ARC REVIEW
So the earth is going extinct and her grandmother called Roxy to help bring her aunt back. She goes with 2 guys at the start and ends up with 4 guys and a young woman. Each individual brought something to their unique group.
I loved Wolf's compassionate nature, Mountain's caring, and the glue, Drake is super protective, Tom is subtle and quiet, Wren is sort of like a mother hen, and Roxy is the glue that bonds the group together. I loved how easygoing their group was and how everyone simultaneously slipped into their roles. It was a pretty smutty easy-going read, perfect for days you wanna relax and read a good smutty romance.

ARC REVIEW
This book gavebeauty&The beast vibes. Let's first start with the banter. Kara for one never backed down and matched every insult with one of her own; I loved her for having a backbone and never breaking despite the amount of time they tried to break her. Cade's accent makes a way funnier when reading his POV; his always surprised by what comes out of Kara's mouth and how she never takes any of his bullshit. There were times he got on my nerves and it's very obvious that their story isn't over yet with there being secrets his still harboring; besides it all it's an amazing, heart-wrenching love story.

Is it weird I'm crying. it's been 3 days of reading this series and saying goodbye to it feels bittersweet. I love the fact eden got her own family plus the epilogue 👀. I cant think of a more perfect way to end this book.

ARC REVIEW
I was actually skeptical about this one but honestly never judge a book by its cover . This book was so sweet and heartfelt like literally so Romantic. You can clearly feel how smitten Blake is with her and I loved how despite lexi having little self doubts , she never made it her whole personality. Blake also never made the fact he had a bad family stop him or used his trauma as an excuse;they were both two broken people trying their best to give eachother the love they both deserve.

I did not see that coming like at all. I really did like this book ; it was straightforward and simple. I loved how he wanted her to learn to want him not just need him , I feel she needed it ti mature a little.

I really enjoyed this. Despite the mental health being a sub plot it was still made priority.

I loved this book. it was like the perfect weekend read. I love how much it taught to embrace the dark twisted part of you; that dark twisted desires aren't all bad and if you believe in something you should stand firm and proud of it.

ARC REVIEW
In the beginning you can clearly see tyler is a good man like the type of man to lay down his life for you. Mia needed therapy and to leave her toxic environment and mother but its hard to leave someone thats bad for you but still does everything they can for you, thats who laura was to be honest: i fewl in a sick way she cared for mia just that she loved money way more . I loved pasha honestly he was the friend Mia never had always a quiet anchor like an elder brother. Mia acted immature at times and it pissed me off but i guess its understandable seeing as she was forced to grow up. I loved the fact then when she finally grew the courage to do something she went all out , there sometimes she irritated and annoyed the hell outta me but still.Overall pasha and tyler were my favorite characters.
