4.0

okay i’m obsessed with this book omg. the way this had me in a chokehold from the start!! i think it may be my favourite in the series because it was INCREDIBLE. the age gap, the forced marriage, the enemies to lovers, this book had IT ALL!! new book husband unlocked because julian is a GOD. he had me weak like this man has a way with words because omg. AND THE GLASSES UGHHHH WEAKKKKKK. i loved yasmin, girl boss fr. i’m obsessed with this series, i love how each book actually has a good plot and it’s not just romance!! the only thing i would say about this book, and i this is sort of a recurring thing around this series, i feel as if the build up from enemies and then to lovers wasn’t done too well. like it felt very much rushed and one page they hated each other and the next they were in bed together. i felt as if there should of been more inner turmoil about the switch as again it just felt quite rushed and sudden. other than that i ate it up lol! onto crossed!!

loved it! i loved having a bad ass fmc and a mmc who couldn’t help but give her the control she wanted!! i really enjoyed the plot of this book, i have a feeling it will be one of my favourites in the series! the only thing i didn’t really like about this book was the ending, i felt like it was quite rushed and that the epilogue was very much needed at the end which sometimes isn’t the case! in general i love emily’s writing style and her books so it’s no surprise i enjoyed this and i can’t wait to read twisted next!!

3.75

ahhh this was such a nice read!! i rated it 3.75, just because i felt like some things were missing!! the overall plot was so good and i really enjoyed reading it!! it’s a short read aswell so it was nice and refreshing!! jack and beatrix were so cute! i love how they were inlove from the start, there was no 3rd act break up and they solved their problems without hurting each other!

3.5

lucky!!! this book was really good, i just felt like it was unnecessarily long and was a bit boring to get through at times. i really enjoyed it and the plot!! lucky and josie were really cute, i would say i felt like lucky being described as a ‘bad boy’ and then what he actually was like wasn’t very well done, it felt as if he was just a normal boy who was a bit naughty at times, not an actual bad boy if you get what i mean. i’m really glad i got round to reading this though because i enjoyed it a lot! i gave it 3.5 stars⭐️

i enjoyed this book but not as much as the first one i’d say! i felt like the whole getting olivia back from the manor was very rushed and disappointing, like wdym all of the build up for like 5 pages of actually getting her back?? anyway apart from that i really enjoyed getting to see malachi as a dad at the end because it really just showed the development his character had and how he changed!! i don’t want to say goodbye to these books just yet because i really enjoyed them but i can’t wait to read more dark romance in the future!!
