Tropes- Arranged Marriage 

Spice- 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Review 

Just when I think Ana’s books can’t get any better we get Dante… I loved the development between the main characters they hated each other at the start which we all love an enemies to lovers. I’m glad they didn’t just quickly become civil/friends I’m glad it went on for a while. 

This is an arranged marriage story where Dante gets backed into a corner with blackmail and is told he has to marry Vivian. She always knew an arranged marriage would happen but she thought maybe they’d fall in love or he would respect her. Let’s just Dante is none of that. 

Dante is Ruthless, cruel, he hold grudges and his word is final. Vivian is Sweet, caring, bold, fierce and won’t back down. 

I wish he had have grovelled a little more but also I think I’m comparing him a little to Alex. Although I do love how serious Dante was for Vivian his POV’s were he realised he was getting feelings then realising he loved her were *chefs kiss* 

The spicy scenes were amazing I do wish we got more though. The mouth on that man, I wish I could buy him on Amazon ngl. 

What I loved about this book - THE JEALOUSY. There is nothing hotter (in books) than a man who says he doesn't want her but then you get the “Get hands off my wife” I was MELTING. Any time I heard wife I was a puddle not gonna lie 😏.

The way Dante stands up for Vivian and makes her believe in herself and stand up for herself he really does care about her. 

Also the little cameos from Christian were amazing I really love that about Ana’s books we get to see other characters again. And also mentioning Bridget and Eldora being mentioned I loved it.

Review 

I can’t believe this is my first Emily Henry book I should’ve listened to everyone sooner and picked this up. Like it’s a BOOK about BOOKS it’s every book lovers dream. Getting to read about the process was so cool like reading about the editing process and how the editors see the books their editing.

No matter how much Nora and Charlie dislike each other they can’t stop bumping into each other. Like the sarcasm and banter between them had me laughing out loud at times. They read each other so well that they know exactly how to speak to each other I really liked that it showed how compatible they are it had a deeper connection. 

Also some of the conversations between Nora and Libby, Nora and Charlie were so raw with so much emotion, it really made me more attached to the characters. 

I really wanted to transport myself into Sunshine Falls I love a small town romance. The way it’s described but also it’s just envisioning these small towns I would love to go there. 

I loved Nora’s development through the book and how she went from being broken hearted and seeing all men as the same to finally being happy. 

Also I loved how Charlie went for this grump to actually being happy he was misunderstood at the start of the book and he has his reasons for being the way he is.

Review 
This book was a fun fluffy romance perfect for summer. I’m definitely about to become obsessed with this series I don’t know how I haven’t read this yet. Elsie Silvers writing is impeccable. 

This book is about Rhett who is a bull rider and he gets himself into a situation and needs help from his Agent. His Agent recommends his daughter Summer… babysits Rhett to make sure he is on his best behaviour. 

I’m definitely in my cowboy romance era now. I love how Summer just runs her mouth and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. The banter between Rhett and Summer was done so well I actually was sitting laughing out loud and kicking my feet. 

"Now, tell me honestly, Summer. If this were your last moment on earth, what would you want me to do?"
I don't even need to think about it. I know what I want from him.
"Ruin me."
"Good. I'm about fucking done being a gentleman with you. And the only thing I'm ruining you for is anyone else."

Also we can’t forgot about the dad’s in this book Kip and Harvey just melted my heart. They were so precious you can tell how much they love their families. 

I also love all of the side characters especially Jasper. Of course I also am in love with the brothers the way this family all have each others backs but also aren’t afraid to make fun of them. 

"And seeing her happy? Seeing her happy is
everything. And I'm happy too, because I get to be stuck in her orbit for the rest of my life."

I received this book as an ARC for my honest review. 

Review 

I have never read a story like this before the characters, the plot it was amazing and so different than anything I’ve read before. 

Vera’s journey was heart breaking she went through so much and faced a lot of grief. The book was only from her POV it made me feel more attached to her. I would have liked to get Hunter POV at some points. I like how story Vera is though. I could feel Vera and Hunters emotions through the screen j just wanted to hug them they go through so much in such little time. Although their character development was beautiful. I loved how they both helped each other heal.  

“I won’t let this medical condition define my life, but I also won’t compromise on my dreams of building a loving family.”

The MMC didn’t like her at the start but it’s under stable why he didn’t she just randomly came up to him in the street asking him to help her? Like girl? And the FMC was angry which is also understandable when we know her situation. Hunter always had a reason to say stuff to her but she always had an answer back I loved the banter. 

It was a fast paced read it was full of surprises I don’t know what to expect at times. With Hunter and Vera we got a different dynamic it was a love/heat relationship from the start. They tried to “fake marriage and not get feelings” 😏 and I loved it. 

“My love for you changed me,” he continues, his voice filled with emotion. “It made me braver and strong enough to heal and start over. My love for you is brave love, Vesta.”

I swooned when he massaged her feet because they were sore 🥺🥺. They way he learned Italian for her and also because it’s mother’s native language.

“How much Italian do you know?”“Just a little,” he admits” “Since when?” I ask curiously, moving closer to him.” “Since I found out it’s your favourite language”

Review 

Tierney has done it again, I’m so glad that we got more of an insight into the other characters. This book makes you forget that your reading and you feel like you’re apart of this world. 

I loved how Sapphire is getting revenge against everyone who has hurt her or anyone she cares about. I love how badass she is. 

Also the spicy scenes😏were great. I love how Tierney’s books have spice but also plot *chefs kiss* 👌We also got a scene similar to the haunted house I was so happy but a little disappointed we didn’t get a detailed version again. 

My heart broke for Price and Sapphire as they were having PTSD from the events that took place. Also the way the boys and Sapphire helped those poor girls it really pulled at my heart strings, They went through so much and they’re so young they were teaching them life skills and telling them about things they had no clue about 🥺.

Also Misha and Price finally realising they both like each other and Misha coming out to his dad really had me in my feels. I was swinging my feet I’m so proud of him. 

I have never cried so much this book really took me on a rollercoaster the ending OMG I cried my eyes out and of course we got another cliff hanger.

Review 

This book was so different from the other two in the series, the twist and turns I felt like I was sitting on the edge of my seat reading this. I knew going into it that it would be about the war I just didn’t realise it was the main focus. 

He said down the bond, “I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... The wait was worth it.”

I especially love Rhys and Feyre (also Cassian he is just hilarious) These characters became my family the group love and loyalty to The Night Court but also to Feyre. I really love all the characters in the inner circle they are EVERYTHING to me. 

“Be careful how you speak about my High Lady.”

I preferred ACOMAF although this was also an amazing book I just wish there was romance as there was in ACOMAF I do think that is because of the war happening. 

Some parts of this book had me sobbing and actually crying my eyes out. Other parts had me screaming and shaking my book. 

“Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you.”

Synopsis
He’s a male stripper working for the money and she shows up and he can’t take his eyes off her that is until she opens her mouth and shatters his illusion. But fate brings them back together, they make a pact to forget what happened between us. Being with her would cost him everything he had worked for. It's against the rules, and having her is almost impossible, but he can't help how he feels.

Review 
This was quick spicy novella, I love how it’s a dual POV I love reading from both perspectives. I loved how fact paced this novella was, It had me hooked from the start. There’s so many different tropes in this novella and also it’s under a 100 pages it’s such a short easy read. Also the spicy scenes are very details so if that isn’t something you enjoy this wouldn’t be for you. The chemistry between the couple THE  TENSION omg I loved it. 

I love Maria’s character development how she goes from this shy reserved girl to this strong confident women it was lovely to read. 
“That’s the spirit, sweetheart,” he says, his voice brimming with encouragement.

I also love Camilo and how he is head over heels for Maria from the moment he sets eyes on her. The way he brings her chocolate because he knows she loves it, had me kicking my feet and giggling. 🫶
“You’re as sweet as honey, so innocent but ready to be corrupted,”

I wish this went on longer I was sad to see it end I really enjoyed this novella. The ending was perfect though.
