Back tf up . when did this become a whore house! this was my first open relationship type of book and i won't like and say it wasn't hot and so beautiful.  it's definitely more smut than plot but it was really good . I can definately see Johnny and Nia happening and omg the hot smut scence , I kept fanning myself . one thing is for sure make sure your vibrator is charged up.

ARC REVIEW
Manuel, you sweet loving man. His love language is words of affirmation because honestly, he showers her with so much praise. This book was about 2 lost souls who have always been near but still so far away, with one being too in love but trust issues and the other feeling not worthy of love. They learn to love each other healthily and beautifully. Allie and Jake deserve the world and I'm so glad I got to see them again. This was a vacation type of book to get you in the groove for a vacation. I can't wait for you to fall in love with Manuel and his sunshine.

ARC REVIEW
I loved the mental health rep so much. Crow sees herself as invisible to the guys she has feelings for. when something pushes admission of feeling from all of them, tension sets loose. I loved how we got a backstory of each character, it made understanding why they thought or acted a certain way and how they got there super easy and understandable. It felt a little rushed in my opinion and felt more like it followed the characters and not the plot. it's still really good and I can't wait to see what's next.

This book is a treasure to me. You when you read a book that makes you feel so good inside this was it. it had everything :tension , banter , beautiful language ;everything I could possibly ask for in a book. I want nothing more than to go back and re read it again, despite just finishing the book. I can't wait for the next book this year and for more book because I just found a new favorite author.

This book was everything and more . It was about leaving your comfort zone and exploring outside of it. Taking a chance or a leap and taking risks.  Being yourself and not letting anyone tell you anything different.  From the moment I started you could tell Cade was inlove honestly Deckan is so blind :everyone saw it! I mean everyone. it was a beautiful book.

Explain how this book broke me and put me together again. Hallie has been through so much and omg those boys they love her so fiercely.  Lawson would do anything for her so would his sons. I love his family and how did I not see the fact he was the unsub. This book was exciting and perfect for getting out of a reading slump

when I saw this book I didn't think I would love it as Much as I did. it was original and I was unable to put the book down once I started it. I loved every moment of reading this. The relationships were built they tension was felt the mystery and secrets really leaves you at the edge of your seat . it was perfectly what I needed.
