Oh my gods! This book made my stomach in knots. A rollercoaster high fantasy ride. This book encompassed all my favorite tropes in one book. It has academy, dragons, high fantasy. It was epic. Absolutely loved it! Start to finish was just amazing. I have no words it was that awesome.

I need more of this couple! I loved the healing Hayden was able to give Audrey and the insta love and connection was amazing. In our girl’s fashion she’s amazing at writing alpha swoony men. I’m living for it. Blind date at a carnival is a new thing for me but I’m living for it.

Great conclusion to this series! I never thought we would get a third but we did. Catalina grew a backbone even stronger than before. Also Cole does have a soft spot and I’m glad that was able to shine. Nyx of course will always be mine. I loved this book so much and can’t wait to have a copy on my shelf. Perfect Halloween read so instead of going out getting candy. Run around a cemetery. The author makes it sound like that is more fun.

Yay for Adele’s story! Finn was just perfect. I loved both of them together and apart. The book at me laughing, crying and wanting me to throw it at the same time. Clive of course has to cause mayhem and lumberjack shenanigans have to make an appearance. This story was amazing and I can’t write a review long enough to do it justice. Enjoy the ride because you’ll need a seatbelt.

This book was fire. Absolute fire! The angst, the groveling and Ellie who is fierce as all get out. Irish made me swoon so hard. Once I got to a certain percentage of this book my day had been spoken for because it’s that amazing. Our girl did Irish justice and I love him. He was sheer perfection. The writing kept me on my toes. Absolutely loved it.

This book was amazing as usual in this author’s fashion. Ava was is an absolute queen and Tate may be my new STORM book boyfriend. He was groveling and loved with his whole heart. I read this book in a day because I couldn’t get enough. Well done and absolute perfection.

This was a cute laugh out loud romance my heart so needed. The miscommunication is what made this story and it’s not my favorite trope but this book really made me like it and did it well. Billionaire Pete, in my opinion, acting like a love struck teenager was the best. I related to Cara a lot because she is me. I’m clumsy, sometimes not all there and funny. She was very relatable. Loved this story and always look forward to these retellings.

This was such a bittersweet read. Madame was an amazing story of overcoming so much and finding redemption. Eden has always had my heart from the very first book. I admired her and this book just made me fall for her more. As always great writing and tears of sadness and happiness were falling from my face. SPC will always have a special place in my heart and the book community. I hope this isn’t a goodbye but see you later.

This book was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. It was action packed and amazing plot but it went through the highs and lows, good and bad about coming out. I found it very healing and just beautiful. Being a hockey romance was the icing on the cake. As always, love wins.

This story tugged at my heart strings. Seeing Adah’s story come full circle was absolutely beautiful. Joel was exactly what she needed when she needed him. He helped her heal and went at her pace and non-selfishly was willing to do that at her pace. It was a beautiful story of how much you think your broken, those pieces can be put together and made stronger. Loved this book so much!
