I cannot believe I chose and kept choosing this book. Keegan is wonderful to everyone except Breen and she just accepts it. And there is no romance between them. Just a mild attraction and sex. World building is lacking. Mfc falls flat. The plot is lost in retelling each of the 7 interesting scenes to every character in the valley. And it's slightly homophobic in that Keegan and the god got on page sex but Marco didn't. The god's wasn't even entirely consensual.
Slow. Nothing really happened in the story. Things happened around the characters. Some actions didn't make sense for the characters.
I was very interested in the d/s relationship in the book and was not disappointed. I wasn't sure how it would play out, but it was written beautifully. Stefan was a wonderful character with great depths. Jewel was strong, and I loved her dynamic with Stefan. This was such a great story.
It felt like the characters from orisha went to an alternate universe and that was suppose to be the ending. I have so many questions. Namely, where's Rowan? Also, wtf?
The relationship was fairly repetitive. The ending was lackluster. The spice and violence were on point.
Would've liked more detail. Too much conversation that felt bulky. Characters weren't developed well. Good football information/scenes. Rogan was a sweetheart.
Completely changed the hadesxpersepohne story and I hated that. Not a fan of the fmc. Loved the world building and challenges.
This book is so good. Step siblings aren't my favorite trope, but this is definitely my new favorite! Fran and Avery are dealing with some heavy thoughts a feelings in the perfect beach resort. I love reading this series in the middle of winter. It gives the perfect beach vibes on freezing days when I long for the sun. I love the story, but also loved seeing Dom and Reina again. Dom's outward persona is so different from what we saw in Secret Lover. But the best part of this book is the dressing room scene. IYKYK 🥵🥵🥵
The spice was amazing. The plot was lacking and predictable. Loved the backstory for cy and ember. Narrator was sooo good!!
She made a big deal about being plus size. I love a good plus size fmc. She said she wore a size 8. That is not plus size.
A few typos and odd tense changes pulled me out of the story, but I really loved it. Downloaded book 2 right away.
I didn't want to love Ben bc of his control issues. But how can I not love someone that will chase his girl down a beach and tackle her. Vic is probably my favorite heroine of this series so far (Reina was just too awesome.) she's sassy and flirty and we got to watch her grow so much. Ben definitely has the most personal development in this series. I'm not a huge horror fan, but I want a guy the will Nightmare on elm Street me. 😉🥵 If you're looking for fun, kinky, beach vibes, look no further!
This book is adorable and I love the slow burn between Carter and Destiny. It was a great origin story, taking us back to when they met. I am thrown by the fact that it doesn't answer any questions about the first cliffhanger, while still leaving so many unanswered. I kept expecting Destiny to wake up where the first book ended. I'm super excited to read the next book and find out where the story goes.
This book alone is worth five stars, but because it is book two and didn't really answer many questions about the first book, I'm giving it 4 stars. Excellent writing, storytelling, pacing. Just so many unanswered questions. But enough to keep me invested in the series.
I love this series. I was a little thrown with book 2, but it all makes sense now. The series up to this point flows so well. This is the perfect mix of sweet and dark, cowboy and mafia, romance and angst. I love this book so much. Great book! The cliffhanger got me, but I'm excited to see where this goes!
This story was so good. Hale and Remy were amazing. So much tension in the beginning. Loved the world building and can't wait for the next book!
Really enjoyed this. Wish there had been more about the news articles that were written.
Toxic masculinity from fmc. Mmc was pretty decent. I had to stop in ch 11 when she said “baby man” for the 592nd time. She idolized her toxic father and hurt people bc of him. And that was only in the first 11 chapters. 😢
Too many references to Josh being a switch. I love alpha Josh, but I'd also like to see him tied up squirming.
