Ali Hazelwood you absolute legend, you’ve done it again 💚💚💚

Tell me how a writer can constantly keep releasing AMAZING books with intelligent plots and mind blowing tension and emotion the way @alihazelwood does?

I had enjoyed Bride, and I think I’ve entered a whole new dimension with Mate. THIS MAN. I didn’t think there could be so much personality, dry humor, emotional intensity and depth in 400 pages for a man who’s supposedly encompassing the grumpy MMC role. I AM IN LOVE WITH KOEN. I need approximately 10-15 business days to recover (if that’s even possible) because I have been altered on a fundamental level. Every time this man has spoken, I have swooned and I don’t say that lightly, not after reading god knows how many romances already.

It sounds like I’m only pining after the MMC well you’re wrong because I LOVED Serena with equal measure and in equal part because of how much I felt connected with the way she was. She basically was a fictional reader girlie (in spirit I don’t think actually reads in the book lol) with thoughts that would make you laugh for days. UGH there’s just so many good things to say and so little space to do it.

Just read it. Do yourself a favor. And if you’re picking up Ali Hazelwood for the first time, may you fall into the best reading spiral ever exploring the world of Ali’s amazing MMCs 🔥❤️.

Brady is by far one of the cutest, most adorable MMCs I've met!!

This whole book felt so warm and cosy and sweet. It wasn't intense or full of twists and may have had a bit of a slow start to it, but the way the book progresses, it just makes you fall more in love Brady and Collins and this weird spooky world they're a part of without even knowing it. I think the nuanced sub plots felt very well placed within the broader romance so it felt like Brady and Collins had their own mini journeys within their larger romance one. Also, the little call back to Meadowlark with Amos and Cam was just chef's kiss.

I'm actually so intrigued with what's going to happen with Clarke that I can't wait for the next book to come out!! There's no doubt about this book for me though, full 5 stars!

Everything about this book was AMAZING!! ❤️✨❤️✨

After such a long time I laughed, I giggled and was beside myself at how adorably beautiful a simple love story could be! Wilder and Scottie were the best duo I didn’t think I needed in my life. Honestly I can’t get over how good the banter was and how Meghan Quinn has made the classic fake marriage trope feel so unique here.

The way Scottie worked through her grievances and the way the story opens us up to Wilder is gorgeous. It’s not the book to dealing with grief but I have to say it allows the reader to feel for every character no matter how small and that in itself had won me over the instant I realized it.

Honestly I’d tried a few other Meghan Quinn books before and I wasn’t the biggest fan but this has completely changed me. I can’t wait to read more!! ❤️❤️

The way I ATE THIS BOOK UP. It was super fun to read, so witty, so hot, so romantic. Honestly, after being in a slump for a bit it felt so refreshing to read this!!

Maverick Miller might just make one of my top book boyfriends list because damn that man knows what a woman wants. And the way the book supports its FMCs is amazing!! Strong, independent and intelligent women who aren’t afraid to also rock heels and dresses and fawn over girly things are top tier in this book!!

I’m already so floored I can’t wait to get started on book 2!! 💜💜💜
