I knew I had to read this book after reading the “ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀ ᴍᴀʀᴛʏʀ, ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀ ʜᴇʀᴏ. ᴊᴜᴍᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ʟᴏᴏᴋɪɴɢ ʙᴀᴄᴋ. ғɪɢʜᴛ ғᴏʀ ᴍᴇ. sᴀᴠᴇ ᴜs.”
I knew I had to read this book after reading the blurb, but nothing could have prepared me for what this story would do with my emotions and my heart. This book is about finding the one person who could love you even if you thought you didn't deserve it, didn't need it, fought it until you couldn't fight it any longer about finding the person who can make you laugh even when their a grump, who will carry your heels in one hand and hold you with the other, who will give you everything!
Fitz and Jamie were witty banter, seductive, entertaining but also heartache, angst, and a twist that had me gasping for the devastation it would leave in its wake. These two had me hooked from the first chapter with smiles and laughter and through the last chapter with a beautiful journey of hope and love!
This was my first book from JEA, and it definitely won't be the last because this story left me with all the feels! JEA, you've gained a new fan, and I can't wait to read the next book in this series....more

“You are the reason for everything in my life. You are the light, and the goodness that I didn’t know was missing."
Oh my gosh, Brady and Abbi’s story “You are the reason for everything in my life. You are the light, and the goodness that I didn’t know was missing."
Oh my gosh, Brady and Abbi’s story couldn't have been more perfect! After the little snippet with Brady & Daisy, Abbi’s daughter, in the previous book, my heart melted and couldn't wait to read their story, I NEEDED more!
“Every time I think I’m used to how you make me feel, I’m hit with it all over again, as if I’m struck by lightning. And how, exactly, do you feel? Like nothing and no one else in the world exists. Like I was made just for this. Just for you.”
These two never stood a chance against each other. They were made for each other..... soulmates! Brady may be a broody cowboy who never wanted a relationship because of the dangers of his job, but we all know the right woman will always change that for a man, and that was Abbi for Brady. Abbi was cautious of who she let into her life because of the secrets she had to keep, but with Brady, it was as if he had always been in her life and he treated her baby girl like she was his, that was all it took!
“I love you. I tried not to. I really tried because I’m still not feeling great about being in a relationship when I still have to get on a bull, but it seems that I just can’t control the way I feel when it comes to you. And I don’t want to hold back because being with the two of you has changed my life in all of the good ways.”
“You’ll keep the earrings on, Because I’m going to fuck you while you wear my diamonds.”
This man was so swoony and the dirty talk woahh!! Plus Daisy was too cute and brought so much fun with her antics good could you not fall in love with her. Add in all the family, and you get such an incredible story that shows just how strong family ties truly are.
“I can’t wait to move into our home, to make more babies, and to live this life with you, every day, knowing that no matter what happens, we choose each other.”...more

"You have to fight to make your way through this world, whatever that looks like. No matter how ugly it might be."
River and Charleigh were tension and chemistry from the beginning, and I was here for it! River was the definition of a broody, morally grey hero, but he sure did make his swoon worthiness an art form!
“Nah. I saw you first. Wanted you first. Think that means you’re mine.”
“You’re going to get it now, what it’s like to be someone’s queen.”
“Looking at you is like looking at the sun breaking on a new day and wishing I could hold onto that moment forever. That’s what I’m going to give you. A million new days where you get to wake up and shine all your light. Shower this world in your beauty because there’s so fuckin’ much of it, it’s a disgrace to keep it hidden. Gonna make you shine, Little Runner. Fuckin’ glow.”
As for Charleigh, she was the epitome of light when her world became dark. She was determined, full of life and love, even with all she had suffered.
"In grief we must live."
“I’m afraid you’re going to break me. Nah, I’m not going to break you, Charleigh, I’m just going to ruin you for anyone else.”
This story, the words between the pages, this is why I LOVEEE Amy's writing so much!! She sends me on an emotional ride from the witty banter, cute kids, suspense, and a beautiful love story that, without a doubt, stays with me long after reading and this story is definitely that!
"That’s what we were. The perfect storm. Volatile and chaotic and perfectly right."

I’ll live in a cardboard box as long as it means I’m with you.”
It's been a while since I've read a Corinne book, but All Too Well reminded me why I LOVEEE her books! This book was a great start to this new series and introduction to all the amazing new characters, especially the guys from the Big Disc Energy ultimate Frisbee team! I have a feeling these men will be sweeping us off our feet!
“Sometimes the past belongs behind us, and other times we need to visit because there’s a part of us that isn’t healed yet."
The witty banter, the humor, and, of course, the characters were perfection. Lachlan and Ainsley were explosive chemistry, witty jabs, and the spice.......was definitely spicing!! These two and their unrequited love was killing me, but when the spark finally lit it was all over, no turning back. I loved seeing the relationship unfold and develop between them and Lachlan's daughter as more than just Auntie Ainsley.
"My love for you is more than I knew love could be. Each day I thank God that I fell in love with the girl next door. Your smile soothes my bad days. Your love healed my broken parts. You make me a better man, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
The side characters in this story were so much fun between Caspian, Lachlan's best friend, and Ainsley's brother, the Disc Jocks Lachlan's teammates, and oh man, the group text messages alone have me craving more of these men so I'm excited to take more trips to Ember Falls....more

This was my first book from Penelope, and now I'm invested in this series! I'll be totally honest, this book started a little slow for me and took a few chapters before it hooked me, but when it did, I couldn't put it down!
Jasper and Coraline's relationship was like a rollercoaster that I couldn't get off. From Coraline's perspective, it was a love-hate relationship. You know the kind I'm talking about.... the one where she loves to hate Jasper but really is annoyed that she actually hates that she loves him.... we've all been there! As for Jasper, he wants Coraline like his next breath and will do anything to have her but won't admit he loves her.... at least not out loud, yet.... men, ughhh! I did enjoy watching their relationship grow and develop into so much more, these two were sexy and spicy rolled into one.

Truett and Gwen took me on an emotional rollercoaster that shattered my heart for the pain, anguish, and trauma they endured. Tears, so many tears I cried for them, but to experience their story, to feel their emotions, it was worth the heartache to take this journey with them.
“I’m gonna make love to you so you can never forget how much you mean to me. Then, I’m going to make you come so hard, you will question whether you’ve ever had an orgasm without me. And then I’m going to fuck you until the only thing you know for sure is that you are, and have always been, mine.”

This was a quick read, but it definitely brought the spice and some fun with Maya and Derrick!
If age gap, grumpy/sunshine, close proximity is your jam, then you definitely want to grab this book and prepare for your kindle to heat up.
