1. Owww, the years of the horrid hostorical romance covers…
2. Not into it for now

When you want to scream at the protagonist that, "come on! that person is lying and hiding something from you!"

Like the author a lot, but my strongest motivation to read this one (and have interest in the future release of the next) is the fact that it’s about one of Dex’s teammates, and Dex is my absolute favorite and the one I want to keep following, so it means I’ll keep seeing him, even tho only as a secondary character. I feel my interest will peak every time he appears.

It's a page turner and I hoped to finish it today but I can't!

It must have been horrible for her, traumatized and with gaps in her memory, to see that both of her parents 100% believed her to be guilty of murder; and God, her mother! Satan!
Also wow, almost everyone in that town is an asshole and was the peak of selfish and insensitive toward Lucy.

"Would people say she had a temper if she was a man? They’d say she stood up for herself when it was needed."

Sounds spot on

Gently he rocks me as we lie in bed and I cry.
“You’re killing me, Fi” he whispers brokenly.
“I know” My breath hitches. “I just can’t seem to stop”
I want to pull it together, get on with life, and forget all of the shit. But it doesn’t work that way. I have an endless supply of tears and rage.
His embrace goes tighter. I want him to hold me this way forever. “Then cry all you want. I’m not going anywhere”

I don’t want it to end

I used to think maybe a guy would make me whole. But that’s not really the truth. It’s up to me to figure my shit out, but Ethan makes the struggles easier to bear.

I love them

“I know I said I’d try but… Shit…now I know it will slowly kill me not to have all of you.”
“You have me,” he rasps as though I’m killing him now. “You fucking have all of me.”

I'm smiling, swooning, suffering for the angst and giggling. The whole thing

I know, this edition is not out yet but I’ll get it as soon as it does so I’m adding the book like this anyway. I thought of waiting to read it, but I can’t, too hyped, so I’m reading the story now than will re read the new edition to see what’s the bonus content
P.S. Been shipping them since the last book and the chemistry is 🔥 so,don’t care if it’s fast and I love Dex and the friend group so much

I’m conflicted about how I would like things to end

I would have liked to finish it today, but… life gets in the way

they were already super attached to one another twenty pages in, I would have liked more steps in between, but I'm having a lot of fun and the story works very well, so

It's an insta love book, it's not shy about it, love at first sight is the trope at the heart of it, so I kind of have to accept it, but it means I'm not 100% invested in the romance, still enjoyable and nice read and I'm into the overwhole series

A bit too insta love for my tastes, but seems nice enough, I love and trust the author and am very excited about the nexts books

‘I suppose I am used to having my way,I’m the oldest in my family, so perhaps it is force of habit’
‘Nothing at all to do with the militant planning or iron will of course’
‘Why,that almost sounded like a compliment, my lord’
‘I’m losing my touch it seems.You are, of course, also lacking anything resembling moral integrity, and I imagine that goes a long way towards contributing too’
‘Oh,of course’ she said,smiling.

'When Miss Talbot arrived at the Salisbury ball,she was approached almost immediately by a stormy-faced Radcliffe, who bowed perfunctorily before informing her,quite politely, that she was a harpy.
-
‘I am considered rather charming by the entirety of the ton’
‘Well,I’m sure we cannot blame them for that foolishness’ she snapped.‘So many of the ton being in the habit of marrying their first cousins’
🤣​

Miss Talbot was able to extract a veritable treasure trove of information from Lord Radcliffe before his mind awoke fully and he began to object to her presence in his home, so that by the time he commanded her to ‘leave now and never return’, she was quite happy to do so.

enemies to lovers is a trope that just works

Super short so I was not expecting a lot, but my lord this is bad

It’s nice, in some instances cute enough, I’m just kind of… bored
P.S. I like Diana the most even if she’s a side character

This is a quiet and slow type of story, it might not be everyone cup of tea, I’m loving it so much💜. It’s different from Dear Enemy, but there’s no point comparing, love them both.
P.S. Reading real slow for me it’s a sign I’m very into it
P.S.S. Kristen Callihan is officially one of those authors I can count on

Delilah and Macon wedding!! 🤩
