I received this as an ARC and I really enjoyed it! It took me a little bit to adjust to the writing style but I fell for the characters! The way that Locke is only soft for Maren and shows her she’s worthy and confident, SWOON! And vice versa, Maren shows Locke that even in the darkest parts of his life, he is worth loving. I definitely recommend this book and can’t wait to read other books by Grace Pearce! Thank you so much for choosing me as an ARC reader!

I was lucky enough to get this book as an ARC. I’ve been following J.A. for some time now! I am so happy and so proud of you friend!!! Okay onto the review…

Wes and Joss are FIREEEEE - the slow burn x “just friends” to lovers x forced proximity is literally everything! The characters are witty and so well written, I feel like I was friends with them and watching their story in real time. Military and vets have a special place in my heart because I’m a military spouse and I feel like this was presented well and with respect. I loved seeing Wes and Joss grow throughout the story and appreciated the fade to black content - I needed a cleanser! I cannot wait to read more by J.A. Forde and I already have an idea who the next story will be 😏🤩

I received this an ARC from Alyssa Milani and am so thankful for the opportunity! 

Rockstar meets grumpy farmer - Adeleigh and Colter are a mix of grumpy, chaos and broken pasts that make them a perfect fit for each other. I really enjoyed that they were two broken souls who found each other, understood each other and fell in love. 

Alyssa’s writing style is quick to get through and easy to follow. I found myself wanting to keep reading even though I should be sleeping. I really enjoy dual POV and I feel like Alyssa captured both character’s POV really well! I would definitely recommend this book and I can’t wait to read more of Alyssa’s books! Thank you again for the opportunity!

I went in thinking this was going to be a thriller but I feel like it’s more of a tense mystery than thriller. I did not see the plot twists coming! I had an idea then it went totally left field. I really love when books prove me wrong and have a good twist I don’t see coming. I got emotional at times. This is my second book by Minka Kent and I will definitely continue to read more of her books!

Happy release day Bea! I am so thankful I was able to receive this as an ARC 🥰 I really enjoyed this book! The story was well developed and Bea’s writing style is so smooth, it was really easy to read this book quickly! Winnie is such a sweet, amazing girl who struggles with trauma and anxiety, I really appreciated this as I struggle with my mental health and trauma too. I love the way Rhett sees her and loves her through everything. It is so important to have a partner that helps you through your struggles. 

I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
