Sweet Vengeance: Sins of the Father book 2: Riley Hart

Sweet Vengeance, out October 8th, was such a pleasant surprise!

But Crystal, isn't that a "darkish romance" in Riley Hart's world? Yes, it is. Cillian and Ollie were a damned delight! 

❤️ C○ckwarming
🔪 Family drama
❤️ Found family
✨️ Grief and loss
❤️ Sharing *check end of review*
✨️ Connection

----- never having friends before, and now he looks around like 👀🫢😍

I loved Ollie and Cillian. They shouldn't work, but they do. Ollie is the other side of Cillian's coin. They're both brave, in different ways. Stubborn. Loyal. Hardworking. They both have a strong moral code. They're LOYAL and FIERCE in their own way. *yes, I said loyal twice. They ARE*

The chemistry between Cill and Ollie is off the charts, and their sex vibes are en fuego 🔥. I love how into each other they are.

They both have experiences with grief and loss, and it just tightens their connection.

What I LOVED was seeing the connection between Cillian and Rory & how Ollie was an important part of their THIS, too. Cillian and Rory are like parts of each other. This is where the sharing comes up. ✨️ Real talk, usually that's a no for me. But I trusted Riley, and it wasn't written in just for the sake of it. It wasn't a box to be checked. Seeing Rory and Cillian, and then Ollie... reading the story... when it happened, it made sense for the characters, and it was done really well. Don't let that keep you from the story!

Overall, based on vibes, the amount of smiling while reading, AND the general characters/storytelling, this was a 5 ⭐️ read for me. You know I am all about vibes.

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...

Brim Over Boot: Darling Brothers book 2: Emmy Sanders

Image
Oh my god, I am UNWELL. I shouldn't be surprised, but this one snuck up on me. BRIM OVER BOOT was fantastic. I'll be the first to admit that enemies to lovers is not my go-to genre. But Colt and Noah were damn enjoyable to read. From the beginning, you could see that Noah was under Colt's skin, and I was so here for when things started happening. And lord did they! Their love story is packed full of humor, rivalry, ridiculousness, and miscommunication/misunderstanding. They're idiots, your honor. But they're also SWEETHEARTS. Colt's struggle and fight along with Noah's possessiveness and patience. It's swoony over here! I loved seeing the Darling family again and meeting Walter. AND the Darling donkey cameo! I will die for Remington, if necessary. I could go chapter by chapter listing everything I loved about this one because Colt and Noah were just that good! BRIM OVER BOOT is out May 22nd. You still have time to read (or reread) book one, Sweet Like Wh...
