A royals-adjacent second chance romance seems like something I would totally eat up. And I mean, technically I did, but I did not have the best time. A royals-adjacent second chance romance seems like something I would totally eat up. And I mean, technically I did, but I did not have the best time.
Second chance romances are near and dear to me. I love the opportunity for groveling and pining. But this was entirely too insta-lust/lovey for me. Also tbh the mmc kinda gave me the ick. The two of them have basically no relationship development outside of the smut. Also, plot… uh, where was it?
For taking it for what it is (read: a smutty romance), it was fine. I read it fairly quickly and def liked it more than the first book.
Thank you to NetGalley and berkley romance for an arc....more

haley’s on the run. and she runs right back to the smathis book has everything I love: small town, second chances, groveling, and a dash of suspense.
haley’s on the run. and she runs right back to the small town she said she’d never return to. and there is Cameron, her high school bully who is ON HIS KNEES (literally and figuratively) for her. Cameron is down bad and I love him so much.
this book literally had me kicking my feet and gasping. the suspense plot line had my head spinning so much. and the mortal peril?? pls it was so good.
i loved how haley and cam came together. he’s protective and supportive and did i mention the groveling? bc wow did i love that.
thank you so much greys promotions and clio for an arc! it’s out now ...more
this book is so fun and so spicy. poppy is a confident queen and garrison is a GRUMPY billionaire who knows how to grovel!! the jealousy and grovelingthis book is so fun and so spicy. poppy is a confident queen and garrison is a GRUMPY billionaire who knows how to grovel!! the jealousy and groveling scenes in this were my absolute favs.
when garrison messes up at work, he’s sent to cherry peak for two months. he knows he’s going to hate the idyllic small town, but what he didn’t expect was to fall for the pole studio owning baddie, poppy. the banter is delicious, and again I have to stress the GROVELING. he was on his knees for her.
hannah tysm for the arc!

marriage of convenience, a hit man x multiple deleter and grumpy x sunshine. by all means I should’ve loved this.
lachlan fell a little short for me. he was incredibly grumpy and I feel like there was a lack of character development for both him and lark. we never got closure for the two of them why she kills people, she never told her best friend WHO HAS LITERALLY KILLED FOR HER??? I just feel a bit underwhelmed with that characters. and for the plot… what plot? the villain was so meh to me. the climax did absolutely nothing for me as compared to b&b (I literally cried ok).
did I have fun? yes. was the slow burn torture? yes. but it didn’t live up to the same love I have for rowan and sloane.
I’m sat between a 3 and 3.5 rn. We’ll see if that sticks ...more
