I love the Brannon family so much, and was so happy to see that the rest of the brother's were getting their own books! 

Cor and Felix's book was the perfect start to this series. I'm such a sucker for fake dating romances, and I love a good ole queer awakening as well, so Heat Transfer was my bread and butter! 

Cor and Felix were absolutely precious! The chemistry between them was fantastic, I loved the ease of their friendship turned relationship, and just thought they worked together so well. 

Cannot wait for Declan's book next!

I’ll be honest, I downloaded this purely based on the cover without even reading the blurb, and really enjoyed this! It was smutty, fast paced, with a dash of drama, and was all around a good time!

Honestly, Shards of Desire had me at dragons, and needless to say I LOVED it 🤣

The banter and dynamic between Sia & Theo was 👌🏻 — the spice was fantastic too!

I thought I loved Eli and Colby, then Beau and Trevor stole my heart, but Harper and Jackson?! Hands down my favorite couple of the series. 

Jackson is an absolute dreamboat who was head over heels for Harper the moment he met him, and was so adorably determined to win him over no matter what. He took all of Harper’s snark and anger about his disorder in stride, and was an utter rock for him. 

& Harper… always so full of piss and vinegar, but was truly just a precious little angel baby underneath it all. Despite all his protesting, he really needed someone like Jackson to push past his walls and love him unconditionally no matter how much he fought against it. 

These two were just everything, and I loved their story so much!

As someone who suffers from terrible anxiety—some of it health related (just not on Xander’s level)—I have always felt like Z and I were kindred spirits, and just knew his story would hit me in the feels. 

I absolutely adore him and have loved him from the moment his character popped up in Christian’s book, and as sad as I am to see this series wrap up, I loved every minute of his story. 

He and Seven will forever be tied as my favorite Bertha boys, and I am so happy that both of them got the happy endings they deserved after everything they’ve been through. 

Derek could not have been a more perfect partner for Xander, and I loved the pacing of their friendship turned romance. He constantly pushed for Xander to work and do better on himself, and never once tried getting in the way of what Z has with Seven and Molly. 

& oh my gosh! That epilogue was perfect, and I could not want for more!
