Hi Sassafrass !
I’m a little behind with my pick list for this challenge but I should read few of them next week !
For now I have read those two and I have LOVED both of them so far! They enlightened my weekends!

☑️ Frog by Mary Calmes 19/6 - ☀️☀️☀️☀️🌤
I’m so glad to have read this one today : It was short but sweet, fun and also hot, and so well written and smart! here is my complete review!

☑️Hell & High Water by Charlie Cochet 1/6 -
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
What a ride ! This is one of my favorite serie from Charlie Cochet so I was so happy when you picked it for me to re-read.
Charlie Cochet writing is awesome : The banter between Dex and Sloane is humorous, Dex antics, his love of 80 music…I could not help laughing the entire book. There are so many levels to enjoy, and even the secondary characters are promising… My complete review here

PS : @Sassafrass : finally, I did not read more but all your suggestions are in my next to pick list so they are part of my to-read list !!
