Amelia loves her good friend, Avery. So much so that she agrees to do the stupidest thing ever.

A stranger photo shoot.

You know the type. The photographer takes photos of two individuals. Two individuals that, until that day, have never met in their life.

The moment she shows up at the photo shoot, she knows that she made a terrible decision.

Why? Because the total stranger about to be in an intimate photo shoot with her is the hottest thing that’s ever walked the streets of Kilgore, Texas. If not the entire US of A.

***

Adam wasn’t sure why the hell he agreed to something so stupid.

Call it temporary lapse of sanity.

When the photographer who shot his photo for the Kilgore Police Department’s benefit calendar asked him for a favor, he couldn’t say no. Not without looking like a jerk seeing as it was benefiting the Fallen Officer Foundation that he played a rather large part in.

Whatever it was that made him agree, he quickly realizes that it’s not worth it. Not when he walks into the studio and sees the massive bed with blood-red sheets dominating the middle of the room.

So uncomfortable he is at the sight, he’s about to head straight out the door and not look back when she walks in.
Amelia steals his breath away with just one glance, and all of a sudden, getting this stranger into his arms with his mouth on hers sounds like the best idea ever.

Any Day Now had me wanting to look up how to get involved in a stranger shoot so I could experience what Adam and Amelia did. But knowing my luck, I'd be paired with the creepiest guy out there, traumatizing my azz. So yeah, I passed on that, but I live for the connection that sparked between these characters at first sight!

Did the inventor of sweatpants ever consider what he was doing to the female population? Or do you think he knew exactly what he was doing and just smiled?


Seriously though, I loved pretty much everything about this book. From Adam and Amelia's meet cute, to the uncertainty (from both sides) of whether the other person wanted to start something, to the history they shared without even realizing it, to their families being AWESOME, to their friends being AMAZING, to the EVERYTHING that made me fall so deeply in love with this story. It was obvious, from the start, that these two were going to share something truly beautiful.

His tongue felt like liquid heat as he kissed me. He tasted of beer and man, and I wanted this kiss to go on forever.


There was some drama with a celebrity that I found absolutely hilarious and I liked how the author allowed this element to evolve. It wasn't over before it begun. It gained momentum and it hit a climax and I enjoyed the heck out of it and what it brought out of the characters. Not to say that this couple wasn't set before, but this really solidified them for me.

I may have known her for a very short period of time, but I knew in that instant that she was going to be it for me.


Obviously I loved this story. Adam was an incredibly strong, sweet and swoon-worthy hero. Amelia was smart, rebellious, stubborn, and could more than hold her own. Their story was sexy and full of heart and well worth all of the stars!

5 ‘The Loving Type’ Stars

WOWWWWWW… I have found a new KPD SWAT favorite and is name is Adam Stoker!!! And a new girl crush, Amelia Mackenzie! These two are just as epic as their love story, all the stars and all the love for Any Day Now!


I knew going in that this book had one of my fav tropes, strangers instantly connected – here in a stranger photoshoot – but I never once expected their attraction, and chemistry to be this INSANELY hot and deep. It was like it was truly meant to be.

It literally was from that very first eye contact that they were captivated for one another, and as they got to know each other better, and their incredibly personalities shone through, that I fell deeper and deeper, right along it them.

It was like I had known him forever.
As if he did know my deepest and darkest thoughts.
As if he knew that I wanted to jump his bones, and he felt the exact same way when it came to me.

Nothing is too soon when it comes to you and me.



Adam is the definition of perfect Alpha hero, protective, possessive, but oh so caring and devoted to his woman, he instantly recognized Amelia as important to him and his future. I specially adored and swoon hard at his completely straightforwardness and openness about his feelings, and oh boy was he all in from the get go. Truly definition of of perfect book boyfriend!

Amelia, I already knew she would be awesome, just going by who her parents are – one of my fav LLV couples, my silver fox Silas and the kickass Sawyer – and her story just proved me right. She was so strong, opinionated and overall kickass, I wanted to jump right into the pages and befriend the hell out of her. Being used to rebuff her OTT overprotective father and brothers, she knew how to stand her ground, I made me love her all the more for it. Told, serious girl crush here.

Jesus Christ, I was going to marry the daughter of the real world’s Chuck Norris.
The man really was that badass—Silas Mackenzie. Chuck Norris really wouldn’t know what hit him.
It was not easy being the daughter of Silas Mackenzie, but even harder being his daughter’s boyfriend. But Adam knew how to stand his ground, he’s a ALPHA male himself, after all, lol.


Lani Lynn Vale created one again a unmeasurably fulfilling read in Any Day Now. The lightheartedness, the humor, the sexiness, the banter, the interconnected relationships between not only the brilliant main couple, but all these interesting past and future characters that left me with and immense heart warming and happy feeling that very few books manage to give me these days. Proof #2189764825941 of LLV’s powerful writing talent. Already dying for the rest of the KPD SWAT to fall. Specially Sammy. I. Can’t. Wait!!!!

“That day,” he said, telling me, just like he always did, what that day meant to him. “I had no clue how much I needed you. I had no clue that, in a few short days, you would be the air I need to breathe.”

I wondered about the chemistry that models could feel while doing shoots and this book framed it in a fun way. Amelia and Adam definitely lit up when around one another. With that LLV flavor added, a dash of suspense and you’ve got a great addition to the series. Loved it. Final rating 4.5 stars.

I found a good story!!!! its soo good I enjoyed it so much!!! and boy this one was juicy and steamy and fun and I loved it. And I havent read the others in this series I dont think you need to.

Ameila is a badass sassy and she can hold her own thanks to her overprotective family, shes enjoys making them mad at what she does or where she works in. And as a favor to her friend she's doing a Strangers photoshoot. Meaning what that is never met the person and doing sexy poses. And when she meets Swat member Adam!! GUYS ADAM IS A KING!! sweet, funny, handsome SWAT MEMBER a fucking yum!! You'll love Adam like LOVE him also he likes Target lol so wins in my book. Lord these two have a connection that is steamy and delicious. It does take them a few moments to start dating but their connection is insta. But beside that our girl Amelia has a huge problem she kinda deck out a celebrity who was harassing her and for that she has fangirl harassing her.

And boy these fangirls are ruthless.. and it takes everything Adam and her family to keep her safe and make sure shes healthy since she does have a medical condition.

No ow drama tiny om drama (asshole celeb), No cheating, drama, slight secondary charas, Sexy times, No virgins NO MANWHORE(Both talked about dating life and past) both been awhile.

This book was exactly what I was looking for! It was a quick, fun, and intriguing contemporary romance and it made the time go by that much quicker. This is actually the first book in quite some time that I've read and enjoyed by this author. I loved that there was a solid storyline going throughout this whole book that kept me interested.

The chemistry between Amelia and Adam was off the charts from the beginning! I will admit it was a little too insta-lovey but it worked for this story. I liked their banter and how they actually used their words and communicated with each other. There was no unnecessary drama between them throughout the story and it was pure bliss!

The ending was something I vaguely knew how it would happen based on past books by this author because she does have a formula down for these books. What I didn't foresee was how intense it would be. The author's writing has definitely improved since I've read a book by her and I like where it's going.

The Audio Book:

The narration was great! I enjoyed both narrator's narrations. The male narrator even won me over (considering I usually dislike guys narrating books). All the characters were distinguishable from each other in each narration and there were no strange background noises. Though my one wish would have been for this to have been dual narrated.

I am really enjoying this series so much but every now and then I feel a little bit left out. I just know that if I had read the previous series that Lani Lynn Vale has written I would have more background info on some of these characters. Not that I still don't love everything about these books reading them without that knowledge just I know that there's a level I'm missing.

Although with my goldfish memory I probably wouldn't remember most of it and would only get a few random ah huh moments. So, I guess long story short I love that I know I have all these extra stories I can read when I get to the end of this series.

Adam and Amelia's story was instant attraction despite the fact that they had so much in common and so many family and friend over laps. And I felt their chemistry from the first meet cute. Because that was a seriously, unique, meet cute.

As all the characters in the series Amelia was strong, sweet, and very self-sufficient with an awesome family. In fact, her family is the reason I wish I'd read the earlier books, I loved them and want to know more. Adam was so awesome. He knew how he felt and what he wanted, and he was all in.

I am so glad I finally started reading this author. And I am dreading how quickly these calendar pages seem to be turning.

What is 1:46 AM me doing you may ask? Oh, just realizing that I have to get up in four hours and regretting nothing since it was Any Day Now that made me throw away any sort of adult logic I pretend to have. I wonder how many times I'm going to misspell words or make zero sense while I sit here and gush about the fact that even after years and years of reading Lani's books she never fails to impress me? I guess we're all about to find out.
What's better than two of my all time favorite couples from Lani Lynn Vale? Their children falling in love and becoming some sort of double the awesome epic couple that's what. Adam and Amelia are the literal definition of instant attraction. They go lightspeed from the second they meet and don't slow down a bit. The heat, the chemistry, the sarcasm. All of it is OFF. THE. CHARTS. in this book.

I love the idea of Stranger Photo Shoots. I've seen them on Instagram and Facebook and they look absolutely adorable.

Adam Stoker agreed to the stranger photo shoot because Avery (Fries Before Guys) promised to enter the photos into the Fallen Hero's Auction, something near to his heart but Derek, a fellow SWAT member and Avery's husband, only told him it was "photos and stuff" when Adam finds out what Avery really wants his close to walking out. That is until Amelia walks into the room. Talk about insta-love. From the get go Adam gave head over heals vibes.

Working at the new strip club in town Amelia does what she wants, her Father Silas Mckenzie (Counter To My Intelligence) and big brothers Sebastian (Lights To My Siren) and Sam (Boomtown) are that over protective type that she will do just about anything to piss them off. But when Amelia McKenzie agrees to one for her best friend Avery she not only get to that, she totally gets more than she bargained for with drool worthy Adam.

The Good
Amelia is one bad b***h. She stands her ground and totally holds her own at everything. Her character is one of my favourite Females in this series. I defiantly love that even though she's shy, she is totally outgoing and fun.
The Main Bad The antagonist for this story is probably every D-List jerk out there. You could feel something was gonna happen and it was gonna be his fault. It didn't play out the way I thought it would so I'm really glad for that! Predictable but totally not at the same time.
The Bonds I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again. These boys! Their friendships melt the heart a little. Almost every single one of them is Alpha Male material, but their ego's don't get in the way of their job or being there for each other. Having 12 guys on one team seems like cause for tension, but they banter, they go out, they have fun. and I'm here for it
The Bread Crumbs LLV lays out the little clues and hints about what's to come. It never takes away from the main characters and their story but it does keep you engaged and wondering how the next person gets their HEA, it seems so ingrained in the story that unless you know what to look for it goes unnoticed.

The Not So Good
The insta-love vibes: Don't get me wrong, I love a good man that's not afraid to admit his feelings, but when you know I love you is on the tip of their tongue before the first word is even spoken between the couple, well, it doesn't do it for me. BUT in saying that. Amelia took way longer to say it back and you knew it wasn't just because Adam said it first.
Character Apperances: Okay you see above when I mentioned Amelia's family, well that's Three Books in two different series' not to mention her sister probably has a book too. I haven't read anything aside from the SWAT series' so KPD SWAT and SWAT 2.0 so when these characters pop up and their written in a way that we should know who they are without getting confused(this doesn't happen all the time) it kinda bugs me. I know, I know. I'm probably one of the only ones that hasn't read everything LLV and a lot of you aren't confused when names start to drop. But for newbies, it's kinda annoying and confusing. or maybe that's just me.

The Final Star
All up this book was fun, cute and an easy one sitting read. I enjoyed it and can't wait to see what Mr September brings.

Off the charts chemistry…

Whew… I feel almost singed from the steaminess that was Amelia and Adam’s relationship! That first meeting at the photo shoot? The smoldering looks, the sweet touches, the… donuts!?! Yeah, that was a beginning that set the stage for a courtship filled with discovery, family and quirky drama this author writes so well!

Amelia was the baby of the family and instead of siblings she had multiple parents. Rebelling in her own unique way, she took life seriously, had fun when she could and was never afraid to stick up for herself. If that got her in hot water she owned it and took the consequences. Wasn’t it wonderful though that she had a gorgeous protective knight now at her side. Adam was strong and capable, always at the front lines when help was needed. His way of loving and supporting Amelia could become a blueprint…

The sparks in this story were of the highest tingly order with desire and dangerous suspense driving every step. And each of those steps was reading delight… A new favourite by Lani Lynn Vale, this is one of my top reads of the year!

Any Day Now is book 8 in the SWAT 2.0 series and I continue to find these books to be comfort reads for me! I love a straight forward romance that makes me laugh and swoon.

First off, Amelia and Adam meet at a stranger photo shoot set up by their friend Avery (from a previous book). I have always found these photo shoots so interesting and this story gives you a chance to kind of see what could happen after (I always imagine that the couple falls in love and lives happily ever after).

Amelia is headstrong and stubborn. She works in a strip club to piss her dad and brothers off, which is hilarious. She has made most decisions in her life based on how irritating they would be to her family. Adam is not like that at all. He is close to his parents and became a SWAT officer. He is the "golden boy" in a way and Amelia is the black sheep. I loved that dynamic.

If you need something light and happy to distract you from the world, Any Day Now is a great pick. It's a quick read that has humor, steam, and even a touch of danger!

 

  POV: dual 1st
  Tears: no
  Trope: insta-love, police
  Triggers:
  Series/Standalone: stand alone within an interconnected series
  Cliffhanger:
  HEA:




authors like Aurora Rose Reynolds, Natasha Madison, Sara Ney...then you will probably like Any Day Now!

FUN & SEXY!!! That’s exactly what ANY DAY NOW is! Immersing yourself in Adam and Amelia’s story is the perfect way to escape the crazy that our lives are right now.

I absolutely love the stranger photoshoot idea and to have a romance based off of one is genius. Adam and Amelia have instant off the chart chemistry, that plays out quite intense during the actual photoshoot, like you can feel their attraction jumping off the pages.

I love the sweetness that goes with Adam’s ultra-alpha personality, he is just the perfect man. Amelia is sweet, funny and totally able to take care of herself. The way she loves to drive her father and older brothers insane is an added bonus to her fun personality.

There are some challenges they have to overcome but they do not make the book any less fun. ANY DAY NOW can be read as a standalone, but once you read it you will want to know more about Amelia and Jack’s family and friends.

What more can I say about this author and this series (as well as her others for Kilgore). They are just freaking awesome. Each one I read outdoes the one before it. But damn, my only complaint is I wish they were longer! I never want the story to end!

This latest installment does not disappoint. It's Adam and Amelia's story. Adam. What can I say about him other than he is what I am asking Santa for this year. I literally want to wake up Christmas morning and find him wrapped under my tree. He is just super alpha but not in an overbearing way. He has a soft side and is a ten on the swoonworthy scale. Amelia is a pure firecracker and takes no one's crap. Not to mention she has been raised to be a tough cookie considering who her family is after all.

Well, from the minute these two meet, the pages are on fire. If you know me or my reviews at all you will know that I abhor insta-love. Hate it. But when done correctly, as it was done it this book, it is just pure magic. Nothing seems fake or contrived...it just works. I so enjoyed the witty banter from these two from the second they meet. I love how Adam falls for this little spitfire and how their love starts.

Naturally, they have some sort of obstacle to overcome and it was pure fun to read about these two and their budding romance. As always the author's sexy scenes are pure fire. Loved this book as I have so many of the others and pray to the literary gods that there are many more to come!!!

Amelia reluctantly agrees to do a stranger photo shoot for her close friend Avery. She knows it is completely out of her element but a friend in need is a friend indeed and she doesn't have a ton of them. When she meets Adam though, the stranger who has also agreed to the shoot, she feels a chemistry between that draws her in.

Adam can't believe his luck, he was doing this as a favor but seeing Amelia he is smitten from the beginning. She surprises him at every turn and Adam wants to know more. What he doesn't know though is that Amelia has a way of stirring up trouble, but that is even more of a reason to stick by her side.

There is so much more to this story but I think the element of surprise for the reader is a must. I loved Amelia, she is the daughter of Silas and she is a complete handful. She goes out of her way to put her dad and Uncle's on edge with her own brand of turning the screws. This was fabulous, I think it might be the best in this series thus far. Excellent read.

Lani Lynn Vale is back with the addicting men and woman of the SWAT Generation 2.0 series and y'all, I'm loving every single book this series has produced so far. Each is irresistible in all the ways and those feels that these characters evoke, gahhhhhh, I can't get enough.

You can always guarantee to get heat, heart, steam, great banter, and edge of the seat suspense when you crack open an Lani book, but most especially with these SWAT guys.

Any Day Now (the eighth standalone in this series) by the crazy talented Lani Lynn Vale took on those infamous and highly addicting stranger photo shoots from social media (my obsession with them might be showing a wee bit!!) and gave us, her readers, a love story y'all!! And can I say this went EXACTLY how I would picture it considering alllllllllll that chemistry from the first moment and so much undeniable heat between Amelia and Adam that continued to burn bright between them.

You throw in that classic Lani vibe to this beautiful journey and you have an unforgettable, unputdownable, all of the swoony feels romance that EVERYONE should totally read.

Lani Lynn Vale is absolute fire when it comes to this SWAT Generation 2.0 series y'all and I can't wait for more of her words sooooon! Thank goodness she writes fast.

I highly recommend this book.

I literally devoured this book in one go. Which is why I waited till the last minute to read it, cause I knew it would be finish in no time.
Amelia's life was so busy she didn't have time for anything. But when her best friend asked her to model for a photoshoot with a stranger, she couldn't say no. Especially when she met Adam. From the minute they met, they had chemistry. But then her life got more complicated when she in-advertantly pissed off a movie star. Now she only has to hope that Adam will hold on to her and not get put off by the danger surrounding her and the fact that her father is the president of a MC :-)

I loved this book. It was a quick read for me. I loved that even though Amelia was surrounded by alpha males, Adam didn't let that put him off. And except for the little drama he wasn't letting go of the women he loves. This was definitely another amazing story added to the SWAT Generation. It was sweet, romantic, low angst and definitely steamy all the way. I am so looking foward to the next story in this series.

This one was fun to read. I liked how Amelia and Adam met and how they had fun with the crazy situation and later were happy that they met. I especially loved Amelia's attitude about her family, loved that she kept flipping her finger at her father and brothers. It made for an unusual go with the flow attitude, something that Amelia needed to deal with them and the asshole that fixated on her. I didn't really care for that part, but do like how he was taken down. It really showed how you shouldn't mess with a daddy's girl.

The ending was great, loved the scene in the ER and the news that was shared.

You can always count on Lani Lynn Vale to bring the sexy and the humor in her stories and that’s exactly what Any Day Now did. From our adorable couple’s meet-cute to the whole heap of trouble they got into together, this was one wild ride.

How fun of a premise is a “stranger photo shoot” for kicking off a romance, right? I think Vale delivered on the idea and put her own unique (read: hella sexy) spin on it when she threw Amelia and Adam together. They clicked right from the start. And I loved their shared sense of humor as well as their mostly sunny outlook on things. The story didn’t go way down deep emotionally, but the characters and their connection made up for it...

I loved this book to a certain point. And that point being the plotline which introduced the celebrity jerk into the story. It felt off and unfinished. Plus, it felt like a beginning of a crime-solving for another series when it came to the bodyguard’s fate.

Gemma’s Review

The latest book in this series did not disappoint as it was another great story written by this amazing author. This was an extremely steamy read that really heat up the pages of this book. I really enjoyed the couple in this story and found that I could not get enough of Adam and Amelia.

Adam was a strong alpha male that I found to be extremely charming. He made me swoon throughout the story.

Amelia, I completely adored throughout this story. She was a strong heroine for this story that I really enjoyed.

This was another great story written by this amazing author.



Jessica’s Review

Amelia and Adam were great. Right from the start that had that instant connection that I, as a reader, couldn’t deny. The banter between the two of them was awesome. No one of felt forced, it was funny, but also sweet. Being the kids to some of my favorite past characters I loved seeing those characters make an appearance. They didn’t over shadow the story of Adam and Amelia; but bright back all my love for them. Awesome drama that was fresh and different. I live that while Latin’s books always follow the HEA train, each journey is different and unique to the characters. I won’t give too much away but I loved it. I also can’t wait for whats next in this series with Hastings. She seems like she is going to be a really fun character. 5 stars #2OCCJD

Chapter 2- 10 am in the morning. It’s too early for pizza, but it’s not too early for beer. Makes a lot of sense...NOT!
IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY FOR PIZZA!

Lani’s writing has changed a lot. I get it. People grow and I’m glad for her. It’s not my style, her last few books, so I’m stepping away. Maybe I’ll pick her books back up at a later time, and will appreciate it again. 🤷🏽‍♀️

With so many LLV series being released — the characters become blurry.

Her parents are Silas & Sawyer Mackenzie (Counter to my Intelligence)
Sam Mackenzie (brother), married to Cheyenne (Boomtown)
Sebastian Mackenzie (brother), married to Baylee (Lights to my siren)
Shiloh (sister), married to James Allen (also Cheyenne’s brother)

Amelia is studying to be a Social Worker (Psychology)?
Adam is Jack & Winter’s son (Last Day of My Life, Freebirds, #4)

She also works as a bartender at a strip club. A club owned by the Mayor, a friend of her father. She tests the patience of her father and brothers by courting disaster, they’ve even taken issue with her studying to be (gasp)—a social worker. They did not like the fact that she’d be working with ‘druggies’—their words.

They also did not like the fact that she hadn’t caved to their demands—such as finding a job that kept her in a cocoon. In defiance she moved to Kilgore—where having one brother around was better than having a brother and a father—both of whom belong to a MC that owns the town. ‘Sebastian and my father were part of one of the biggest motorcycle clubs in the country. They owned Benton, Louisiana—her hometown—making it untenable living under their microscope. In Kilgore, Texas I only had my eldest brother, Sam Mackenzie, to deal with. Also, I had James, my brother-in-law, but still better than a bossy, overprotective brother or father’.

Her father’s friend, Lynn, was the owner of The Underground, Kilgore’s—newest strip club. He also served as the Mayor. Bruno was someone she knew superficially but got the distinct impression that he was of the same caliber as Lynn and her father. Silas was ex-CIA and a whole lot of other things. Lynn was a whole lot of other things—as quoted by Silas. She’d heard rumours of him over the course of her life, and she hadn’t quite pinpointed what it was exactly that he did—or didn’t do. She tried not to draw attention to herself, because that always led to her brothers and father’s presence in her life.

Adam and herself enjoyed the right level of steamy...not excessive.

Amelia punched Rogan Germain, an unscrupulous A-lister nuisance of a movie star, filming a movie in Kilgore in the face because of his unwanted advances. He surrounds her refusing to let her leave she responded by kicking his bodyguard in the face because he tried to hurt her, feeling threatened as the three huge men enclosed around her.

Sadly there were twenty witnesses (fans) eager to come forward and bear witness that she had incited the violence. He pressed charges at which point she was detained and remanded into custody. His fans in a frenzy amped up their brand of crazy and besmirched her reputation and torched her house as part of their ‘Target Amelia campaign’ she is confronted and threatened everywhere. She is then arrested again for an altercation instigated by a fan in the restroom and he files a restraining order against her.

Rogan is hated in the gaming community because he has a tendency of beginning projects he fails to complete. He was the model for a character in one of the most popular upcoming games and it went all the way to beta mode before he decided to become difficult along with his lawyers forcing them to go back to designing mode.

Months later, he alienated a hacker. Evidently when you annoy Rogan Germain, bad things happen to you. He played a role depicting a hacker. They hired a real-life hacker HuntHack as a consultant for the film spending months to make the character credible. The time had finally come for the movie to be released and Rogan got his ego hurt. The hacker is grabbing food with Rogan and they’re at a table set up for the film crew when a girl notices Hunt and starts talking to him. Rogan has been trying to ask this girl out on a date for weeks unsuccessfully. Hunt, oblivious, engages in conversation about their sandwich choices, and how it was odd that they both liked these types of sandwiches. Hunt eats his food and an hour later he’s escorted out by security. All credit of his participation erased. to him They threatened him with legal action, tossed a meagre cheque his way, and told him to get lost. Hunt didn’t even have a clue until a couple of weeks later when he ran into that girl again and she shared her suspicions.

The two men surveil for when Amelia is alone and defenceless, forcing entry, they break in and beat her, taking turns abusing her until Hunt shows up and rescues her.

There is no cheating, once these two set eyes on each other...at the stranger photo shoot, they’re smitten. Her over-protective family translated into a caring, loving manner...not stifling. Seeing Silas in his role of over protective father was enlightening.

LLV incorporated the supporting cast of characters previously introduced from their predecessors. It was a treat to revisit with some of the original characters.

Amelia and Adams books is everything and then some.

I have been dying for this book for ages and lord it was so worth the wait.

I loved how they 'met'. It was such a fun beginning and it set a really good pace from their journey which made me super excited to see where it led them.

The chemistry is so on point from the beginning and only burns hotter as their connection grows stronger. Im all about knowing when you've got something special there and boy did these two grab on to that right away instead of dragging it out. It gave me Sam and Cheyenne insta love vibes which I'm not mad at because they're my long time og favorites. Plus it's fitting because she's Sam's baby sister.

I loved the sweet playful dynamics of their relationship. Lots of bicker and banter and Swoony moments to keep you laughing and loving them.

As always this author brings in a slew of side characters that only add to the greatness in many ways. Silas had me in stitches at his overprotective dad shenanigans and it was so great to finally see a good parent child relationship from him. He deserved that. As well as Jack and Winter, another og couple and also Adams parents being in here. I feel like I really got my fill of great side characters in this one.

It was sweet and funny and all kinds of sexy. I laughed so hard. I swooned at the sweet and I lived for all the crazy happenings and outrageous shenanigans from them and their huge bunch of family/friends. There never is a dull moment. The characters are sweet, relatable and easy to connect to. The story flows seamlessly with all kinds in here to keep you locked in and entertained.

I love these books hard and I'm always left wanting more after I finish them because they're just that good. This one is no different and has earned its place in my top favorites.

Just a little warning.. they are standalones but personally you'd enjoy it more knowing the history of the characters and how they're all interlinked. It makes the story even more interesting.

Now I just have to wait for the next!!. Why and I so impatient.
