Insatiable by Melanie Harlow

Hot cop? Check.
Strong, independent woman? Check.

Friends to lovers? Check.

Yep, this hits a lot of my boxes.

Meet Noah, the sexy cop.
Meg, one of the Sawyer sisters.

You'll love getting to know these new characters while visiting with old favorites.

Review: Fuel the Fire

Fuel the Fire by Krista Ritchie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I guess I just don't know what to say. This is a series I had heard so much about, but just couldn't commit to such a long series.
Yet here I am, completely enamored with the Calloway sisters, Connor Cobalt, Loren Hale, and Ryke Meadows.
I am completely enamored by the love and devotion and the capacity in which these people love.
I am completely sad that they are not real people.

A love like Connor's and Rose's is not for the common people. Their love expands all boundaries, if not breaking them completely. There is nothing sexier than the minds between these two. They banter, they challenge, the never back down. The rules don't change for them. They find loopholes. They find outs.
Or they write their own future.
They decide how their story plays out.

When faced with challenges they should have anticipated, yet still didn't see coming--at least not from where it hit--Rose and Connor are pushed to do things they never thought they'd do. Yet, it makes the most sense that this power couple would be the couple to protect the others--no matter the cost.

I have a new respect and love for Richard Connor Cobalt. He's a man like no other. He is the god you should believe in. He is science. He is better than you could ever imagine. He is more than you or I could ever be.

And I will always believe in #RCCthisislove.

Review: Heartless Hero

Heartless Hero by Mary Catherine Gebhard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

He was mean.
He was angry.
He wanted his revenge.

She was sad.
She was lonely.
She just wanted to be loved.

These two collide in a fit of chemistry, heat, passion, love, anger, hate, lust, need, desire, revenge, loneliness, and feeling.

Theo is the bully you want to love. He's the anti-hero you also hate. But only because you aren't quite sure what his motives are. You aren't sure if you can trust him. You want to, but you just feel it in your gut that you shouldn't.
So, you're hesitant. You keep your distance. You hold yourself back.
Just as Abigail should have done.

Or should she have given him her all? Should she have bared herself to the only person she ever loved or should she have kept that hidden? Her secrets? Her scars? Did he deserve any of them?

Woven with a bit of mystery and intrigue, a whole lot of money and the twisted world in which the rich may live, MCG brings you a story you won't want to put down. You'll want to know if Theo can be redeemed. You'll want to know why Abigail loves him.
And you'll want to know the cost of falling for the one person you were never meant to fall for.

Review: Addicted After All

Addicted After All by Krista Ritchie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

i'm convinced Krista and Becca can only deliver books I want to read. They haven't written one single thing I didn't want to continue to dive into. I want all the words. And just when I think I can take no more, I realize I can because it's Lily and Lo, it's Connor and Rose, and it's Daisy and my Ryke.

It's the Calloway sisters. It's the Hale-Meadows brothers. It's Connor Cobalt.

Every family drama, the paparazzi problems, the tormentors, the lives of these couples....it's all here for you to read.

And honestly, I love that about this series.
It's a series. It isn't just one book that has a drama unfold at around 80% or so. It doesn't wrap up all neatly with a cute little bow.
These books are in depth. They delve into addiction and PTSD and OCD. They delve into recklessness, control, and how sometimes family isn't who you think it is.
KB Ritchie has given me a series that allows me to be a part of these lives. It makes them feel all the more real.

Review: Crazy

Crazy by Adriana Locke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love Peck! I've been waiting for that good timin' boy to settle down and THANK GOODNESS HE FINALLY DOES.

He gets everything he needs and wants and deserves. Because let's be real here, Peck is the most generous, giving, kind man. He's selfless to a fault. And he loves hard. He loves deeply. And he deserves that kind of love back.

He finds it.
He finds it and then some.

I loved this story. I really hope we get to stay in this world for a bit longer.

Review: Crave

Crave by Adriana Locke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've wanted to know more about broody, bad ass Machlan from the first moment he walked onto the page.
We knew he had a history, we just didn't know what it was.
And when we find out, man, let's just say I wasn't ready.

My tears had tears. My hurt had hurt. My feels were all over the place.

I love Mach and Had. LOVE THEM.

Review: Thrive

Thrive by Krista Ritchie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I put off reading this one for so many reasons. A lot of those reasons were because I just couldn't figure out why I'd want to go back and relieve the Calloway Sisters books from a different POV.

But then KB Ritchie proved that I needed this book to fully appreciate the love between Lil and Lo. And how they view the love that flows through Ryke and Daisy and Conner and Rose.

It's an interesting viewpoint. And clearly one that does not disappoint.

Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin

A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes you find a series that you just don't care for.
Sometimes you get to a book three in a series and you think it can't possibly go anywhere.

Then you find ACOWAR. The third book in a series.
AND BOOM.

To the stars who listen--and the dreams that are answered.

So.
Much.
Happens.

I cried.
I read and read and read.
And I cried.

Big, ugly, sobbing, messy tears.

Because this book broke me.
Shattered me.
Pierced my soul down to its very core.

And, out of the shadows, out of the darkness, it gave me hope. It gave me love. It brought me full circle.
And left me smiling.

I couldn't have predicted such an epic story. And not just the love story, but the war, the fight, the loss.
The act of simply giving to another. Showing up. Offering choice.
It's something you don't realize you need, until it's given back to you.

You do not fear.
You do not falter.
You do not yield.

Review: A Court of Frost and Starlight

A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Totally indulgent. There is no overlying plot, there is nothing huge to be taken away, but it's still wonderful. I loved visiting with my friends--okay, some people would call them characters--and seeing how they prepare for a celebration.

I loved seeing Feyre find something for herself.
I loved the gifts.
I loved Az and Elain and Rhys and Amren and just everything.

Because this was completely unnecessary, but so a nice gift to give .

My favorite part?
That sneak peek at the end.

THAT is what I want more of. GIVE ME MORE.
