I thought it interesting that Henry chose Abbi from the beginning due to her video. What started as probably an attempt to damage control turned I to something else. Abbi is so sheltered and naive. She is a hard worker but is a bit hard to relate to for my taste.

Great story of mistaken identity & family loyalty. I love that Damian & Nicole met on the plane & were able to form a friendship before everything unfolded. Loyalty was the underlying theme of this story. Loyalty to his brother & loyalty her her mother. They both had to decide when to let themselves be more important & I'm glad they did it together.

Thrilling series. Couldn't put it down. Full of mystery & suspense. The chemistry between Isaac & Isabelle was off the charts even from the first moment they ran into each other. I didn't see the twist at the end of the series, but I am glad that it happened.

Forbidden love affair that neither person was looking for but couldn't stay away from. Loved the loyalty that was shown throughout the series by all the characters to Isaac & Isabelle.

This was such a great story. I fell for Cam during Joshua & Natasha's story. But I have to say that Ashley & Cameron's story was just perfection. From the way they met to the way they were brought back together.

Ashley is such a great mom, and to do it all while finishing her degree was inspiring. You could see from the very beginning just how Ashley affected Cameron. This book was full of ups & downs. From laughing to crying to steamy bedroom scenes, it truly had it all!!

Talk about opposites attract!! The banter between them was perfect and the way their relationship evolved was the epitome of the Fake Engagement trope. Jenn knocked this out of the park.

What a great conclusion to this series. Such a whirlwind love affair. I kind of felt sorry for Ava at the wedding, but Jesse made up for it. There were several storylines that could have all led to the ending, but I didn't see that twist coming. 

Paradise sounded like it's namesake. And Jesse running into his mum was just sad. Jesse needed to have closure and a chance to heal.  There were so many great potential side characters in this series!! So many opportunities for further stories.

Whew. What a whirlwind. They make each other crazy and their love is just off the charts. Poor Jesse has no idea how to process the feelings he has because he's never had them. His past was all about drinking and sex with no emotional ties. Now, he is having to maneuver through these feelings. 

Ava is still a bit naive when it comes to the sex club, but I love that she is making Jesse deal with the feelings and not just backing down. Sometimes, you can see the definite age gap with her brattiness and his experience. They have such explosive reactions to each other, both good and bad.

Wow, this was a great book from the beginning. The sexual tension between Jesse and Ava was palpable. Ava comes off a bit naive with her assumption that the Manor is a posh hotel.  Kate is a good friend, and even though she knows she should support Ava's decisions, she knows she needs to push her like a true friend would.

Jesse is the Alpha of Alphas. He is domineering and will not take no for an answer. Which, in Ava's case, is a good thing as she wants him but won't let herself. I'm curious to see where the Matt angle goes in the next book.

Layla & Leif are such a great couple. They both help balance each other. The connection between them was electric. I love that Layla helped Leif see he really wasn't happy with the life that he had been living. 

Layla is such a strong and independent woman. She is such a great example to her sister. Taking care of her sister & grandparents without thinking of herself is so selfless. She worked so hard to manage everything that it was so sweet to see her finally go after something for herself. But the best part was seeing Leif fight for Layla not just in words but in actions.

A complete comedy of errors. They way everything happens for Dani and Emil makes you want to believe in fate. But it also left them each open for doubt. Dani is such a strong woman to be able to leave her old life behind and protect herself. But that also leaves her lonely until Bonnie. 

The way that both Dani and Emil change for each other without really meaning to or noticing is sweet. Dani starts to trust again, and Emil opens himself up to love of not just Dani but his children, friends, and family.

It's such a great book. I absolutely love the strength that Farrah has with her children and herself. I love that she took what happened in her past and stood up for herself.

I love that Gage was not afraid of Farrah's children but what he felt he couldn't give them even though he is a billionaire. The dynamics with Gage's siblings are hilarious and love that even though there were hurt feelings, the siblings still stood with him. I really want a windmill tattoo now myself.

What a great story. I loved the deep dive into both Allie & Logan's childhood. I also loved that they were secretly pining for each other and masking it with their taunting. 

I loved that Allie was able to bring out the young boy she remembered in Logan. Also that she was able to see through his moody grumpiness to the real Logan. I know it's cliche, but I loved that Logan was able to bring safety and comfort to a very independent Allie. Sometimes, even the strongest women just need someone to hold them and let them know they are not fighting alone.

I love how Scott & Jas were just light-hearted, but when it came down to their fears and worries, they both were there for each other. Their banter & steamy sessions were off the charts in a fantastic way.

Great way to end this series. Full of suspense, twists, and turns. I knew Sean was the one to watch out for. He was so quiet, and you just knew he had layers hidden behind his playboy persona.

Finding out they met earlier and before the League really added depth to their relationship, I don’t think we would have gotten otherwise. 

Emilia was so hardened and trained to lead that watching her real feelings come through was perfect. You knew she had to have a back story full of pain and betrayal to be the harden woman she was. 

I loved how everything wrapped up and that twist at the end. It was a perfect finish to a great series.

Uncovering Alessia's story in prison was heart-wrenching. The friendship she formed was so tragically sad but also renewed my hope for humanity. Alessia is one strong woman and is badass.
