It was too instalove, and the kind I don’t like at all. There is no real buildup in their “relationship” to convince me that they fell in love for a reason other than being physically attracted to each other. That many MANY spicy scenes didn’t helped much either, they felt more like fillers than a plus to the relationship. I, also, didn’t like how the third act conflict was handled. It only proved me how underdeveloped their relationship was. It was still enjoyable, but I’m taking a break…

From the world build to the relationship build there was a lot going on but it was still easy to follow. Carissa Broadbent writes worlds so vividly you can actually picture them. You can feel what the characters feel. Specially that now we got the POV of both main characters. My only criticism is that this was very long and I ended up skipping and skimming a few pages. But, overall, a brutal, beautiful, and completely worth Romantasy book.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in…

We can’t just fall apart like that. The world does not stop just so you can grieve. Life goes on. If you feel like you can’t go on with your life seek for a professional help.  “Just remember. Something good for you, something bad for you, and a change of scenery. That’s the winning formula.”…

Evelyn Hugo vibes ٭⊹•꧂ This was a book I was ridiculously excited to read, and I am truly heartbroken that I had to call time of death at 60% through of the audiobook. I kept zoning out, nothing in this story could hold my attention the more I tried. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I prefer reading something with a bit more romance or thrill to make it harder to put down. This really had neither. Everything was just SO bland. Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman…

I just don’t get the feels I like to feel when reading 3rd person romance books. Also, there is only one narrator for both characters povs —a male narrator, it was confusing. I was with the audiobook and it was hard to follow. I just didn’t know who was speaking at the time or whose thoughts were those. At some point I just stopped trying. I want to enjoy my time and not suffer. Next!  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the Rock Bottom Love Series. Each book…

Things happened very fast between the main characters, we didn’t have time to enjoy them falling in love. The spicy scenes could have used a bit more heat too and there was just room many for my liking. And, although, I liked how the author portrayed Bianca’s character, her backstory felt underdeveloped. However, the book was still an addictive read to me. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Perfectly Imperfect Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and…
