I LOVED this heartwarming tale of golf, love, and redemption. Wells and Josephine's unlikely partnership and blossoming romance had me rooting for them from start to finish. Wells' transformation from a grumpy golfer to a sweet and thoughtful man was incredible to witness, and Josephine's unwavering faith in him was truly inspiring. The book was a perfect blend of humor, heat, and heart, and I couldn't put it down!

I was immediately saying yes once I saw the word Highlands. Anything with Scotland, count me in. This series (which will have 5 books when finished) is incredible. The characters have so much chemistry, the plots and mysteries that are sprinkled in, amazing. I highly recommend you picking them up. Their spice would be around a 4 and you can count on that sexual tension coming into play with each book!

Werewolves mixed into the human world, fake mates, grumpy/sunshine, he falls first, all of my favorite troupes. This book was an absolute hit and Lana is now on my favorite authors list. She did incredible with the spice and story revolving around the characters. I highly recommend you pick up this book!

Not going to lie, I had a hard time with this book. If you took out the middle then it would be okay, it's just that there was still so much history and world building still, that the plot barely moved forward. I need more action, and I didn't get it. There will be one more book coming so i'm hoping there is alot of wrap up and excitement!

The only thing that can save the realms now is the one thing more powerful than the Fates.

Sera and Nyktos are being held captive by Kolis, convincing Kolis that she is Sotoria won’t be easy, though – not even with a lifetime of training. However, surviving Kolis is only one part of the battle. The Ascension is upon her, and Sera is out of time.

Grumpy/ Sunshine are my FAVORITE! and and and its spiiicey *clenches fist* Yes. It's giving small town, its giving "let me help you find a wife but secretly I love you". You know? Like its a solid, sweet, perfect rom-com. Also my sister and I are about to start Throne of Glass series!

An incredible blend of cowboys, brother's best friend, slow burn, and lots of spice! Lyla really nailed this debut novel. Relatable and like-able characters from the start, and now i'm invested and need the next book now!

In this episode we talk about Wildfire by Hannah Grace, and it easily is in my top 3 books I have read. I wish I would've read it when it came out because I am putting it on my list for favorite books of 2023. Aurora is an incredible main female character, so self aware and just wants to be loved. Russ is shy and sensitive, I loved watching his growth and confidence in this book.
