I mean I enjoyed the first book, but there was something about Everly and Max that just hooked me in right from the start.
I loved Max and Everly so much! They were great characters on their own, but together they just brought out the best in each other. It was beautiful how they understood each other so well and how they helped each other heal from their respective traumas. And their banter!! There were so flirty and the double meanings in everything they said had me dying.
My only complaint is that there were some slow parts in the second half of the story. But overall, I’m really enjoying this series and can’t wait to read the next one!...more

From the start, the chemistry was on fire between the two leadsI kind of picked this book on a whim and I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
From the start, the chemistry was on fire between the two leads, Josie and Wesley. Even though they just met, they were bantering like crazy and I was invested in them as a couple. Things also got really steamy and I’m not complaining.
I did feel that the writing was a tad cringey and juvenile at times, but it never annoyed me too much because it sort of added to the humour and romcom vibes the author was aiming for. The story did drag for me towards the end though. But besides that, I had a lot of fun with this book and plan on continuing the series....more

I really struggled with this book. From the snippets I’ve read, I had high hopes but this book ultimately ended up disappointing me.
The story moved so fast at the start that it made it hard for me to connect to the characters and to be invested in the plot. The whole book felt kind of superficial and I wanted some depth, especially from the characters. I also didn’t particularly like the leads. I found Lulu and Rafe to be very childish and annoying. I did not feel the chemistry between them.
I was not expecting a genre shift from Lynette Noni, but her contemporary romance Wandering Wild is just as good as her fantasy books.
I really liked hI was not expecting a genre shift from Lynette Noni, but her contemporary romance Wandering Wild is just as good as her fantasy books.
I really liked how the relationship developed between Charlie and Zander. The forced proximity worked very well to bring these two together. They comforted and protected each other while they were in the wilderness. They became allies against all the crazy things the show was making them do and learned to trust and open up their hearts again. I couldn’t get enough of them.
I also adored the friendship between Ember and Charlie. They were each other’s ride or die and I wished we got to see more of Ember in the book. She really only appears at the start and end of the book. Same thing with Zander’s friends as well.
I had a few issues with the book though. There were some slow sections and a few of the tasks felt a bit repetitive. The ending was also rushed and I would have wanted more pages to resolve certain character arcs. And where is my epilogue!? I wanted to see Zander and Charlie happy together as a couple after surviving in the wild and I didn’t get that.
But overall, I had a fun time reading this book and I would recommend if you’re looking for an adventure-filled romance.

It took me a while to get into the story as the writing and dialogue were a bit too quirky for me. It was like the author was trying very hard to make the inner monologue of the protagonist comedic, but it came off more annoying. The FMC Adriana and her brother William were also very immature and childish. I couldn’t stand them at times. The romance was between Adriana and Andrew was rushed as well. They developed feelings so fast.
However, once I hit the 50% mark, the story kind of clicked for me. Adriana and William became more bearable characters and I found myself rooting for the romance between Adriana and Andrew. It helped they had a lot of cute and steamy moments in the second half. Andrew was a great love interest. He was broody, sweet and protective. He was without a doubt my favourite character. The treasure hunting was also really interesting and probably the strongest part of the book for me. I was itching to see how everything would play out.
All in all, despite the bumpy start, I ended up having a lot of fun with this book. ...more

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with a “stop the wedding� trope, but it was so much fun. Of course, nothing can beat the iconic moment on Grey’s Anatomy, but this was close. There was just so much chaos and craziness going on and I absolutely loved it. I honestly couldn’t put the book down.
I knew going into this that there would be love at first sight, but it somehow didn’t feel that insta-lovey. I think it helped that the authors had Eloise and Connor acknowledge that they have this connection/spark between them, but then they slowly worked on building their friendship first before they gave into their feelings. It made the romance more believable and allowed for some angsty and tension filled moments.
I also absolutely loved Conor! He’s probably my favourite male lead of the series. He was the sweetest with how he always supported and uplifted Eloise. I adored how he helped her complete her 30 under 30 list as well and how he never judged her for the things she put on it because there were honestly some weird ones.
All in all, I had the best time reading this book and I’m so sad their story is over...more

The Christmas vibes were there, but I had trouble connecting with the characters and I couldn’t get behind the romance. There was something about the MMC Andrew that just rubbed me the wrong way. He seemed arrogant and I don’t think he really developed throughout the story. The reason for the third act breakup was also very messy and uncomfortable....more

This was probably my favourite of the three Christmas novellas the author has put out so far! It might have been short (which I appreciated because I could read it in between festive activities with my family) but the pacing was not rushed at all. It was just so much fun! I loved the banter and the chemistry between Tessa and Tre right from the start. All the adventures and detours they experienced while trying to get to Portland were entertaining as well. All in all, this was such a good read for the holiday season!...more

One of my issues with this book is that I didn’t like either of the leads. The FMC Gemma was too judgemental and annoying for my liking and the MMC Ben was rather rude. I did not feel the chemistry between them at all either. It also bothered me that they kissed twice while fake dating. I mean Gemma has a BOYFRIEND. He might not be the most attentive partner but that was still so wrong. There were just a few too many inappropriate moments between them that made me uncomfortable because again Gemma is NOT single.
I also went into this book expecting a fun romantic comedy, but the book was a bit depressing. Gemma’s family treats her like crap. They honestly bully her at times and she just takes it. It was hard to read. Overall, the book had a lot of tropes I typically enjoy, but the execution could have been better.

Pierce and Brynn had good chemistry and I liked how Pierce was the one chasing after Brynn and trying to get her to give their relationship another try. The flashbacks that the author weaved into the story were a nice touch too. We got to see how they first met and the magical few days they spent together before it eventually fell apart. I did not expect this to be a second chance romance between a student and her TA but I think the author did a good job of explaining why the relationship didn’t work years ago. I usually don’t vibe with the student/professor trope but it worked for me here.
The family banter was great and it was so cute to see all the traditions and games they had. It really put me in the festive mood. All in all, I liked this one a lot. I believe the author has written other Christmas novellas and I will definitely check them out this year or save them for next Christmas. ...more
