Unless something goes really wrong in the last 25% of the book, this is absolutely going to be one of my Top 3 reads in 2025. It’s so long but I’m loving it so much with the yearning and banters. Ugh I actually don’t want it to end.

I don’t know why I stopped at 18% back in 2024. Restarting after watching the TV show and re-read The Heated Rivalry. The adaptation is absolutely 10/10 perfection with how true it’s staying to the book + Hudson and Connor as the leads.

Heard about this for the longest time and finally decided to read it after finishing The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy. Five-star so far even though it’s a fanfic. The writing and humor are both on point. Honestly this is better than her trad published book.

Trying it again with audiobook. It’s getting cute and I’m enjoying the banters.

So good

🤩Here I go

So far so good. I'm not sure why I never read the first book in the Gold Rush Ranch series. I haven't been able to finish Wild Side or start Wild Card. The Gold Rush Ranch and Chestnut Springs hit differently and are much more my vibe. Maybe I'll try to finish the Rose Hill series again after listening to this.

Fun read so far. No idea where this is going but I’m enjoying it.

Been in a slump lately and have been doing mostly comfort re-reads. Decided to get started on this one and it's way more fun than I expected.

I’m enjoying all the in depth conversations, both between Alice and Hayden, and Alice and Margaret. Like, you can feel and see why Alice and Hayden are falling for each other. As much as I don’t mind insta-love, this is also nice.

At 16%. It’s a little slow and library loan ran out. Will finish later.

Didn't get to finish before it was returned to library and have to wait another three weeks to borrow again. I think Holly Jackson is doing a good job with tying everything back to the beginning. The series is well-plotted so far.

A bit slow to start but getting interesting

Well-paced and I love that Vanessa is the head of the mafia and he's just a middle school teacher. A refreshing dynamic. I didn't realize this is a debut and was looking for a back catalog of this author's book.

This is a little darker than I had expected.

Alright alright. It's picking up and getting interesting.

Julie Soto’s writing is good but this is moving a bit slow for me. Hoping it will pick up soon. Also not a huge fan of chapters referencing the past. Usually I don’t mind them but they’re not really working for me.

This is a fun one. Can't wait to finish work and read the rest.

So far so good. Good audiobook for running.

Really like the concept and the world-building. Still hate how long this book is but it’s interesting.

Definitely a slow burn and I'm getting impatient. My first Ruby Dixon book and it was a little confusing at first. But I think the author does a good job bringing the readers into the world as things are being explained to Faith so everyone is learning at the same time. Really wish this isn't 600+ pages but the premise looks good so I'm hopeful.

Loving it so far. I can't figure out Hark and he intrigues me so much. I think this is also the first time Ali Hazelwood has done a now-then style book. It doesn't jump back and forth too often and it's mostly set in the present time (at least for the first 25% of the book). Can't wait to finish work and read the rest of the book.

The first third/half is an easy read but feels like it drags on after that. So far the story is okay and just okay. I read the part where Ayana found out Vuk does crazy killer shit and I rolled my eyes hard because how could she not tell and be so naive. Anyway, the first three Kings of Sin books are exciting but I didn't feel that with the last book (Sloth) and I think Envy is going to end up being a 3-star.

Don't know what page I'm on as I'm listening to the audio with 39 minutes remaining. Started this almost two months ago as my commute audiobook. It was really good but I ran out of Spotify listening credit. Didn't pick it up again until this weekend. Anyway, loving it so far and this is my first B.K. Borison. Lucie's narrator is fabulous. I love her husky voice and it's perfect for Lucie.

70% through and did not expect this book to be this good based on the blurb. Ugh I don’t want it to end but also can’t put it down.
