I LOVE to read romance books. Sometimes I can vibe with a romantasy book too. I am open to reading more genres but for now, romance hits all the right places🩷

    I knew I would love this book because I loved the first one in the series. I don’t know what it is about the men in this town but DAMN. Anyway, I enjoyed Lina and Nash’s story. They were polar opposites and yet I could see how they were meant to be together. I know that is the whole intention of the book but if it wasn’t, I would be confused because they complimented each other well. Good boy and bad girl is a combination that always makes a perfect story.

    Listening to this with audible

    I have never listened to an audiobook before but because I drive so much and never have enough time to read, I figured instead of the same music over and over, I figured I would try an audiobook. I am loving it and am shocked that I didn’t jump on the bandwagon before now.

    I promise I am enjoying this book just not having the time to read it which is annoying. About the book itself: I don't know why a small town is involved with so much drama that includes the law. Like if I moved to this place expecting a sweet, quiet life, I would be disappointed.

    I’m not far in for this book and yet, I already know it beats the first book for me. Lucy Score did not waste any time in just getting the characters to become comfortable with each other. So far, so good :)

  • Kindle - Yay or Nay?

    For months I have been trying to figure out if I should get a kindle or not. It seems convenient, especially when I am travelling to work or uni. Saves me from dragging a paperback with me which is fine because I have a book sleeve but....you know. Is a kindle worth my money?

    Finally reading a romance book set in Australia was refreshing. As an Aussie romance writer myself, this was nice to read and reminded me of my own writing. Adam James is everything I thought he would be. I would like to find me a man like him, even though he does have two first names. The story of Clarissa and Adam, with the past and present merging, was enjoyable to read. I loved reading the flash backs of little Adam and Clarissa and following it all the way until they parted ways. It all flowed so nicely. Brooklyn Dean did great with this book and I cannot wait to go back to Moonshine when I get the next book.

    I am loving this book so far. This is some good Aussie romance! I’m just waiting for Adam to realise who Lissy actually is. Like come on, man, if you have loved her since childhood, you’d know, right?
