ARC REVIEW
This book showed resiliance and strength of a woman . That your past dosent define you or limit you. Max not only rebuilt her life she got 3 hot as sin men who worship the ground she walks and are obsessed with her. I admire her strength and resilience honestly. Caine has serious daddy issues and needs to learn to share his toys honestly (his learning) i like the fact max dosent put with his shit and dishes it back to him. Drew seems like a sweet puppy till your in his head and then your like damn. Adam is quiet and a mystery not much know except from that damn snake. Each individually psychotic in their own obssesive way.

ARC REVIEW
I knew we were getting a plot twist ending but i didn’t expect that. This was them teclaiming back their power and putting and end to the years of torment. With the 4 boys backing calista up she continues down her part of vengeance crossing off more names on her list. One thong thos book will make you feel is pain , i could feel the pain:their pain through the pages. Their years of abuse and torment, their drug use and cali's mental health ; everything is hanging above their head until it becomes way too much for them.

This was a pretty short read which I loved. it went straight to the point which I guess is the insta love plot but despite still kept me entertained. I love the twin girls especially Isla , she's so fierce and protective while Bella is so sweet and a sunshine .Those girls are gonna rock the world one day.

welp that wasn't what I thought I was getting into. The way it shows each siblings life and a glimpse into their own books makes you wanna binge read the entire series. I loved how thoigh there's obvious tension it's not too mich of a slow burn. Davis is her anchor while she's the sunshine reminding him to live a little.

I loved this book. it was so sweet and cute and unbelievable really good. I never saw the actual murderer coming and was super shocked. I loved it so much. I feel Owen's trauma was overlooked a little but his still super sweet.

ARC REVIEW
I loved everything about this book. From the opening sentence till the end I never got bored . it had a gripping storyline and the fact there was so much communication between the main characters made it so much better . I loved the fact that Aj showed women in high places being bosses, it's something I always love to see. Ronan was actually mature for his age despite their age gap. I love the fact they never let issues fester or not talk about what their feeling especially since it's what made them hate eachother for a decade. Ronan was definately the one to be fully immersed while sha had reservations about the entire relationship. I feel the game was practically the catalyst and decade long tension. I love how this showed what a healthy relationship looks like and what a good partner looks like. I definately can't wait for the next book especially with that shocking ending.

ARC REVIEW
Where do I begin with my love for this book. I read this book in one sitting with how good it was. it wasn't just an friends to lovers ;it had built in tension she made it feel like had been reading the book since theyvwere in college, you could feel the tension. Delaney needs a fake husband and her best friend finds out and offers to get married to her one small problem his been inlove with her since forever;Between faking their love and hiding feelings while still being best friends the lines start to blur till it finally snaps but she's still coming to terms of her new found feelings or maybe the realization that she's always had feelings when a dinner with her parents causes him to confess his love for her to show their real, our best friends realize they've actually both fallen for eachother. I loved every couple she's written so far but honestly feel this was my favorite by far.
