Thus was a good book. I listened to the audio and the narrators brought the characters to life.

This was a good series but you need a family, to explain all the family members

This is everything that I wanted in a romance book, and Kayleigh has delivered and more. Kayleigh had me on my toes every click of the page I was so invested in the story that I didnβt see the end coming. While reading, I couldnβt help but find a piece of myself in Rio, and that is when you know you have found a fantastic author. As I read, my emotions were like a rollercoaster that didnβt stock up on tissues, wine, and ice cream. BW&ST is the third book in the π±ππππππππ π½πππππ πΎπππππ. In this book, you get to meet Emeric Banes & Rionach Moran, along with a few more characters. We first get a glimpse of Emeric in Golden Wings & Pretty Things, but in this one, we see how he will go to the ends of the earth for his family no matter if it hinders his safety. He may do/ say things that are a bit unhinged, but thatβs what makes him so loveable. Rio is more or less the black sheep of her family & she is perfectly fine with that. One thing leads to another, leading Emeric to enter her life. Things get spicy in and out of the bedroom.
The love that Emeric & Rio have for one another at the beginning is like two storms coming together, and in the end, they make a beautiful rainbow. This has been one of my favorite books of 2024. I give this book a 5-star rating, and I highly recommend it along with the previous two. If you havenβt checked out Kayleigh Kings' books, I 100% recommend them.
All opinions are my own.

This was a fantastic read. Every page that was released made me want to read more. The characters were phenomenal to read. Every time I thought I was figuring out what was going to happen next, I was thrown for a loop. That is when you know you have found a good author worth reading more from.
This is my first book from this author, and it is AMAZING. It had the right amount of everything to keep me interested, and I fell in love with it. I can go on and on about this book, but I want to keep this short and sweet without boring people with a long and thenthy review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This book had everything that I had wanted and more. It had new and old characters. I loved all of the characters, especially Damian. He was the glue that held the lovely group together. That ending was heartfelt and amazing to read.

Phenomenal
I finished this a few nights ago. It was amazingly awesome. This was my first college romance, and it was perfectly well done, in my opinion. The tension between Blake and Hudson, in the beginning, was pure gold, with the way he treats her throughout the rest of the book talk about swoon-worthy. My favorite character was Blakeβs best friend, Frankie; she is terrific with her quick one-liners. I canβt wait to see what this duo comes out with next. If I could give this book more than five stars, I would sprinkle them like glitter confetti.
