Wow I loved this so much. Packed such an emotional punch, I lost track of how many times I cried (and swooned).

This was sweet, with a surprise emotional punch but the MCs just felt really flat to me. Leo was almost too nice and Olive was such a jumble of cranky, awkward and flirty I never really got a good sense of who she was.

I could not get past the plot holes. I don’t expect KU mafia smut to be the finest piece of literature I’ve ever read but a girl’s gotta have some standards!

I loved all of the rep in this book and the angsty, emotional vibes but unfortunately for me, the MCs had more chemistry on the cover than they did in the story.

Laura Wood is officially an auto-buy author for me now. This had so much charm and wit but didn’t skimp out on the yearning and the chemistry. I’m going to have the biggest book hangover  😭

Incredibly thorough but still full of heart, it truly honors all of the women. My only complaint was the narration, it was so slow, I had to turn it up to almost 2x speed  just to get to a normal speaking pace.

This was beautifully written and parts absolutely captivated me but overall I could not get into this. I had to force myself to finish it. I love V.E.’s writing but this one just didn’t hook me like the others.
