I love when these two talented ladies write together. They are some of my favorite authors and instant one clicks for me. I am so loving this series. This book pulled at my heartstrings in the best way. These ladies sure know how to tell a story. Owen and Devyn’s story was one I couldn’t put down. I just loved Owen, he’s the sweetest. These two had their ups and downs along the road but they always managed to be there each other. That’s one of the most important things in a relationship and these two had it all. Another great read by this awesome

duo. Must read!

It has been a while since I have picked up a book by Tijan and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. Pine River was everything I was hoping for and more. I always know when I pick up a book from this author and I am going to be glued to kindle. Well this book was no exception, I stayed up way later than normal because I couldn’t put the book down. 


I love the way Tijan tells a story and can make me feel like I am back in high school. She has a way of making invested in the characters and the story. I really enjoyed Scout and Ramsey’s story. I loved all the high school drama and just being back in a world created by this author.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love the Westcott family. Each book gets better and better.

We’ve heard about the Noah effect in the last two books. Now we get the Liv effect. Let me say, these two will melt your heart. 🥰

What starts as a first names only, no strings attached turn into something beyond either of their dreams (at least during that night in the Hampton).

I couldn’t put this book down. We get a glimpse into Harbor and Lark’s life along with Loch and Tuesday. Seriously please keep writing about this family!

Easton and some friends from college created an app for “hooking” up. You match with someone for a one night stand and then go your separate ways. No names are given to help keep one’s identity a secret. 


When he meets his hook up he matched with their connection is instant. He wasn’t expecting to want it to be more. With no way of finding her because he doesn’t know her real name. 


Years later she up and appears and things get interesting. Will these two still have that instant connection? 


Looking forward to the next book!

I just adore this series and the small town feel. Hunter was one character I was excited to read about. His story was so fun and so different than I expected. 


I loved the aspect of the reality dating show. Made me think of shows I’ve watched in the past and how invested I’d get in them. Hunter and Kipton were made for each other. The instant chemistry these two have and the friendship they form made me love them even more. 


Brave Enough was a fast paced, grab your attention read. Loved it!

Loved this book so much! The Love Plot was such a fun read. I enjoyed the characters and the banter. I loved Star and Rafe. 


The first time these two meet Rafe isn’t the nicest person. I loved their second encounter and Star’s free spirit. She kept me laughing. These two don’t have much in common so it was interesting watching the fake dating play out. 

These two had major chemistry and were so cute! 


I loved this book so much!
