was a 3 star read for me. I'm all for an asshole hero, but this guy was unnecessarily cruel and clueless. And she should have had "wipe your shoes here" written on her forehead.

I think I was really kind when I read it originally because I didn't want to be odd man out so I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt...but no.

I finished
and it was really great...I loved getting to know Troy...he made me cry...can't wait for the next 😁

He's so not what he's made out to be in book 1
Judy.Ca wrote: "I finished and it was really great...I loved getting to know Troy...he made me cry...can't wait for the next 😁"These books have the cutest covers!
Yay - now I’m looking forward to it even more!
The covers are great...and I'm not a lover of hs or college age romance but Troys was different bc shes older and hes 24/25

I have not read these. I guess I will need to add TBR
Yes! Jen! You will have to 😊 but 1st finish the Cold Queen 🤣
She really is but I started
and i am loving it ;)
about this one is so great to read good things because in the last book Troy didn't make a great impression.
Marta wrote: "She really is but I started and i am loving it ;) about this one is so great to read good things because in the last book Tro..."IKR! and this one takes place simultaneously with book 1, but obviously from Troy's side...I wish I could remember more details about from book 1...i hope you fall in love with Troy too ;)
I Finished my Book which ended up being a duet.The Brightest Sunset #1 & The Darkest Sunrise #2 by Aly Martinez.
I ABSOLUTELY Loved this duet. Not at All what I was expecting. Lots & Lots of Feels! Such an Amazing Unputdownable Duet that I Didn't Want it to end. I Definitely Recommend this Duet. I Have Loved Everything I've Read From Her. So Much So My Last 5 Books were Hers!!
Diann, you are not alone, my friend! 🤣
Just finished
I liked it, Ethan is a great dad with his two kids and Tori being the nanny is by far more compassionate with the kids than their mother.
We have some insecutities and self-doubting thoughts and the drama with the ex.
But i think my main problem was that Tori was portrayed like a firecracker in the beginning (which was a great thing) and during the book was like she was soft after all... the firecracker personality completely forgotten.

😂😂😂 I'm only 2 books in this year and so far I'm at 50% with the 5 stars!
Okay, so was it Leslie who warned me of the slow burn in Until it Fades?? Because, dammmmm!!!! It wasn't just slow, it was excruciatingly slllllooooooowwwwww!!!! The painfully drawn out romance prevented me from finishing this book as fast as I would have liked especially since I loved the premise and loved the ties to Philadelphia/Philadelphia Flyers NHL Team. Because of those ties, and the love I had for the characters (including Brenna), I am torn between a 3 and 4 star rating.....(And I was so anxious to start my PFM challenge (When Ashes Fall) which I will comment on now on the other thread.....
Oooh! Can’t wait to hear what you think😉
Jean wrote: "Okay, so was it Leslie who warned me of the slow burn in Until it Fades?? Because, dammmmm!!!! It wasn't just slow, it was excruciatingly slllllooooooowwwwww!!!!

Sorry you didn't love it.
Not that I didn't love it Leslie, I just struggled to get to the end. I did really LIKE it though! LOL! And did not see the little twist regarding (view spoiler).

Wild Abandon is still my fave but A Really Bad Idea is way up there!
Jean wrote: "Not that I didn't love it Leslie, I just struggled to get to the end. I did really LIKE it though! LOL!

Wait.... was The Simple Wild related somehow? Did I miss something? Because I read that first....
Loved Thr Simple Wild! The sequel comes out 3/3/20
Jean wrote: "Wait.... was The Simple Wild related somehow? Did I miss something? Because I read that first...."No, sorry I wasn't clear. I just loved The Simple Wild so much that had I read it before Until it Fades, I might not have liked UIF as much.
Oh ok gotcha....I did read Thr Simple Wild first and yes, loved it!

Oh, I love Jeannine's books!! She is so freaking talented!!🥰♥️🥰♥️
