Thank you to the author and Valentine PR for an advanced listener copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was my first book by this author and I'm very intrigued to read more. I loved the narrators and think they did an awesome job. From the minute I started this book it was fast paced, funny and had a lot of heart. I loved how gone Mason was for Sorel. And I loved how they came together so unexpectedly and had a lot of things thrown at them and how the navigated them. I'm intrigued to read more by this author!

This was my first book by the author, and I'd seen a lot of tiktoks and social media posts with quotes that got me interested. But I feel like between the pacing of the story, the messiness of the characters, their lack of communication things fell flat which is why it dropped to 3.5 stars. I think I will like the next book better based on tropes, but I don't feel rushed to read it and continue on right now.

Thank you to the author and Luna literary PR for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. I loved this story, and it was a perfect way to end this series. I loved Gigi and Marcus's story and how they got together. I feel like Gigi got Marcus and his way of connecting. And Marcus is one of the few male main characters I can relate to. I'm sad this series is over but can't wait for what the author comes out with next!

This was my first book of this author's and I think she creates a very cool world and characters. There were certain twists I did see coming and some I didn't see coming. I can't wait to see where the series goes from here!

Thank you to happily booked PR and the author for a copy of this book for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the author showed the different aspects of bdsm. The right and wrong ways to experience kink. I loved getting Tyson's book and loved him with Kathy. I can't wait to read the rest of this series!

I think the idea and premise of the story was great, but the execution fell flat. I think alot of the issues the main characters had would have been better had they just communicated. Keeping secrets from each other and not communicating bugs me. I'm not super in a rush to read book two but I do want to find out how it ends.

Man oh man! Catherine Cowles doesn't disappoint! I loved this book and loved Cope and Sutton. Love a single parent romance! I loved how Cope and Sutton were brought together, and how their relationship unfolded. Especially loved the bond between Cope and Luca! I'm so excited to see where the series goes from here!

Man Catherine is the queen of romantic suspense. I loved this book. I loved Thea and Shep. I loved how he built up trust, and the healing journey they both went on. I liked how there wasn't just one bad guy, and how the story unfolded. The twists and turns and spice were well balanced! Can't wait for the next book in the series!

Catherine Cowles does not disappoint. I was curious about Anson ever since reading her Lost and Found series. I loved Anson and Rhodes. Their story of loss and heartache, how they came together and healed. This story kept me guessing and I didn't solve the mystery until the big reveal. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I loved this little novella. It was cute and had just the perfect amount of mystery and plot. I almost wish this had been a full length novel I wanted more!
