HE WAITED 10 YEARS FOR HER BECAUSE SHE TOLD HIM SHE WANTED SOMEONE TO WAIT FOR HER AND FOR HER TO BE WORTH THE WAIT.
10 years!! spoiling her from afar!! scaring away all potential love prospects!! building her dream house!! protecting her in secret!!
he was just as unhinged as the alliance men by sj tilly so if you like that series you will love this.
also this is silly, over the top, entertaining kind of billionaire where he’s definitely a red flag but he just loves her and wants to give her everything she wants forever and it’s SO FUN ...more
I don’t know how Maggie did it but each book in this series managed to be so perfect in its own unique way and I am sad it’s over but so glad it existI don’t know how Maggie did it but each book in this series managed to be so perfect in its own unique way and I am sad it’s over but so glad it exists.
CJ and Lennon were the PERFECT end to this series and they gave everything I could have wanted and more.
They meet in a bar and have a brief, hallway hook-up thinking they’ll never see each other again except that Lennon is the new chef at his ranch’s restaurant and since he’s anti-the expansion of the ranch, any warm feelings for her he might have had that night fly out the window. When he finds out there’s a lot more to Lennon than he thinks though, and she’s put up a tough fight for a long time, he changes his tune and has a lot of making up to do.
Lennon is for the Winter Hamilton girlies!!! She was grumpy and sassy and hid her longing for a family and a place to belong behind an icy exterior and she was perfect!!!! She gave every man who stepped out of line exactly what they deserved and the banter and chemistry she had with CJ was everything.
The Griffith brothers are all exceptional fictional men and CJ SERVED ok. He was giving grumpy, banter, enemies to lovers tension in the beginning and then when he realized he was in the wrong, became the most thoughtful and reassuring man for her.
I love them and this story and this series so so much!!! ...more

GOD, no one writes like soulmates like elizabeth o’roark, i swear. harrison and daisy are like matching pieces from two MY FAVORITE IN THE SERIESSSSS
GOD, no one writes like soulmates like elizabeth o’roark, i swear. harrison and daisy are like matching pieces from two different puzzles… they shouldn’t fit so perfectly but god, do they ever.
daisy is lying to everyone in her life and currently has no plans and no place to stay so… she plans to crash on the deck of her uncle’s best friend’s house while he’s in LA. except, when she gets there, he is very much not in LA and has been keeping secrets of his own. SO NATURALLY, she blackmails him into giving her a place to stay because gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.
harrison: grumpy, sullen (currently), damaged, broody, workaholic, loves to avoid daisy + daisy: sunshine, flies by the seat of her pants, would rather surf than work, loves to find harrison anyway and annoy him = the perfect match
WHEN I TELL YOU, they built the most genuine, real, soulmate level connection, i could not deal. and it builds up over a delicious, banter and tension filled slow burn but when the fire gets going, they are ELECTRIC.
100000000/10
AGE GAP EXPLANATION SINCE I KNOW Y’ALL TEND TO DRAMATICIZE -
they are eleven years apart. he is her uncle’s best friend. he references being around her while she was growing up. that’s because he’s obviously conflicted about their age difference and his relationship with her uncle. if you don’t like age gap, you won’t like it, so don’t read it because you don’t get to complain about something you willingly read. if you do like age gap, READ IT, it is so well done.
and slight ***spoiler***
since i saw someone commented on the age gap + the title, the title is referencing him seeing her in this new light as if he’s truly seeing her for the first time. don’t make things creepy that aren’t xoxo ...more
it’s a one night stand turned more, surprise pregnancy book between the star football player on campus and a girl who couldn’t be moTHIS WAS SO GOOD.
it’s a one night stand turned more, surprise pregnancy book between the star football player on campus and a girl who couldn’t be more his opposite.
i feel like this was actually such a unique surprise pregnancy book because the spotlight was really on the main characters and less on the pregnancy. i love cute pregnancy moments and we did get those but i LOVED the angsty back and forth between rush and faye and how we got such a deep understanding of both of them and all they overcame for their hea.
faye is a girl after my own heart and the way rush took care of her and tried to be there for her within her boundaries just tugged on my heart strings. i’m so picky with angst because i’m a baby when it comes to drama but this was so raw, so real, and so so good! ...more

hailey and cody knew each other years ago when he worked on her father’s ranch but when he gets involvedthis story sucked me right in and i loved it!
hailey and cody knew each other years ago when he worked on her father’s ranch but when he gets involved in something shady to help his struggling family, he has to leave for good. untilllll, hailey moves into the rental next door with her daughter and just so happens to start working at the ranch he’s developing. when her dangerous ex starts prowling around, cody decides they’ve had enough time apart and moves himself in.
i don’t know what you’d consider this subgenre, not motorcycle club but maybe suspense-y, gritty, small town romance? idk but it is really fun to read and this one was no exception. cody was so obsessed with her and was so flirty and funny while also being so protective and sweet to her and her daughter. also the plot twist reallllyyyyyy got me!...more
this book was simply a delight from start to finish. i was smiling the entire time i read it and it is a PERFECT beach read for summer!!!
klein and pathis book was simply a delight from start to finish. i was smiling the entire time i read it and it is a PERFECT beach read for summer!!!
klein and paisley shared one drunken kiss in college but a small phone mishap led to them… never speaking again. imagine paisley’s surprise when she’s out for her sister’s bachelorette party (who’s getting married to her ex!!!) and she runs into klein again and now has the opportunity to not show up single to her ex’s wedding. what could go wrong?
me? loving a blonde man? stop the presses. but klein was truly that good!!!!! he was so obsessed with her and never hesitated to stand up for her to her family of assholes (to be candid). paisley is a people-pleaser extraordinaire and i loved that even if he didn’t understand why she let people walk over her, he still supported her no matter what.
this book is funny, sexy, sweet, and just a giggly fun time!!! ...more
i’m scared to write this review because i’m worried my words won’t accurately portray just how much i loved this book or how perfect it was so PLEASE,i’m scared to write this review because i’m worried my words won’t accurately portray just how much i loved this book or how perfect it was so PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ICED COFFEE, READ THIS GD BOOK.
ray was a champion bull rider until an accident left him paralyzed. an experimental surgery gave him some mobility back but his life will never be the same and because of that, he’s shut his entire family out and isolated himself from the world. unfortunately for him, his family’s a lot more annoying than he is reserved so they keep meddling and trying to send him home aides that he fires repeatedly… until brooke, the clumsy, absent-minded hurricane who desperately needs the job.
GOD, everything about this book was amazing. brooke was such a funny, kind-hearted, and relatable character. the way she was a disaster in most areas of life despite having the best intentions made for a hilarious story and the way she got through to ray and had such a deep understanding of him was just so sweet.
UGH THIS WAS SO GOOD. and i loved the summer you found me but it was ANGSTYYYYY and this was the perfect drama but not break your heart angst like thaUGH THIS WAS SO GOOD. and i loved the summer you found me but it was ANGSTYYYYY and this was the perfect drama but not break your heart angst like that one.
emerson left her small town, with all of its cruel bullying and trauma, behind years ago but she’s now incredibly successful and has the revenge opportunity of a lifetime - destroying the town that tried to break her and all of her bullies with it. except things get a little complicated when she has to stay in town to take care of her (awful) mother and finds that her contractor who she’s been texting nonstop for months has rival plans to preserve the town’s history instead.
if you’ve struggled with your weight, disordered eating, bullying around your body, etc. this might be a tough read but her story touched home for me and i just loved it. emerson really went through it and has a disordered attitude towards food and exercise because of it. the people in her town and her FUCKING MOMMMMM are the worst but she finally found someone who would stick up for her in liam and god, i just loved them.
emerson really built a shell around her heart and was distrusting and uncaring towards everyone until she met liam who showed her time and time again that he’d be there for her at every turn. emerson and liam had the wittiest back and forth, the most fiery tension and passion, and the deepest understanding and love for each other.
for my girls who love an ice queen, grumpy girl and the stories about why they became that way, you will love this and so appreciate liam’s funny attitude and unwavering support for her. i loved every second of this from start to finish. 10/10!!!...more
