    This was kind of a fun read, and I liked that the story throws you right into the action from the start. But just like with the previous book in the series, I really missed actually seeing the MCs fall in love and get to know each other. We’re basically told right away that they’re deeply into each other, but outside of the physical attraction, I never fully understood why. In my opinion, there just wasn’t enough emotional connection or meaningful conversations between them. Some of Hunter’s behavior also gave me the ick a little. Like him sleeping with her without protection without checking whether she was okay with it, and also pushing her to drive her home after he had been drinking. And with how it was said that nobody could “tame” Maggie, I expected her to come across a lot more confident, wild and just free-spirited. But aside from occasionally being bratty towards Hunter, it felt like she was actually pretty quiet and submitted to him pretty quickly. That said, the tension between them was pretty good. And overall, I think this is a solid pick if you’re in the mood for a cliché cowboy romance and just want something fun and easy to read without having to use too much brainpower 😄

    Another book in this series that I binge in one day—3 hours to be exact. I ate this all up and would've continued to book 3 if it was released.

    Both NoFear and Bubbles have been easy bingeable reads. There's a plot that drives the book forward, in this case we have a bit of a murder mystery going on. But the romance and all the characters is where this series shines, like it is with every other Tate James book.

    It's crazy how many love interests are in this book, yet each of their voice and personalities are distinct, never confusing the reader who's who. Ironically, the one who's the best friend is actually my favorite! Skye is a TRUE bestie, always bringing so much lightness and support to Noah's life.

    But my gosh, I have all the heart-eyes for Minho, Torin, and Ace! I am so feral for them! There's this one very minor scene in the pantry that left me so gagged and in need of so much more of it!

    The cliffhanger for this one left me reeling!! I have no idea what to think, while also having so many theories that aren't probably true. Yes, this cliffie was worse than book one, but now I'm even more excited for book 3!

    When I started NoFear, I didn't really know what to think except that it was probably a Dark Romance—I was so wrong! This is more of a contemporary poly romance series that is FUN! I've truly had a blast so far being in this world. I love the dynamic all of the characters have, even the ones that haven't fully developed into a romance yet, but I know it's coming thanks to all of the crumbs.

    Tate James really knows how to write an addicting why choose. I'd even go as far as to say that if someone has never read a why choose, they could start with this series.

    I received an ARC for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
