Binged would be an understatement! Devoured is more like it. I was so excited to be back in Sugarloaf…throw in Cloverleigh connection and my small town loving heart was in heaven💕

When Phoebe calls Asher a marshmallow she is spot on. He is hard when he needs to be…and often😉 but he’s soft with Phoebe & Olivia when not expected and it just makes him that much more endearing. I love that he is so selfless with all of the women in his life😍

I think Corinne will break our hearts with Grady’s story though🥺

💕fave quotes📖

“…Good job, honey. I knew you’d find something.” I did. I found everything when it felt like I had nothing.—-💕


“Love doesn’t come with conditions.”—-gah just proving how awesome he is

Royally not Ready?? Heck yes I am!! A sexy AF, poetry writing, loyal to the core, dom in the bedroom Viking god of a man!! SAWOON y’all. Keller is all that and a bag of chips 😍


To be fair to Lilly he is kind of a jerk to her at the beginning but he’s got a good reason (🙄 or that’s what he’s convinced himself). She is not deterred because she wants a piece of that scrummy Viking & won’t stop until she gets him…and get him she does🥵 Their chemistry is off the charts and they quickly realize that they have a lot in common.

Keller continues to take his duties seriously and trains Lilly in everything that she needs to know before she meets the King & Queen. Though she is still nervous she finds strength in Keller’s love. Though he tried to protect her from everything there are still people who are out to destroy them and Keller’s fixation & doubt is his downfall.

But y’all his courting game is strong & he woos the heck out of Lilly💕

You will definitely laugh out loud (the car chase scene is a riot), swoon (Viking poet😍), tear up a bit (they’re both searching for a person to fill the loss they have both suffered) and fall in love with Torskethorpe just as much as Lilly.

Fave quotes:

“I know, but I need Lilija to know where I stand.” She levels herself with Lilly. “And I stand with you, Lilija. I shall be your backbone, your support, your concierge. I’ll be everything you need.” “How about a grandma?” Lilly asks softly. “Never really had one of those, and it was what I was excited about most when coming to Strombly.” Katla’s eyes now well up as she nods. “Yes, yes, I can do that for you.”—-😭this scene y’all!! Such a beautiful scene full of forgiveness & acceptance and blind love👏🏻❤️


“I’ve never felt a love as fierce or powerful as for the woman who captured my heart. I wanted to express the devotion I have for her through art.”—-told y’all Keller is swoon worthy 🥰

Wowowowowowow!!! The last chapter of the book had my heart pounding🤯

There’s so much to unpack…mainly Violetta is a Mafia Queen. Ya girl is not messing around. She can hold a grudge to get her point across like no other. Santino is a freaking BA. It’s so flipping cool that he wants to change things and try to grow with Violetta.

***side note—-GET THE AUDIO!!! It’s so authentic with the audio. Antonio & Emma absolutely embrace Santi & his forzetta💓 Bonus the Italian is super sexy;)

Santi is a softy—“You are different because you are special. You are different because I want you. You are different because I love you.”

Sh!t’s about to go down attitude—‘Violetta Moretti is not a plaything. Violetta Moretti is not a toy. Violetta Moretti is a dangerous bitch who will move mountains to save people she loves.’

Gunner has absolutely solidified himself as my favorite Kristy hero and he is without question a hero. Gosh I have a such soft spot for soldiers & ball players…and Gunner checks both those boxes plus he is sweet, sexy, funny, compassionate, he gives himself freely to help military kids who have lost a parent. Oh my goodness is there anything that he can’t do? I love how genuine he is with Chase & how he lets himself fall for her. Most importantly how he goes after what he wants. NO REGRETS—no truer words to live by.

I’m so happy that Chase has found her peace in Gunner. Their story may have started with a white lie but there’s no denying that they are each others soulmate.

YASS! I looove our Easton Wyler Easter egg💕 and I’m actually looking for to Finn’s story;) can’t wait to see how he will redeem himself.

OH🔥MY🔥GOSH🔥Corinne has done it again! Grayson checks all the boxes
☑️sexy AF🔥

☑️soooo amazing with his sweet daughter🥰
☑️still loves Jessica💘

Holy sh!t Jessica deserves the best marriage & all the cutest, sweetest kids because the universe owes her big time!!

💓Quotes that’ll make you swoon💓
I can see it now. The future—this, her, us as a family, and it’s terrifying me. Everything feels frozen as I stare at the two people I love. Amelia is my world, and Jessica is my soul.

“I guess it’s not a secret so much as a question. A long time ago, I met a girl, and she stole my heart. I thought I’d learned to live without it, but then she brought it back, and I realized how much I needed it—but mostly I needed her.”

Reputation is definitely a feel good story that got me in my feels. Bellamy & her dad’s story is so touching—the epilogue is everything🥲 Adriana gave them the ending that everyone begs for and some can only dream🥰

I know this is Coy & Bellamy’s story but her dad, Joe, has such an impact on them. From his health, his love for Bells, and his advice to both Bells & Coy. **I’m not going to lie-as I go through the quotes I’ve highlighted I have tears in my eyes**

Life’s not meant to be lived in fear. It’s not meant to be lived alone either.  It’s meant to be experienced. Life is meant to be lived, not survived. It’s for loving and fighting and complete mess making. Life is for taking risks and winning and losing and learning. —-truly no better words to live by:)

I loved so many things in the Strike Out...the Hallmark Architect, the texts with the guys, how swoon worthy Holt is:)

Seriously, Holt & Harmony are so ridiculously hot together...I mean holy hot BJ Harmony🔥 my girl made Holt forget his name!!

“Sometimes the right person comes out of nowhere. When you’re not looking for love is sometimes when you actually find it.”—they fell hard & fast for each other. As the saying goes ‘when you know you know’ and they knew. Life had different plans for them but they did what they needed to do and their relationship was better for it.

“God, baseball is hot.”—-no truer words! #towelbrigade

Find your voice & take control 💪🏻

Excuse me while I wipe this pesky tear...sigh...Lavender is such a beautiful bad@$$ little beast! I love her journey back to Kody so much. I’m so glad she was strong enough not to cave into him & I love how Kody was always trying to protect her. “Her kiss is my grace. Lavender is the keeper of my heart. She’s the only truth that matters.”—we should all be so luck to be this cherished by another.

“What’s one truth about an arrow?” I ask as I look up, wishing it were my mother’s voice asking. “Removing half the feather will create the curve and alter its course.”—I love that all the Arrowood brothers are committed to their one truth. Even when Jacob doesn’t think it’s possible to find his truth his mother leads him to it and his realization is so inspiring.

“Honestly, my mother was brilliant because she never really explained it to any of us. She sort of said it and gave us some crap about how it applied to whatever situation she wanted it to, but it wasn’t until the last two years that I realized each was about our fatal flaws.”—Dec’s candidness about their struggles to realize their worth is so touching. He truly wants & believes they all deserve what they never thought was possible.

This is the best scene in the book. I mean outside of the movie premier how can you not swoon over this? —“What’s one truth about an arrow?” he asks. I fight back the buildup of tears. “No matter how many times you pull that bow back, if you keep focus and keep aiming, your arrow will go exactly where it should.” He looks up at me, a smile on his beautiful lips. “I know mine did.”—yep you heard it that was my ovaries exploding!

Stay for me is a tragically beautiful story of first love & second chances—at life & love. Corinne puts us through the heart wringer but it is so worth it❣️

***edited***DEFINITELY GET THE BONUS EPILOGUE***

The end of Man in Charge had us asking WTF Scott?! Kendra made her choice and it ultimately affected Scott & Tess...fast forward to Man in Love...there are so many choices to be made. Does Scott choose life as he knows it or a life with Tessa? Does Tessa choose to be Scott’s side piece or does she choose more for herself?

Laurelin answers all of our questions in the most perfect story of living & loving your best life:)
