wow wow wow. this book was so good!!! for being shorter, i didn't expect it to be so plot heavy but i loved it????? like they have my heart forever!!!! serena was so adorable 😭 i also cried multiple times!!! brooke montgomery has become an autobuy author for me!!!
I read this book as an ARC but after it was already out. I did really like it, I got extremely attached to all of the men in Little Timber. I wanted to know so much about their backstories and their futures outside of the sober living home. I loved Madigan so much, I loved hearing about his past and why he acted the way he did. I honestly would have read it without any romance if I could've learned more about the men. I did still LOVE AShley, Maude Alice & Davis. The romance was still amazing but I really connected with Madigan & the men with Little Timber. I hope we see more of these characters in future books because I am so attached to them. I think the ending was a little rushed for me but that's also because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters at all. I love love love this book. It's on KU and it will be a reread for me probably next winter.
this took me a little bit to get into but the last bit of it was a rollercoaster & had me extremely hooked! i really did have such a good time reading this even if lexie pissed me off sometimes. rafael was the perfect protective man & the bit of his backstory we got broke my heart. 😭 i can't wait for the next one.
wow. this book was a rollercoaster of emotions. definitely check trigger warnings before reading.
Actually 3.5 stars, not 3.
I did enjoy this book. I loved the chemistry between Finn and Aiden right off the bat. I loved the small Aussie town aspect, I really am a sucker for small town romances. There were parts that I wasn't particularly a fan of, how Imogen treated Aiden and how Finn reacted without apologizing. But I did love the romance, I loved Tam and Adie so much. I think Finn and Aiden are so so cute. The ending was a little... eh for me. I didn't like how Dan showed up, but I'm glad there was a HEA nonetheless.
Okay, another amazing book in this series! I thought I loved Giovanni in book 1? Nope. Mikhail is perfection. I love him so much. But, I really do think Max will steal me from both of them with his book because I have such a soft spot for him. Anyways, about this book.. Mikhail was literally amazing without even trying sometimes. the fact that going down on a girl is too intimate for him but he went down on Sloane which he apparently hates & you know... is holding hostage?!?!? Absolutely crazy but wow. I will forever recommend this series to literally anyone and everyone.
I read this as an ARC and honestly, I enjoyed it. I really really loved all of the characters a lot. Gramps and Lola are so stinkin' adorable. Also... Daisy??? I'm a sucker for books with cute pets!! Scarlett honestly annoyed me a bit but I did love her and related to her heavily. Rowan is a serious dream, he is simply amazing. Like honestly, I love him so much. The ending made me so happy!!!
I wanted to say thank you to the author and Peachy Keenas for an ARC copy of this book!
It was a wild ride to say the least and it hit... very close to home in some aspects that made me so emotional but not in a bad way entirely!
I really enjoyed this. I think the spice was phenomenal, but it didn't like... “WOW” me if that makes sense. I'm still super excited to read more in the series and more of this authors work!
for starters, CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS. but this was an amazing book. i loved that it really has amazing mental health & trauma rep! sometimes it's hard to find mental health rep that actually is done good & relatable, but this was perfect. naya & grey's chemistry really stood out to me & they had me in a serious chokehold!!! i am SO excited for book 2!!!

i had a really good time reading this!! i loved the black cat x golden retriever dynamic between hailey and levi!! it was so so cute and reminded me a lot of my boyfriend & i at times!! also the mental health rep!!!!! her issues with abandonment hit HOME to me.
also... if you weren't sold on it already... it's a slow burn with no third act breakup
i don't care that it was so short... 5 stars. i loved this couple in book one and wanted their story sooo bad and then i finished the trilogy and found out they had a novella???? i RAN to find it. they're so stinkin' cute and it was nice to know why they were a little absent in some of the books.
i swear every book in this series is going to be 5 stars... i love luke and penny so much. this entire friend group is absolutely amazing. how they stepped up as a family to help luke when he needed it was so nice, ugh. i love them.
i thought light of christmas was the perfect christmas novella! it had the perfect mix of christmas vibes, plot and spice! i loved being back with grayson and logan even if it was only for a novella! it was the perfect cozy cabin vibes for a snowy day!!
check tws.
okay honestly i had no clue how this would end but i LOVED it??? like seriously!!! i can't wait to get the physical copy so i can annotate it! i don't want to say too much about it because i don't wanna spoil it or the first one but i am soooo curious about 2 characters!!!!
i absolutely loved this. it made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me feel a mountain of emotions (haha iykyk)! i loved the found family aspect between logan and grayson's family. i have a favorite brother and it MIGHT be bias because i'm also an *NYSNC babe, so i love noah a lot!
but the patience that grayson had with logan made me so unbelievably happy because it reminded me so much of my boyfriend. grayson is absolutely amazing & i will forever be in love with him.
the little twists at the end had me shook. i'm so so excited for book 2!!
i definitely recommend checking it out! it's on kindle unlimited. please check trigger warnings because it can get heavy!
what the f*ck was in this book? i DEVOURED it! i very quickly fell in love with not only ava and oakley but the entire friend group as a whole!! literally i need a million books on them!!! it's 4 am and i'm literally fighting my self control because rn... starting the next book > sleep
personally, this wasn't for me but that doesn't mean it's bad. i just didn't like the fmc at all. i loved the mmc and i was extremely invested in geoff and gretchen (i hope we get their story). however, i did love this town and the writing style so i will be reading more from this author!
Okay wow. I loved this book from start to finish. Ryder was so hot and had such a filthy mouth. I seriously loved all of the characters, well besides her mom obviously... Ryder is a SIMP and I ate it up so fast. I cannot wait to read more from Thalia, especially with these characters. Thalia is for sure a new auto buy author for me.
I loved how much Ryder genuinely cared for Ash. She really did need that in her life. They are truly made for one another & it shows. I genuinely feel so sad that I have to say goodbye to these characters for now. Ryder & Ash have my heart forever. One of my new favorite couples completely.
Kate is insufferable. She's so whiney but like... it makes it good. Whiney mcs are needed sometimes LMAO. I was almost upset when her date with Brad was ruined bc I kind of liked him even tho I knew I wasn't supposed to. But Lorenzo is soooo entitled and I want to know what he's up to. His ego is way too big. He says it's okay for her to date someone else, but he ruined her date??? Make it make sense , Lorenzo LMAO!! The cliffhangers have me in a CHOKEHOLD like I need the next one ASAP.
this took me a little bit to get into but the last bit of it was a rollercoaster & had me extremely hooked! i really did have such a good time reading this even if lexie pissed me off sometimes. rafael was the perfect protective man & the bit of his backstory we got broke my heart.
