YES, YES, YES! This was a classic Pippa sports romance, making me giddy and swoony and teary and just so, so happy! One where writing a review is going to be so hard! Addie and Duncan deserve all the love, I’d give it a 1000 stars if I could!

I love Addie’s strength, I love her independence, I love her passion, I love her flaws, I love her so much!

I love Duncan’s kindness, I love his patience, I love his openness about going to therapy, I love his determination, I love his love, I love him so much!

And their journey to their happy ending is just the best, the struggles, the banter, the tension between them the entire time the slow burn was burning, pure Pippa love!

A good read, but it stayed a bit too clinical for me to be pulled into the story fully.

It was so good to be back in Hickory Hills! Milo and Brenna are amazing, they’re just so good for each other, I love them. It was so much fun to have the cameos from everybody from the earlier books, but you can definitely read this as a standalone. I love everything Claire writes, even if it has tropes I’m not the biggest fan of. Age gap is one of them, but it’s so well done in this book!

I love this series so much! Each book is such a fun one, shenanigans all over with everybody, and with the perfect sprinkles of romance between Riley and Nick and their relationship. This book had a great mystery plot that kept me guessing until the end, filled with lots of crazy moments you can expect by now from a Riley Thorn book.

This book was so good! I love the fake dating trope, and this was just perfect. Will and Enzo are such great people, and they made me swoon so often! And also really craving ice cream, I wish I could visit Indigo Bay and get some at Cherry’s myself!

I love this whole series so much, and this was a perfect addition! It’s very steamy, but also filled with so much growth, acceptance, and learning to love yourself. Go read it!

A fun read, but a bit chaotic. So many characters flowing in and out of the story that I lost track a little bit.

This novella was such a great treat! I love Marsh and Levi so much, and we finally got their proper wedding! And it was all I could’ve asked for. Friends, family, love, even a bit of suspense with the case, it had it all!
