"Know that I love you and I see a future for us if you still want one. God, I hope you still want one."
I really loved Jordan and Liv’s story. It was tough to read at times because it felt so real, especially when it showed how hard it can be to forgive someone you love after they’ve hurt you. Liv and Jordan had to work hard to be together, and they had to rebuild a love that was damaged after Liv’s mistake. Their journey was written with so much care, and even though they hurt each other, the love between them was always there—you could feel it in every word Diana Kane wrote. The only thing I didn’t love was the ending. The epilogue was nice, but I just wish it had taken us a bit further into their story....more

Well damn—I needed a moment to recover after I finished this one. Even though I predicted the big twist by chapter 8, the reveal was still super satisfying nonetheless. The writing style was spot-on, and I never once felt the urge to skim; it kept me hooked through all 15 chapters.
It was so close to being a 5-star read for me, but the romance didn’t quite hit the mark. I felt like Sarah and Rachel’s relationship needed more development. A few extra chapters to explore their connection could have elevated the story. Their love felt more like a product of their isolated environment—two young people leaning on each other simply because they had no other options instead of a genuine love that they would have chosen if their circumstances were different....more

Well, my first dive into the world of Sapphic BDSM romance stories was nothing "Every part of me belonged to you. I'm yours. I always will be."
4.5
Well, my first dive into the world of Sapphic BDSM romance stories was nothing short of fantastic!
I absolutely adored Simone—her blend of caring, protectiveness, and fierce determination made her an outstanding character. Jade's journey was equally compelling; I loved how she grew and confronted her own trauma by opening up to Simone and taking on someone who had hurt her previously. The romance between Simone and Jade was a joy to watch unfold, with their relationship blossoming beautifully throughout the story. And of course, the steamy scenes were masterfully written.

This book is definitely my favorite in the series. Lauren and Mia’s relationship was so well-developed, transitioning smoothly from friends to something much deeper. I really appreciated how mature they were in focusing on their own growth before fully committing to each other. The way they supported each other through their personal challenges and ended up in such a fulfilling, happy relationship was beautifully done.
The ending gave all the characters in the Midnight in Manhattan series a really satisfying happily ever after....more

I enjoyed this book far more than I expected! Arias excels at writing brilliant sapphic stories where, while there’s some drama and angst, it rarely stems from conflict between the women themselves but rather from their circumstances, which I really appreciate. In this story, it was refreshing to see Roxy and Adriana communicate openly about their feelings and show a willingness to work on their relationship, despite the concept of falling in love being new to both of them. They were patient, honest and gentle with each other, which made their connection even more compelling....more

This book is a stunning blend of beauty and poetry. Every character is likable, and I found myself loving Gabby, Cam, and Vinny almost as much as the protagonists, Alex and Charlee. The journey to their happy ending was slow and torturous, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way....more
