on multiple occasions 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ . Great read would absolutely recommend if you’re in the mood for a good smutty Christmas read!

Absolutely obsessed. I think this novella was my favorite out of the series. What a way to tell such a great story in such a short amount of time.

Tyson won my heart (as expected) but I’m also a HUGE fan of Lake. I love how she kept a backbone (as much as she could) even when dealing with someone like Ty.
