Strong Heroine

Such a great book!! I knew that Nash & Lina were going to be a favorite of mine. She is such a strong, kick ass heroine, and he is "Studly Do Right". Need I say more?

Lina has fire for days, and it's exactly what Nash needs to pull himself out of the darkness that being shot sent him, too. Both of these characters had to at one time fight the darkness and choose to live, and I don't think Nash could have realized that without Lina's sassiness. 

After being shot, Nash can't remember what happened, and the dash cam is grainy and dark. Duncan Hugo has rabbited, but there is still danger and a different type of investigation going on. 

I really loved the storyline and how everything unfolded. I laughed, cried & and couldn't put it down. As always, I love Stef, Waylay, and Waylon & now throw Nolan in there. These side characters just totally make these books draw you in. I can not wait for Lucian and Sloane's book.

Enjoyable read. Interesting take on the shifter world. The idea that a Beta could turn to an Omega was new & interesting. Also that Alphas only mate with Omegas was new too. 

Being mated to 4 Alphas I knew this would be steamy, but it was super steamy with an in depth explanation & education into BDSM.

This was a great story and I love how their love story progressed through their friendship. The fact that they both didn't want to mess up or lose the friendship is everything!!

After finding out her fiancee was cheating on her the night before her wedding, Chloe leaves with her squad of girls & brother. Taking her girls on a getaway that should have been her honeymoon and meeting Noah was so perfect. 

Don't want to spoil the story, so all I'll say is man, that finish was exactly what I was hoping for!! I do love the friend circle that is so tightly woven amongst them. #squadgoals

What a great story of coming together after losing a loved one. This story has some really funny parts and really touching parts. 

Eloise comes to Oakley Island after her grandmother passes away and gets volun-told to stay and renovate the house as per gran's wishes. Elosie is accident prone, which makes for some hilarious situations.

Jake is the lawyer who was practically raised by Elosie's grandmother and is in charge of overseeing the will. As they both struggle with their loss, they find themselves constantly bickering & Jake fighting his attraction to a much younger Elosie until Jake gives into their chemistry.

Absolutely loved Luke & Scarlett's story! Watching as Scarlett grew & fought her fear, insecurity & trust issues was humbling. She may have started out as a victim, but seeing her grow into the confident fighter was amazing. 

Watching Luke help guide Scarlett & earn her trust was fantastic. He had his own personal struggles with walking a fine line, staying within the law. Seeing him question himself for possibly being like Marcus (old chief, Book 2) was proof he has a good heart.

I think my favorite part was the week they floated & camped. The imagery & detail was fantastic, plus I love the story about his Dad & best friend.

Oh, Jasper!! I absolutely love his quiet, troubled heart. The things a young boy had to deal with that he should never have to just makes my heart ache. He is an Eaton through and through. I just love that family and their loyalty to each other.

Sloane's story is also a sad one but for totally different reasons. It makes sense that the two broken kids find each other and form such a strong friendship. Getting a glimpse into their summers growing up together was so great. And that even though She had Violet & he had Beau, they were meant to be best friends.

I also love the cross-over appearance of the Gold Rush Ranch & the Love Shack!! You knew when they both gave in, their passion was going to be explosive!! All I'll say is, it's always the quiet ones!!

TW: Domestic Violence

Great story!! Very Romeo & Juliet meets Sons of Anarchy. I love the strength and sass that Haven has. Having grown up the only girl myself, it truly does make you tough. I love the relationships with her brothers and best friend. 

Hayes is so misunderstood, its tragic. He is so full of pain and guilt for what he had no control over, which is probably why he is so controlling. The way he immediately tries to protect Haven is so endearing. But you can't spot stubborn!!

I won some fun bookish mail from author Tia Lousie!! Reviews of these books have been posted. FEARLESS is the 1st in the Hamiltown Heroes series and Forbidden is book 4 in the same series. It's a great series!!

This book had it all. Love the fact that Beck fell first and loved Margo for so long. The Ex, Carter, was a real winner (enter sacarasim). The lengths Beck went to for Margo was what every girl dreams of. Their story from the beach was so perfect and the angst they both felt!! 🤌

Emma & Winnie definitely need their own stories too!! They were amazing for comedic relief. And the banter in the group chat along with the emails from Beck to Margo were spot on!!

After getting Margo to agree to pretend to be in engaged, Becks plan to win Margo over for real comes into play. Carter being the villain tries to destroy their real love affair.

What a follow up to Just Like Heaven. The things they had to go through to be together just broke my heart. Some psyche ward to arranged marriage poor Sutton had to walk through hell to get to Calder.

The genius behind Calders plan to get his girl back was 🤌. Roman I think was the true hero in that he made sure Calder didn't lose himself to the evil he was trying to get rid of. I would love to see a Roman and Aubrey book!!

The way these two characters talked about their love was really something I think every girl dreams about. And the way Trilina gave us an ending of all endings was magical!!

Oh my goodness. This book was start to finish thrilling, swoony, steamy & all kinds of wrong side of the tracks!!

Sutton falls for bad boy Calder, but soon they realize their families are trying to destroy each other.

The telling of them falling in love was perfect. I am so glad that the book built up their relationship and not skip the falling in love. And the ending is a twist I did not see coming!!

Oh, how I love Shaw & Presley. The fact that Shaw was looking for real and that Presley tried hard to not fall for him made the falling that much sweeter. And can we just talk about the picnic table scene for a minute? Holy smokes, that was hot.

I love the fact that Shaw was really concerned that he might cause hurt feelings over the movie and that he went extra lengths to trust Presley & that she finally opens up to him about her childhood.

The suspense and twist at the end was amazing, and the fact that the garage guys worked with Shaw and they accepted him into their family was perfect!! Also loved getting a glimpse into the future and their family.

What a great follow up to Steel King. I absolutely adore Genevieve & Isaiah. The fierce loyalty they showed each other and the strength they shared was so fantastic. 

I am so glad we got Isaiah's back story and then finding out what actually happened at the cabin. This story torn at my heart strings for everything they went through separately and together. But I am really glad that there was closure about Amina and the kidnapping.
