This was a great introduction to a new series that I will definitely be reading. I haven't read the 82nd Street Vandals yet, but I'm now curious and it's been added to my TBR. Because I was completely new, I did feel a little bit confused at some points, knowing that I would have a clearer picture if I'd read the other series first. But at the same time, it wasn't enough to make me not enjoy this novella or the characters at all. I'm very intrigued and will probably just continue this series and go back to the other once I've caught up.

This was a fantastic ending to the series. It was also almost the combined length of the first two books, so it was thicc!! But I'm not complaining... gimme more! As for the harem, the slow-build was frustrating but paid off in the end. I adore the little family they've created and would read many more epilogues. I hope they will all return in another series - I'd love to see Kayla's story play out, because I'm definitely going to miss Jungryuk!

Omg, I loved this one even more than the first!! This is definitely a “fast burn, slow build” why choose, in that this book is primarily focused on Eve and Rurik, with Abraxas being very much a minimally supporting character for the majority of the book. That said, I loved watching Eve fall in love with Rurik, and realize that she did. And I’m soooo looking forward to more of the sexy space-cowboy cop, Officer Hyt in the third book!!

I think this is now my fave from Sarah Blue. I love the “sweet” omegaverse with a touch of darker MC club themes. These men are truly “only sweet to her” types, and there’s no shortage of illegal and morally-gray happenings. But that’s what makes it that much better. And the moments we get with her men are just… ugh, the sweetest, I love them all.

This was such a cute and lighthearted romance! I’m a huge fan of Minotaurs, ever since Rourke (IYKYK), so that’s definitely why this one caught my eye. But as a new-to-me author, Lyonne Riley captured my attention and has been added to the list of authors I absolutely must read their entire backlist immediately!
Celeste and Theo are absolutely adorable… Theo has such amazing golden retriever energy, and Celeste is just so sweet and deserving of his affection and attention. They have such a sweet romance it’ll give you a toothache, in that way that you regret nothing and would do it again in a heartbeat.
But at the same time, the HEAT in this super sweet story is OFF. THE. CHARTS. Like, seriously… don’t be fooled by the cute cover - Theo is hiding some serious stuff under those cutoff shorts my friends… I mean, have you SEEN the thighs on that male?! But seriously… if you’re looking for something spicy and sweet at the same time, you’ve found it here!

This was a fantastic conclusion to the series. The angst was *chef's kiss* and the grovel was pretty darn good. I also love the epilogues - getting to see the future is my absolute favorite and this should be a requirement for romance, right alongside the HEA!
If you're a fan of football romance, why-choose, and a bit of angst and one stubborn broody guy... definitely pick this series up immediately!
