This was an amazing read and it eased my stress away when I needed something to fresh my mind off. I binge this yesterday in one sitting, couldn't put it down! I was so into the mystery situation with the joggers going missing and tried to crack whoever was involved! Ok I'll be honest, I was all in on the romance too....the Williams brothers were so addicting...I couldn't choose right away who I liked...Logan then Harrison, back and forth but realizing my type of men is Harrison but the love triangle in this was just so alluring! I loved loved Julianne character development. She was from being closed off and uptight, to the confidence and admirable woman. She deeply cared about her friend she barely knew and her being all detective along with these two hotties was adventurous. The dynamtics were really what pulled me in...over all everything in this book was just perfect for me!
So many thoughts and feelings for this book I can't tell you how many times I've thought how to put this in a meaningful review...
This is a book that'll be close to my heart ❤ it's very raw and hellbent deep for me! I love reading both Grimm and Abigail's story. Growing up with a controlled lifestyle that's beyond your control and having a harsh past, reading it will you give you chill goosebumps!
So different yet so similar all around it. I loved how much mental health was protrayed in this because it's very relatable that I truly connected with Grimm! Anxiety was played hugely on both parties that you could feel it
This is a very sweet and delicate book, when I said delicate I mean it like you will feel scared for Alex or Ellie because both parties are on a thread of something coming towards the end or of something new. It's like walking on eggshells because its like you don't know what's gonna happen, Alex does something stupid or he does something right but then waiting for the shoe to drop. The romance was very sweet but heartbreaking at the same time. The plots that encountered not only with Alex but with Ellie was very unfortunate for both of them to ever have a happily ever after. I love the characters, especially Alex and Ellie.
I could relate to Alex in a way for not being the brightest and shitty timing because I'm that way too. I'm not bright but I can be smart not realizing it.
Ellie is a strong female character who stands her ground & stays true to herself. Family and tradition was highly mentioned to be the most important aspect in their lives which I love wholeheartedly!
The reason why I'm not giving it a high rating like 4 is because I had a hard time empathizing the romance with the main characters. I could understand partial of it but it was just not clicking to me, I don't find a flaw in the book whatsoever but I want to be honest with myself.
This book was just not for me but I'd highly still suggest to romance lovers, it's sweet and heartbreaking but its not sad either! Just saying your heart will be tugged maybe?
Thank you for A.S Kelly and your team for giving me this digital arc copy for an honest review!
Joey and Paige are on another new level of the hottest and steaming, passionate raw couple ever!
I really like how this story started out with Travis being caught in the loop with the mafia that got him penalized in his game.
Yet another amazing book in The Gods of the Gridiron series, to think book 2 was good, book 3 was even better.
It's been a hot minute since I read Thriller books, but this is much more of a horror book and it is eerily intense!
Ahh I'm so happy to be back into this series and the moment we all been waiting for
I want to say this is an amazing book, a slow-burning thriller with some suspense on edge moments. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy it as I expected to. I thought the beginning dragged abit for me and I thought the dialogues were abit snippy
This was a very enjoyable read, the prologue was instantly in action. The start of glimpse on our main character, Gemma.
She's a mother of three, and in need of a job to keep a roof over her head as well her kids. Husband and father gone, she her supporters, aka her best friends. One happens to help and lead her to a job. A job she was not expected, given contracts that she didn't read everything but is she willing to risk losing her heart again and give herself over or will her past creep up again that'll push away everything she'd worked so hard for.
This was a very subtle and sensual, gave off 50 shades of grey vibe without the bondage. At first there were so many times I wanted to shake Gemma or pour cold ice water over her because of her harsh mannerism..and her oblivious self. It took me awhile to like her...she got better towards the middle to the end. In all aspects though, I'd have to give her some understanding for how and why she is the way she is. Her and Kristoff, the chemistry was hit off instantly...like physically hot
Gian and Rhea's story is something to die for (really bad references/pun) I don't read this trope very often; mafia romance, enemies to lovers and arranged marriage.
Gian and Rhea never were all for love in their life, different situations of upbringing but somewhat of the same circumstances. This arranged marriage did just that but they didn't expect it to come at them. Yet attractions for each other were very strong and there from the moment they met.
Without giving away too much. Gian is a ruthless cold-blooded mob King. He does his dirty work and all in for La Famigila. He's not one to want to settle down or have a family. For that he has his reasoning and to cut love out of the equation too. He's a made man with a tough upbringing.
Rhea is a head-on sassy girl with a story of her own. She's been let down all her life by men that toss her around but she's determined to serve justice for those who's been in her place. This is where the arrangement came in, it held the bargains on both ends for them.

First and foremost I'd like to thank the author Natalia for giving me this opportunity to read Gian even though I have not read Gio or Gemma but I surely will because now I'm very curious of their story and how it became to be of what I've read in Gian.
Prepare your heart ladies because this series is bringing you five boys known as the Knights, five bad boys that you don't want to mess with. They rule the school and don't take no for an answer nor take shit from anyone!
I am beyond and utterly shocked by this revelation of this amazing book in The Hotel Series!
This book made me feel a lot of things, so much that I lost count of my reactions , especially the angst and feels. The plot twists had my jaw dropping to the floor and so immerse into how and why or what the hell?!
The perspectives; Harper, Will, and Ardyn were really fun to read. One of those felt like playing detective on them, plucking out what this person is about and what's their backstory. I will say there were some dramatic scenes where it could be fixed. Harper, the main character, is truly an angel, someone who you'd want as a best friend, a confidant who you can trust your life and secrets with. I loved her so much I was truly hoping she'd get her happy ending in this story.
The side characters were my favorites as well besides the main ones. They're witty and badass to have around; I can't wait/hope they will get their story as well. The mystery behind one is killing me to know their life and story before this came about.
I'd say this holds a bit of suspense if you squint very hard. The emotional and angst parts had me crying and choking up. The push and pull, the love triangle, growing up and trying to figure out what's happening between the main characters, and lastly but not least one main perspective felt raw and his journey to serving his way to life had me hit in the chest with feels and pain.
This debut book truly holds a lot of potential, maybe a few hiccups to fix but nonetheless I truly enjoyed this. There were even tropes I don't usually read as often but this book changed my mind; I want to read more like this. I highly recommend this. You won't be able to put it down and want to read to the very end.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to read this as an arc reader, like I've said before I can't wait to read more of your future work!!
I had so much feels for this book, it kept me hooked the plot and romance included. I wish it was a book series but the stand-alone was good enough for me! ^_^
Ahh I can't believe this is the end of the Sugarlake Series...the feeling of this book left me is bittersweet but so happy to see how all this played out in the end!
This is the book everyone, including myself, have been waiting for! This was literally the cherry on top for everything this series has come to when you and if you've read the other books.

We meet Lily once again from when she suddenly disappeared from book one; where has she been?! She has a past, something she could not outrun ever and has scars & secrets kept beneath the surface. (Had to put it there!)
We see her now as an adult, with a son who she dearly puts everything in for him before her. Lily hoped she wouldn't face her past or anyone for that matter, unfortunately it was wishful thinking. Her demons as well as people she ran from has come back, and she was held onto to come back to where it all began, Sugarlake, Tennessee.
Mason, he's an investigator, hired to find Lily and report back to Chase once she's been found. Yet he didn't do that, he was so allured to her, wondering why she ran away and the darkness she carries around herself. Desperate to know her story and before it was too late, love was blossoming.

Ah, going into this, I knew this was going to be heavy and it currently put me through a whirlwind of emotions and heartache! I would like to prewarn y'all that this book has tons of trigger warnings such as drug abuse and rape so read at your own risk!
Love was not supposed to happen especially for an investigator that's supposed to do his job but he couldn't help himself when it came to Lily Adams. If you've read Emily's other books you'd see what each book has in common, a forbidden/not supposed to happen love story but of course it happens anyways! Who wouldn't want to read such a thrilling trope
