This is the first arc I have read by this author and will be continuing the series as it is published. I found the book to be well written and keep me interested the whole way through. It makes you wonder what else is out there or in space when an asteroid crashes and then a sickness seems to come fast and hard. It’s like nothing we have ever seen ....more

Fmc dreams of hI like that you saw people from other books mentioned. This book is a book of love , new chances and dreams realized after past hurts. Fmc dreams of having a family and wants to adopt as she herself was adopted. Her previous relationship didn’t work out and with no partner in sight she decides to do it on her own . Later things get complicated when her bookstores sales decline when a big name bookstore moves in . There is a lot of hurt from the past that needs to be worked on from both sides and their own personal dealings . These are dealt with in a healthy way with a sprinkling of faith...more

I think the narrators did a great job minus the French pronunciations were hard to understand. Not sure if done correctly or if wrong since I don’t know French I’m not judging. The mmc in this book is a walking green flag snd what other mmcs should aspire to be . He falls hard and fast. He is attentive and there to support when needed and anything you could imagine. This book had good representation from the PCOS to adoption . It was done really well and my heart hurt for Farrah and had been hurt in the past and was reluctant to trust but realize red flags from her ex she may have over looked but the new guy has none of those traits . This book is part of series but can be read as a standalone. Although I want to go read the others so if you don’t want to be hooked don’t read lol...more
Omg ! That cliffhanger I’m thankful next book isn’t far away. I read this book in audiobook and I really like the people who did the narration. ApprecOmg ! That cliffhanger I’m thankful next book isn’t far away. I read this book in audiobook and I really like the people who did the narration. Appreciate that they have different people for the characters because unless the narrator is able to do all the characters well the audiobook might not come out as well . They whole series we have this whole enemies to lovers vibe going on but in this one you see them get closer and think they are falling but are they really . Paedyn learns the truth of who she is and that family is sometimes chosen and not always by blood. There a twist and turns that will though you got a loop and events that may change the expected trajectory of the whole story. ...more

The fmc is convinced the mmc hates her and if course she moves in next door to him . She’s a baker and he works for the fbi . She has a series of mishaps and they grow closer together as he is there to help her. This is a clean romance so there is no swearing but I thought it was fun seeing All the unvented non swear words used such a holy jalapeño. The main character has a lack of self confidence and often feels like a burden . The author did a good job of representing mental health in the form of adhd in adult women . It was such a cute book and would read again . Thank you. Ooksirens for this arc in exchange for a review...more

This is sort of a loose retelling of Romeo and Juliet jusI loved this one and thankfully the next one is out soon due to the teaser in that epilogue. This is sort of a loose retelling of Romeo and Juliet just without the fatality. Rival famines hate each other due to something that happened in the past but things change darn the trust comes to light . I loved Carla and Eli . They had always loved each other and had that special connection but stayed apart due to hatred each family had for another. When is father has a health problem and he watches the kid we get to see a new side to him. The nurturing fathering type who takes time out of his day to spend with the kids and helps find lost toys. This is a swoony christian romance with tons of heart and family centered with tidbits from the other books sprinkled without. It’s light on the faith if you want one not one the heavy side but even if you’re not a believer you can read these stories. All the fall and sweetness without the on page spice ....more

It feels like a big family and close friends that care about you. I’ve learned a lot about cornhole besides the basics by reading these books . Merdy wants to be with hunter but refuses as she has a lot of debt behind her and doesn’t want to feel beholden to him. Hunter loves her and doesn’t care about the money but finds a way to I show her how much he cares. These books are quick reads with love and heart . They do have a hint of religion thrown in a way that’s easy even if you’re not a believer. I appreciate the was the autism was show and represented and the hard points at times without being overdone . I can’t wait for the next book...more

I thought it was well written but I didn’t really get into the book until around the 45% mark. The romance element in the book is more of a subplot , at least for now. That may change in the coming books. All the beginning chapters where bouncing around the different characters but once they were solidified I was able to understand the story more. I really want more of how the story started and what happened to Hedley and the usuru he sent to Seraphjna . This is a true slow burn with no kissing . There’s some flirtation throughout the book but that is where it ends. I’m also curious where the subplots of the other characters would go . ...more
