To Catch A Firefly: Emmy Sanders reread

 A billion stars!

This book was absolutely incredible. It has everything I love in a story, and it's written by an author who writes the best pining. 

To Catch a Firefly is a love story, a BIG ROMANCE, featuring childhood best friends who take their time getting their timing right. 

Ellis is a neurodivergent mc who is mostly mute. He's my favorite kind of character, calm and quiet on the outside, but with a molten level of lava feelings rolling through them. Ellis is a good man. He's patient, kindhearted, thoughtful, and he loves his best friend Lucky. That's his person. 

Lucky is a tornado of a man. He's a live wire. He has big dreams of adventure and seeing the world. He wants to see everything and do everything, but he can't do all that in his hometown in Nebraska. 

Did you read Fool Hearts? This gives MAJOR Wyatt and Easton vibes but lighter(ish) angst. There's an airport scene (my heart!), multiple BIG moments, nature (that's all I'll say!)... this book just had so much. 

Ellis and Lucky's story was wonderful, and I loved reading it on so many different levels. These two were absolutely perfect for each other. Their love was so beautiful, and their HEA was absolutely deserved. 

Just so it's said, I think this is one of the best books I've read. The story is compelling. The characters are perfect. The plot. The pining. It's all absolutely perfect.

*sighs dramatically*

I LOVE THIS STORY so so much. Ellis and Lucky are textbook soulmates - childhood best friends to lovers - mutual pining - over years and years.

This is such a brilliant slowburn, and these two mcs have so much heart and depth... I just. I love them.

Not only is the story epic, but it's beautifully written.

I reread this tonight because I wanted a good cry. It delivered, as usual.

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

Y'all, I LOVED THIS STORY. I saw it available to arc read, and I took a chance. I am SO glad I did. I loved Cash & Wilder. If you love cowboy romances, 10/10 recommend this one. I've been crying off and on throughout the entire book. Wilder was such an amazing character. His back story was TOP TIER, and how he got introduced to the story kept me engaged the entire time. And Cash. Don't get me started on him. He is the perfect cowboy and the perfect place for Wilder to land. After being released from prison, omg that story broke my heart, Wilder goes back to his family ranch. But so much has changed, and so has he, and he doesn't quite feel like he fits anymore. Cash, the ranch foreman, is Wilder's boss... but he becomes so much more. This story has so much HEART and family dynamics. Lain, Wilder's brother and his family, also have to adjust with Wilder being back on the ranch. And the other ranch hands too. Everything is a part of the story. But there were s...

The Legend Next Door: Totally Pucked Book 2: Jesse H. Reign

I think this may be the hardest review I've ever had to write. I can't believe I'm saying this because I genuinely believed that Unbreak Me would remain my favorite Jesse book of all time... but THE LEGEND NEXT DOOR has, without a doubt, taken that spot. I loved this book. I LOVED IT. Jesse chose violence with this one because I died multiple times while reading. Died. Dead. Ben Stirling. Holy hell. BEN STIRLING CAN GET IT. Where did he come from 👀 I need to know. Jesse. How do I get a Ben Stirling, please? And Jeremiah. JELLY. Oh my god, Jelly. Both mmcs had no right to be as perfect as they were. It's just uncalled for. My heart can't take it. And Luca. 😭😭😭😭 I usually don't like kids in books, but Luca was such a sweet little character- and seeing Ben with his son was SO SWEET. But seeing Jeremiah with him was so much sweeter. The grief? God. It hit like a punch. The biawakening? Felt as natural as breathing. Believable, too. The chemistry? O...

Granddaddy's Law: Wolfe Productions

It's rare for me to go all in on a taboo story. Mainly because I need a little plot to enjoy a story and most taboo is just porny erotica. Which, to each their own, we don't yuck anyone's yum here - but I need some plot. My little corner of booksta was popping OFF about the latest taboo story, a collab of dark romance writers Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow. I've enjoyed their work in the past, and was told by a trusted booksta friend that Grandaddy's Law did in fact have a plot in addition to the porny goodness that had everyone OMG-ing the day away. I'll tell you this too, I love a well written taboo and forbidden story. I'm not in any way a prude. Y'all.  When I tell you how much I LOVED this novella - I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. Ezekiel is a BRAT. A live wire. He is coasting through college selling & using drugs and riding any d*ck he can find. After his latest arrest, Ezekiel is expelled from school and sent to live with his unknown pa...
