Okay, I don’t think Kandi Steiner’s books are for me. I DNFed the first book, but decided to give the second one a try. Well, I couldn’t finish it either. I tried really hard, but I found myself never wanting to pick this book up. It has been over 3 days since I started reading it and I’m not even a quarter of the way through.
The characters were just so immature and whiny. The plot was also really boring. I couldn’t connect to anything honestly. So yeah I’m mad at myself for DNFing three books in a row...more

I’ve only read one Kandi Steiner book and that was back in 2020. I remember enjoying it and I have been seeing this series on my ŷ a lot so I decided to give the first book a try.
It was a pretty generic hockey romance book tbh. The romance was insta-lusty. However, my biggest issue was the leads. They were so annoying. Maven was so judgemental and rude, while Vince was a playboy man whore. I couldn’t get over how immature they were.
I’m DNFing this one, but I might check out the rest of the series though as I heard it gets better.
I’m honestly not sure whether Wild Eyes or Wild Side is my favourite at this point. This book was so much fun!

I initially wasn’t a fan of Tabitha. She was very combative and aggressive. It’s the opposite of who I am and how I handle tough situations so I wasn’t able to connect and relate to her. As the story progresses, I warmed up to her and understood where she was coming for. She was hurting and grieving and hurt people hurt others. By the end, I really came to respect and appreciate her as a character, especially when it came to her loyalty. She defended and protected her friends and family so fiercely. She is probably my favourite female lead of the series so far.
Meanwhile, I liked Rhys from the start. He would take all the hits and blows Tabitha threw his way and never retaliated back because he knew how much she was hurting already. He was just so kind and thoughtful. Also, his moments with Milo were absolutely heartwarming. I couldn’t get enough of their moments together as a family of three.
The plot was very addicting as well. I was flying through this book and I wanted to keep reading and find out how Tabitha and Rhys would get their HEA. And so, even though this book started off a bit rough for me, I really enjoyed it by the end and that’s mainly because of the amazing characters.
Also, the next book is ex-boyfriend’s dad?!? I don’t like that trope but in Elsie Silver we trust I guess?...more
This book is only around 240 pages, but it’s just not remotely interesting to me. Maybe I’ll revisit it in the future, but right now I’m so DNF at 37%

Based off the first chapter, I thought I would struggle with the FMC Skylar. She just seemed rude and self-centred. However, as the story went on, we learn that she was dealing with a lot of trauma and anxiety from her career and her parents (they absolutely suck...more
This was such a fun read and a great start to a brand new series by Sophie Lark.

This was such a fun read and a great start to a brand new series by Sophie Lark.
The FMC Sadie was such a bright and joyful character. She always had an optimistic view on things and a positive attitude. However, she struggled with self-confidence and was constantly doubting herself and her abilities. Her family is known for their artistic talents, but Sadie doesn’t shine as much as her sisters when it comes to that or anything really. She feels like there is nothing special about her. This changes when she marries the MMC Monroe. He was always there to uplift her and believe in her when no one else does. It was great to see her come into her own throughout the story.
I loved the relationship between Monroe and Sadie. They communicated so well and were a united front no matter what. They defended and protected each other, especially in front of their feuding families. They developed feelings rather fast, but I feel like this is a common thing in the author’s books so it didn’t bother me too much. Sadie and Monroe also had a good partnership and foundation as friends that made up for it.
I also really liked how different Sadie and Monroe’s siblings were. They all had very distinct personalities and the author sprinkled some hints here and there about some potential future storylines which makes me very excited. My only issue with the book is that everything was pretty smooth sailing. The leads are at risk of losing their family vineyard, but it didn’t come off as a big stake. I was also expecting more family drama than what we actually got. But maybe this will be explored in later books.
Overall, I had a great time with this book and would recommend checking it out, especially if you’re a fan of her Brutal Birthright series.
Thank you to NetGalley for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review!...more
