Wake- Anyta Sunday

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC review 

 One thing i noticed when I was reading wake is that it didn’t pull that same intensity that Rock did for me but not because it was bad on contrary it was a good story, the characters, the writing all were there , but for me the flow of the story was different, I didn’t get that heart wrecking feeling Rock gave me, it was more less intense feeling which was interesting because I was ready for my heart to be torn. The story still messy, complicated and most of all emotional but in a less intense way. One thing that would have made story perfect is the dual POV we only get to experience one side and that’s something Rock lacked too I wanted to be in both MC’s head, while the story still enjoyable I did wish for that. 

If you love slow burn stories with just the right amount of angst this definitely for you.

Written in the stars( The Barracudas #3)- Christopher J. Brice

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 

This is the story of Ryan and Oliver who were childhood best friends but unfortunately lost touch when Ryan moved away but when you’re meant to be destiny will found a way and they found themselves in the same school years later and reconnect. 

If I could describe written in the stars it would be like eating a warm cinnamon roll each layer is just the right amount sweet and gooey, It was just the perfect read. I’ve been waiting to finally read Oliver story since he was first introduced, so obviously I was so excited for it. Can definitely confirm I was not disappointed. It was funny, sweet and couldn’t be perfect story for them their love was definitely written in the stars. Both characters were fantastic but for me Ryan was the character I just love him he’s so adorable and Oliver he was just perfect both were such a treat to read. Also if you been following the series we finally get the ice queen reveal and I gotta say my suspicions were correct can’t wait for the next book it will be juicy 🤗. 

If you love second chances story with great, banter, amazing group of friends and just all around sweet story this definitely for you.

Enemies to Lovers by Alisha Rai

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

This one was was so fun to read. I admit the title attracted me but then I read the blurb and that seal the deal; I mean a fake FBI agent and the daughter of criminals teaming up together what’s not to love. 

This a fast paced, funny but also romantic stor. It was so good I couldn’t put down. The characters were fantastic Sejal and Krish made a great pair, who had  amazing chemistry, the tension, the banter oh it was just perfect, the whole enemies to lovers trope was done so well.

Overall this a great romcom perfect fast paced but entraining read. Definitely recommend 

The incredible Ordinary- Briar Prescott

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

I’m always amazed whenever I read a new Briar book, I don’t how she does it but her books are like an addiction i can’t get enough , the story, the characters honestly just everything. For me is a gift to read a Briar book and the incredible ordinary is not the exception the story is anything but ordinary, it was an incredible and delightful read I loved every page of Milan & Jordan’s story. 
This is the story of two different men in different situations but brought together by destiny in a way that both needed, one more than the other. Is a slow burn but in a lighthearted way , the trope strangers/friends/to lovers was done in such way that work worked perfectly because you could feel the shift in their dynamic, the attraction, the confusion, the want I loved how it was written. One of the highlights of the story wasn’t just Milan & Jordan relationship but the family dynamics as a whole I love reading about them and how we should find the incredible on the ordinary and that ordinary can fantastic. 

Overall this one of my top reads of the year as soon I got it i couldn’t stop reading it was truly such a beautiful story. Can’t recommend enough get it!

Let Me show You- Alisha Williams

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

One of my favorite tropes is tutor/player so when I saw the blurb on my feed I needed to read it. Fast forward and have read it now and let just say it one of my favorites reads of this year. Cooper and Blake story exceeded my expectations, I loved everything about it. The story is a bit of slow burn but definitely worth and the spice is so good too. 
Overall a great story and characters. Definitely recommend it.

Hot Axe( Axford Brothers #2)- May Archer

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC review 

One of my favorite tropes is best friends to lovers add bi awakening and is just perfection. 

I love everything about this story is fun, spicy and sweet. I adored both Robbie and Ames. The love both have for each other is amazing I was so happy when Robbie finally realizes they
love he had for Ames wasn’t just a friend’s love but a deeper one. The story is low angst which I love usually with this kind of trope just might expect heartbreak but it wasn’t the case here and I loved that. It was the perfect lighthearted story I needed, definitely recommend it

Pretty (King’s heart #2)- L. Waltree

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

Pretty is the story of Javi and Declan is a second change romance. Ever since I read safe I was itching to have their story, the little we got was so intriguing so I was really excited when L. Waltree announced it.

Wow pretty was definitely a roller coaster of emotions, once I started I couldn’t put it down Javi and Declan story is heartbreaking but also heartwarming. The story is told in past and present timeline is dives into Javi and Declan friendship and eventual falling out, which I love because you get to see the full picture. I loved how Javi loved Declan but if I’m honest Declan was my favorite he was so strong and definitely deserved all the good things and love. 

Overall this is a an amazing story, is well paced, the characters are amazing and the plot keep you entertained, plus there’s some cameos from safe which i loved. Compared to safe i would say the angst was not as intense but still has a kick to it. If you enjoy Safe and love second chance romance definitely recommend reading it.
