⋆✴︎˚｡⋆  forced proximity ➺ second chaves ➺ the other woman ➺ reality TV ➺ Cruise ship setting ➺ slow burn ➺ forbidden ➺ high ➺ angst  ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I’m SO conflicted about this book. I did really enjoyed the chemistry and the push and pull between Finn and Ember, but I also did NOT enjoy the fact that Finn had a girlfriend for the MAJORITY of the book. It did really bug me. It made me feel guilty and icky for for being rooting for them and that was bringing me out of the story every time. But then the other woman drama is not much my thing in romance novels. I also…

I was really into it. It was giving an enemies to lovers vibes, the banter was good but that ended too soon. Jackson’s feelings developed too quickly and almost everything after that was just too sweet for me. I couldn’t see much of the tension therefore any chemistry between the characters either. I did really enjoy Jackson’s relationship with this sisters though and Delilah’s relationship with her grandfather. Those scenes were really heartfelt!…

I found the romance to be very drawn out without much direction, and I struggled to stay engaged throughout the story. The big turning point event after Noah disappearance was very emotional and tragic and it explains a lot about his decisions but it wasn’t enough to make me love this. Overall, this book has an incredible potential but got lost in its own length and repetition. ❝ We better get back,” said AJ, disappointed. “Dave will think I kidnapped you.”  “Dave wouldn’t think that,” said Noah, taking her trash and stacking it on top of his. “He knows I’d follow you anywhere.” He said it easily, and AJ pretended…

I loved the way this book kept me guessing! The suspense kept building, and every time I thought I had figured out who did it, the story proved me wrong. A great story with a twist you’ll never guess! Well worth your time. Two women haunted by their sisters’ unsolved disappearances band together in this captivating mystery from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Good People Here and host of the #1 true crime podcast Crime Junkie. Nicole “Nic” Monroe is in a rut. At twenty-four, she lives alone in a dinky apartment in her hometown of Mishawaka, Indiana, she’s just gotten a DWI, and she works the same dead-end job she’s…

͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Friendship, Rhode Island #3╰⪼ reads as standalone It pains me to say that I did not enjoy this book as much as I hoped for. I struggled to connect with the characters. The plot dragged out for too loooong. I really don’t think contemporary romances need more than 400 pages. The audiobook did nothing to enhance the story for me either. Alex Kydd’s voice didn’t work well for Jude. His voice was just annoying me so much! I’m very excited for Jamie and Ruth’s story though and will 100% be there for it.  Friendship, Rhode Island Series: ∗ Each book in this series features a different couple and…

͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Society of Villains #2╰⪼ read as standalone Let’s just say that I COULD NOT stand the FMC! Achilles loved her more than anything, he burned his body and disfigured his face just to save her, and all he received from this woman was betrayal and heartbreak. The threesome at the end??? I throughly hate her and Achilles should too! On the other hand, it was so easy to love Achilles…🥹3 stars for him and him only!  Society of Villains Series:  ∗ Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone.

I felt the first part of the book was VERY dragged out. Sidney was SO annoying. I could not stand her! Like ok we get it he cheated but you chose to stay with him so get over it or leave!!!!!!!!!! Ugh 🙄 However, the book got my attention at some point and I was interested.  There were a few twists, but it also ended on a low note for me. So not sure how I feel about this book or how to review without saying too much. Overall, it kept me entertained but it left me very underwhelmed. Specifically with the ending.  Thanks @alisonbookreviewer for this rec. I really appreciate…

͟͟͞͞➳❥ SERIES: Campus Diaries #4╰⪼ reads as standalone Such a hard book to rate. Some things I really really loved but other things really really annoyed me. Wyatt annoyed me with his hot and cold attitude. $h*t or get off the pot, dude! Blake also annoyed me every time she shrugged off Wyatt’s feelings. Girl, the guy is saying he loves you, does he need to get you the moon to validate his feelings??? You’re not 13, please! But the cherry of the cake was the 3rd act breakup. Was it really necessary after all the waiting to see these two together??? And did it need to last that long???????…

But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order. ∗ This book started off with a good pace and banter but it didn’t last long. As soon as the characters got together Wren and Axel lost some of their shine to me. I just didnt feel invested with them as in the beginning. The book became very repetitive. ❝ Isn’t it ironic? I found the love of my life when he’s been there the whole time, and I was too scared to see it?!❞ Wren…
