Loathed Love- Krista & Becca Ritchie

ARC review 

I always envision Audrey as the one to close the cobalts empire series therefore when she was announced as the fourth book I was honestly surprised but excited.  

I had a lot of thoughts while reading Loathed Love but I will say that I did like the story it was not what I was expecting but spite of that it was an enjoyable story. Audrey was as such great character, I was excited to be in her head and for her to finally has that romance she longed for and Birdie was also amazing loved  him in SS and love him even more here. The relationship was amazing to read and the family dynamics were great as always. But I do still think Audrey should have been the last In my honest opinion she would have been perfect to close the series and then jump to the spin off the authors had planned, it would have also helped to build her character arc more, which I thought was rushed compared to other characters. I did enjoy parts of the story and the characters were amazing but unfortunately some plot points were lacking or not fully developed and that made the story feel incomplete while not my favorite I’m glad the authors are planning a second book for her hopefully by then her character is more flesh out.

Teammates to Lovers - Jenny Linsky

ARC Review 

The premise of the book caught my attention I never really read fanfic of IRL people  so I was excited to read about a book that deals with that kind of theme. 

 

This one was such a fun read, it was everything I expected a fluffy, lighthearted , fun kind of read with some good slow burn romance. I love both characters Will yearning was top tier and Theo was also amazing. My only complaints are that I needed more IRL moments and less fanfic writing but overall it was an enjoyable read and it seems it might become a series so can’t wait to dive in for more 

Guard Your Heart- Anna Rowan and Carla Brooks

ARC review 

One of my weaknesses is beautiful cover and this one is just too good! Thankfully the story was just as good. 

Guard your heart is the story of two tennis rivals that are suddenly force to paired together as a doubles team but what happens when beneath that conceal hostility something that neither saw coming happens them falling in love 

I say it before I’m a sucker for a good cover but love when the story also hits . Guard your heart was a nice surprise the book was completely different to what i thought, it was more emotional and a bit angsty both characters were amazing but flawed.  Both Theo and Will made love them and hate them at the same time, but the growth both had throughout the story was the highlight for me. 

While I did love the book and characters some parts of the story were rushed especially the ending it felt incomplete i needed some extra chapter or at least an epilogue. Also this a fade to black story but in my opinion i wouldn’t mind some spice 

Overall it was a good enjoyable read

Unroyally Yours-Emma Lord

 

 ARC Review 

Not gonna lie I was a bit skeptical about reading Unroyally Yours when I saw the cover i was like ugh love triangle not for me but it’s Emma Lord and I know when I need a good YA romance I can count on her. 

The story follows Rosie who is part of an elite security training program when she is sent to Marilova she finds out her mission is to protect Nick the lost heir but the problem is she already knows him add to her problems that Nick doesn’t want her protection. 

This was such good read as said before Emma Lord has a way to keep me addicted to her stories and characters and this was not the exception. Unroyally Yours was the perfect palate cleanser I need it, the  characters, the story kept  intrigued throughout the whole story and by end I just needed the second book already. I cannot wait for what else happens definitely recommend. 

Callous Shot- Becca Steele

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ARC Review 

Callous shot is the story of Daniel nephew of a crime boss and Lincoln son of a lawyer and nephew of a cop both had a past that involved their families and that plays a big part in their story but their also somewhat of a rivals they both love to antagonize each other but underneath that “hate” there is simmering chemistry ready to explore 

This was such a good story I was hooked from the beginning it definitely pull me out of my book slump the plot was nice, the banter was amazing and the spice was delicious and most of all the characters were both amazing, you could feel the chemistry brewing between Link and Dan , it was obvious to all but them how into each other they were so that was definitely funny to read. Overall this was such great read, I know this is an interconnected series of a mix of MF and MM but i didn’t feel lost or if I was missing something so that was great. Can’t wait for what else Becca is cooking with this series because I’m so intrigued about some characters

Trust Fall- Lynn Painter

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5  ARC Review 

Lynn painter has such a way to take me back to my teenage self and have me swooning over her stories and characters and Trust Fall was not the exception. 

Trust Fall tells the story of Julia who suddenly inherits a fortune and moves to New York but she didn’t count on meeting the great nephew of the man who left leave everything to her, who along with his family wants to get revenge and take everything back but the more time he spends with her the more he falls for her.

This was such a fun story both characters were amazing, I’ll admit it took time for me to warm up to Damion because he was honestly a bit of jerk at times but he won me over and loved that he was down bad for Julia the development of their relationship was one of my favorite moments of the story. Overall this a such a great story and one of my favorites YA of the year 

The New Place- Kit Oliver

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ARC Review 

One of my favorite stories is the place between i always find myself rereading it so when the author announced that we were getting a sequel I was over the roof with excitement. 

If you read the place in between then you know they fake date that ultimately became a reality, well now The New Place is them being happy and in a relationship but still having somewhat of a long distance relationship that is kind of being hard on Abbot but when an opportunity opens for him to teach close to Ned he immediately starts planning but he doesn’t count on Ned loosing his job and for the reappearance of someone of his past with a great opportunity for him and Ned but this time the will have to fake being engaged. 

The New Place was amazing loved both Ned and Abbot I would say both had a lot of to work on this time around we get to dive into Abbot family past and how that has affect him, and Ned still struggling with being a single father and being in debt when he finally thought things were settling down he gets the news that he will loose his job add the pressure he feels not being enough for Abbot so their journey wasn’t easy but I love that both find that happiness they deserve. Overall i love their story it was such a pleasure to get read about them again, my only complaint is the pacing some parts were rushed other parts were dragged so I would have love had the author kept a steady pace throughout the story but it was good regardless, if you love the first definitely read it.
