4.5 rounded up to 5. No major issues and I had a lovely fun time reading it. Didn’t even realize it was close to the end and then it ended.

I liked how Colin called her Min. I also like how he overcame his past trauma with her. I actually did enjoy the chapters about spindle cove sprinkled throughout too. The confessions by both of them were really sweet and Colin was a really nice guy despite his supposed rake past. The geology stuff and fossils was a cool topic and I liked the authors note mentioning the history behind that

I loved this book. I skipped the first in the series again which was a good idea bc I loved this so much and wouldn’t have experienced it if I didn’t do that. Colin and Minerva were so good together. I liked how Colin was determined to get her to the symposium and Minerva had an academic personality. They both helped each other grow and change for the better too.

4.5 rounded up to 5 because the bonus epilogue was so good and also to give the whole series (or really the three books I read) 5 stars too. Such a fun series and honestly the smut was a good level in all of them which was nice. Ugh that epilogue with all the kids and characters throughout the books was just perfect, I love epilogues like that

I also enjoyed the side characters showing up and the grandpa being close with Flynn through working at the stadium. The bookstore stuff was nice and I wish there was more about that. I liked ruby and had no idea she was connected to this series since I tried reading her book first.

I really had no issues with this book and I loved how Flynn enjoyed being a father figure for Greer and it never felt forced or out of place. I also like how he stayed for them and his family. That whole set of scenes was predictable but really cute. I also enjoyed Olivia, she was really a great mom and I like that she was a hard worker as well. The baseball stuff actually wasn’t bad either.

Solid 4 stars. I read it quick and it kept my attention for almost the entire book. Oh the walker graham stuff was a little unnecessary but it was a small part of the book so it was totally fine. Also enjoyed the Flynn mentions

Sabrina’s dance studio was a cool aspect of the book and I enjoyed the found family and side characters in this book as well. I liked Olivia and Greer a lot and am happy that Olivia is in the next book. I also liked how Sabrina’s parents welcomed archer and brogan into the family. A little more brogan Sabrina stuff probably could’ve been added since the sibling stuff was a big part of the story but that’s ok

I’m glad I’ve been enjoying this series bc I wanted more of Rebecca Jenshak to read. I really like archer and of course I like the sign language/deaf inclusion. Sabrina was a good character too. I like how she is Brogans sister and got welcomed so well into the group. I think the light disliking to friends to lovers was nice and didn’t feel too rushed or out of place.

I don’t remember much else but I know I had an enjoyable time reading and the fake dating thing was my main complaint. I enjoyed the secret sister stuff and the side characters. 3.5 rounded up to 4

I read this pretty quick which was nice. I finally decided to give this series another try since I couldn’t get into the first book when I read it initially, I decided to skip it and go to the second. That was a great idea. I like Brogan and London a lot. The fake dating was nice but my biggest gripe is that they started falling for each other too quickly.

3.5 rounded up to 4

Ugh 2 is too low but 3 feels too high. Wish I could keep it at 2.5. Will still stick with 3

A lot of the lore of the world didn’t make much sense and kinda felt jumbled together which is maybe just because the book is under 300 pages. I definitely thought I’d read this quicker considering the length. Just underwhelming and I don’t have many thoughts about the actual story. I do like the female main character. Honestly I think I’ll give this 2.5 rounded up to 3? Bc I was engaged mostly and did finish

This was interesting to say the least. I hated the writing for like 75% of the book because with was that overly descriptive, personifying everything kind of writing and it just didn’t need to be used that often. I did get used to it tho. The story was fine. I guess I kinda enjoyed the plot but didn’t want Kael to die and idk how I feel about the whole death is a person story line.

I enjoyed the found family and how we got to see a little more of the girls and guys from the previous books. I also liked Penny’s backstory and how she overcame that and the justice that was served. 4 stars

I enjoyed this more than the first two I think. I liked the animals aspect and how Penny and Gabe connected through the deal they made. I also liked how Penny and him explored with each other first and then that developed into more. I do wish there wasn’t the multiple times Gabe’s past ruined there connection, although those all recovered well so it worked out.

I really need to start reviewing right after I read. I liked Alexandra and her chase’s story. I liked Rosamund and Daisy. I think this one was just alright. I honestly can’t remember my issues with it but I’m pretty sure I was thinking about giving this 3 stars so that’s what I’ll give. I did like the astronomy part. I don’t think I loved chases backstory/issues but easy read and fun

I didn’t care for the whole monster of Mayfair thing or the third act breakup kinda thing. Although it did get resolved quickly. Didn’t care for the epilogue ending with them having sex, although it was done quite tastefully. 3 stars

This was overall just okay. I enjoyed the marriage of convenience and I liked Emma as a character. Ashbury was okay. I think his scars were interesting. I also enjoyed Emma’s friends but wanted more of that. The cat was fun. I kinda felt like some stuff just happened without explanation like why Emma became friends with the group of girls.

First two books were better. I kinda liked the concept with the letters and found family. But I didn’t really care for the plot. There wasn’t really anything going on except for the lying and learning to love one another or whatever. I wish we saw more with her illustrations and love of nature. I know I had other thoughts while reading but I forgot them by now. Decent but not great. I think 2.8 rounded up to 3

Forgot rating. Since I don’t remember much but I do know I enjoyed it, I’ll give 4 stars

I read this a lot earlier in the year. I remember liking it a lot. Didn’t technically finish bc I got bored in the epilogue, but definitely still counting it. This was such a fun and silly series

Good overall. Kinda wish Rafe and Clio’s relationship developed over a longer period bc it all happened across the week. I liked their relationship. I didn’t care too much for Daphne or teddy but phoebe and bruiser were fun. I want a book about phoebe now. I also liked how she got him a dog at the end. Honestly not a lot of thoughts. Easy and fun read, but nothing special. 4 stars

I do not remember how much I enjoyed this. I think it was a little boring and kinda didn’t have as much chemistry or whatever. Idk I don’t have many thoughts. 2.5 rounded up to 3

Fun concept and I like that they made the most of their situation with the stairs done. Everything progressed really quick though. I did think the stalker plot was interesting but a bit anticlimactic in its ending, which was pointed out. I did like the cameos with the characters from that other novella I read by her. 3.5 rounded down to 3

This one wasn’t very memorable and not as enjoyable as the others. Still a good listen I think. I like the concept of her kissing people and they fall in love with someone else but I don’t remember why that one guy was so special and didn’t have the same thing happen when they kissed. Anyways still easy to read/listen to. 2.5 rounded up to 3

This had a fun concept and I liked the childhood friends to lovers kinda aspect of it. A little bit more intriguing than some of the other novellas. 3.35 rounded down to 3

This was alright. The concept was kinda cool and I enjoyed them emailing back and forth and then eventually calling and then getting to meet. Nothing special tho and I had to come back to it bc it lost my attention a bit. Easy to listen to and a little fun. 3 stars
