Rocky Start: A-List Security book 4: Annabeth Albert

ROCKY START was S T U N N I N G.

I know I've read it before, but damn. I was legit blown away by Avery and Malik.

• bodyguard/bodyguard
• ex Navy seal/ex intelligence officer
• experimenting
• awakening
• lingerie
• PRETTY
• dirty talk
• spanking
• coming out
• caretaking
• light D/s
• 🥵🔥 sex scenes
• PTSD rep
• disability (lost one arm in the Navy) rep

These two. Oof. So good.

Two coworkers: one comment
turned "have you ever thought about...?"
turned "we will figure it out" 
turned FOREVER.

Malik's intensity and adoration of Avery.
Avery, being so so afraid to be himself.
All the lingerie and pretty things. 

This book was delicious.
100000000000000% recommend
You don't have to read the series to enjoy.

Definitely my favorite of the series.

"And I want to share that life with you. I want to date, find new places to take you out to eat, hold hands, go out with friends and come back to my place and make out, and miss you on the nights you're not there."

"I want that too.' My whisper was shaky but each admission was becoming easier Real. Future. It hovered there like a goal something to reach for. I could have that. We could have it. 

"And you're right. I have to live my own life. Stop caring what others think Care more about what I want and need. Wear the damn corset. Hold your hand. Kiss you in a movie theater. Meet your friends. Sleep in your bed."

Reread 16/179

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...

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...

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...
