This book had so many of my favorite tropes so I was super excited to pick it up.
Although it was a little slow and had much back and fourth the fake marriage of convenience was really different to any others I’ve read.
I really loved Declan and Everly and I was really rooting for this love story!🩵💙
Everly is an absolute badass and has overcome so many people treating her poorly with such grace that she truly deserves it all.
Declan went above and beyond to prove his love to Everly even if he made me want to knock some sense into him since hit motives were unknown to anyone.
This was my first book by Shain Rose & I already can’t wait for the next one!

I am so sad this series is over but OMG what a way to end it!!! This SPICE is this  one was 🥵🔥💣
I loved Eden, Jade and CIay’s story so so much. I feel like I’ve been waiting for Madam Kink’s story since Praise and what a story it was.
Getting to see how Jade became a stronger more assertive version of herself was amazing not to mention how much Clay loved being with both of them. But getting to see a vulnerable Eden was probably my favorite and most relatable moment.
So glad they all got their HEA, no one deserves it more than these three.
Can we talk about that epilogue and the author’s note... I need MORE possible of Jack (please)!!!
Can’t wait to see what Sara Cate has in store next!

I loved the Wildflower Duet and Salem and Thayer’s story so so much, This novella was absolutely perfect and I am glad we got just a little bit more of them.
The first 2 books left me heartbroken so this novella helped me get another glimpse at their love story again. No one deserves a HEA more than Salem and Thayer after all the pain they experienced and overcame.
Thank you Micalea this was a perfect ending to an already perfect series💐
Now if only we can get more of Caleb and a possible HEA for him with a certain teacher

I loved everything about Macon & Brooklyn!
Love at first sight is always a hard read for me but Marni can do no wrong.
I’m a sucker for a He Falls First book but what made it even better was the fact that every time Macon pushed for more Brooklyn pushed back.
I loved seeing Brooklyn finally give in and give herself a chance in all that is Macon Spade.
The communication between the two after the secrets they kept hidden come out was refreshing and it was nice to see how they were able to overcome their issues and differences.
Thank you Marni for bringing the spice you certainly did not disappoint with Macon & Brooklyn
This was the first book in the Spade Hotel Series & I already can’t wait for the next one!
