Oh thank goodness for Alton - big brother stand in for the win. Thank you. And a little THAD moment - let’s goooo. But I shouldn’t be more invested in the side characters than the main ones.

Omg I may have to dnf this. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Why? He is clearly obsessed with you, who cares about anything else? And somehow you’ll fix the emptiness of the kids leaving and having to leave Madden for some dumb reason by stripping in front of the town that hates you? 🫤

I’m irritated. The secrets & lies are one thing but now he’s kissing another woman?!? Nooooo. He’s supposed to be yearning!!! I do not approve.

Why spend so much time with Elton and Veda if we don’t get their book?!

Okay verses one and two complete - let’s get to the good stuff. Hoping we don’t spend too long in the in-between when it’s clear they both want to be together …

I listened to all of the other ones so I wanted to finish out the series but this one has almost too much going on? It’s single “mom” (aunt) plus sports plus childhood friends to lovers plus marriage of convenience plus childhood trauma plus town outcasts it’s just a lot and not doing anything super well 😬

“Yeah, she’s doing great. That’s why I’m here screaming at you.” He rolled his eyes. “Tell me what happened.” - Xander - we all need a bestie like him. I need his book nowwww.

His thumb traced the same slow pattern on my wrist. - this is the type of spice I want. Literally just holding her wrist. 🥵

“I don’t want anything that doesn’t feel like what I have when I’m with her” why are YA boys so cute? 🥹

“There’s not a day in this lifetime you won’t have the power to break my heart”. We love a meaningful nickname!!

Breaking my rule a bit because I got an ARC that said standalone but the FMC was introduced in this series and I have a problem, I can’t read out of order! I need to know all the characters going in if they have a backstory.

Screaming. Crying. Sobbing. Cheering. 😅 I need a minute.

Chapter 49!!!! Everything I want in a fantasy read. So good. How is this book so much better than book 5?

Finalllllllyyyyyy

Ummm Slade matching Xaden’s vibe, I’m here for it.

“Where does your allegiance lie?” he asks pointedly. “With her,” I answer. “My allegiance lies with her.”

Aphrodite is Reagan’s new favorite god because of the love quest 😉 😆

Totally here for Argo & Slade’s buddy-cop banter even tho Argo can’t actually talk. I love that winged guy.

&& I’m still waiting for something to happen. Come on already.

Oz and Slade are just POed so lots of violence and torture … to what end?
