I absolutely loved the start to this series. I’ve been putting off reading this for so long because it’s so hyped up but I absolutely loved it. I don’t understand how people call this book spicy, to me there is very little spice but hopefully that improves as the series goes on..

I loved this book, my first mystery thriller and it was so good! Definitely a nice change from my usual genres I read, I couldn’t put it down. Will definitely be looking at more from Holly Jackson

Obsessed with anything Ana writes. Incredible. I loved this book, she wrote the enemies to lovers and forced proximity so well. I genuinely love a book where the female character develops so much in her confidence and becomes strong enough to fight for herself and speak her truth, it inspires me so much. Dante, I’m obsessed🤤

limo scene, I’ve said enough. There is just something about the way he fell for her, she consumed him in the end and he was possessive over her, which I love in a romance.

Another 5 star read from Ana Huang🫶🏻 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ spice level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This was a 5 star read for me simply because of the development of Sloane, there’s nothing more empowering and reflective when a female character becomes confident in herself and starts to find her voice☺️. Absolutely loved Jasper too

Kind of didn’t expect his character to have a dominance kink, that was an added bonus

. I really enjoyed this book, just like I have with all the chestnut springs books. I love all the little added bits about Harvey & the rest of the family we have grown to love.

Definitely the spiciest book of the series, but I loved that! It really fitted with the storyline and wasn’t too much.

. Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ spice level 🌶️🌶️🌶️
