This!!!! It’s this novella that finally drove home to me that I love and live for the marriage in trouble, second chance, or marriage reconciliation trope!! The angst, drama, tension, history, and passion that happened in this novella was god tier!! I’m in love!

This story starts off with Kensa being fed up and tired with her marriage to Denver that she decides she ready to move forward with serving him divorce papers while he’s at work. As she walks into her condo after a long day at work she realizes that she’s not the only one in her home, Denver is there and he’s not taking no for an answer in ending their marriage.

It’s this level of toxicity, dedication, relentlessness, and crazy that gets me going!! Denver was my type of crazy and I was here for every minute of it! But what made this novella a five star for me was the true 180 both characters went through when it came to looking at their situation and problems from the other persons point of view. Communicate is keep in any relationship but having grace, understanding, patience, and compassion for the other person plays a huge part as well.

Chile!!! My level of irritation when I was listening to this book was through the roof. I see why the girlies don’t like this book in the series. Both characters got on my last nerve and I didn’t care one dirty cent about their annoying self centered immature a**es. The only reason I will continue this series is because of the mmc brother, Tristan Miles.

This book starts off with Emily flying to New York from her trip to London when something bizarre happens in the airport that resulted in her getting bumped up to first class. While she bordering the plane she gets seated next to a handsome man named J and they tease and flirt with each other throughout the entire flight. Unfortunately New York had some bad weather so Emily and J spent their stopover in Boston having a one night stand. A few years pass and Emily gets her dream job in New York and on her first day she finds out that her boss/ceo of the company is none other than J or Jameson Miles, the man from her one night stand.

Like I said, I didn’t like this book and honestly it’s probably because I’ve read too many books like this in high school and college that I’m all burnt out. The jokes and banter was not funny to me. The CEO a-hole character didn’t appeal to me and on top of that these two characters didn’t have any chemistry at all. He was rude and mean for no reason and she was insecure and weird to me. The whole book came off very childish, petty, and annoying.

This was my first time reading a book by this author and it was an interesting listen. I will be continuing the series to where the story goes because it does end on a cliffhanger.

This story starts off with Avalon “Ava” getting in a fight at her high school and when she’s dragged to the principal’s office, she finds out that, that was the last straw. With this being her fifth high school in four years, she will be kicked out and there isn’t another school in the city that will take her in. In the middle of her meeting with the principal, a strange lady walks in and offers Ava a chance to go to this private college where she can earn her high school credits and continue her higher education there if she wants too. Little does Ava know, her whole world is about to turn upside down when she steps foot on the Eastpoint University campus.

If you are looking for a book that has a lot of drama, tension, bullying, lies and secrets you will enjoy this crazy ride! Ava refuses to bend and break for anyone and the sick boys want to know just how far they can push her until she snaps. I’m very interested to see how the sick boys and Ava are truly connected to one another and what’s really at stake.

Yassssss!!!!! Y’all know I’m not a huge fan of friends to lovers romances but this right here! Trace!!! That fine black man can bend me over any flat surface and tell me to go play in traffic and I’ll go willingly! I don’t see how they were able to be friends for twenty years and not cross that line!

This story starts off right where the first one in the series ends but from two different characters point of views. You don’t have to read the first one before you read this one but I highly suggest you do. This story picks up the morning after Des’s bestfriend wedding but she’s not in bed alone. She’s naked in bed wearing a gorgeous wedding ring with her bestfriends little brother, Trace.

Trace made this book!!! This man knew what he wanted and went after it 100%. He had the patience of a saint and waited for Des to come around to the idea of them being together. Des kind of got on my nerves a little bit with how she just couldn’t fathom that they could be in a relationship after being friends for that many years but I guess that’s always my issue with friends to lovers. Someone always has to make a big deal over their friendship like thats not the bases for any relationship but Trace made up for all my irritation with her. Trace is pure gold!

@beingmrsjones !!!! What’s do I have to do to get you to print this series in one big book??? I need all three of these men on my shelf. NOW! Do you want my first born? And new car? A house? What do you need to make that happen because the way Blue has me in my feelings!!! I love him!!

This story picks up right where the second book leaves off but from a different persons pov. This story starts with Nessa getting ready to leave her place of business to meet up with her siblings when the man she’s been crushing over, Blue a MC president, comes in and inquire about a few bikes for his MC. Their chemistry is instantly off the charts and Blue is making his intentions known that he wants her. But is Nessa ready to take a real ride on the wild side?

I have never wanted to be someone’s ole lady until I read this book!! Blue got me ready to risk it all to see what’s it’s really like to be with a mc president. The chemistry, the control, the tension, the willingness Nessa had to try new things with Blue was top tier. I want to see so much more from these two characters.

Ya no. I will not be continuing on with this series. The first book was good and intriguing but this one was just drawn out for no reason and you really don’t get many answers to your questions by the end of the book so it ends on a cliffhanger that doesn’t make me want to read the next book or finish the series.

This story picks up right where the first one leaves off. Ava and the sick boys are trying to figure out who is want to kill her and who sold her out to be raped. While trying to figure out why Ava is so important to the sick boys fathers and their organization.

That “I’m not like other girls” is so strong and obnoxious in this book. Yes Ava has been through a lot and it’s hard for her to trust people but that “big bad persona” the author tried to make Avalon have just came off very cringe and annoying because she would mention it every chapter. I kind of started to like her relationship with Dean more in this book but you could tell they were a bunch of toxic kids that needs some deep therapy and not sex.

I was going to write a review for every single book in this series but I devoured these audiobooks so fast that I can’t even remember which part of the story goes with each book because it was a ride I didnt want to end and I just ate it up! So you can only imagine my distress and pain when I realized that the author of this series is the same person who write the mindf*ck series. Life is not fair!

This story starts off with a ghost like phantom girl (later in the book they give her the name Kayla) who has been following four men around for years. They can’t see or interact with her and doesn’t know she’s there but she can see and hear everything they do. One day while the guys are sleeping, a demon tries to attach them but Kayla ends up killing the demon which in turn allowes her to “level up” so the guys can finally see her. From that moment on, this story takes many twists and turns that brings Kayla and the four guys closer to each other and closer to finding out who they really are and what they mean to each other.

Words can’t even expressed the amount emotions this book made me feel. From the very beginning, Kayla (I’m not going to say what her real name is because that will give away a major plot point in the book) was this fun crazy blunt quirky and hilarious character that made me laugh and shake my head at the things that would come out of her mouth. And the insane part about it, once the guys realized that she was there with them everything just clicked. You could tell from the very beginning they were all meant to be together. The five of them go through some very tough situations in this series but the amount of love happiness irritation and pure joy Kayla brought to the guys life was magical to watch unfold!

This was my first time reading this author and I had an ok, pretty decent time reading this book. The story starts off very strong but towards the tail end of the middle of the book, it started to drag on and I felt myself losing interest in the book. So by the time I made it to the end, it felt rushed and some of the decisions the author made with the characters didn’t add up to where they were emotionally in the book.

This story starts off with Sutton being set up by her best friend on a blind date with a travel doctor. Little did she know the person she was supposed to be meeting for the date couldn’t make it so he asked his brother, Jacob to fill in for him. The date goes great and Jacob and Sutton hit it off but when she walks into work at her new job the follow week, she comes face to face with her new boss. Jacob the guy she had an amazing date with.

If you are a fan of Greys Anatomy, you will love this book. While reading this book I could clearly picture and match up the characters in the book that represented which character in the tv series. It was quirky funny and had me wanting to go watch Greys Anatomy all over again from the very beginning. Sutton and Meridith are one in the same and I loved that. But somewhere in the middle of the book it just lost me. For some reason I felt like the book needed more angst and drama between the two main characters for me to fully believe the reasons they couldn’t be together aside from them working together and didn’t want to be distracted from their goals. I just wanted more from these two so I couldn’t believe them wanting to get married in the end.

@authorrunyx !!!!! What did you put in this book?!? It has to be crack! I’ve never in my life taken a series so slow because I don’t want it to even end!! How am I supposed to go on when it’s over! I know within my heart that Tristian Cain owns every part of my soul but why do I have a feeling that @authorrunyx is going to make me fall in love with every mmc in this series to the point where I want them all!

This story starts exactly where the first one leaves off so please read the first book before this one. Morana and Tristian have agreed to make whatever that’s between them work without killing each other all while trying to get answers to who framed Tristian, who wants to kill Morana, why the Alliance split, and what happened to the girls all those years ago.

I don’t know how it was possible for a book to ripped my beating heart out my chest at the big reveal at the end just to turn around and put it back together in the closing pages because of the new found family and bond Tristian, Morana, and Dante created. How is it possible for a book to have me on the edge of my seat the entire time just to end with me having more questions at the end than when I started but leave me with a sense of peace that everything is going to be ok. My heart bleeds for Tristian and his love for Luna, for Morana and her complicated family, and Dante and his forever love Amara. I know I’m not ready for Dante and Amara’s book so I will live on this high of Tristian opening up and being vulnerable with Morana while loving her down within an inch of her life!
