Favorite Quote: "Because a love like ours is as boundless as the universe herself. And she knew what she was doing when she brought you to me.” 

I was stuck between 3 and 4 stars for this but the ending solidified my decision.
Ford is THE ABSOLUTE SWEETEST MAN EVER. Seriously the tattoo, the way he treats her, THE FACT THAT HE WAITED FOR HER. I just love him so much. 

Emerson is a darling of an FMC I liked her very very much. 

I enjoyed reading this book very much. There was a time where it lagged and got a bit boring (mainly in the middle before the whole Easton confrontation) then it picked back up and kept going until the end!! The revelations WOW. I was at the edge of my seat!

I like Hawk but something about Aspen I just stand. I really really didn't like her at all. 

I mean I loved Hawk's mother. Her ending was so sweet and sad at the same time.
 Hawk's storyline was amazing. 

Aspen just kind of came across as a whiny victim. And she had no character development throughout the story. She kind of just remained the same the entire time. Like okay I understand her fiance died. I understand she had a tough relationship with her mother. But that was her entire personality and it was just irritating.

I am speechless. Wow. I have so many thoughts. 

Okay let's start with Aryx... ummm 1. Was not expecting you to come in the way you did 😂😂 the reveal just took me out! I had to DM Dyson because my head was SPINNING!!! Ughhh I just love Aryx. So so muchhh. He's so sweet. I CRIEDDDD (don't want to spoil anything but iykyk) 

Elpis. I'm conflicted. She's a badass. She's strong, she's fierce, she can defend herself but at the same time BITCH YOU BROKE ARYX'S HEART! I wanted to slap her soooooo much. 

Love Arcturas FOREVER. Who doesn't want a wolf right? 

Tethys. You psychotic bitch you. I love her so much 😂😂😭😭 I'm sorry I know she's the bad guy but I loved her.

Favorite Quote: There are things the Fates cannot see, but your willing sacrifice should pay the required price. 

The contrast in the bonded relationship between Safiya & Oci and Xandrina & Abrax is sooooo fascinating. 

Xandrina is so kind hearted and open. She will offer the clothes off her back to anyone. At the same time, she can defend herself. She's strong and independent and I love it! 

Safiya knew from the start what her destiny was and she was prepared. 

This is a really good read. I can't wait for book 2!

Well this was a first for me on so many different levels. First cozy paranormal, first Halloween Romance and best of all first Sapphic Romance. And I LOVED IT!!! 

I had so much fun reading this! Harlow and Jordyn are sooooooo cuteeeee!! Ughh I just love them so much as a couple.
Admittedly Iris is my favorite! She was so sarcastic, witty and powerful. I had so much fun with this book.

The pain and family trauma Pip & Aiden suffered through made my heart ache! So young and all they had was each other I understand why she was so hurt he left.
They were soul mates through and through. They were meant for each other. It was so obvious that they were 2 broken halves of the same heart.
I loved their love story so much! This was just amazing to read. Would definitely recommend!

Porter is a freaking psycho!! Like bro leave the dang girl alone she dont want your sorry ass. I love that Ainsley STOOD UP for herself unlike the 1st book. She became a badass bitch and I stan!

 Mason is a lovable dummy I just wanted to shake him and hug him so much. He's so in his head he lost the 1 person who's been his home since they were young.

 "I'm not perfect but I'm your perfect someone. Someone you can call home" brought tears to my eyes. 

 This book is just amazing. Wow. Just wow. I love this couple so much. And their nicknames for each other 😭😭😭

This book is very perfectly named.

Every character is broken to some extent and it is heartbreaking.

Ainsley admittedly frustrated me but I could understand her. She exhibits all the classic traits of an abused woman and every time she blamed herself or took Porter back I just wanted to shake her. My heart broke for her when she lost James. And the fact that she thinks she's too broken to be loved is just so sad. She's a product of her upbringing and her environment and it definitely made her vulnerable for Porter to take advantage.

Mason is amazing. He's so protective and there by her side every step of the way as much as he's able to. I don't completely get why he's so secretive and mysterious about what he does but I'm sure to him it's a way to protect her.

He's just amazing and I hope he opens up himself to being with Ainsley. His parents really messed him up.

I absolutely adored this book so much!!

Favorite Quote: Let me have my one peace. My one love. My Elle 

• SPICY Beauty & The Beast Retelling
• Abduction
• Fantasy 

This is the most spicy retelling I have ever read and I loved every second of it. 
Willow Winters has taken the basic lore of the Beauty & The Beast and put such an amazing spin on it while still staying true to the story at hand.
Elle (ha Belle, Elle get it?) is a lot stronger and more resilient than she seems. She's smart enough to be afraid knowing that the best has the ability to hurt her but also to know that he won't.
She's an amazing FMC and I adored her.
The Beast! Wow. The internal struggle of the two counterparts fighting against each other for control but coming together to protect the woman they love was fantastic to read. 
One thing I would say I LOVE Willow Winters' writing style. It is impeccable and addictive. You can't stop reading once you start!
I sooo enjoyed this! If you like The Beauty & The Beast and if you like spice I definitely recommend you read this!

This was suchhhh a good book!
I finished this in a few hours. I couldn't stop reading.

Lorali is so selfless and devoted and such a good FMC. She's relatable, she's strong, she's vulnerable. I just loved her so much.

Eldric oh my goodness. He got added to my book boyfriends list so fast. The way he took care of Lorali every step of the way. How he protected her. Ughhhh he's amazing.

When he said:
"With every breath, you are safe
With every heartbeat, you are strong.
With every moment, you are loved.”
My heart melted!

The ending was okay. Kind of lackluster but I throughly enjoyed the book on a whole!!
