This book combines so many of my favorite elements; the romance, the mystery, the vibes.
It’s really an experience. I felt so connected to the characters & the settings. It feels familiar, I loved it so much. The unexpected twist really blew me away. I can usually see the ending before I get there but this had me guessing until the very end.
I can’t wait to read again knowing what I know now, and maybe while listening to the playlist Bre made on Spotify to accompany.

For a self published, debut novel, great work! Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, NOPE! I really enjoyed this book and it kept me guessing! I was able to connect with the characters and the settings so well! I found myself totally immersed in this story! And let me tell you, I audibly gasped when the twist came! What an absolutely unexpected turn of events!!!

I cannot wait to see where this author goes with her career!!!!

This book was nothing like I expected but in the best of ways. You think it is a romance but it is not in the way you think it is. Pick it up and let the journey begin because this one does not disappoint with the book shock at the end!

I couldn’t put this book down. I read it in just two days, which I have never done before. The story pulled me in so completely that I forgot where I was, it felt like I was physically in the story. The twists and turns kept me hooked from start to finish, and the final twist was absolutely BRILLIANT.

It had the perfect balance of steamy scenes and suspense. I was constantly asking myself “what’s going to happen next!?” I also loved that it was set in Cleveland, it added a fun, familiar touch that made it feel even more real.

An addictive, fast-paced read that I couldn’t stop thinking about long after I finished.

I couldn't put this book down! I enjoyed the twist the most! Definitely not something I would have ever guessed.

I've never read a book where I disliked a character so much (I believe that was the intention for that character).

The author did a great job creating the characters and their lives. She knew when to keep going with a scene and when to stop and move on.

Thanks for a great read!

Wow! what a ride! I really enjoyed the story. The entire novel brought out so many emotions, even tears towards the end. This was an amazing 1st novel and I hope Bre has more stories to share! Oh and most importantly...Cleveland Rocks!
