Omgggg not me sobbing my eyes out at 8 in the morning when Muddy told her about her father carrying her mother to the Hot Springs every night leading up to her passing so that they could spend all the time together talking. 😭😭😭😭 “It was like they were renewing their vows…” 🫠

Oh that metaphor of “not checking the locks” despite being in a storm, when she used to double check all the doors herself before bed.

This one. This is the one. I did not think it could be possible but this series gets better with each installment. Holy stars… this one is my favorite for sure — hands down!

OMG, all these acts of service as lowkey foreplay is swoon worthy… this man!!! I did not think it was possible… will Maverick actually beat out both Atlas AND Declan as my favorite Steele brother?!

Just what I needed to get me through this long week!! I can’t WAIT to start!

Are you kidding me?! *sobbing* that scene of him singing a lullaby to Leo?! I am literally crying into my sandwich during my lunch break! 😭

I think this might be my favorite in the series and that’s after really liking “Tru Blue”. 😍

So, up until this point the stalker+killer hadn’t kidnapped anyone but escalated to snatching Lucy and killing a security guard in one fell swoop?? Also why was Lucy not wake up while being carried? Was she drugged? Knocked out? Chocked until she passed out? How come none of that was mentioned by the medical staff that checked her over? 🤔

Hmm, the dialogue is kinda stilted. It’s doesn’t feel very organic — like nobody really talks like this. 🥲

Mr. Piano man, sir… 😭 for whom do you play that love song for… 😭😭😭

Curious 🧐 For someone who reads and has read so many books, I’m surprised that so many of her widely used idioms are so misremembered 😅

Okay, I’m going in blind. Didn’t even read the blurb! How exciting 🤗

I was on my way to being understanding and sympathetic towards Callie… and then she had to just throw the whole “I don’t want to take this slow anymore” in Lewis’s face! WTACTUALF? Was it not her that said she wanted to figure out what she wanted from this relationship therefore the logical thing for him was to suggest taking it slow?! Now she’s mad again bc he’s upholding his end of the bargain?! 😑

I hate this… I hate all of this.

Wow… the high that I felt from the perfection that was “Skies of Caledonia” I now feel nothing but abject disappointment for this. I— how— Samantha Young made me love Callie for so many books but once I finally got to her story I absolutely can’t stand her. I’m trying so hard to be understanding of her plight but holy stars I want to scream at her! Frustrated — that is what she makes me feel now 😓

Awwww… poor Walker 😥 Thank gods they are talking! He totally needed to get this all off his chest…

Here we go again… I think we got another 6 star read on our hands. Back to back bangers! 🤩

Omg… I think this is gonna be a 6 star read.

Also, this is a prime example of why I hate the “brother’s best friend” trope. It feels outdated and super misogynistic. Bc 1) this trope is largely written as though the sister has no say in whom she gets to date. 2) why would you not want your sister to date your boy?? Are you saying you’re such a bad judge character that you would hang around with someone who would intentionally hurt your sister? 😓

Uh… hmm… idk how I feel about this MMC. He comes off immature, entitled, and not emotionally regulated. Yes, he is upset but his violent outburst seems like an overreaction. 😥 All I’ll say is, there is not enough story for me to feel as though he won’t take out his rage on the FMC if he doesn’t get his way.

I’m sobbing. Why is this meeting between Rachel and Wynter so flipping painful? Angst filled. Maybe because it’s tinged with hope…

I get where Rachel is coming from… that doesn’t mean I agree with it. This is a train wreck waiting to happen 😩

Letter from Bear… *sobbing my eyes out* 😭

Holy crap. I should have known. This is gonna be 6-star read.

CYAN MY BABY GIRL!! 😭😭😭😭 OMFGGGG The trauma and hurt and shame this tiny human carries around with her! That she hides behind cheeky comebacks, cartwheels, skull crushing head butts, and a precocious spirit too wild to be tamed!

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK YES!!! Get her ass Kiera! I do not condone violence but she wasn’t a girl’s girl making that beatdown SO satisfying. 😌✨

“I love that you think I’m strong but I feel like an imposter. I wanted to talk to you about this not because I wanted you to sing my praises but because I wanted to understand why you feel the way you do about me. I don’t think I get it but maybe that’s okay. Maybe I’m not supposed to. Maybe love doesn’t always make sense.” *chef’s kiss* that character journey. Kiera my dear!

Holy crap. I should have known.

I have a feeling… this might be my first 6 star read of the year… 😏

Omgggg the way they huddled in the “bravery tent” together 😭😭😭 the strawberry necklace!! *sobs* my precious girls! So sweet, so earnest!! 😩 I love this scene 💕
