Review: Rolling 75

Rolling 75 by Brandy Hynes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Move over book boyfriends, Ryker is here to take the lead. Ryker Noire is the definition of down bad, and I am here for it. He was, wait for it, SO. SWEET. Like champagne and delusions. Brandy Hynes says at the very beginning that she recommends going in blind, and omg I am so glad I did. The story line, plot, characters, all of it was *chefs kiss*. I think my favorite part(s) were when Mercy would butcher well known sayings lol. I laughed, I cried, and I loved every min of it.

Review: Silver Elite

Silver Elite by Dani Francis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved everything about this. I will admit that it was predictable, but still great. The banter, the wanting, the setting, all *chefs kiss*. I was hooked the entire read, and I could not put it down. I will admit that I think the MFC having FOUR names is a bit much, but I guess it works. The ending leaves on a bit of a cliff hanger / major reveal. I think everything tied together nicely, and the plot was well written. I can't wait for book two! Even though book one is all about Cross and Dove, I still want more lol.

Review: The Good Girl Effect

The Good Girl Effect by Sara Cate
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I did enjoy this book. It did have great banter and spice, but the plot really bugged me. I tend to like books more when I can relate in someway to the characters, and this one just wasn't it. I thought the whole dynamic of Camille getting the job and why she wanted the job was weird. I still viewed Jack as grieving, and it was just something that even he was admitting to struggling with, and it just felt off to me.

Review: Love Redesigned

Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh this was so so sweet. I cried so many times, I lost count. Julian and Dahlia were everything you would want. The pettiness of Julian had me laughing so hard MULTIPLE times. He is PETTY PETTY lol. The banter was great too. I loved the different pranks they would play, not only on eachother, but with both families and friends. The relationship of the two families was sweet to watch, and I loved how well everyone got along. The meddling moms were a great touch too.

editing to add: I also really loved the mention of characters from other books! It was a cute little easter egg and I enjoyed hearing about them again.

This was a good read. It did keep me engaged and I was hooked from the start. However, it was repetitive and a bit predictable, but still a good read.

Review: Charring Bones

Charring Bones by Brandy Hynes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This entire series was amazing, BUT THIS BOOK?! The cherry on top. I loved this one the most for sure. Gage and Ainsley were my FAVVV.

These books all start off by saying they could be read as standalone, but the author really believes you need to read them all for the full picture, and I totally agree. The characters, the story, the little details, they all really show through each book. Watching how it all grows and comes together was perfection.

This was full of the dark mafia vibes that I look forward to reading about. Such a perfect ending to this series. I will admit that the last chapter or two threw me. I did see that the "missing years" can be found in Brandy's new series about the Noire Brothers, AND I CANNOT WAITTTTT.

Bang! by AJR?! Are you kidding?!

What to expect:
Dual POV
Mafia/Secret Society
Jealous/Possessive hero
Action/ Suspense
Second Chance
Enemies to Lovers
Forced proximity
Trauma healing
Obsessed MMC
Strong FMC
Found family
Touch her and unalive
Morally Gray MMC and FMC
Spice
Band of Brothers


I AM SCREAMING BECAUSE THIS WAS SO FING GOODDDDD.
Please read it. Thank you.

Review: The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain

The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain by Hannah Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was actually so cute. I won't lie, I almost quit reading a few chapters in. It didn't really read like a book, more of a diary, and I wasn't really vibing. However, I stuck with it, and it picked up. Still a bit slow, but once it started reading more like a story, I really enjoyed it. It REALLY picked up once Sebastian entered lol.

I have loved Hannah Brown since she was the bachelorette. I think this book added to my love for her. Yes, it was slow at the start, but the way the story played out was so sweet. A heartwarming second chance romance that was the perfect start to summer.

The audio was also very well read! I think that helped a lot with my reading. I had started with physically reading, but once I was able to listen, it picked up. Cherami Leigh did such a great job reading. She really brought the emotion needed in the tough parts. She was easy to listen to, and I cannot wait to find more books she reads for!
