This book was definitely my absolute favorite in the series. Nikki Castle killed it 🥵🔥 with this one, I don’t even know what to say other than THANK YOU for Coach 🖤

 I loved Skylar so much. She is incredibly protective of her loved ones, super intelligent, strong and so very hard working.

Coach has become such a dedicated coach after retiring as a successful fighter. He loves his student and is such an honorable person so when he can’t this attraction to his student its unexpected.

Coach and Skylar’s story was so well written and I felt every word and emotion between them. I would highly recommend his book as well as the entire series.

Even though this hasn’t been my favorite in the series it was still such an amazing book and Elsie Silver is an absolute QUEEN!!! 

 

I’ve been waiting for Jasper’s story and it did not disappoint. I knew there had to be a reason for him to stay away from Sloane despite him not even realizing he’s in love with her. Makes me want to reach out and hug him after everything he’s been through. 

 

Sloane is the absolute best. I loved how she stopped letting herself be walked all over and grew into herself. She is super funny and i found her to be extremely relatable 

 

I loved Jasper and Sloane, how they feel for each other and how deep they’re connection is really is so special . Amazingly written friends to lovers book . 

 

This was the third book in the Chestnut Springs series & I’m absolutely loving this series<3

This was definitely my favorite book in the series but then again I’ve been waiting for Theo’s book since he first appeared in Flawless. 

 

Accidental Pregnancy is not everyone’s favorite but Elsie did such a great job writing this. I felt that Winter was so relatable and Theo was absolutely everything she deserved. 

 

“Te Vivo, Baby Girl” 

 

Theo is an absolute sweetheart with a side of filthy and wicked. I loved the banter between them so much and how he just loved getting under Winter’s skin and trying to thaw her icy exterior. 

They were absolutely perfect together and they way he took to being a dad was panty dropping!!! 

 

I loved this book soooo much and can’t wait for Beau’s book next!

Cade and Willa are one of my absolute favorite couples. The banter and spice was just perfect!

Willa is one of the best FMC’s I’ve read in a while, she is smart, funny and all sass 🩵

Daddy Cade is SWOON Worthy🫠

I love how grumpy Cade is but he literally melts for Willa.

I think I am obsessed over the Eaton Men!!!

The relationship between Willa and Luke is the cutest ever and every interaction between them left me with a smile on my face. I love a good single parent book and this one hits the spot!

This was the second book in the Chestnut Springs series & I can’t wait for the next one!

I am definitely going to need a book on Daddy Eaton at some point🖤

This was my first read from Kennedy Ryan and wow did she not disappoint. I started the book on audio which I thought was great; the singing was phenomenal and storytelling of Dessi Blue was amazing as well.

Reel gave you a look at love, in taking a chance on love, in self love, love of friends, love for family and the importance of forgiveness.

Cannon & Neevah were the epitome of love and the sacrifices you make for someone you truly care for in sickness and in health

Reel felt like a love letter to all the amazing black artists, to black history as a whole & to the importance of black health.

I highly recommend this book it was way beyond what I expected!
