I literally grabbed this on KU as soon as I put down Rebel Soul. Not because I liked Colton but because I was so hooked on this author's writing style and I’m loving this series. And I devoured it in an afternoon. I am so thankful that this series is in KU, and I could just devour it without thought. Although you could absolutely read all of these as stand alones or in pretty much any order the only thing is there are semi spoilers with them being set at different times and the main characters being connected and making cameo appearances in each other’s books. But if you’re like me it won’t affect the story (mainly because give it a week and I will have forgotten their names (I am terrible with names))

Anyhow Colton started this book like the huge stick up his arse we already knew him to be. And he went above and beyond to make him unlikable. In fact if it wasn’t for how amazing and resilient Ash was I would have wanted him to get a junk punch and been left in the mud. Because man was, he an absolute acehole. Except for when it came to his son. But Ash, she was so awesome, and she was the absolute most caring and beautiful soul ever. I loved the way she absolutely trusted her instincts and led with her heart, even when I wanted her to be swept off her feet by someone who would worship her and fight for her from the moment, he laid eyes on her.

Luckily for Colton, Ash wasn’t perturbed by him in the least as she fell madly in love with his adorable son. Also, luckily for Colt when he finally removed the earlier mentioned stick he gave great boyfriend. And even luckier this was written in dual point of view so even when he was being a jerk, we got some insight into him and it made it him a little more human and forgivable for his actions.

Unfortunately for me I just got a teaser for Best Laid Plans and now I have another book on my TBR I can’t wait to read. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finally read this authors books despite having half of them on my TBR mountain. But I can’t be upset because now I have so many awesome reads to look forward to.

Ok so this book was kind of a complete contrast. I've put it down thinking how light and fluffy and sweet it was, but I had some serious sad, deep moments in there too. They just were so beautifully balanced with the sweetness that they didn't cloud it.

The main catalyst for Stacia going to stay with West wasn't really focused on. Which was good and bad, I did have a few moments where I wondered what was going on with that, but it wasn't really relevant to the story. And after reading the blurb I actually am so glad that the book was nothing like I expected.

Having West's point of view was awesome because he was so sweet and at other times so alpha, it was nice to see what was going on in his head. I didn't want to put this book down once I got into it. And the complete lack of relationship drama made it so easy to read.

Everything about this book just worked and I am so glad I picked it up today. I'm going to race over to KU and get Colton's book now. Toodles.

This is another one of those books that's sat on my TBR for years. So, in my current I don't know what to read funk I decided it had to be on my TBR to try clean that up a little. And honestly looking at the 2k books that have been added over the last 10 years I realised how vast my tastes are but also how much they have changed.

But today this book was the one that spoke to me, and it was in KU (bonus) so I jumped in and didn't put it down. Luckily, it's a reasonably quick read. However, it sure did pack a lot of interesting story into the pages. I feel like I got a great feel for the characters and who they were. I loved the history between Brock and AJ.

I also got enough twists and turns to keep the story interesting and make me need to see how things were going to unfold. It was hot as hell and equally as sweet with plenty of emotions packed in. It was the perfect lazy Sunday afternoon read. And I am off to KU to grab the next book. Toodles.

The first thought that came to mind when I put this book down was that they saved the best for last but then I sat back and reflected and honestly, they were all equally awesome. Each book had a different trope, and each sister had their own uniqueness and each of the men had their own history that made each book different enough that I binged all four of these back-to-back without feeling like I needed a break. They could be read as stand alones but they didn’t recap the family history, they just covered it from their own point of view and I loved that they were each affected so differently because that’s life’s beauty.

I really expected to get Isabel’s story a lot sooner in the line-up after seeing the moment that Aiden and Isabel first crossed paths and assuming he was going to be the love interest for her story. So, waiting until the last book was just a huge tease. Add in the fact that Isabel was definitely the most closed off sister and I never really felt like I knew her as well as the others. And once I started reading her book, I realised I really didn’t know anything about her. Which makes sense in the scheme of her age when her mother left.

Aiden and that prologue had me nervous that he wasn't the best choice for Isabel. I always hate the dead spouse thing. It's such a tightrope to get the balance right for the second chance. Especially when there are children involved. But it was done so well and Aiden's initial hesitance even made it better. Obviously, Isabel knew that found family is as precious as born family, so her love and acceptance of Aiden's past made it even more of a non-issue.

But now I'm devastated that the series is over. Although I have a few more Wolves books to read so hopefully I'll catch up with these guys again soon. Although I accidentally read Emmett's book first without realising who he was. Not that I can be upset since he led me to this awesome binge.

Geez these books just keep hitting me in the feels and you would think by now I would be expecting it a little more but nope. I don't even know how I thought this book was going to play out with the whole story being based around a whoops baby, but I really didn't think it would have that much depth.

Not that the author's books haven't proven to me that she can deliver the deep, just that I come out of each of them with a smile and an OMG I need the next book now. I think I forget that I spent half of the book going holy shit how are they going to deal with this emotional fallout. And then the Ward family close ranks and remind me how badly I want to be adopted by a fictional family.

So, Lia was awesome and completely mature and well-grounded, and all boss bitch and I loved her. She put her baby and her emotional health over her hormones and honestly deserves a medal since she had a hot soccer player with a British accent waiting for her in bed. Jude was ok. He was an idiot, but in that good way where he realised it and went right to work to make everything perfect for Lia.

I am loving this Ward sister binge and getting so much of Paige and Logan and these athletes these ladies keep finding. I have been dying for Isabel's book since Molly's book and yes, it's already on my kindle. I love KU.
