Another page turner. Great story line about loss & moving on with someone who you may not have thought possible. Sam fell first but Owen fell harder.

Having the 10 year anniversary of the failed op and then having more SEALS go missing all tied to Sam would be enough for most to crumble. It just shows how strong of a woman Sam is.

It's such a great story full of twists & turns!! The mystery & suspense were off the charts and kept me riveted to the book!! I did not see some of the twists coming. Cas is an alpha among alphas, and I love how he was so protective from the beginning of Birdie. I loved the banter between Cas & Chandler. The pain that Birdie suffered through & continued to survive was heartbreaking. Cas really helped bring her back to life.

Man, Candice is badass!! She is so strong & determined. Her friends are so loyal to her. She may not have magic, but yet again, she shows she is not powerless. Strength comes in many forms & she taps into those well.

Can we just talk about the moment in "her house". The long awaited claiming. The chemistry they have built through all three books, and though it was explicit, it was well done and just what this series needed.

The twists & turns that started in book  one continued all the way til the end of this book. I loved that I wasn't exactly sure how it would wrap up & I loved the good redemption storyline thrown in as well.

The underlying theme that I absolutely love is not to underestimate those whom you think are weak or have little power. The way Candice's friends have rallied & fought with her is inspiring. Loyalty & bravery is just as strong as magic.

Wow. What a fantastic story. From revenge to the paranormal hunger games, it was full of mystery, intrigue & magic. There were so many amazing details & imagery in this story from the magical archways to the pixie perches & so much more. 

Jarron is so misunderstood as a powerful prince. Candice is a disillusioned human wanting & needing power & revenge. Candice is super smart, and her thought process as well as potions talent is impressive. You could tell Jarron cared about Candice, but she just doesn't have the confidence in herself to see what he sees.

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.

What a great quick read. After everything that Anna & Adam went through in book one, you'd think they'd catch a break for their wedding. Nope.

Loved the Holly & Sebastion introduction and tension. Also introduced Jake & Alexa as well as Mario & Maggie to the Dublin world.

I could not put this book down. There were so many facets to this story that I loved the constant edge I felt during reading it. 

Flynn has always struck me as the quiet one of the group. Having to deal with his mother's declining health has taken a toll. 

All Carina wants to do is start over fresh, but life is conspiring against her. Leaving Michigan for Cradle Mountain after being falsely accused of stealing medication was an easy choice. But even though she was found innocent, the stigma followed her to her new town. Now, having to beg for her job, deal with a clingy ex from both her past & Flynn's and the twins next door trying to drive her from town she manages to prove herself and fall for the quiet hero.

What a great story. Blake & Willows' story started young. PPD is hard, and without a support system, it can be overwhelming. Essentially, being a single mother during that time shows how strong she is.

Blake knows he messed up before being captured, but he recognized that Willow needed space to learn to trust him & herself again. He is the biggest teddy bear and swoon worthy over how he treats both Willow & Mila.

The mystery storyline was fantastic. Blake & Willow were hit from two different sides. The introduction to Jackson, Declan & Cole at such a critical point was genius. I have to say Mila is one smart kiddo & I just loved her.

Another amazing story from Nyssa. We met Jason in the Project Arma series, and I knew I was gonna love him. (I have b/g twins, too). He is such a good guy, and you can tell he is just a fun-loving guy. 

Courtney is fun, bubbly & bright. Her crush on Jason was totally noticeable in Logan. But I love that she got all tongue tied. But I love that when he confronted her about her feelings, there was no miscommunication. She just told him the truth. Learning more about her backstory was interesting and led to her being the object of mystery/conflict.

Just when I think Nyssa Kathryn can not top her last book, she throws this amnesia trope with a twist into the mix. 

To say Tori is one bad ass woman is an understatement. After waking up with Amnesia, she finds a note from Oliver in her pocket along with lots of cash. Not knowing where to go or who to trust, she turns to Oliver & his team.

After an unforgettable night, Oliver believes he will never hear from Tori again. Imagine is surprise when she turns up in their free self-defense class. Only to discover she doesn't remember him quite like he had hoped. 

Uncovering who she is and why she showed up in Marble Falls with lots of cash is a mystery they unravel together. Only problem? All signs point to Project Arma's involvement.

Dr. Sage Porter wants to help Lexie and Asher, but she also has her own personal reasons for helping the team who is actively seeking to take down Project Arma. As time moves forward & her safety at risk, Sage has to trust the team, but when her family is involved, she has a hard time trusting they will be safe.

Such a great storyline and how their relationship evoles is great. Watching her struggle with what is morally & ethically right versus what she wants is heart-wrenching. Because what wouldn't we do for our loved ones?

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.

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!!

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.
