In a world in which dreams are guarded and nightmares are unsanctioned, one woman's unraveling mind may hold the key to everything the empire fears.

Sweeping, perilous, and aching with forbidden passion, Where Dreams Fall is the first book of a dark romantasy series in which love is the most dangerous rebellion of all.

Review: Just Breaking The Rules

Just Breaking The Rules Just Breaking The Rules by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am shocked. Lauren Blakely did it, AGAIN. Okay I’m not really shocked, I knew this would be *chefs kiss* (literally).

Corbin and Mabel’s romance was so sweet. I loved watching their romance unfold, and the mirrored romance parallel.

I think my favorite part of all LB books, are the return characters and the little nods to other books. Most of her books are interconnected standalone books, but you can always find a character or two make an appearance.

This is the first book in her new interconnected standalone series, Hockey Ever After.

Beautiful written, addictive, funny, detailed, heartwarming, per-fec-tion. 10/10 no notes.

*edit to add* I also received an ALC copy, and the narrator outtakes at the end?! Omg. I don’t ever think about outtakes, and to have this start playing at the end made me laugh. So fun and light hearted. A nice little peak into the making of an audiobook.
