I have missed these characters, and it is so good to jump back into The Fallen world. We start in the past where Cleo & Mei first meet and become friends. They went through so much as children that they created a family of their own. 

Then we get back to the present, where Cleo is trying to recover from her attack, but she needs Mei. Henning is certain he is not letting Mei back into his heart. They butt heads, but both want the same thing. They want their family to be safe regardless of the price.  

I love this world. We finally understand what happened to Mei, and we see that Henning just can’t help but be a caveman about her. It was perfect! I couldn’t put this book down. We see The Fallen circle their wagons, and take care of business. Rocky’s Off White Knight can’t help but let her help him. I LOVED this book!

I absolutely loved this book! Foxx is my favorite! Sorry Banksy! lol I wanted Foxx’s story from the beginning. The grumpy standoffish ones are the best. This one did not disappoint in any way. Bianca is a strong woman. She stood up for herself, and thrived in every way. She is funny, and knows her worth. We finally get to see from Foxx’s point of view. I love that she got him to loosen up, and talk to her. This Carmicheal couple is my favorite! This author always pulls me into her stories, and makes me fall in love with her characters!

I absolutely loved this book! Raia & Cohen were perfect. Their chemistry was off the charts, and to read them find their way to one another was heartwarming. They were also funny. This fake relationship felt meant to be. I loved how they supported one another.

I love this author! I liked this book. Wyatt was my kind of cowboy. Erin had to work to break through and make friends because of her husband she was trying to divorce. I did love that Wyatt was more open minded to her, and that his family was fast to follow. I loved the ending though! I love fall festivals! ❤️

It had been a while since I read anything in this series. I enjoyed being back with the Dark Haven characters. This one had an English dominant that had relocated to San Diego, and a submissive that had to run from an abusive relationship. Ethan saved Piper more than once. I thought this one was sweet. He treated her lovingly from the beginning. Her only family sells her out to the master who abused her. She has a great core group of friends, and Ethan sees her worth. I really liked being back in this world.

I loved this! I love surprise babies. I felt their connection over the conference table. When he looked up at her, I felt that punch in the gut. I loved that he was all in before he knew everything. It was the perfect soulmate story!

I loved Dutch & Cadence’s story. They beat the odds, and even though they are so young. They fought the whole way through, but it was them. He wanted to take care of her and her sister. I loved that about him.

I loved this! It was short and sweet, but we got to see more of Evan and Lilah. When we first meet Lilah, Evan appears to not like her at all. Mainly because she was there to replace Noah. I love when rockstars fight their feelings. I loved Lilah. I also love this “finding your coal” business too. 🤣

Once again I find another author to add to my must read list. I loved this age gap/rockstar romance. Throw in babies & kids, and I am hooked. My heart will dance for joy! This book was also focused on a little boy that had been through way too much. He stole my heart the first time he said “Daddy”. Chris is desperately trying to hold the band together, and bond with his son. Jessie has definitely been through way too much in her life, but I loved that she poured her life back into helping other kids. I loved it! Highly recommend!

I absolutely love Penny & Professor Hunter! I love going back and reading his reactions in his words. This book took me back to all the road blocks thrown up against them, and how strong it makes them. 

Isabella… she should definitely come with a warning. I dislike her so much. I’d forgotten how much I hated her. 

The author gave us some steamy scenes, and let me tell you we needed a warning about the funny ones too. I was laughing so hard about James and the boys at a party. I seriously thought I was gonna pee in my pants. Believe me you want to read this book.
