Heart: Jesse H Reign

Jesse H Reign is some sort of high priestess sorcerer. A witch. A word witch. This story isn't like her usual books, but it's still a Jesse book. It still feels sprawling and and leaves you feeling like you've just EXPERIENCED something.

This is fast burn feelings and slow burn sex. This is connection and disassociation and realization. This is acknowledging when you've fucked up and trying to make it right and it's also a little self destruction mental angst. It's enormous feelings and mcs that feel unreal and also starkly real, all at once.

What left me reeling more than anything else was the foreboding sense of DREAD. I felt like something ominous was gonna drag me to wherever Lennon was and I did NOT want to go there. Leave me in the light of sunrise with Connor, truly. Is that sense of foreboding bad? NO. Because I trust Jesse to leave me at an HEA, and thank gods she did.

Lennon and Connor were fantastic. The side characters were intriguing and kept me turning the page. The relationship felt like the tension of when you realize you LIKE someone and lose all common sense and sense of self. Lots of looks and stolen glances and soft thoughts. The spice: so good y'all. But it does take awhile to get there. Worth the wait though.

I keep typing and deleting the rest of this review. I don't want to spoil it AT ALL. It's best going in knowing it's gonna be a slow burn and just let the high priestess take you on the journey.

It's 3am. This story wasn't at all what I was expecting, but simultaneously exactly what I thought it would be. I can't explain that, but it's the truth.

• obsessive
• thoughtful
• stalking
• green flag mc
• mental health rep
• joy in every day
• sex toys
• first time (with a guy)
• great supporting cast of characters

HEART was a damn good story, and Jesse continues to be an autoread author for me. 5⭐️

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...
