Phew! This one got me by surprise. I definitely enjoyed it but somehow when I finished, I wasn't hyped? I don't know how to explain it but I didn't have the 'I need to move on from this book' moment.
Ana Huang is one of my favourite authors and even since we got a glimpse of DanteVivian I was so excited about their book because hello? Grumpy Hero and strong heroine are always a yes for me - now, don't take this wrong, I really enjoyed the book, or maybe the first half, but somehow the conclusion was a bit plain for me.
Vivian Lau was a strong heroine! The replies she had when Dante was being too much lol there were good, even Dante couldn't hold that scowl for so long. I really liked how Ana wrote Vivian - she was very mature, smart, and strong but also that vulnerability when it comes to her family.
Dante Russo my man there I tell you. my grumpy 'if people stopped pissing me off, I wouldn't scowl so much' hero. I really liked he didn't immediately fall for Vivian - sure, there was an attraction but he still gave her a hard time lol, that's the whole point of enemies-or dislike- to lovers. Also, there must be mentioned that I loved how possessive and jealous he was chef kiss
I am so excited to have this new series! I can see some couples that FOR SURE are having their book. ANA PLEASE LUCAMARIA NEEDS TO HAPPEN because I refuse to read a book where the heroine is called Leaf Greene or something lmao

I have to say that this is my first reverse age-gap trope, and if you are hesitating like I was let me tell you that this book is great for the trope! I absolutely love the Helen of Troy retelling so much and the obsession rope here was a Chef Kiss.
We met Jordan and Xander in Tales of Obsession Series as she was Piya's best friend and he was Damon's cousin. This pairing was a great surprise and really hot.
Jordan married Xander's dad, so we have some forbidden items here and there. I liked her because even though she was weak against Xander, she still fought him when he was too much lol. She truly liked Xander and Jasper and was so mature.
Xander didn't disappoint serving obsession, and when he reached the insanity level it was beautiful to read XD he was grumpier than Damon but same crazy when it comes to their love. I liked the ending and can't wait to read the second epilogue.
BTW! We got Piya and Axel scene lmao it was so funny that phone call - just wait until you read it ha! it was soo them.
Can't wait to have Caden's and Jasper's books!! I'm obsessed with Drethi's books....more
Excited to read more! I really liked Wendy and Jasper’s story ❤️ slow burn are one of my favourite tropes, so I really like to read and I think Julie Excited to read more!

I’m so freaking excited for the next book, hopefully it will be Cass or Milo and I’m kinda sure Marina will be the heroine ...more
I saw the plotline on Twitter X and it said something about a tattooed H meets ballet teacher h that also involves H's cute 4-year-old sister. SOLD. GI saw the plotline on Twitter X and it said something about a tattooed H meets ballet teacher h that also involves H's cute 4-year-old sister. SOLD. GIVE. ME.
So freaking excited this will be a series because I literally can't wait for Maddie's book like it's going to be so interesting to read these book characters older.
Now, this book was so good. It finally made me read the friends-to-lovers trope. Trust me, I am NOT a fan of those because it's usually either the H is with someone else or the h was always that, the friend while he dated and stuff.
BUT IN HERE? None of that, THANK YOU, LORD. I really like Grace and Cal, like even if they start as friends, there was the ✨connection.✨that was beautiful and it kept me interested in their story. Also omg, are we getting Emily (h's bff) and Aaron (h's cousin) story???? Because honestly, both are hot af and enemies to lovers seems ritee.
I don't really want to spoil this because honestly, it's a bit of slowburn so please go with the flow.
Safety!
ow/om: there is a bit of om drama - the h is interested in a classmate at the beginning of the story but he made her uncomfortable when she went to a party with him that the H had to go to her. Another om tad bit of drama happened when the h invited om on a date (she was kinda starting to feel something for the H but didn't want to risk their friendship) but she didn't feel the spark with om. There isn't really ow drama - H didn't seem like a manho at all. He had an ex but she cheated on him and that was it, she was only mentioned. And there is a misunderstanding where the h saw him hugging another woman and got super jealous and sad lol but the woman was the friend that taught him to tattoo and she was also married already lol.
TW: the h was sexually assaulted (not on page) before. Neglectful parenting - H's mom is an alcoholic and step-father doesn't care about H's sister.

Oof, I’m not sure what to say about this book - it started so good and both main characters were the kind that I would definitely connect with but I dOof, I’m not sure what to say about this book - it started so good and both main characters were the kind that I would definitely connect with but I don’t know what happened with everything that it felt meh.
The book was so long and after the 40% mark i was kinda bored.
The only good thing was Noah and his niece Gennie lol.
I don’t know what to say about Shay but I didn’t like her after, I just didn’t and Noah deserved way better. I said what I said.
Quick review: I liked Joey and Max, but the story was just meh.

Safety ow/om: om is interested in Joey and she kissed him after having sex with Max but couldn't go further. no real ow drama, Max's pregnant sister lied saying she was his girlfriend (not with bad intentions, since Max was missing and she was scared), but it was a short misunderstanding. no condoms, both stated they were clean tho heroine was a virgin. ...more
I not gonna lie but I binge-read this duet without reading the blurb or pretty much not kn5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
TATIANAILLIAS NATION HOW ARE WE DOING TODAYY???
I not gonna lie but I binge-read this duet without reading the blurb or pretty much not knowing these characters. I did kinda knew about Tatiana and that her husband was killed and all, but missed, if there was, any hint about her love interest. And now that I'm obsessed, please kindly let me know if there were any from Konstantin in the previous book, I need more of themm.
Now back to their story, this was quite a surprise! I haven't been feeling EW's books lately so I didn't have lots of expectations, and I'm being very honest. So, I love love love that I truly could get into the story.
Tatiana was such a great heroine, I love that she truly knew her worth as a queen, and she was very badass lol. I also liked that Tatiana was pretty bold about what she wanted and all, like I am sooooo tired with the typical virgin why heroine like you can be a virgin but also know what you wanted and this pretty much was Tatiana when she was younggg. Ok, ill shut up because spoilers.
Illias Konstantin was so hot, my kind of alpha, my feminism was nowhere when this man showed up. You can search on google Obsession and Illias will show up. He took it to the next level ️...more
Honestly where the hell was LC's books hidden from me?? I have to say I was a bit hesitant to start this series since The Mistress Mistake5 stars✨✨✨✨✨
Honestly where the hell was LC's books hidden from me?? I have to say I was a bit hesitant to start this series since The Mistress Mistake was strongly recommended and it ended up a meh for me. But honestly? Best decision eveeer.
Hannah and Josh were soulmates and their love was so pure and beautiful.
Josh Turner not only suffered abuse by his pos father but also tainted his image, making him the wrong kid in the county, but still, he made sure he was not going to end up like him after he is taken by his aunt and uncle, he tries to live a hardworking and honest life.
His life changes completely the moment he sees Hannah, he vaguely remembers her as she was her neighbour, and because there is animosity between their families, but that didn't stop him to approach her and help her, since she was left alone by her best friend, sealing their destiny forever.
I swooned when they first talked and kissed, even if it was to deceive the others. It was beautiful because you could feel the connection between them, making it hard to pull themselves into thinking that it was just one time.
Josh was strong-headed and honest guy but Hannah was just his weakness, and I loved to see him struggling when it comes to her.
As for Hannah, I love this girl sfmm. She was part of the richest family in the county. The good girl. But that didn't stop her from wanting Josh, and even though she didn't really know the silent feud between the families (honestly it's not really a feud per says, but Josh's dad really hurt the McIntyre)
The book is long which I really appreciate because I get to truly know them, connect with them, and see their growth. Loved that Josh was super possessive and jealous of everyone that breathed near Hannah lol He knew she was his one and wouldn’t let her go for anything.
Safety! OW/OM: Not really! Josh was a manho before he meets/talk to Hannah – he would go outside of the county to pick up girls and Shalala. (I appreciate that there isn’t any showing past hookup/fb). After he kisses Hannah (even if it was to deceive the others) he remains celibate.
As for Hannah, there are some guys that are interested in her causing Josh’s jealousy. One of them was Josh’s best friend Ty, who is also the brother of Ava that is Hannah’s bff. He’s a manho thru and thru and even though he’s interested in Hannah, he still fucks around. I thought he wasn’t interested in her anymore until Hannah and Josh kinda broke up (it was more like a fight over some stuff) and Ty took advantage of the situation and kisses Hannah (it was forced since she was telling him no and pushing him), Josh doesn’t see the kiss but knew it happened so he beat Ty, the jealousy here was chef kiss. ...more

Not but the moment I knew Indy and Ryan would be a couple I KNEW I would love this book because the tropes ???

I loved this book, honestly, read ittt. I laughed a lot, cringed a lot, kinda wanted to scream bc of them, sigh. It was a good book.
I can't wait for Kai's book give me clark kent x the nanny's book
Safety!
ow/om: Hero has been celibate for 2 years'. and has trust issues because of an ex (ow) but it's just her name that shows. Heroine has been cheated on by her fiance that was her childhood friend and caused some drama. Hero very jealous and possessive but not OTT.
