So, a few weeks ago I wasn’t in the mood and thought, blegh dnf! But I picked the story up yesterday and guess what, I kinda like it now.

‘It was like he was wearing a uniform that screamed “bodyguard”, which somehow, suited him.’ GIRL, he IS a bodyguard! You actually wrote his character as a bodyguard character?! Why makes these types of obvious statements?! Why not write: the way he wore that black pants, shows and sunglasses suited his bodyguard persona. That would be more accurate.

‘[…] looking like he hadn’t slept a wink. Seven in the morning, and there he was, looking fresh and wide-eyed […]’

Honey. When someone looks like he hasn’t slept a wink, they have bags under their eyes. They aren’t freshly showered and wide-eyed.

I’m already afraid for the future dnf. Why do authors spend pages repeating the same thing all while giving the FMC the character trait of being stupid and slow?

Well hello there, plottwist. I might call you a new favorite book. Fuck yeah 😎

Bit disappointed to be honest. Plot is mostly focused on lack of communication and it’s become a back and forth on deciding to ‘yes, i want a mate’ or ‘no, better not’. With some ‘he’s so hot, she’s so hot and we just can’t stop touching’ in between. Not sure if it’ll keep my attention until the end.

Will this become my new favorite series I stumbled upon on accident? 😮 This is waaaaay more entertaining than I initially thought it would be!

Currently reading this one again. Started on Ashes yesterday and nothing came back to me about Church. It does now I’m reading it, so I might start skimming, but for now it’s a re-read.

I’m not sure what’s going on in this book but I have to pause my reading. Someone I can’t seem to connect to either the story and the characters as much as I could in the first two books. Xaden definitely doesn’t feel like Xaden and there are parts I’m not even sure I understand what they’re talking about. There’s also much more inner dialogue that’s unnecessary imo. I’ll wait for a few weeks.

DNF. RH.

“It seems like he has a bit of a thing for me,and i try to shut it down whenever i can,finding excuses to not be alone with him.”
“There’s no denying he’s someone’s type,but I’m not really interested in doing anything like that with him.”
A few pages later…
“{…} I lean a little closer to Emmett.He stares at me for a second and i can see the moment when it clicks in his mind what I’m doing.”

Yes I did bawl my eyes out when he opened the bag and there were a bottle of lemon oil and a sparkly gold hair tie. Why does Leigh have the ability to make me cry over something so simple?

this book makes me feel like it should have a detailed map of the Ironside grounds, with details on buildings and stuff, multiple pictures/drawings of both clothes and shibari, vids of dance and singing. It’s like; the description in the book is a bit too much. It’s a lot of words saying a whole lotta nothing. While at other parts there’s a lot of tell instead of show.

One thing I’m not very fond of is authors describing all the clothes and hairstyles characters are wearing. Especially if it isn’t of importance for the story. It’s filler and it’s frustrating because in the next line I’ve already forgotten, especially when it’s a side character.

How does one go about farting or even masturbating if there are camera’s everywhere, even in their rooms? I’m mean, wth? o.0

Garrett Leigh books pull me in every time I need a distraction. Damnit, I love it but I need to sleep!

You know those books where you know, YOU KNOW, there’s a happy ending (I’ll kill if there’s not) but you still slowly feel your heart breaking, or someone slowly pulling your heart of your chest. Yes, it’s that kinda book.

Well hello there, honey-boo! People should try reading books instead of doing drugs, the highs can be so mighty! After lots and lots of time in a bookslump, I finally found one that kept my attention so much, time jumped from 1AM to 4AM in like, half an hour 😂 had to stop reading, because sleep, but damn 🥵 I’m actually quite anxious because it’s not an rh sooooo, how is this going to end?!?

The whole Cas is so beautiful people only see him and objectify go a bit beyond. I get attraction and maybe people looking twice; but come on, the way it is now (only 25% into the book) it starts to be annoying.

This book is becoming boring pretty fast. A lot of inner dialogue that’s unnecessary to the story. Repetition because of a change in pov while we wouldnt miss out if that repetition was skipped and: “i didn’t care about the layout, […] Not what his home said about him. At least he had more personality here. Dark, warm tones …” you JUST SAID the fmc didn’t care, why would you describe it?!

This is one good motherfucker. Been highly emotional throughout the read and love that Cara Dee has written this with a topic that’s so relevant the last few years.

With the fmc so adamantly against slurs against women, I’m amazed about the derogatory words she uses against men.

How can someone write this dramatic and think a reader can take it seriously 🤣

I’m very sorry to say Rhi has become a naive whiny little bitch.

I’m not even sure why i tried this … i started skimming after 10% and it’s getting more ridiculous by the minute. How can an author butcher so much potential for a story?

This girl has some reeaaaaaally weird priorities

This book really makes it hard to keep enjoying the story.

Is it really that hard to yell 4 words when someone is mad? Is it really that hard to tell ‘he is my mate’? Instead of saying that, exactly that and stopping ALL confusion, she’s saying ‘you don’t understand’. OMFG. It’s not like they have to keep it a secret anymore.
