Reading With April > Recent Status Updates

I'm sure there is a reason Sasha is the way she is, but she's really irritating me so far. Jax deserves better 🥰

Cute story so far. Banter is good, and I absolutely love Wyatt. However, it's definitely a slow burn as I am 60 % in, and they have only shared a few kisses & he had a "private" moment.

Jeez, how many side characters do you need with all these nicknames? It's a tad confusing, especially so early in the book, haha. Also, the FMC is already irritating me, but hopefully, that doesn't stick.

Please, someone who has read this tell me it gets better. I have been bored with most of it, not sure where the "dark" part comes into play, and the spice hasn't really been spicing as of yet.

I am really struggling with this book (bored). I'm 60% in, and not much has happened. The burn is definitely slow in this one. Most of the book isn't even interactions between the two main characters, but describing stuff which is fine in the beginning, but not 60% in.

Whew, Ryan is a grumpy guy, lol. It's going to be great when Miller gets his claws in him.

Chapter 14 had me like 🥹 then 😄 then 🫠

I think this is going to be a DNF for me. It's just seems that both main characters are immature and childish, and he's 37, and she's 24 (maybe it's just me). I may go back and try to finish it, though.

I believe this is going to be a DNF for me. The FMC is irritating and I am just bored.

I love Chris. Perfect mixture of unhinged & sweet 😍🥵

I have been trying all day to get into this book & I'm just bored. Please someone who has read this tell me that something picks up and to keep going.

I think I gave this a fair shot, but I just can't get into it. There was like no lead up to the "step-bros" experimenting/getting involved, no work up just nothing & it's honestly boring me a bit since now it's all $ex and like zero plot of anything. Maybe I'll pick it back up another day, but for now, it's a no from me.

Well, the few pages before this messed me up 😭

This last book isn't keeping me as hooked as the others 😴 Hopefully something picks up soon.

Ok, so normally, I love Catherine's books, but I am struggling to get through this one. I just don't feel any connection/chemistry between Shep & Thea & I feel that Thea's character is just blah & I'm just a bit bored. I know it'll pick up & I'll end up enjoying it, so I am going to keep going.

Beefcake pulling on my heart strings on this page 🥹💔

I just absolutely love Beefcake! 🥰 Also, I didn't think I would like Nash as much as I do (so far), but he just may take the #1 spot from Romeo 🤔

Large coffee ☕️ in hand, and it's time to knock out this last stretch.

Made it to the halfway point. Why do I have a feeling this next half is going to wreck me...

When you feel like you've made a huge dent reading Madness only to realize you're only on page 217.....

Oh, I wanna fight Hayes's mom 🥊😠

I'm excited for Sierra & Xavier's story, but I'm sad this series is done as it's been one of my favorites.

Whew, I am loving me some River 🥵😍

Although I love Killian throughout this book so far, I'm not really vibing with Millie & I have been bored through a lot of this book. However, I will push through it & hope for something interesting to happen.

I just don't think this author is for me. This is the 2nd book I've read from them & I am just bored 😴 I feel like it's been mostly 🌶 with little plot which don't get me wrong I need 🌶 in the books I read, but I need more from the plot. I'm going to go ahead & knock this out since I've made it this far, but I think I'm done after that.

I can't do it! The amount of times the MMC is calling the FMC "pretty girl" is making me twitch with annoyance. I'm all for nicknames or whatever, but when it's said all the time it's a bit too much. DNFing this book at 21%.

7% in, and the MMC had already called the FMC "pretty girl" like a dozen times, which is irking me lol. I can only imagine how many more times I'm going to have to read it as we get further.

I am so bored 😴 I know this will be a slow burn or whatever, but so far, nothing, not even the main characters, has me interested. I'll try to get to 50%, but if nothing interesting happens by then, it will be a DNF.

I was going to try to push through this, but the surprise baby trope on top of the childish main characters and the feeling zero chemistry between them just isn't going to work for me. DNF for me.
