I loved this beauty and the beast retelling. It was so creative and new. I loved that Yeva was a strong female who’s love for hunting shown through. Overall magical and fun.

I enjoyed this book. Peter wasn’t exactly how I expected but I still liked him. I loved Tiger lily and her bravery. Tink Narrating was something I didn’t expect to like but ended up loving. Overall I would recommend.

It was my least Favorite book by Lauren this far. It was slow and difficult to read and would have been over with better communication. Wouldn’t read again or Recommend.

Good book. It was hot, sexy and intense. Once I got into it I couldn’t put it down. Wendy was perfectly portrayed and James was exactly how I imagined. multiple twists that mad me gasp

It was so fluffy and the banter was perfect. They fought and they laughed. I honestly loved all of it. it was so warm like a summer day. The music made this book so good. I was constantly looking up the songs to listen while reading. I never wasn’t to leave Westport. Epilogue made me cry in the best way.

Out of this whole series this was my favorite one. I really connected with Bethany’s  struggle with anxiety and I loved the enemies to lovers romance. Overall I would read again it was heartfelt and it was warm and it was engaging. I gasped, teared up and laughed. Any Tessa Bailey book is worth a read.

Broken marriage and couples therapy. It was fine hot and dirty however again it was too possessive. I probably wouldn't read again but It was worth the time.
