The tension was oh-so good and I was hooked. Then we got to the halfway point and they got together and then never. stopped. f*cking. So naturally, I got bored. It went downhill from there. Stupid third-act breakup that wasn't necessary in the slightest and then they came together 10 pages from the end.
I would've loved more buildup and fewer hookups lol. Then it probably would've been 5 stars.

I'm not usually a huge fan of long romance books, and this was pushing 500 pages but I loved every bit of it. Her timeline of the book is laid out so well and I never get bored. It is the perfect slow burn with just the right amount of tension. ALSO no third-act break-up scene which is always a plus.
The end was a bit heavy; it hurt the heart, but Meghan Quinn literally created the best 'found family' with this hockey team. The spice was also HIGH. Holy. Definitely the spiciest one she's written.
The book was also PACKED with the best tropes - hockey, opposites attract, roommates, forced proximity, and one bed!!! I also adore every character in this world and love how we see Huxley in this one quite a bit. Interconnected couple series are generally my favourite and I NEED Posey's book now. ...more

This one made me shed a few tears and the FMC acted like a damsel in distress a couple of times, but those are the only two reasons why this book is 4 stars and not higher. I honestly kind of loved the Insta-love romance and obviously adored all the other characters. It's not my favourite book of hers, but I definitely enjoyed it :)...more

First of all, when they meet she's 17 and he's 25. Although nothing sexual really happens, the way Viktor talks about her is just ugh. No thank you. I love age-gap romance books, but making her 18 would've fixed all my problems. He and his friends kept referring to her as a child and I was just weirded out.
It gets worse. He has an unconscious sex kink. Basically, he likes to f*ck her while she's asleep or unconscious... Immediatly no. The book even started to redeem itself a bit, but then this came up in the last couple of chapters and I couldn't do it. Fucking you while you're unconscious is my favourite thing to do UM WHAT...?
If you can get past those two things, then you might actually enjoy the book. I didn't hate it, but it is far from one of my favourites. ...more

It was a cuAfter seeing countless tiktok recommendations for this book I figured it was finally time to read it. It’s about what I expected it to be. It was a cute, small-town romance!! I did enjoy it, but it’s not one of my absolute favourite romance reads.
The characters were probably my favourite part of this book. I adored Kip from beginning to end. He’s like a teddy bear in a tough brown man’s body. He wanted the best for everyone and wasn’t afraid to say it straight up. I also loved Willa (Summer's best friend). She didn’t come up a lot in the book, but I always laughed at something she said. Rhett was okay… He gave hot, protective vibes, but just wasn’t for me. He treated Summer like a princess (haha get it?) and he’s also a huge teddy bear, but still didn’t make it to be book bf list hahaha!! I really liked Summer. I found her so easy to relate to and her storyline was so well written. She’s just one of those really good characters. Hated Winter, Marina and Rob FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
Speaking of those three, I wish we got more closure with them. I would’ve liked another chapter to wrap up the storyline with them. After all that had happened, I’m just left with more questions and zero answers!
I also feel like the book lost sight of the original plotline… Summer was hired to clean up his image and ensure he keeps his sponsorships going. This was talked about in the first 30% of the book and that was it - No talk of sponsorships or brands after that!! It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I wish that storyline was wrapped up too.
All in all, it’s a cute read :) 3.5/5 stars!...more

I had doubts about this book considering it was a whopping 570 pages, but I breezed through it in less than 24 hours. The beginning plot and characters had me hooked and I could not put this book down. Things We Never Got Over had everything I want in a book, but was still such a unique book!!!
Naomi was amazing and I loved both her qualities of selflessness, but also standing up for herself. She made me laugh and smile throughout this whole book. And then we have Mr. Knox Morgan and holy fuck. This man was everything and I freaking loved it (yes, there maybe he did annoy me sometimes), but overall we have a new book boyfriend.
The side characters were absolute perfection - I loved Wayley and Lou and Sloane and Nash and everyone else ohmygosh. They all added to the story in some way and I adored how they protected Naomi every chance they could.
Time to go read every other book that Lucy Score has written :) ...more

Overall, this book was good, but it wasn't amazing.
One of my LEAST favourite things in a book is (view spoiler)[ when the girl doesn't tell the guy she is a virgin and then he goes too hard and of course, it had to happen here. I don't have a clue why it bothers me so much; it just does. (hide spoiler)] Other than THAT it was okay... 3 stars...more

This book started out SO GOOD. I truly believed it was going to be one of the best fantasy romance books of my life... Then I got to the 50% mark. The world-building, tension, buildup and overall storyline were perfect in the beginning and I could not stop reading. When the couple finally got together I lost interest so quickly. It lost the spark and my interest. It became very predictable and the plot wasn't engaging for me anymore, so it was a chore to finally finish this book:/

Raylan and Riona complimented each other so well and I loved both of the POV's!! Ahh and now I'm onto the 6th and final book in the series :)...more
