False Start by Nicole Dykes
5.0
“I'm man enough to admit I needed a good night of cuddling with my best friend. That's not weird or anything.”
This book was so sweet.
Austin made me feel sad and happy at the same time. Sad because his life in the small town he lived it was never going to be as good as it could outside of it. And his unrequited love was painful. But so so happy that he was a little selfish and decided to take his own route, to go to a college that was open and not set in the old ages. Happy that he had the courage to be himself, to confess his feelings and to try to get over what he thought could never be.
I understood him being scared when things started to move forward with Vaughan but his fear was getting in the way of their relationship and he was letting it.
“That's what this feels like right now—a claiming.
He's mine.”
Vaughan was the goldenest puppy ever. He was clueless, in love with his friend without realizing and just going with what was expected of him in that small town, never truly considering other options. But once Austin took distance he started to realize his life was only ever that good because his happiness came from spending time with him. Him falling hard once he accepted his attraction was endearing and hot.
“Total and absolute trust.
This is what I always thought love was.
No doubts. When it comes to him, I know he's my person, the one I can always go to. He's the love of my life.”
The transition from friends to lovers was so easy and meant to be. It was so funny that Vaughan was even thinking “wish I pulled my head out of my ass sooner”. But what hit me the hardest was the way their families reacted. Like how much more love and support can they have for their kids? It’s amazing to read and it made my chest tight with emotion.

Rhett by Riley Hart
5.0
“I have an us, and I never want to lose it.”
This book was emotionally charged. Feelings all over the place being explored and delved into. Grief, anxiety, self doubt, family relationships…
I don’t cry with books. I can feel bad or sad about the characters, even have my heart hurt for them but not crying real tears. Yet this mf had me bawling by page 100.
“Tripp is like a warm jacket in the middle of winter, a mug of hot chocolate in freezing hands.”
Rhett was a sweetheart with the worst father ever. He was a good big brother but growing up admiring his father fucked him up and in turn fucked his relationship with his brothers.
It’s always good, doesn’t matter at what point, that someone decides to go to therapy. That person is ready to change, heal and learn about themselves and how to be better. And Rhett doing it for himself is the best part. He stole my heart. His tortured soul, his caring ways, how his mind worked was just so perfectly portrayed you couldn’t help but feel so much empathy for him.
“I trust you”
Tripp was such a good dad. That’s the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of him. He was open, accepting and supportive. And he somehow transmitted this vibes to his relationship with Rhett.
“I want the marks. Want to know he was so damn hungry for me, he could barely control himself.”
And Meadow was also a star in this show. She was bright, honest and wise beyond her years. Her relationship with her dad, as well as her relationship with Rhett were highlights of this book for me. They also made my chest painfully tight with emotion.
Not content with giving me all the feels with the humans Riley had to throw in disabled pets. As an owner of multiple ones it hit harder than ever because I was already emotional.
Riley I’m sending you the therapy bill and you’ll have to be the one to explain to the therapist why I was crying about fictional characters.

Winning Brynn by Maisie Myers
4.0
Loved it! Single daddy 4eva (ever and Eva be my name is Eva and I want one)
As a side note, Isabella is not redeemable in my eyes. She was until she did it a second time. F —no.
This book was so sweet and so stressful at the same time. I loved the evolution of the relationship, not only between Leo and Brynn, but also them with Salem. How it went from a house to a home (corny BUT true).
Leo deserved the sterns talks he got to open his eyes and realized that he was being an ass (or how he would say it: arse) He was such a good dad, but he had to see that he could be more than just that, that there was balance and his life, while having to adapt and change for Salem, didn't have to end or stop because of it. He was so protective and caring, not only of his daughter but also of Brynn, and after learning of Ivy, I was a goner cause I knew that man loved with his whole heart (it also helped me forgive him for almost making me cry with the cat).
Brynn was such a sweet soul that sometimes she got on my nerves. She was nice to a fault, understanding even when it wasn't warranted, and it says more about me than about her that I felt she could have been mean (like super mean, and I would have understood). The whole baby situation made me feel so anxious, and even if I could see Brynn and Issa's views, I still didn't really like that whole experience.
Overall this was a great read and I can't wait to see where Maisie takes us with Alex's story!

The Cute Psycho by Veronica Lancet
5.0
I’m in distress, wtf was that ending
____________________________
Veronica, I'm sending you my therapy bill because what do you mean I have to wait to see what happens??
This book was perfectly paced, the POV's were matched perfectly, and the plot to romance to spice ratio, perfection!
Vlad, my tortured, poor, unfeeling man, who cares so deeply and loves without realizing he is capable of it. How hard his life has been, and how hard it continues to be! His story broke my heart, but at the same time, I couldn't help but find humor, like him, to cope. Having to change himself to fit the mold and still not being accepted tore me to pieces. When he met Sissi and finally had a moment of peace, I started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for him, but of course, life is never easy.
Sissi, brave, open-minded and perfectly unhinged to match his personality, to have him help her discover the world, even the darkest parts, and to ground him and show him how humanity is. She is loyal to death and asks for so little in exchange for all of her. She deserves the world, and I'm eagerly waiting to see how everything develops in the next book (Veronica, please hurry or I'll die).
Thank you to Siren Books and Veronica for the e-arc!

Soft DNF...
Maybe it was me, I was very emotional and my period wasn't helping, but maybe I wasn't in the right frame to read this right now. I enjoyed the first 50% and I was engaged, but at the 52% mark I could see how the rest of the book was going to play out and I didn't enjoy the relationship between MCs as much as I thought I would. The moment everything turned to contractual and the FMCs past and her work as a cam girl took precedence over her relationship with the guys I disconnected and didn't get the motivation to keep reading. Maybe I'll come back to it in the near future because it looks promising, but not right now.
Still, thank you to Mandy and the author agency for the e-arc.

Deacon by Raya Morris Edwards
5.0
Im so fucking easy, give me a hot man that works with horses and is instantly obsessed with the FMC and I’m sold.
I felt so bad for Freya. Life gave her the worst cards without a single reason. And Deacon too, the start of his life was rough and not what any child should live like.
<b>“Yeah, how’s it feel to be a little bitch?”</b>
Deacon was unintentionally funny. That man said “no tracker on her phone cause it’s invasive…but I’m going to clone it so I can see her texts and stuff :)”
When the spice hit I was not expecting Freya to be so hot but I was happy. It was also a lot sad to see how words stuck to her and tainted a part of life that’s not only natural but healthy. It was so especial to see her reclaiming that hurtful word with Deacon’s help.
He was rough but caring and sweet. He listened and payed attention to all the things that made Freya happy. He plotted and schemed to get her and worked to keep her.
I need him to go see a doctor about his nose because it probably would be better off having some steel in it…
<b>"Why put flowers in my hair?" she whispers.
"Because I'm about to give you the most disrespectful fucking you've ever had, and I want you to feel beautiful for it,"</b>
Freya was too nice for her own good sometimes. She was naive and scared, wanting to break the cycle but not knowing how. The moment she met Deacon she saw a new path, but fear still held her back. The BDSM dynamic helper not only him, but also Freya, giving her the opportunity to let control and fear go and lay her trust on Deacon’s feet. I liked how open and willing she was once she trusted, and that trust was strong. She believed in Deacon and his feelings for her wholeheartedly.
<b>“I always feel loved now. That has changed me, fundamentally rewiring my brain, healing my heart.”</b>
It annoyed me a little how naive and ignorant Freya was in terms of “leaving” her stepfather and what he was plotting for her and the land. She kept comparing Deacon to her stepfather and while they appeared similar it was unfair once she got to know Deacon.
<b>"Mind if I borrow that pussy for a minute?" he says, kissing up my neck.
"It's all yours, daddy,"</b>
Around the 64% mark it’s when it felt a little slow. Like the pace was dragging and the same loop of things kept happening with minimal changes. I wanted to shake Freya so she would stop being scared because as much as I understood her train of thoughts, it was frustrating. But then it picked up again and they connected deeper and opened up to each other.
The solution for the easement came to me at like 79% because I’m a genius (jk I was ruminating about the little tidbits of info we got from the beginning and boom idea) And then turns out I was wrong. (You can laugh at my delusional detective skills)
And after meeting Sovereign and Westin I’m DEFINITELY going back to read about them.
