I still love Havoc & Miles and their misfit group of friends although some stuff was a bit repetitive which can be on me because I read the previous books recently so I still remembered stuff.
With that said, these people are ridiculous and they never fail to make me laugh sometimes. They are ridiculous but cute and endearing at the same time especially Menace. He is a dragon but he behaves like a cat through and through. He resembles my cat sometimes which is kinda scary 😅

We had two new additions to the family and I loved them. Winter was another victim of Geoff who suffered for so long but finally has a group of people who might seem like a bunch of weirdos but they go to war for him too so he had no choice but to stick with them.
Lorelei is another demon who was freed and is now in the care of Evan. I hope she flourish under his care and that we see her again.

This book a fun time and I look forward to read another Alice winters book.

I got this one when it was free and the blurb seemed like fun. I was not wrong!
I like the fact that this was between an FBI agent and an art thief. It was a cat and mouse type game for awhile until Falcon needed King's help in finding a very precious artifact that was stolen which may or may not cause war if fallen in the wrong hands.
I loved the group of agents Falcon had on his team and I liked how King fit in.
I liked the mission and how the story was paced. I obviously loved Falcon & King together especially with how grumpy Falcon was at first.
I'm interested in King's family so I will go back and read them at some point. 

You guys need to get your hands on this book when it comes out June 13th. You won’t regret it I promise.

When I saw the tropes, the only one that worried me was surprise baby. I'm picky when it comes to it because I just want it to be more than a misunderstanding or ghosting for no good reason but I still gave this a go because it's Cala Riley and I trust them. Let me just say they didn't disappoint me in any way especially regarding this trope.

Olivia & Mason had a special one night stand where they just wanted to explore their connection and they only knew their first names. When Olivia discovered that she was pregnant , she tried to find her baby daddy except she only knew he was Mason so she went to the hotel they were at that night and tried to figure out who he was except things didn't panned out as she hoped and that wasn't because Mason refused to take responsibility or because he didn't want the baby. I'll let you figure out the rest but I just wanted to put this here so that you can see what I mean when I say this trope has to be written in a way I will like.

I loved Mason. He was always stuck on Olivia and the way she rocked his world but he never managed to find her and he tried so when he walks into one of his hotel's and find Olivia at the reception desk, he couldn't believe his eyes and his luck too except she didn't want anything to do with him but Mason wanted her because he knows she is the one for him so he tried to figure out why she was acting the way she was. Suffice to say, when he sees why she is like that, he is upset but also amazed because he has a beautiful little girl with the woman that got away.
I swooned the whole damn book from that point forward. Mason did everything including sleeping on the cold floor and not his amazing bed because he wanted to be present for his little girl but also Olivia. I loved how in no moment did he waiver and thought he never wanted to be a dad or have the responsibility. He was all in the moment he learned he had a daughter so his plan now was to convince the mother of his baby that the right thing was for them to be a family because he loved them and not because it would look better for society. He was such a great father and I was a sucker for him. 🤭 

Olivia went through a lot being a single mom but she had her BFF, Cloe, to help her every step of the way. She didn't want anything to do with Mason but she still felt towards him the same connection they had that one night so she had to decide what to do about her new situation. I liked that Olivia pushed against Mason but she also gave in when needed. I think the authors did a great job in balancing Olivia's character.
There was a point when Mason was fed up with Olivia distrusting him and his motivations and she realized what she was doing and she apologize and to me that was a great scene showing what I mentioned above.
I loved the friendship between Olivia & Cloe. They are friendship goals.
Mason's group, Max (his brother), Bradley & Eli, was everything. I loved them whenever they were on page but especially when they fell in love with Mason's daughter the moment they saw her and they even had dates with the little girl.
One of the best moments in the story was when Mason took his daughter on a Daddy date so she could learn how men should treat her in the future. It was so damn cute! 🥹

I loved everyone in this story and I honestly can't wait for the next story in this series!

This was a delightful read  even when there were some time jumps ( every few months) in the beginning. Why did I like the time jumps? Because it started with meaningful stuff and not things that a character was doing that was irrelevant to the story if that makes sense. It also led us to where the romance needed to be in order to commence in a way because otherwise this story would've been another one entirely if they got involved when they met, either because of their circumstances at the times or because of where each character was at that point in their lives. It wouldn't have been as good as it is. I'm also impressed by this author since it's her debut book and I'm very excited for her next release.

Alex, Lord Westmore, is a business man first and foremost which is frowned upon by the ton. He doesn't care what others in society think about him, which I loved, and his focus is on building his empire and making it even more profitable than it is. Until he almost crashes against Lady Phoebe. I actually loved their first encounter and Phoebe definitely left an impression on Alex and because he isn't easily impressed especially by women, he just had to figure out why this Lady had such an impact on his mind.
I liked that he didn't shy away from the feelings Phoebe evoked in him as they were learning more and more about each other and later when they started their little deal.
I loved that once he "tasted" her, he knew there was no going back to a life where she wasn't in it and he went all in even when he never even pondered marriage. One thing you must know about Alex is that once he wants something or someone, he does everything in his power to get it. No matter what it takes or what society might think.

Phoebe is an orphan and her aunt took her in when she was very little but because of her mother's marriage, her reputation was sullied and she would never have a husband and was destined to be a wallflower. She knew that and was okay with that because she never wanted a place in society and she just wanted to make money on what she loved to do the most and be able to have a home of her own. Until she meets Lord Westmore at a party. 
I loved her! She was ambitious, direct, smart and kind.
I do think she gave a bit too much of herself to her cousin without thinking of herself. I didn't like parts where Catherine, her cousin, seemed like she took and took from her and never really acknowledged what Phoebe wanted. It was always what she wanted and Phoebe just went along with it. Phoebe was also very selfless to her detriment sometimes so I don't put all the blame on the cousin.

I loved the new friends she made along the way and I'm excited for their stories.
I liked how they finally had their hea although the fact that it took so long for Phoebe to come to terms with the fact that she didn't mind being a Countess if she could have Alex as a husband was a bit frustrating to me. However I believe she meant to go to him before she received the package and I liked that she was the one that her feelings on the table so to speak and I liked even more that Alex didn't give anything away until she did. That whole interaction was as it was supposed to be.
I loved them and I can't wait to hopefully see them in future books.

Favorite Quotes:

" They've kept your light dimmed, your beauty hidden behind those peasant clothes you wear, but that is going to stop now. You deserve to wear the finest clothing. You deserve to be respected, and I swear to you I will do just that. You needn't fear that people will ridicule you because that will not happen. "

" You are simply making your own mark, creating your own dynasty. Some say that the measure of a man is upon the field of battle, or in the political arena. But I've come to think that the true measure of a man is how much he is loved by his family and friends. You took a broken woman and her equally broken children and created something fine and whole.

This was such a beautiful story. I loved the romance and the family Caledonia & Thor created together.
Thor has a wonderful family so I love seeing them be so accepting of Callie especially Thor's sister Nicola.
Thor was such a great man too. He may be a Knight for the King but he is very compassionate and respects women and treats them with care because that's what his parents taught him.
He was everything and more that Callie needed and I just love following their story and see their hea come to fruition.
Callie was a lost soul once her children were taken away by her then husband. She was going through the motions and just trying to forget the sorrow she lived every single day since that happened.
I loved her so much. She was distrustful at first but once she saw Thor was worth it, she went for it.

I loved seeing both Callie & Thor gain the trust of her children but especially Thor when it came to Jane. It was just beautiful seeing it unfold. They formed a big and beautiful family and I can't help but feel proud of them like Thor's father is.

I didn't care much for the "villain" pov. I could've done without it so I skimmed those parts and that's basically why it's not a full 5 star book for me. i truly loved the romance and everything else.

Elsbeth is an avid student and one of her interests and studies are all sorts of rocks so she goes to Spain to explore the caves that have some interesting rocks and such but before she goes on this journey, she assures her other classmates and friends that she will marry once she comes back and secure their place at the school.
I must say I was quite bored with the rocks and all of that so I skimmed parts of the story mostly in the beginning but once we get introduced to Teddy things become more interesting.

Teddy has once asked Elsbeth hand in marriage but she refused him and broke his heart hence why he had been traveling abroad. I liked who Teddy became after he discovered he was a father and how much that changed his views.
I quite liked Elsbeth & Teddy together however that did not last long because there was a misunderstanding and rightfully so Teddy reacted accordingly imo. That could've very much been avoided and I don't get why Elsbeth didn't tell Teddy what was going on especially after they got involved. On top of that, the fact that she didn't intend on ever telling him made me even more frustrated and totally made me compassionate towards Teddy and what he was feeling. I liked what she did to get him back but again all of it could've been avoided.

I was glued to my kindle. Conspiracy against the crown? Check! A fierce fmc with a prickly exterior but with a kind heart? Check! A mmc who had no other choice that accepted what the queen demanded but ultimately falls in love with his new wife? Also check!
I loved Sophie & Nash together.

Nash wasn’t excited to be forced into a marriage but he sought out to make the most of it from the very beginning and while Sophie made it very hard at first, he didn’t gave up. I liked that about him. He just couldn’t help but be enamored by her because she isn’t like the other ladies in the ton.

Sophie had a bone to pick with Nash since she was 15 and unbeknownst to Nash, he broke her heart but now they are married. Sophie struggled because she found it hard to let herself love again because he was careless once even though he didn’t view her like that when they were younger. 
The beauty of this story was seeing Sophie let herself trust again and hope that Nash would take care of her heart.

Nash decision to help his friend’s daughter without telling Sophie was very unnecessary imo. Just why would he subject himself to it all when he knew how hard it was for Sophie to let him in. There were other things happening so I don’t think it was necessary.
Alas he repented for his dumb decision and I like that Sophie didn’t give in right away but it also frustrated me a bit.

The whole conspiracy thing took a turn I wasn’t expecting at all but I liked it. I’m kind of sad for Merrit though but I hope I’ll see him again in the future.

I had a blast with this story but I wish there was a bit more after Worth & Aurora finally came to their senses. After their back and forward, I needed a bit more of them together but other than that I really enjoyed them, both together but also individually.

Aurora was a breath of fresh air in the sense that she was the daring type. After what her and her family went through, a bit of gossip wouldn’t stop her from satisfying her curiosity. I loved her and I liked that she in the end wanted to live with no regrets and went after Worth.

Worth was scarred for life when it comes to love but Aurora penetrated through his hardened heart and never left. I loved that he chose to forgive the woman who did him wrong in order to fully appreciate the woman Aurora was and to move forward with her.

I also loved the side romance story we had going on and I’m glad the auntie had her hea too.

First things first, since Dear Grumpy Boss I knew Miles had a lot of potential and Weston ended up making me angry for things he said to Miles even when I understood where he was coming from. Point is, it was very clear for me that Miles was hurting very deeply and he was asking silently for help. This gold retriever of a man needs all the hugs in the world!
I honestly loved everything about this story. I had a bleeding heart for Miles from the very beginning and I relate to Daisy in some ways so this was a perfect storm for me. It was also the way Julia described things like hugs especially from Miles pov. It was so wholesome!
It's embarrassing the amount of times this book made me cry but I just couldn't help myself. These two were meant to be.

I love Miles! I love to see more of what he was up to. What he was like on the job but also how he was doing on a personal level. He worked on himself to become a better person for those around him while struggling with addiction but with help of a therapist and his dear friend Saoirse, he did it even when some days are harder than other but what I loved the most about it was that Daisy celebrated him everytime he hit a milestone after he met her and not only her but her family too. Like how wholesome is that? It was such a beautiful moment! I'm so proud of the person Miles has become.
Even through it all, he maintained his precious heart. He is such a good person and hurt me to see the despicable person his mother was and how much that weighed on him because in the end he is a bleeding heart type of character. He loves helping others even when it might cost him a part of his soul. I love that Daisy was all about protecting him in that sense which made me love her even more.

Miles has a very specific kink and I loved it 🤭. It was my first time reading it and I feel like I loved it because it was Miles if that makes sense. I just loved the whole thing!

Reed, Daisy's brother, was a big piece in this story in my eyes and he elevated Miles even more for me because Miles saw himself in Reed and he did everything in his power to help and that was another wholesome part of this.
Weston redeemed himself by the end imo and it was a beautiful moment too and what Miles needed.
I probably have more to say but that's it for now.
