Northern Twilight by Samantha Young was my introduction into The Highlands series. I quickly became obsessed with this group of found family and all of the secondary characters! I definitely need more.
This was a childhood sweethearts, second chance, small town romance. Lewis and Callie have a past. They've known each other for a long time; however, they must grow apart in order to finally be together years later. Oh, and of course, there's a surprise pregnancy ...more
"You’re mine, Mads. You always have been. I lost you then, but I refuse to lose you now. Whatever you need, I’ll give it to you. Whatever we have to do, we’ll do it — together. No more letting anyone or anything get between us, you hear me?"
When I saw that Clio Evans, the Queen of fangs, tentacles, and tails, was writing a small town, romantic suspense novel, I jumped at the chance to read it... let me just say, I was not disappointed!
Haley wants nothing more than to leave her small town. On her last night in Citrus Cove, she's once again tormented by her high school bully, Cameron Harlow. Fast forward the years, and Haley is on the run, which causes her to return to the place she once longed to escape.
When Haley sees Cameron again, at first, it doesn't go so well, but Cameron is resilient and stops at nothing to earn her forgiveness. He grovels and gifts, which is his own special love language. Also, this man sure has a way with words ...more
“Never again. I never want to see you walk away from me again.”
Crossroads by Devney Perry is the first book in a brand new series... and gah, this book hurt so good!! It was a story of second chances, heartache, loss, and grief.
West and Indya's roads always seemed to cross. Indya would spend most of her summers with her parents in Montana at the Crazy Mountain Cattle Resort. She met West one summer when she was eight years old and soon they became friends. West didn't want to entertain her, so it isn't until they're older when their feelings changed into something more. But le sigh, timing just wasn't on their side nor was it ever right. Yet, once again, Montana brings them back together ...more
I've been slowly, and I do mean slowly (lol), binging this series by Catherine Cowles, so I was surprised to have received an early arc of boo5 STARS!
I've been slowly, and I do mean slowly (lol), binging this series by Catherine Cowles, so I was surprised to have received an early arc of book 3!
Glimmers of You is an angsty read with the perfect amount of suspense I just couldn't get enough of!! Seriously, you know a series is good when you have a written out suspect list you reference while reading ...more
Leo F*cking Hernandez sits cozy on top alongside Clay Johnson. This man is the trifecta of the ultimate book boyfriend: cinnamon roll, dirty talker, and overprotective! Kandi saved him for last for good reason.
From the first few pages, I was already crying. Leo and Mary connect through their love of gaming, but it soon gets messy due to a misunderstanding and these two don't reconnect until years later. Even when they finally reconnect, Mary swears she hates his guts and Leo, our naive soft boy, never even realizes who Mary really is!
Together, the chemistry between them is undeniable and will set your Kindle on fire! What ultimately let me down was the unnecessary drama that occurs. I just felt that Mary and Leo had already been apart for so long and endured a separation (which clearly affected both of them), so they didn't really need the climatic plot point... at least not with each other. But it's Kandi, the Queen of Angst. Expect the drama!
This series was such fun to read!! I was really hoping Kyle Robbins would get his very own redemption story, le sigh. I loved Leo to itty bitty pieces and I admired Mary's fiery confidence. This series hosts a great cast of characters I will miss dearly!

This book gave me so many different feelings and many mixed emotions. I don't know how to truly convey my thoughts, to be honest. All I know is, this This book gave me so many different feelings and many mixed emotions. I don't know how to truly convey my thoughts, to be honest. All I know is, this book was just so messy. It had the kind of angst that just hurts deeply. Rips you into pieces. Breaks you apart before putting you back together. Penelope could have taken this story in many directions. Instead, she took an unconventional route and the characters' love story was not an easy one. That's the beauty of Penelope's writing, each book she puts out in the world is different and so dang on special, and Toe the Line is no exception. At the end, the characters got the ending they deserved and a second chance, though our mmc definitely could have groveled more.

Once again M. Robinson delivers a steamy, drama filled romance with Second Chance Rival.
Tristian and Belle haven't seen or spoken to the other inOnce again M. Robinson delivers a steamy, drama filled romance with Second Chance Rival.
Tristian and Belle haven't seen or spoken to the other in over 20 years and now they must marry to merge their empires and further the line of succession.
There is no denying the electric chemistry between Tristian and Belle, but it was a difficult road to reach the same level of connection the two shared from the past chapters. At first, Tristian acted like a bully towards Belle and it wasn't until he felt comfortable to open up that he allowed her to see his true emotions.
Also, in my opinion, the whole family rivalry aspect was unnecessary to the plot and I wished it was better explained and executed. Overall, it was great to see their journey and watch their love finally flourish once more.

Moody by Penelope Ward was like no other story I've read before. Penelope isn't afraid to step outside of the boundaries and create some powerful Moody by Penelope Ward was like no other story I've read before. Penelope isn't afraid to step outside of the boundaries and create some powerful and angsty stories that gut you, yet make you feel completely happy inside when you finally reach the end.
Dax Moody was just like his name–Moody. He constantly battled with his many internal conflicts, conflicts that he needed to overcome before he could fully commit to a healthy relationship.
Wren McCallister is the complete opposite. She knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to take risks to obtain it; even if it meant her heart would suffer in the process.
Dax and Wren were explosive, but it was such a complicated affair that brought the slow burn and at times, moments of frustration. It was worth it though, just as all second chance romances should be.
Moody will appeal to audiences who love a good forbidden, friends-to-lovers romance–heavy on the emotions. I recommend it 100%!!

It's been seven years since Talia has spoken to, let alone seen, Foster Madden–the famous UFC fighter who broke her heart. Now, he's returned to Quincy, set on winning her back *cue the feels to my weak heart and the foreboding angst guaranteed with this second chance romance*.
Foster Madden has a lot of groveling to do and he will stop at nothing to win not only Talia's trust again, but her heart too. But Talia does not go easy on him. Winning her back is not an easy feat. In actuality, it's the biggest fight Foster has ever had to face and it'll take revealing all his truths before his second shot with Talia can truly begin.
