'Riot House' by Callie Hart // Review 3/5 Stars 🌟 I don't even know where to begin with this review. I'm not sure if my mood and mind just wasn't in it or if it was the book itself. I didn't hate this book ut I also didnt love it. The chapters of the book felt drawn out to me and the length of the book felt much longer than it was. I felt like alot was happening while at the same time nothing at all was happening by the end of the book I forgotten most of what had happened apart from the major story revelations/twists and even then I found them to be predictable and lack luster. We got little burst of mystery woven into the plot here and there but they were so very few of them and spread to far apart to keep me invested in the long run and by the time they were revealed I had already figured out what they were which is probably why I found them underwhelming . This book became predictable real fast. Wren was supposed to be this cold, complex and mysterious gu

  4.25/5 Stars 🌟 Sawyer and Mindy's story was sweet, sexy, emotional and beautiful. These two found each other at a young age and were bound and anchored together through tragedy and darkness. Sawyer has been dealing with the loss of both his parents from a young age that forced him to grow up much faster than he should've. Taking on the responsibility of running his family's peach orchard while caring for his two young siblings since he was 16. Now at 31 he has recently returned home from serving with the marine's and he is even more closed off and guarded than before. He was such a strong, determined, protective, supportive, sexy and caring guy but also broken, lost, hurting in ways that will break your heart but you will surely fall in love with him. I loved every thing about him. Mindy has been in love with her best friends brother long before she even really knew what love meant. She is determined now more than ever to do everything she

3.5 Stars 🌟  Jace & Faith's story starts in high school when they secretly & anonymously leave notes for each other in library books. After meeting they start a relationship and they both seem to fall fast and hard planning a life and future together until one day something tears them apart and Faith leaves. 5 years later Faith is returning to her hometown trying to get away from her seemingly perfect life and finding a way to start over and move forward when she runs into Jace who is less than happy to see her. Both broken in their own way, will they find a way back to each other or will this love of theirs destroy them both. This story started off so strong and I found myself intrigued by how it was going to play out. It was heartbreaking at times, it was beautiful, raw, real and emotional. I really enjoyed the first half and found myself flipping through the pages super fast. It was a slow burn, enemies to lovers small town second chance romance

4/5 Stars 🌟 A Slice of Love is a second romance between Frankie and Jonas who in high school started to build a friendship into something more before Jonas puts an end to it. 4 years later and who happens to be at Frankie's doorstep delivering a pizza, none other than Jonas Schwartz. This was such a cute and sweet novella in the Slice Series. It was adorably funny and super swoon worthy and slightly frustrating at times and I enjoyed every minute of it. I loved both Frankie & Jonas as well as the various side characters present especially Jonas' entire family who I'm hoping might apear in a future Slice book maybe even Sully's book 😍😍❤ I love this entire series as well as Teagan's writing and can't wait to see what's next 《book aesthetic made by me. I do not own the pictures, all found via pinterest》 Release Date: April 16 Jonas Schwartz isn't just good at playing football.  He's also good at playing

  3.5/5 Stars 🌟 Southern Comfort is book 2 in the Southern Series by Natasha Madison and follows Olivia & Casey who we met in book 1 Southern Chance. Even though this is a series of interconnected standalones I really think to get the full story behind each character and couple you should read these books in order. At the end of book 1 we got a soft cliffhanger that leads us straight into book 2. I already knew I like Olivia & Casey together and was super excited for their book & I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a quick, easy and fun read full of passion, heat and packed with drama and some added suspense. It was funny one minute & emotional the next.  Casey isn't just a cowboy he is so much more than meets the eye and I loved him. He was caring, protective, smart, funny, sexy AF and so very Alpha, sometimes a little too alpha that it made me laugh. Olivia is trying to get away from her past and trying to get her life back to normal whate
