Break Points and Face Offs

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ever since Priestly was introduced I’ve been obsessed with him, I literally begged Emmery to give him a story and couldn’t have been happier when it was confirmed but what was more exciting was when I was lucky enough to beta read and let just say that if the rough draft was already good the final version is perfect 

Break Points and Face offs is the story of rivals to lovers Will and Priestley who both are competing for a prestigious intership that will be the key to their future in finance. Priestley has never lost and can’t afford to loose but  Will isn’t going down without a fight but what happens feelings start creeping in and the competition is not the most important thing anymore? 

The series just keeps getting better and better, I loved BPAFO! dare i say it’s my favorite so far the writing was great as always, the banter and the spice were so good, loved that Emmery is upping the spice a bit, low angst but still has that emotional pull and the characters were just fantastic. Will was a such a delight to read he was one of those characters that you instantly loved life hasn’t always been easy for him and that’s why he deserves all the happiness in the world, his pov is definitely one of my favorites of the entire series. And can’t forget Priestley If you been following the series then you already know Priestley as the uptight, bit assholish former frat president that made the lives of his frat brothers a little more intense in some ways but this time we get to peak inside his head and it was definitely a treat, as I said before his story was a need for me as soon as his character was introduced I knew there was something about him, he was more than just what others characters saw and I was not wrong, Priestley can definitely be intense  but he’s so much more than that, and is sad that his father can’t see how great of son he is and cares more about himself than the happiness of his children. I’m glad it he met Will because he was the balance he needed and the happiness he deserved.

ARC Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 

This was such a good story about two actors that are totally opposite of each that suddenly find themselves cast as the leads of a movie about the story of rockstar duo  that happen to be lovers I mean how can I not read it 

From the very beginning the story had me hooked and from what i thought was a simple fun story is so much more, is sweet, is spicy and it has drama on and off screen honestly everything worked perfectly and loved everything especially the main leads both Jace and Lennox chemistry was off the charts, their  connection and growth was such a delight to read it was definitely one of my favorite things In the story.

Overall this was such an enjoyable book , the characters are fantastic and the writing is so good that keeps you glued to the story. This is my first time reading Berlin Wick and will definitely  check out any more books of the author. 

The Storm- Briar Prescott

 ARC Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Briar has such a way captivated me with her words that any story she writes is an automatic read especially after the Island which is one of my most favorite stories ever so I had high hopes for The Storm because it was Indy’s story and glad to say once again she prove why she’s a master in crafting the most perfect and beautiful stories. 

The storm was such a surprise for me because although I can say I loved it 

it was not like that in the beginning honestly it was total opposite of that when I started the book, I had a hard time getting into the flow of the story especially during the first part I didn’t know which way Briar was headed with story and also the characters so I was a bit thrown off but I raise to the challenge and kept reading and I’m glad I did because one of reasons why I found myself challenged in the beginning was my experience with the characters, Indy was such a delight to read, to get to know him and read his thoughts by no means without layers and flaws but a character that like from the very first line but Nick was a whole different experience for me, he was such a complex character that evoke different emotions out me, throughout the story there were moments were I love him, hated him and wanted to slap him but by end he became one of my most favorite characters along with Indy, their story was beautiful, painful at times but well worth my headache. I’m so glad i didn’t give up and trusted the process because this truly was one of most incredible stories I’ve read, and I love when a story evokes different emotions out me because it means I’m not just enjoying reading it but that the words are speaking to me which is one of the reasons I love the Island because it evoke those kinds of feelings that made the story and the characters stay with me. 

Overall this is an incredible second chance story, if you love complex characters, a bit of miscommunication trope you will love the story and if you read the Island or didn’t because of the angst I feel that is less intense here so give it a try. Definitely recommend

Silver Sweet (Cobalt Empire #2) Krista & Becca Ritchie

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 🌹

It took me time to write this review because I honestly was left speechless but in the most amazing way both Tom and Phoenix were everything I hoped  and didn’t know I needed. Krista and Becca really outdid themselves Silver Sweet is one of my top reads of all time. 

This is the story of Tom Cobalt after his band implodes his only hope to reach his dream is none other that Phoenix St. Pierre the hot drummer but also problem child of the label, Together they will try to reach their dreams without burning all down that is. 

I love this book so much words failed me to truly describe how amazing it was as soon I got it I dive in and couldn’t put down I try to savor it as much as I could but both Tom and Phoenix story consume me. The banter, the angst, the push and pull, the chemistry it was all so good. From the very beginning when both first met they both felt admiration for each other but you could feel through the pages  the simmering chemistry between them it was like a magnetic connection that couldn’t stay away but both been burned before and their focus was the success of their band, those chapters were you could feel the tension and longing were such a delicious torture but when they finally give in, it was the most amazing moment I feel giddy just thinking about it. If  I’m not mistaken the authors describe their love as that of soulmates and and it couldn’t be a more perfect description for Phoenix and Tom they were meant to be together no one could have match the intensity of Tom better than Phoenix and vice versa both were meant to reach their dreams together and walk in life together. In a way the intensity of their love reminded me Marrow’s love but more softer and unique to them. 

One thing i noticed in the story is that I feel the romance was highlighted a bit more here than in Burn Bright but fear not we know that the core of the series is family and friendship dynamics and both authors balance that so well here that the romance,  the friendship, and siblings dynamics don’t feel overshadowed by each other so I loved that and happy to say we got so many amazing moments with the siblings both the Cobalt and the St. Pierre brothers. Honestly  the story was perfection as an OG PhoenixTom shipper I truly manifest their story, it did came with a bit of  twist but nonetheless a truly masterpiece by Becca and Krista. 

Overall I’m loving how the authors are shaping out the serie; The cobalt siblings have always had this mysterious aura around them so is fun to finally being able to be in their head and see them fall in love. I can’t wait for what’s coming next we got some big reveals that had my jaw on the floor so truly can’t wait for the next book and hopefully we get to know who’s 4th, 5th and 6th soon cause I’m desperate to know both Becca and Krista keep me addicted to their books.

The Villain’s Melody- Lola Malone

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lola has a way of of completely consumed you with her world building and characters and this is not the exception. 

The villain Melody tells the story of Rowan Ashford a new scholarship student that came to Caervast Academy not only to play music  but to also uncover what actually happened to his sister and Ciaran Virel a dangerous mafia heir who gets assigned o to watch him, but what happens when the assignment starts to become an all consuming obsession and need to protect is stronger than anything. 

This was such a good story, the  slow burn, the push and pull, the tension between Rowan and Ciaran add to that the suspense and mystery of Caervast Academy everything worked perfectly and made the story exciting and intriguing especially the last part of the book. Overall this was such good introduction to this new world Lola has created and can’t wait to hopefully find out more this new world has to offer, definitely recommend. 

Like Father Like Son- Daisy Jane

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

If there is one trope that is my kryptonite and will read no matter what is professor/ professor or professor/coach they’re such good tropes but done so rarely that I’m always on the hunt for those kind of stories and let me tell when I stumbled on post and saw the tropes I was sold on it before I even read the blurb and i don’t regret it one bit because Like Father Like Son is one of the best books I’ve ever read. 

When I say this is one of the best stories I’ve ever read I’m not kidding Cade and Noah are everything I love in a story, is well written, had me hooked from the very beginning and both characters were truly amazing. I love when an MC is down bad and Noah had that in spades he was so obsessed with Cade that you can feel it through the pages and the yearning oh my goodness it was delicious it was probably one of the highlights of the story, it was so beautifully written that you could feel the want, the longing from both characters; the author really outdid herself because it was top tier. 

Overall I can gush on and on about Like Father Like Son  but words can’t describe how much I love the story is now in my top novels and couples of all time I wish we could have gotten 3 more chapters and an extra epilogue because i truly did not want to let them go. If you love slow burn stories with the hottest yearning and longing there is, amazing characters and a beautiful written story please do yourself a favor and pick it up you won’t regret it. 

Bone Deep-JP Joseph

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

King of pain was one my favorite reads so I when I find out Ryan “Butters” and Spencer were next I was anxiously waiting for their story and let me tell you not only JP deliver he exceeded all my expectations Bone Deep was the perfect bite! 

Bone Deep was everything, JP really knows how deliver an amazing story. The writing, the characters, the chemistry, the push and pull of both Ryan and Spencer was done so perfectly I was hooked. I kid you not I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, It was emotional but also sweet and the spice was so delicious JP really knows how bring the heat with them, but what I really loved was how it was a story of overcoming fears, forgiving the past to heal those old wounds. Overall Bone deep was such an amazing addition to an amazing series and can’t wait for Jason and Deacon.
