This is so beautifully drawn. I'm embarrassed so say I haven't watched the movie yet. Though I have seen, and adore, Song of the Sea. There's just something so magical and beautiful about the way the artist creates the characters and scenery 🥰

This book has a lot of darker content [pulled from the authors website]: 

This book contains graphic violence and sexual content. It also contains situations which may be triggering to some readers, such as: dub/non con, breathplay/choking, autassassinophilia, kidnapping, profanity, gunplay, and somnophilia.

This was one of those books that had an intriguing video pop up on my FYP and I decided to take the dive. From the start I really didn't feel an emotional connection to Emily or Ruarc...though we do get dual POV, which gives us their inner thoughts...I just feel like they didn't get emotionally as deep as I would have liked. 

Even by the end I wasn't feeling like either character really had any deep or meaningful emotions, though they both said they did. Maybe if certain areas of the book had been drawn out more I would have felt more connected and like they were connected? I don't know.

Overall, though I didn't feel as connected as I would have liked...I did enjoy the story and look forward to reading more from the author. 

OMG start to finish this book had me on an emotional rollercoaster 😭 and things were revealed that had me reeling...

Originally I was going to stretch out my read of book 3 to last until I got my copy of book 4 in the mail...but I'm kind of glad I didn't. This book was so deep, amazing, and emotional that I legit sobbed reading most of it. By the time I got to the end I felt somewhat emotionally numb 😅 honestly the bonus chapter was such a smart idea because it helped me start feeling again. 🥹

 This was a fun and quick read. I'm definitely not an insta-romance girlie but this one didn't bother me too much lol

The connection felt real and them moving so fast did make perfect sense. Also I can't judge, after only 3 months of dating my husband and I started living together, engaged and married just over 2 years after meeting...and 16 year's later we're still going strong ^^

I did get the ick from some of the verbiage our leading man used before and during sexy time 😅 

 This was such a fun read! Ngl there was a lot of instant emotional shifts that didn't always feel believable but I loved the idea of these two too much to care. 🥰 

I feel like this should have been a full fleshed out novel rather than a novella...

With it's short length...I hated Jack the entire time and didn't see any inkling that he had any redeeming qualities. Also, imo, there was ZERO chemistry between Jack and Summer...and it made no sense for an HFN let alone a HEA. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Maybe it's just the demi in me but...neither of these characters made me want to root for them or care about them...and they didn't show me any level of care for each other that gave me the chemistry/emotional connection for this pairing to make sense. 

 A cute holiday novella that is easy to speed through 💜 

 This was a good read...like many holiday reads though it was emotionally heavy 😅 I'm really starting to believe there's no such thing as a light and fluffy holiday romance 🤔 at least every one that I've read one or both characters have a boat load of trauma...🤷🏽‍♀️


Anyways lol this was a good read though I did feel the pacing was a bit off...the ending especially [as in the last like two chapters and epilogue] felt very rushed where as the entire story as a whole felt slower paced...I guess I would have liked more time on the third act resolution.


***Also random pet peeve 😅 the cover model for out leading man is not giving the giant, retired football player, Samoan man I read. *** 

 OMG it only took a few pages and I was already kicking my feet! I absolutely adore Davina and can't wait to learn even more about her and see how her relationships with both Mr. Angelini and little Mikey develops. 🥰

I'm interested to see what possible historical connection Davina and the Angelini's have...to see why she's so resistant to telling Mr. Angelini her backstory. 🤔

This series looks like it's going to be amazing and I can't wait to read more volumes as they release!
