giggling greening gasping wheezing screaming throwing up I was first a little dubious about this book since the previous wasn't caught my attention much. River somehow appears to be more appealing if compared to Romeo. Not to mention that Ruby is much more likable than Demi for me. I'm utterly in love with Ruby. She is a strong, independent, and feisty heroine—my favorite kind of FMC to read about. Enter River who is charming, engaging, and simply knows what he's doing. Both individually and together, they are equally amazing, what a made match in heaven they are! The chemistry and banter between these two were excellent. It was a lot of pleasure to read. Right from the start, they had incredible chemistry, and it only got better when they ended up together. I loved their dynamic, and their heated banter was the best part of all. Even the third breakup act did not bother me, they might not handle it so well but I'm glad they finally had the guts to tell each other's feeling to one and another, especially Ruby when she had the guts to confront River at first, I love her so muchhh for this. I also want to appreciate Desiree Ketchum and Aiden Snow for narrating this book. I admire how well they portrayed the characters and how vividly they brought them to life. I was just excited to see what the author would introduce us to in the next book since we had a preview of the banter between Kingston and Saylor and the 'female gang' that developed between Demi, Ruby, and Saylor—especially the former, without a doubt. So, absolutely! I'll start reading Forbidden King shortly after this! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

smiling wheezing throwing up Okay... so, uhm, I had mixed feeling while reading this book. It was cute and funny, but it also boring and lame as well. I expect more tension between Romeo and Demi, because did I just miss something in the blink of an eye or why do they end up dating really quick without any preamble? Even if they didn't have a great banter, I might still say that they had a solid connection. Despite it all, I enjoyed the small-town ambience and the found family trope that still introduced lightly in this book. And aside from the plot's predictability and light repetitiveness, I think I managed to finish this book without any grudges. Likewise, I would like to acknowledge Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais for narrating this book. I love how great they portrayed the characters and described them so well that I didn't lose interest in the book because of the dull narrative in the middle. I'm still interested to see what the author will bring us into for this series in the next book, since we had the teaser banter between River and Ruby. And yes! I will definitely read Wild River immediately after this! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

squeaking wheezing gasping swooning limping screaming crying throwing up Everything happens to be enjoyable and good until the love triangle trope shows up out of nowhere and completely spoils everything, including my mood. I don't think it's necessary, even if it's at the near end of the book and the resolution is simple and brief. It's probably just the cherry on top of the entire plot. And, most significantly, it destroyed my fondness for the character. Thus, I despise Hank for being an ass, but I also resent Samuel for being a jerk, which in turn made me loathe Emma as well. However, I feel sorry for Hank at the book's conclusion. Despite it all, Samuel and Emma stories were still enjoyable and fun to read. Their banter was great, and their chemistry was insanely hot as hell. The romance is intense and passionate, and the characters have amazing connection with one another which led to some passionate sequences that undoubtedly captured our attention. Characters in literature sometimes engage in verbal fights that is nearly as good as physical foreplay, and these two were blazing hot together. And that undoubtedly resulted in some crazy desire and passion. Since the epilogue gave us a glimpse of Hank's side of the story, I was merely curious to see what the author will introduce us to in the next book. Yes! I will absolutely read Southern Sinner right away, upon finishing this review! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

weeping sobbing wailing sobbing squeaking wheezing screaming crying throwing up I read for fun. But this is THE FUN I get with a good weeping sobbing crying snotting trashing throwing up. This book is an emotional rollercoaster; it is equally heartbreaking and swoon-worthy. I'm devastated and completely lost. My eyes were entirely drained of tears 🥹 I had no idea that I would become so caught up in this messy, real, complex, realistic, passionate, and intensely emotional love story🤧 My favorite thing about this novel is how genuine and raw Beau and Annabel are with one another; it's also basically about their recovery process. Their tension and banter are fantastic. The desire, agonizing tension, despair, and affection between Annabel and Beau felt so tangible 😭 I was profoundly affected by the writing, stirring emotions of sorrow, despair, and pain impact on me. And the epilogue was so heartwarming, I like how they set things right🤍 I became genuinely eager to see what the author would take us to in the second installment of this series, since we had the glimpse of fiery banter between Samuel and Emma. Yup! I will definitely read Southern Hotshot immediately after this! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

gasping squeaking wheezing screaming crying throwing up Okay, so, uhm... I feel conflicted about this book. I enjoyed this book more than I should have, even if it may not be the ideal way to end the series and it somewhat fell short of my high expectations. iykwim. I’ve really been looking forward to Millie and Holden book even from the very beginning of this series and I feel a bit upset since this book failed to exceed my expectation. Their main problem is not that complicated and instead I found some issues with the age gap that the author has describe for us. I hope this problem was solved and describe better in the upcoming series. Despite it all, I kind of enjoyed their banter and chemistry more than I should have, which isn't too horrible either. I adore how Holden always takes such good care of Millie. He is so sweet and delicate for her, it makes me squeaking wheezing swooning throwing up. The smutty and spicy scene might overwhelm me a bit, but that was still fine by me tho. And yes, I realize that this is the fifth time I've said it. As I indicated in the last book, the authors' portrayal of the town's surroundings continues to captivate me. I had the impression that I could see the area's natural splendor, hear the birds chirping, smell the clean mountain air, and become one with nature upon reading this book, or series since I've state it so many times. duh. Likewise, I also wanted to appreciate Sebastian York and Grace Grant for narrating this book. I adored how they vividly portrayed the characters and how well they brought them to life. I also value the fact that the Wild and Lexington families have finally reached a new understanding and are now a whole family. It highlights the found family trope that works so effectively in this book. Given that we get a glimpse of Dani and Bridger both in the epilogue and as the plot develops in this book, I was genuinely excited to see what the author will introduce us to in the next series. Although I sincerely hope Kristen Proby will publish the stories about the Lexington sisters soon, I suppose I still want to read the Blackwells sibling series as it is presently available. Overall, I had a great time devouring up this series. I believed that each couple's relationships were fascinating, adventurous, and intriguing. The trope of the found family that characterizes this interwoven series is incredibly charming and endearing. I strongly suggest reading this series if you're looking for a small-town romance wrapped with spicy-worthy banter and filled with swoon-worthy scene between each couple!!! 🐎❤️‍🔥

giggling gasping weeping wheezing screaming swooning throwing up Brady Wild might be not as appealing as Chase was, but he does as wild as Ryan. iykwim👀 I love how he takes care of Abbi and consistently makes sure she's doing her best. The way he always makes her feel at ease and ensures that her body isn't the one ruining her mind had me swooning limping fainting wheezing throwing up. Apart from the predictable plot, the fact that nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first, and the fact that everything happened so quickly and abruptly by the book's end with lightning-fast resolving issues (yet again), their banter and chemistry are enjoyable enough that I don't think I have any particular issues with it. I also think it's great that Brady always makes sure Daisy is taken care of. I genuinely treasure the closeness they share as soon-to-be father and daughter. One aspect of the found family trope that I favor is how they are always ready to provide moral or emotional support for those who need. I genuinely admire how the author depicts the Wild family's willingness to go above and beyond to ensure Abbi's safety and comfort in spite of everything, even the fact that Abbi is not yet a member of their family. And sure, I am aware, I think I've said this for the fourth times. As I mentioned in the previous book, I am still fascinated by the writers' description of the town's surroundings. I felt as though I could see the natural beauty of the area, hear the birds singing, smell the pure mountain air, and merge with the natural world while reading this book🌲🏔 Moreover, I would like to acknowledge Zachary Webber and Samantha Brentmoor for narrating this book. I loved how they brought the characters to life and how wonderfully they represented them. I'm eager to see what the author will bring us into in the final installment of this series since we had the glimpse of banter between Millie and Holden. Also, ever since I finished reading the fourth book, I've been eager to read their own. Or perhaps the third book? So, yes! I'll start reading She's a Wild One shortly after this! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

greening gasping swooning weeping sobbing giggling smiling wheezing screaming crying throwing up Wild siblings turn out to be the dreamiest siblings ever?! Is that even a phrase?!? Because this series is getting better and better, and in fact Ryan Wild is indeed wild WILD🥵 I love how he takes care of Polly and constantly makes sure she's doing her best. He always makes her feel secure and calm and spoils her, which made me swooning fainting limping wheezing throwing up. I was losing my mind over the fact that his love language is gift (re: he likes to give—spoils everyone that he loves) and also, he doesn't care how much it costs him money to keep Polly happy and satisfied. I don't think I have any specific problems with the book, except from the predictable plot and the fact that nothing seemed strange at first and that everything happened so quickly and abruptly by the book's close. Their banter and chemistry are entertaining enough. And another fact, he has a mini observatory which contain a mini telescope in his house making him more appealing and much MUCH hotter. I really admire the way Ryan always makes sure Jake isn't their third wheel and how he manages to carry himself for Jake. Their bond as dad and son is something I truly cherish. As if my heart couldn't hold back, I also started crying and wailing in heartbreak before turning to delight when Jake had to refer to Polly as "mom." Whether it wanted to explode from joyous tears or from happiness, I couldn't tell. I suppose I wasn't sure which was incorrect because both are true. If this counts, I've mentioned it three times before, but I couldn't help myself. As I indicated in the last book, I continue to be impressed by the authors' ability to convey the town's natural surroundings. I had the impression that I could see the beauty of the surroundings, hear the birds singing, smell the clean mountain air, and become one with nature as I read this book. 🌲🏔 I also like acknowledge Jason Clarke and Maxine Mitchell for narrating this book. I adore how well they portrayed the characters and how vividly they brought them to life. Since we got a preview of Brady and Abbi's banter, particularly in the Epilogue, I was just curious to see what the author will introduce us to in the next book. Millie and Holden were mentioned and appeared frequently in this book, and their banter was kind of fiery either, so I initially assumed that the next novel was about them. I guess I could wait for their book in the last installment of this series, though. This is partly bcs to the fact that the former (Brady and Abbi) is actually rather fascinating. So, yes! I'll start reading On the Wild Side right away after this! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

giggling gasping wheezing screaming swooning throwing up Chase somehow appears to be more appealing if compared to Remington. I adore the way he always taken care of Summer and making sure she's on her best. The way he always makes her comfortable and pampering her was making me swooning limping fainting wheezing throwing up. Their banter and chemistry are enjoyable enough, aside from the predictable plot I believe I don't have any particular issue with book. One thing about small town romance is I love the way the community is always supportive towards each other's aaaaaa and I do admire ho the author portrays it. As I mentioned before in the previous novel, I still admire the way the writers capture the beauty of the town's natural surrounds I had the impression that I could hear the birds chirping, smell the clean mountain air, and feel at one with nature while reading this book. 🌲🏔 Furthermore, I am thankful for Stella Hunter and Connor Crais for narrating this book. I love how vividly they brought the characters to life and how wonderfully they represented them. They make such a fantastic pair of narrators. I was just eager to see what the author will introduce us to in the following book since we had the glimpse of banter between Ryan and Polly the 'female gang' that formed between the women who have a hazy relationship with the Wild siblings, particularly the former, undoubtedly the former. So, yes! I will immediately start reading Wildest Dreams shortly after this! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

giggling gasping wheezing screaming crying throwing up Okay, I somehow could finish this in just one sitting. The prompt of single dad x nanny wasn't that odd, the banter between Remington and Erin wasn't that bad either. But I do feel like the pace was uneven and it makes the push and pull connection between them seems a bit off(?) Despite it all I enjoyed the small-town ambience and the found family trope that written really well in this book. I love how the authors capture the beauty of the town's natural surroundings. I felt as though I could hear the sounds of chirping birds and the fresh scent while reading this book. 🌲🏔️ I also wanted to acknowledge Sebastian York and Emma Wilder for narrating this book. I adore how well they portrayed the characters and gave them a lot of life. They are such a wonderful combination of narrators. I simply couldn't wait to see what the author will bring us into for this series in the next book, since we had the glimpse of banter between Chase and Summer. So yes, I'll go straight to read Chasing Wild right after this! 💥🏃🏻‍♀️

“Chloe Carter destroyed me in every way I needed. She broke me apart before gluing me back together, repairing me from the inside out. I’m not letting this girl get away. Not now and not ever.” —Santiago Alatorre sobbing weeping greening giggling gasping wheezing swooning limping wailing screaming throwing up. Five stars only wouldn't even be enough. I need a thousand million billion trillion quadrillion more stars for this book. GAAAAAHHHHH SCREAMING WHEEZING THROWING UP. Santiago Alatorre, the man that you are, the man of my dreams, my knight on the shining armor 🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️ I'd be delightful adn proudly declare that this book is the most bestest in the series. No complains about it at all. Everything about it is perfect PERFECT✨ And I adore every sequence of it periodt. periodism. periodicity. periodically. periodic table. Santiago has officially toppled Jax as my favorite mmc from this series, and I'm not sorry for it whatsoever. Lauren Asher did a great job of portraying his anguish and disabilities, as well as how even flawless individuals have flaws. He was very considerate and compassionate. His character seemed very real since we witnessed him had to endure the most tough times and his worst moments, yet his recuperation was so heartwarming and incredible. Watching him battle his struggles while still protecting those he loves had me weeping, sobbing, crying throwing up. He’s the perfect mix of brooding intensity and heart-melting tenderness. The way he fights for redemption while showing unwavering devotion is everything—he deserves the world, even if he doesn’t believe it himself. And while there are many beautiful and devastating quotes about Santiago's devotion to Chloe, my favorite is this one: “She’s my kaleidoscope in a world of gray.” —Santiago Alatorre Chloe also happens to dethrone Elena, as my favorite mmc from this series and I'm not sorry for it whatsoever yet again. She caught my attention right away. She was the ideal embodiment of sunshine, adding a great deal of brightness to both Santiago's healing journey and this novel. I appreciated that the story concentrated on her condition as well as the fact that she was experiencing domestic abuse. Her bravery in facing this was truly remarkable, and I admired her determination. I love every single one of her because she was so encouraging to Santi and her positively was exactly what he needed. I adored and admired witnessing them grow into something so wonderful as they went through the various stages of their relationship. The romance was undoubtedly my most favorite part for this book. They were a perfect combination of a match made in heaven. “Chloe Carter didn’t just bring back a part of me that was missing. She helped me grow into someone better than ever before, and for that, she has my loyalty and love.” —Santiago Alatorre “Santiago Alatorre loves me in a way that most people spend their whole lives chasing. And I love him equally as much.” —Chloe Carter I'm still not prepared to bid this series farewell. Because how could I have done that after Lauren Asher wrote us such a heartfelt and lovely epilogue and extended epilogue? I almost dare to hope that she might someday will brought us back to this universe by writing the second generation of them🥹🤧 I would also want to appreciate Noah B. Perez and Vanessa Vasquez for voicing this book. I adore the way they brought the characters to life. Overall, I extremely enjoyed devouring this series. I regret not to picking this up very sooner. I considered each couple's relationships were charming and endearing. The found family trope that characterizes this interconnected series is incredibly poignant and perfectly well-written. This series is a must-read for anyone seeking a slow-burning, sport-romance with swoon-worthy banter between each couple! And, I know you might find the previous books were might cosider as badly written or not worth your time, but please, please, please I'm begging you bear with it and be really patient. Because this last installment is flawless in every way and well worth your time! ❤️💙💚💜

“Elena brings out the hopeless romantic in me that can’t help wanting to make her smile again.” —Jax Kingston greening giggling gasping wheezing weeping screaming throwing up. Yes! Finally, a book that drives me to adore it. Jax Kingston proves to be better to Noah and Liam because he behaves better than them, despite the fact that he still gets lustful around Elena because he is still a 'man'. But compared to Noah and Liam, he was at least less cocky. At first, I was a bit skeptical towards this book, since the two previous did not happen to be my 'glad to read' much. This one however, was my favorite of the series. Jax is undoubtedly my favorite mmc from this series so far. I could relate to his struggles with addiction and anxiety. I also find it heartbreaking to see him attempt to push Elena away. He broke the heart of the woman he loves to protect her and break himself too in the process. I'll cry weep sob mop wail for them. His character development isn't very evident, but I'm happy to see that he can now let go of those things and accept whatever comes his way. “You. It’s always been you. I was screwed ever since you walked into that McCoy conference room when Liam needed help. Even when I made it my mission to have you stay the fuck away from me. Especially when you were vulnerable with me. I want to be broken with you.” —Jax Kingston Elena also happens to be my favorite fmc from this series so far. Her character radiated dedication and ambition. I admired how she fearlessly pursued her goals while standing her ground with determination and wit. She's intelligent and resourceful, never hesitating to protect what matters most to her. I also adored how much her background impacted her and how important it was to her relationship and character growth. I'll crying weeping sobbing wailing for her all over again. I love every sequence of this novel. I enjoyed seeing them grow into something so wonderful as they went through the various stages of their relationship. The personalities and backgrounds of the characters were real, and their growth throughout the narrative was flawless. They enhanced each other's strengths, and I became completely enamored. It touched on several serious subjects, and I began to tear up a lot. “I know you didn’t get the news you wanted. I know you said every terrible thing to get me to run away. You tried your best to make sure I was okay without you, even though I most definitely wasn’t. You don’t need to pretend anymore that you’re okay. I don’t want you to. I want the good and the bad, and everything in between with you.” —Elena Gonzalez “I love you too. Even when I tried my hardest not to. I’ve missed you more than I can begin to explain. I’m sorry for everything, Elena. I’m sorry for hurting you and for making you feel like you weren’t good enough for me. For all the days of my life, I promise you I won’t push you away. When life gets hard, I’ll lean on you. When you need me, you can count on me to do the same. I want our kind of love story.” —Jax Kingston The epilogue and the conclusion were both really endearing and charming. I also like appreciate Ramona Master and Derek Duvall for narrating this book. I love how they made the characters felt so much alive. And since the found family that delivered and developed in this series is so solid, I can't wait to read what the author will bring us into in the final installment of this series. Also, I'm so excited to read Santiago's own book from the first time I read Throttled. Hell yes, I will definitely read Redeemed after this! 🔥💥🏃🏻‍♀️

“She’s my star in the dark sky, shining bright and guiding me back from the shadow. Like the destructive yellow orb in the sky, she eats away at my protective layer while lighting up my darkest corners.” —Liam Zander gasping wheezing weeping screaming greening giggling screaming throwing up. I thought this one was better than the first book, turns out it's not. How upset did I get myself into? Liam was no better than Noah. He also thinks with his dick and always constantly feels horny around Sophie. And even though he acted like a shit when Sophie expressed her affections for him, I felt sorry for him even though I couldn't blame him for not understanding what love was because he had been through so much in the past. However, the author does a good job of developing his character, particularly when he made a great effort to make amends with Sophie. This might sound a bit cheesy, but I admire how he utters these words to Sophie: “I do love you. I swear. I’ve done a shit job at realizing it, and an even shittier job admitting it to you. I love you more than racing itself. I’ve been miserable since you started avoiding me, where even spending a week without you is fucking torture. My chest aches, my sleep cycle blows, and my head throbs every fucking day. I can’t stand how I feel without you around. And I don’t want to anymore.” —Liam Zander On the contrary Sophie's characters radiated compassion and determination. I admired how she stood firm on her beliefs, setting clear boundaries and always knowing exactly what she wanted. She's also funny and doesn't back down, especially when it comes to defending the people she cares about. Sophie is a strong, kind person who makes an effect on everyone she comes into contact with. The romance might go off as insta-lust once more, but the closure was worthwhile and made up for it. Liam and Sophie's connection was incredibly intense and explosive, and their banter was remarkable. I kind of liked reading about their story, which had a good deal of drama at the end, as well as their cute and passionate moments. These two made me smile, greening, giggling with delight and weeping sobbing crying in dismay, and there's not in between. And even though the spice is a bit overwhelming to my liking, the way these two never stopped caring for one another is the story's turning point. “Everything with her feels so fucking right all the time. Somehow being with Sophie became as essential as eating and sleeping, and that thought alone makes my chest constrict.” —Liam Zander “With Liam, everything is exactly how I want it. He’s the man I want to spend all my time with. The man who continues to grow into a better person each day, no longer plagued by his past. The same one I dream of marrying one day.” —Sophie Mitchell Both the epilogue and the ending were quite charming and well worth the cost. I would also want to appreciate Aiden Snow and Desiree Ketchum for narrating this book. I adore the way they brought the characters to life. And the fact that we had a glimpse of Jax and Elena banter makes me even more intrigued. I also eager to see what the author will take us to. So, yes, I will definitely read Wrecked after this! 🔥💥🏃🏻‍♀️

“Love. One word I didn't understand until Maya.” —Noah Slade gasping wheezing weeping screaming greening giggling screaming throwing up. Okay, I finally had the chance to read this book after it rusted in my tbr pile yet again. This has been a roller coaster of me being not sure if I like it or wince at it. This book does contain some tedious passages, but they are not monotonous; rather, it improves as we move farther into the chapters. Despite my perplexity, I opt to keep going because this book is worthwhile in every way, specifically the remaining 30%. Noah started out as a tiresome character since he spends much of his time thinking with his dick and is constantly horny whenever he sees or is near Maya. But the author does a fantastic job of developing his character, particularly when he has the courage to tell Santiago how he feels and is willing to face the repercussions of his actions, especially after he utters this screaming wheezing throwing up words to him: “I didn’t fuck around with her. I love her. I’ll keep loving her through everything, no matter what you or anyone else says, or whatever you try to do to break us up. It’s insulting for you to even think I’d be with Maya to fuck around with your racing. She’s the end game. I don’t hook up with her for a shitty trophy, and sure as fuck not for a Championship win. I want everything with her. Everything after this.” —Noah Slade Maya, on the other hand, was compassionate, patient, and sweet. She is the kind of girl you would want as your best friend. I loved that she was not hesitant to establish limits and knew precisely what she wanted. The romance might begin as insta-lust with some of grimacing narratives, but the ending was worthwhile and made up for it. The banter between Noah and Maya was sensational, and their chemistry was truly scorching and intense. Some of the scenes were so heart-stopping and swoon-worthy that I couldn't stop giggling, kicking my feet, flapping my arms. These two made me smiling, greening, giggling with delight. The spice was perfect. And the way these two never failed to support one another and take responsibility for their own filthy mistakes was indeed another level. “Maya breathes new life into me, not wanting to piece me together but accepting all my jagged parts. I love the way she lies in bed reading books in the middle of the day, unbothered and shooing me away when she hits a good part. She brushes off my gruff attitude with a smile and a kiss because I can be a moody asshole. Most of all, I like how she makes me want to be a better person. For her, for me, for the whole goddamn world.” —Noah Slade “I can’t help looking over at the man who called dibs on me, the one with wavy dark hair and blue eyes that hypnotize me. A World Champion with a heart of platinum to match the trophy he carries above his head. The same man who says “I love you” instead of “good morning” every day. A self-proclaimed “sappy motherfucker” who begged me to wear his race car number today because he needs to mark me in every single way. A human wrecking ball who came into my life unannounced and smashed through all my expectations, leaving behind rubble, dust, and a fresh start. But most importantly, Noah Slade, the love of my life.” —Maya Alatorre The conclusion and the epilogue were really endearing and well worth every penny. My heart almost erupted with joy as it was felt. I also like appreciate Ramona Master and Aiden Snow for narrating this book. I love how they made the characters come to life. Even though I have only read the first book in the series, I already adore Santiago, so I am most looking forward to reading his books. However, the fact that we also had a glimpse of Liam and Sophie's banter further piques my interest. So yes, I'll go straight to read Collided after this!!!🔥💥🏃🏻‍♀️
