"Some loves are written in the stars. Others must be fought for across the sea "
Tropes:
•Grumpy x sunshine
•She falls first, he falls harder
•One cottage
•Found family (heavy on this one♡)
"And the little stone cottage held them all, tucked away from the world and the storm raging, as if fate itself had drawn a circle around them and whispered, 'Begin.' "

Home... it felt like home being back in the world of The Hexagons after almost an entire year. Gypsy Love, book 5 in the Hexagons series features Edward and Allannah's love story - the story I was waiting for🤭
Meet our mmc, Edward. Mr Prim and Proper was such a delight to read! After years (and I mean YEARS) of yearning for his story and messaging the author, Simi, for even the tiniest detail about him, all I can say with full confidence that Edward did NOT disappoint. Edward is the epitome of control. His life revolves around lists and plans. "You, brother, will be remembered for your lists," 🤣
Being in debt to the Duke of Ireland causes Edward to leave for Ireland and assist the Duke, all while putting his duty of finding a wife on hold, but fate had something up it's sleeve.
Allannah, or should I say Madds, our Irish princess, and the life of the forest barges into our story, capturing it and stealing the spotlight. It is decided then, before even Edward can come to terms with it, that this is Allannah's world and everyone else just lives in it🤭 Madds knows that Edward is her Prince Charming and she wastes no time in relaying the fact to him! As the pages turned and the story unfolded, these characters built a home in my heart and left me begging for more. Saying goodbye was the only downside to Gypsy Love!!
I loved Madds and Edward. Their bond was undeniable, and the romance was so complex and beautifully woven. Their story was just unique! The twists... my oh my, Red Raven... I see you👀🤭
Madds is FORMIDABLE!! I loved how she made Edward beg-love him, but he did deserve it!!! She was fierce and not a push-over in the least. "I do believe you owe me a dance" 🤣🤣 love her boldness!! Oh, and one of my favourites, "I do not invite danger / Danger simply enjoys my company." 🫶🏼🌸 But let's give some way to the best personality trait that Madds has... A SHOPPING ADDICTION!!!!!!!!❤️ " 'Why is the chair coming?' Edward asked, his voice thin with despair. 'It spoke to me,' Allannah replied sweetly, as if this explained everything. " Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, we can say that she is definitely a Madds🤭✨️
Simi brought back our Hexagon stars: George, Eva, Lizzy, James, Richard, Katya, and more!!! Seeing my babies as parents...🥹❤️ love!!!! The brotherhood was so wholesome to read about but the sisterhood... I felt like I've returned home after a long journey!! Simi writes "found family" like no other. The way the girls just supported Madds even before knowing her story... love them. A character that we meet even more in this book is the lovely Alex. I'll be honest, those first few pages shattered me🥹 I'm so excited but equally terrified for his book. He's been through so much. "Alex paused, his grin faltering for just a breath. It was not that he despised marriage; he simply could not abide the idea of branding a wife and children with the same scar he bore. Bastard. The word clung to him like a shadow, no matter how noble his deeds. Being the illegitimate son of a king was no badge of honor in his eyes. It was a weight he would not willingly pass on." 🥹 I can't wait for him to find love and realise that he is so cherished✨️
Now I leave the best for last (gasps!! Madds, didn't you say you loved Allannah the most?!?!)
I do...almost🤭 Our little angel, Bjorn, although maybe Edward wouldn't regard him as angelic (he totally does), is the star of the novel!! Bjorn, Allannah's little wolfhound, stole my heart! His dedicated missions, hunting, and giving Edward mini heart attacks were the cutest thing ever! I've always been a cat person, but I think I'm forever changed🤭 Madds also has a gorgeous horse!! Her family of pets makes this entire story so much more magical. A true princess indeed. A fairytale of its own!
If you're looking for a story in the lush woods of Ireland, or to waltz in the glimmering balls of the Royals, maybe some banter between lovers, a wolfhound to love, or a doting family that you'd want to remain with forever, then Gypsy Love is the novel for you.
Thank you, Simi, for the fabulous nickname, for my Edward's book, and for writing such a beautiful tale of love and trust❤️ I am utterly obsessed with Gypsy Love and am actively finding a way to frame the entire book🤣
I have told you this already, but GL is officially my favourite book of the series - something I didn't think would happen because of my severe love for LCE. You are a phenomenal writer, and the world is waiting for more from you! Never put down your pen - you deserve to be called an author. Your readers adore you, and you have created the most beautiful world to lose yourself in🌸 To many more pages and chapters🤍
[Alex, you're next😉]
