Our thoughts...

  

My emotions are still all over the place. I thought I was prepared for this story but I was wrong. I forgot how Aly Martinez packs all the punches and hits me with all the feels. I devoured Alone with You. This was a heartbreakingly beautiful story of two broken people finding their way again. Truett and Gwen were everything! Their story was everything and more. It will break you and slowly start to put you back together. You will easily become so invested in these characters and their story. Easily one of my top reads for 2024. Go in blind and enjoy the journey, it’s so worth it. Absolutely loved this book!

I did not think I would like this book as much as the others. I wasn’t sure about Rossi character but her sure proved me wrong. This book was everything I was hoping for and more. Rossi and Sofia had the best chemistry and banter. They were easy to love once you learned a little more about them.

I can read anything K. Bromberg writes. She is a go to author for me that never disappoints. Over the Limit  is book3 in the Full Throttle series. I really liked Lachlan and Blaire. Love it when our hero falls first. She is supposed to be off limits but that doesn’t stop him for pursuing her. The chemistry and steam is off the charts. Their story was perfection! Must read!

There were moments my heart broke for Bradley and Mackenzie. She went through a lot and Bradley just wants what the rest of his family has. These two had an instant connection and were perfect for each other. They have the greatest banter and make each other better, they complete each other. I really enjoyed this book and seeing all the characters from past books.  Must read!

I have been on a roll with amazing reads from great authors. I have been waiting on the next book in this series since I finished the first one. I adored the first book and was so excited to get Cameron’s story. I am a sucker for small town enemies to lovers romance. Add sports into the mix and I am one happy girl. That is a great combo for a good story. These two definitely don’t start off good and the instant bickering begins. Unstoppable Love was a fun read with great characters and plenty of witty banter and chemistry. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

What an emotional rollercoaster this book was in the best possible way. I still cannot stop thinking about this book. Jewel E. Ann is one of those authors I know can break my heart and then somehow put it back together by the end. I may not like how we got there but she always makes me happy by the end. I adore this authors work and will read anything she writes. I Thought of You is best to go in blind not really knowing anything. Make sure to have tissues on hand. Loved this book so much, MUST READ!

YES!!! This book was perfect and I cannot wait for Aires book!

Capri is all grown-up!! If you don’t know who Capri is, she’s Julian and Autumn’s daughter from Second Chance Contract.

Elias didn’t have the best upbringing, but he was determined to succeed. He wanted to be worthy of the girl he fell in love with. Succeed he did, they don’t call him “Sin” or “Devil in a suit” for nothing.🥰


I loved being able to check in on past characters that I love. However there is never enough Julian.

There was the perfect balance between angst, spice and love. These two truly are soulmates. I really hope to see more of them in Aires book.

Monica sure knows how to do alpha men!! This is a must read.
