So it should be easy to stay away.
It should be easy to not dream about his dark and mean eyes, or his cruel but sexy smirks. It should be easy to not think about the guy who ruined her happily ever after.
Only it's not.
Sometimes his intense stares make her heart race, and those smirks of his make her breathless.
But it needs to stop.
Because she has a mission: to get back together with her ex-boyfriend. And Echo will be damned if she keeps dreaming about Reign.
The guy who not only makes her sick with hate but who also happens to be her ex's best friend.

The HateSick Diaries is one of my most highly anticipated reads of 2023 so you can imagine my level of excitement when I saw this on my kindle. It had everything that I wanted and I was chomping at the bit to start it. This story had all the makings to be one of my favorite reads but sadly it fell short.
Echo and Reign have had this hate filled relationship from the moment they met and it hasn't gotten better over the years. Their attraction to each other has made things even more difficult and when you put into play that Echo is dating Reign’s best friend, it becomes extremely messy.
I won't lie and say that I didn't like parts of the book because I did. I loved the chemistry between Reign and Echo and I really liked the flashbacks in the beginning but I was expecting more from this story. The plot didn't go anywhere and it felt too repetitive and dragged on. I was also not a fan of certain intimate scenes that were just too much for me and I think that could've been dialed back a bit on the talking.
Aside from those things, If you’re a fan of this author and have the previous books in the series, then you’re going to enjoy this one.

I could probably write a whole ass essay on this book, but since I would have to spoil the fuck out of it to do that, I'm going to have to do my best to relay what I can in this vague enough review.
The Wolf and the Wildflower starts out as a one night stand turned days long affair between Aster and Scythe, but it quickly evolves into a complicated, layered story of fate, betrayal, pride, heartbreak, and love filled with twists, turns, and tragedy. If you don't shed a few tears reading this book, you need to check your pulse to see if you're still alive! The intense emotions these characters felt poured off the pages straight into my heart, and I felt every single one of them.
Ella gave me all the emotional torment that made me fall in love with her writing when I read her first NA romance and swirled it together with fantasy and magic. She topped it off with a hefty dose of hot sex and sweet nothings and created utter perfection! This is definitely one of my favorite fantasies she's written thus far.
From the beginning, there are clearly secrets being withheld, but every time you think you've learned them all, you find out you're wrong. Each new bit of information changes so much about the characters and the story, and some of it is absolutely gut-wrenching. Everything is expertly revealed with perfect timing for maximum impact, and it delivers exactly what it's supposed to.
I love Aster and Scythe, but one of the most interesting characters that brought some of the strongest emotions out of me was Rorn. That's probably an unpopular statement, but it's the truth. He is such a tragic character to me, and as fucked up as some of the stuff he did was, my heart broke for him, too.
That being said, I don't excuse him for his unforgivable actions. I do wish things could have ended differently where he was concerned though, and I don't feel even a little bit bad about that. In fact, I bet if we got this story from his point of view, it would have destroyed us all.
I credit Ella's amazing writing for all of my complicated feelings. She could have written Rorn as a one dimensional asshole that didn't know what he had and betrayed the one he loved most for no good reason, but instead, she gave him so much complexity that I'll never forget this story.
Fantasy romance fans, this one's for you!

You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?
Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.
And that groom? He’s my ex.
TEMPT, an all-new scorching hot age gap, forbidden, small town romance, featuring a plus-sized heroine and her ex’s irresistible dad from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now available!
I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.
(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)
It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.
Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke.
In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.
In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.
The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.
But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.
Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.

The one thing that I really like about this author is that she gives you all the feels when it comes to small town romance. You’re going to get swept up in the quaint little town, the loving people, and the thrill of finding that new kind of love and witnessing every moment from start to finish. This is what she brings to every book and this story was no different.
Millie Rose has always had big dreams of doing something on her own eventually but being a wedding planner for her family’s business is more than enough for her right now. She’s single, happy with her family life, and is enjoying being in the present. But one night at a hotel bar changes everything and decides to go out of her comfort zone, Millie embarks on something that she swore she would never do. When that moment resurfaces a few weeks later and makes things in her personal life more complicated, she has to decide whether if some things are worth fighting for.
I don't want to go too deep in the premise of the story but I will say that I really liked that this was a good forbidden romance. It took it’s time in the important parts and the characters actually spent a lot of time getting to know each other and building something good even though it was done in private the majority of the time. Despite a few bumps in the road that threw their romance off track for a little bit, there was still something that was genuine and deep with these characters and you felt their love. It was slow burn, hypnotic and it made you want to be a part of the family.
If you’re looking for a small town eyebrow raising romance, then this one’s for you.

This Life and All the Rest by Brit Benson is LIVE and FREE with Kindle Unlimited!
It’s just beginning.
Lennon Washington has been the star of every dream, every nightmare, since the day I lost her.
Since the moment I let my demons win, and she slipped through my fingers.
Her memory has haunted me.
Changed me.
Broken me and remade me.
And I’d all but given up on us.
Now tragedy has brought her back into my life.
My secrets are at her disposal,
Hers are unraveling quickly,
And every emotion we’ve tried to deny is returning with a vengeance.
But we’re not kids anymore.
We have changed drastically.
And with each new ache, I start to wonder,
Is there a place for us in this life,
Or will we have to try again in the next one?
***
This Life and All the Rest is the conclusion to the Next Life Duet.
It has a guaranteed HEA.
It is necessary to read book one, The Love of My Next Life, before reading this one.

Blurb:
From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard, writing as MA Heard, comes a new, full-length Dystopian Romance novel.
Over the past four decades, the dome over our Ecocity has protected us from the deviants living in the forbidden territory. Since the great war ended, our lives have consisted of virtue and order.
Once a year, seven people are sent out to the forbidden lands to see if there are any deviants worth saving. None have returned, only increasing people's fear of what lies beyond the safe border of the dome.
When I’m chosen as a crusader, the world, as I know it, is ripped from under my feet. In the forbidden territory, I learn things I never dreamed existed – a world I’ve been totally oblivious to. I meet people who freely show emotion and affection. People who dare make their own choices.
It’s frightening and the opposite of everything I’ve ever known.
Suddenly, I have to fight for my life. I’m thrown into chaos where time is running out to become a skilled fighter who will be an asset for the coming war. But my mind’s bombarded with questions – who’s right and who’s wrong? Which side should I fight on?
I don’t belong in this world filled with cruelty and depravity.
Then there’s Chance, my reluctant trainer. The man is the definition of deadly and so attractive I struggle to think straight around him. I’m also pretty sure he would love nothing more than to snap my neck. Cruel, impatient, and harsh, he’s a brute who seems annoyed by my existence.
Honestly, I’m not sure I will survive living with the deviants, never mind fighting in a war. Unless I find my courage and learn to fight for myself, I fear this new world will crush me.
