I liked this one a lot more than the first one. It felt more complete to me. I really liked the MCs and the evolution of their relationship. I love a bad ass FMC which is exactly what Brenna was. Excited for the next one.

This one was a bit confusing since there’s multiple plot points woven together but I think it sets it up well for the final book. Hopefully I get all the answers I want! Would definitely recommend this series

It was cute but I thought the character development was lacking. The MCs got together but we didn’t really get into the core of their conflict. I also felt like the ending left me wanting. Like what was next for the FMC? Did she figure herself out and what she wants for herself? Wish I knew. But overall, it was cute.

I love a good romance book. I liked this one. It was cute and made me smile. I wanted to give it 4 stars but sometimes plots where the MCs clearly are into each other but play dumb for the entirety of the book can be draining. I also felt like the ending was a little lackluster. The MMC was pretty swoon worthy through most of the book then the end was kind of so straightforward it seemed out of character. But it was a cute story for sure.
