What a cute second chance story. Their past was just sad. Neither knew they were too young to handle what life was throwing at them. I loved the fact that they were forced to deal with the unresolved emotions & feelings from year long passed.

What a great story of second chances. Not just for Beat & Melody but for their parents. I love that both Beat & Melody kept a side of themselves hidden & that only they could see that side of each other.

30 years after the band broke up, their kids Beat & Melody are brought back together in an attempt to bring their parents back together by Christmas Eve.

Great story. Loved the dual POV and that thr flash backs told the story about how they ended up where they were. The way that their friendship started was so enduring. Plus add in all the stories he would tell, it just melted my heart.

That twist at the end I did not see coming. Ok parts of it I did see like the letters but not the reason. I also loved the key and everything it symbolized for them both. Can't wait for book 2!!

Such a cute story! Love the center for all the kids, supernatural or not. I also love that Vi was so invested in all the kids. Love the second chance angle and that Lincoln was finally able to tell Vi what happened all those years ago. It was a true coming of age story, if not a bit later in life. The triplets were hilarious as well as Vi's friends.

What a great story. Loved listening to the audible book with all the characters. It truly felt like a movie. The story itself was funny & heartwarming with mystery and a whole bunch of magic. The thing I really loved was the overall message. We all mess up in life. It's how we get back up & fix our mistakes that counts.

What a great ending to Rhea's story. Even with openings for further stories & a few loose ends, it settled the Zellus issue. I loved that throughout this book, Rhea learned so much about her mom and how much she actually was involved with her childhood. 

The fact that everyone came together to fight for their children and hopefully save others was admirable. Loved the Harmonia twist there and can't wait to read her story.

Great book about love & knowing you are worthy of it. The dedication really sucked into Jett & Ivaine's story. Jett has been so mistreated & misunderstood that believing he had a soul mate with what he thought was no soul took all the innocent magic Ivaine had.

I especially love Ivaine's sense of humor and the fact she can't verbally cuss. She was completely innocent but also fearless. She knew what she wanted and fought for it, inside & outside the bedroom.

Absolutely loved Liv & Fletcher's story. From the moment she learns he is back in town at her annual exam I knew I would love the comedy & banter. I not only laughed out loud throughout the book but the story also had me crying, swooning & fanning myself.

The love and care that Liv showed to Maya and how she made it her goal to bring her out of her angry shell and not just babysit but love life with her was heartwarming. Fletch was hurting and just as lost as Maya but being back in his hometown allowed him to remember who he was and who he wanted to be.

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.

I really enjoy how each book reveals another layer into the overall story and that all the past dragons & mates are featured as a part of the next mated couples story. I absolutely loved that Ky performed the Haka during the story and that his fellow blues did at the end.

I felt a connection with Jada from the beginning with trying to suppress her darker part of her soul. I think we all struggle with similar insecurities when faced with if we are worthy or not. Also, the need for sugar as a source I'd comfort really struck home for me.

What a great way to wrap up the series. Avery is such a fantastic, strong fmc. I love that both Avery and Wyatt had to learn to trust each other. They saw their errors and actively worked to fix them. 

This book was all about wrapping up the loose ends, but that didn't stop all the action and suspense. I do have to say one of my favorite parts was the chase in the woods. 🔥

What a great ending to this series. The way these 5 characters love each other and protect each other is perfection. I love that all their storylines were resolved and that we were able to see Pan's history. The way that Winnie changed these men for the better without meaning to is amazing. They wanted to be better for her and that is amazing. 

I love that the crocodile was instrumental in finding the answers Pan seeked. And I can not wait for his, Hooks & Wendy's story

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.

Sebastion and Holly's story was full of suspense, drama, and sexiness. Sebastion is so much like Adam and trying to protect everyone by misdirection. The fact that Sebastion fell for Holly years before everything happened was not lost on me. Their instant connection sparked not only the boardroom but also the bedroom. 

The more Holly saw beneath the tough armor of Sebastion, the harder it was to keep herself away. Helping Ola, Declan & Samuel showed the true heart of a protector.

The way I fell hard for Adam is...well, to be expected. I mean, come on! Irish accept, fighting, loyalty, and sex appeal. Who wouldn't fall for him?

The amount of guilt this man carries for his actions and the need to take care of everyone just makes me want to wrap him up in a big hug. Anna and Adam's chemistry is electrifying! The way they both took care of each other and tried to protect each other is relationship goals. 

I think one of my favorite things was the foundation and the center for those kids. Plus, Anna got to bring her love of horses to those kids.

Hearts Cove has become one of my favorite series!! It's funny, it's real-life situations, it's sexy & all the characters are hilarious.

I love that this series is a multiple pov book, but each book has its main storyline with the other POVs woven through to keep the other characters as relevant.

Wes & Simone I knew would be fire and water, and I was not disappointed. I do have to give Wes props for his restraint. We had a glimpse into Simone's past last book, and this one we get to peel back the layers of grump to discover who Wes is. I loved it.
