Daire and Rosie 
Rule Breakers Fall Hardest is the sixth book in “The Boys” series. I’ve been waiting for Daire’s book and I have to say its’s my favorite of the series. Daire and Rosie were once best friends and after something that happens in their past their friendship falls apart. Years later in college Daire finds himself in a bit of a predicament, he was sleeping with his college professor and after she brings her new baby up to the college and he sees him for the first time Daire knows that’s his son. After Daire talks to his lawyer about pursuing finding out if that is his son and getting parental rights she tells him it’d be best if he were married, has his own place, and has a stable home life to present to the courts. Daire comes up with this crazy idea and he goes straight to the girl he trusts most but they hate each other and haven’t talked in years. I loved Rosie so much, she is so strong and had to endure of a lot things she didn’t deserve. She was the best kind of friend, I loved watching her story unfold. She deserved her happy ending. Daire, my god… book husband material. I could not get enough of him, the way he did everything possible to make Rosie happy once he got his head out of the sand. It’s the little things, and he paid attention to the little things. Not to mention he was an amazing dad, his love for Sammie had me melting. 🫠 I love that Teddy made a little appearance, he is my favorite of all time. 
This series has a special place in my heart and I love every single one of the characters. I can’t wait for the next book is the series. Another amazing book by Micalea Smeltzer.

 🍇 Dash and Mallory 🍇

Love You Truly is a small town/marriage of convenience romance, two of my favorite tropes. Mallory is inheriting her family’s vineyard that her parents haven’t really put any effort into, and her ex keeps trying to get his grimy hands on the business. Dash is trying to help his families business, which leads them into entering into this fake relationship they will both benefit from. I loved watching Mallory and Dash’s relationship evolve, you could feel their chemistry, and I ate their banter up. I love Dash so much and all his little nicknames for Mallory. This book is a quick and fun read that will leave you smiling and feeling giddy. This was my first book by Stacy Travis, I really enjoyed it and loved her writing style.
