**Review:**
I have mixed feelings about this series. While the books have potential, there are significant flaws that prevent me from giving them five stars.
First, both books end on cliffhangers, and there was a two-year gap between the release of the first and second books, with no information about a sequel. It’s frustrating to see no teasers or connections to the next installment—just random recommendations that don’t relate to the series at all.
I also discovered that these books have been copied on various foreign reading apps, which is how I initially found them. Navigating through their advertising has made me quite adept at locating the real books, but it’s a shame for many writers, especially with platforms like BookTok gaining popularity.
In terms of writing quality, I noticed choppy reading at times, with grammar errors and a lack of clarity. Some sections are overly detailed, while others provide insufficient context. It seems the writing could benefit from professional editing.
The heroine’s character is another issue; she’s meant to be strong, yet her childish and bratty behavior towards others undermines that portrayal.
**SPOILER ALERT:**
There are some discrepancies between the first and second books. In the second book, it’s mentioned that the hero has only called the heroine, Kendall, by her first name once. However, he actually says it multiple times in the first book, surprising her when he uses it again.
Additionally, while the hero states in the first book that his mother was pregnant when she was killed, Kendall expresses surprise about this detail in the second book, which feels inconsistent.
Overall, while I see promise in these stories, they need refinement and continuity to truly shine.
