God I love this series. 😂😂 I am constantly getting caught off guard and laughing. It’s amazing. The dog…iykyk 😂😂

These 2…. Love them. Fake dating is such a fun trope. I love it. They care deeply for each other and it’s such a good story. So entertaining!

The Bold and the Bullheaded by Laura Pavlov, Willow Aster

4.0

I love all the nicknames in this one. Had my giggling. Emma and her family hand out nicknames like candy and it’s amazing. 

Spence is serious and sweet and reassuring while Emma learns to trust and let go.  

Adore the families and the banter and cussing / making up alternatives to cuss words. Hysterical.

Gah this series is fun! I saw the train wreck coming 1000% miles away but I don't even care. I cackled so many times in this book. The family dynamic, the friends ate comical.

More Of Us by Laura Pavlov

Wow. What a rollercoaster of a story. A beautiful story of working on oneself before getting back together so the relationship is better than ever. This story was sweet and heartbreaking. Jade and Cruz were made for each other but they needed time to heal separately and then together. So good!

Holy shit that was brutal. Not every love story is easy. Not every love story is a continuous road of joy and ease. There is struggle, there is pain, there are boundaries drawn. This story portrays that. Can’t wait to read what’s next for Jade and Cruz.

More Jade by Laura Pavlov

4.0

Ok okkkaaaayyyy….I like it. I like it. Jade and Cruz….I’m ready to jump into book two. Their relationship is sweet - starts out as a friendship and then leads to more. They come from different worlds and there is  some drama but it’s balanced out by their love and the friends that love and support them.

Ice Mechanic by Lia Bevans

4.0

This book is cheesy as hell but I enjoyed it. I love that she’s a mechanic and he’s a hockey player. Their dynamic is funny and cute. This is that hallmark, clean romance that makes you all kinds of gooey and warm. 

Fire Line by Maggie C. Gates

4.25

It's rare that I read a book where both characters are grumpy characters but this one works so well. They struggle to find joy because of thier past and their experiences but they are allowing themselves to stay stuck…until they are motivated by more to get better and work on themselves…by each other. Lennon & CJ….I adore them. When they are arguing and bantering it is hysterical to me. I really enjoyed this story and the family and found family of it. It's beautiful.
