My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s not easy when your world is rocked and you suddenly realize that you’re trash. Well, maybe that’s a little harsh but let’s face it, if you know Nico Romero, he is rough around every single edge. He is the character you love to hate. Yet, the more you read about his life and his story, the more you find yourself hopeful for his new journey.

I’m a fan of the redemption arc so I really enjoyed this story. As the reader, you feel like you have walked through hellfire and back with him. It’s quite exhausting yet absolutely fulfilling.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first novel I read by Cari Schaeffer. After reading some pretty heavy material, I was desperately in need of something to take my mind off the darkness. I immediately was drawn into Olivia’s world. I couldn’t help but feel bad for her situation. When it rain, it pours! Olivia had so many challenges to face, a rocky marriage, a messy divorce, a shady friend’s betrayal (because let’s face it, sometimes the break up between friendships is harder than relationships!). When she loses her job I was ready to throw my hands up in the air for her! I love how she persisted. Despite her controlling mother and all of the other growing pains that comes from starting a new business. With all that was going on in her life, no wonder finding love was hard. She was busy trying to find herself!

All in all, this was a great read! Fall down Olivia’s rabbit hole of a chaos and root for the underdog with me!

Hate You Later (Lit Lovers, #1)Hate You Later by Ciara Blume
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I never related more to a character, than I did to Georgia. Ain’t nobody got time to deal with dead end douche bags, silly drama, and bullies who think they can come in a take what they want. Georgia is a strong, independent, kick ass character. I loved the witty banter between her and Hudson. The angst and attraction is there from the get go! I couldn’t wait to find out how the story ended. Overall, I find this to be a really fun and easy read. It was exactly what I was looking for and I look forward to the rest of the Lit Lovers Series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has all the tropes I love. Mafia, undercover agents, long lost love, and second chances. Damian and Evie’s story starts off when they are 17 years old. Young love in these stories can often be cringey. But I found Evie and Damian super adorable. When her father threatens him and his family, he leaves abruptly. Leaving Evie broken hearted and confused. Damian returns 13 years later, but he isn’t the same boy she fell in love with. Evie isn’t one to take “no” for an answer. There were times when I was left scratching my head because Damian was acting like a DB and Evie just kept coming back. Things are definitely NOT any easier now that they are adults. Many challenges come their way. I was overall happy with the story and the characters you meet within it.
