Have tissues. You will need them. I don't want to say much other than this was profound. It's a beautifully told story of a beautiful woman and life.

I loved this book. It was a fun...no spice romance. The setting makes you want to find a tree house to vacation in or an A frame. Trent and Sydney were definitely a fun couple to read about. She's like the fun effervescent talkative type while he's Grumpy and shy.

This was such a unique book. I was intrigued by the story. Small town in Georgia with a troubled past. It's a true gothic story. I enjoyed it.

Loved this book! The new series is off to a great start. I fell in love with the Blackwell brothers. Also Birdie is the cutest kid. 

The story was a fun one. Loved the firefighter and teacher romance. Who doesn't love a firefighter??

This was a dark, shifter, why choose romance. It was a little odd for me. I think just too many tropes maybe. Not a bad book, just not a favorite.
