She took this amazing dark bully romance, and added in a hockey element that just enhanced the overall story.
There was so much going on through out this book, we have Margo returning to town, she's trying to fit into a new family, her former female bestie is now the queen of the school, & her best guy friend seems to hate her. He's pretty much doing what he can to push her away, while pulling her in at the same time. I seriously couldn't get enough of the chemistry between Margo & Caleb.
I can't wait for the next installment in this series! If you love dark, bully, sports romance, you definitely need to check this one out.

I fell in love with Nicci Harris's books when I stumbled onto her Kids of the District series in 2022 and became obsessed. When she announced this darI fell in love with Nicci Harris's books when I stumbled onto her Kids of the District series in 2022 and became obsessed. When she announced this dark, dystopian, age-gap romance, I'm not gonna lie... I was a little nervous cause this wasn't my usual type of story but in Nicci we trust! I'm so glad I took the risk because I'm obsessed with this world!
The romance between Rome and Aster completely captivated me.. because here comes this huge, badass king, that rarely shows emotion, and he falls so hard for a this tiny, sweet, commoner that was only ever meant to be a silk girl. I seriously can't get enough of this kind of love story and Nicci crushed it! Also let me be clear.. the spice was spicing in this story and it was delicious!
I'm so excited that this is going to a series! I can't wait for the next two installments!! I highly recommend this if you love dark, age-gap romances but as always... please make sure to review the CW's/TW's.

I was lucky enough to get an early peek at Handy and let me say... this is the perfect mix of instalove, cringe, and spice. This is definitely not youI was lucky enough to get an early peek at Handy and let me say... this is the perfect mix of instalove, cringe, and spice. This is definitely not your usual Misty Walker story, its designed to be over the top, with all the awkward terms that you secretly love, but don't want to admit to. It's also light and fluffy and the perfect palette cleanser from all the dark romances.
Misty had me laughing out loud throughout this story, but the mouth on Eaton had me blushing up a storm. Jenny was one of the most relatable characters... her thoughts felt like they were plucked from my own head and I swear the things she said were pulled straight out of my mouth. I loved her secret business and the way that Eaton was supportive of her idea, but I also really just loved the way that Eaton loved Jenny as she was. If Misty wrote a whole series about these two characters & their families, I would read every page and ask for more cause it would never be enough.
I definitely recommend this one if you are looking for a spicy instalove story, with a plus size female lead and an over the top alpha male that loves and worships his FMC, with a sprinkling of breeding kink....more
Pine River gave me all the feels I expect when I pick up a Tijan book. I loved that we got the found family vibe that was so strong in the Fallen CresPine River gave me all the feels I expect when I pick up a Tijan book. I loved that we got the found family vibe that was so strong in the Fallen Crest series, but it was still felt new & fresh. In true Tijan fashion, there is a whole lot of family drama and a secret back story which lead to me reading this in one sitting. This book continues to live rent free in my brain & I can't wait for the many re-reads I can see happening in the future....more
