So many ups and downs

 I just finished Fractured Freedom by Shain Rose. 




I really really liked it...but there were a few things that bothered me about it (Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐). This is one of the first times I have really taken notes while reading the book so here goes my thoughts as I read.

From the very beginning the steam starts out strong (Overall steam factor was like a 10/5 it was super hot). Dante is one of the dirtiest talkers I have ever met, like holy hell batman. Boy is he ever possessive too. I loved it! Plus this continues throughout the book so even better.

“I have to put this pu$$y on a pedestal so I can eat like it’s on a platter, baby. Then I’m going to fu(k you at just the right angle, make sure you remember who makes you feel this way.”

Both Deliah and Izzy going through pretty hard times, very different from each others though. From the beginning, not knowing fully Delilah's struggles, I truly felt bad for Izzy. She feels so unwanted, and in actuality is making something of her life but can't tell anyone which then makes them believe the worst in her. 

My heart then breaks for Dante, getting that Dear John letter on top of confronting Delilah and getting spurned once again. Delilah has her reasons and it's also part of the trope of I love you but think you don't love me therefore I won't communicate that love with you and round and round we go. 



So years pass and they cross paths again and the sparks fly but Lilah is trying to separate from everything from back home (they are in Puerto Rico now) including Dante. She has her reasons, which are valid but it doesn't change the fact that she should really communicate better not only with Dante but her family as well. 

Then there comes the jealousness, both of them goad each other and it becomes some BS that they both need to stop. That's something that bothered me, not just in this book but in everyone I encounter with this, it seems like the heroine never gets over the hero to the point of no one coming close to him but the hero has no trouble sleeping with a whole slew of women. Maybe I'm reading too much into that and maybe I'm holding the man to a higher standard, but that's how I feel every time I read that particular situation. 

On the whole I really enjoyed it to the point of not being able to put it down, even if there were some parts I didn't love.

The Wedding Agreement and The Atelier Assignment were both amazingly good! I could not stop smiling this whole book. I absolutely loved Imogen and Noah. You can tell right off the bat they are going to be perfect for each other! Noah is in need of a bride to fulfill a dream of his grandfa's, to see him happy and married. Imogen wants to help a friend and get family and friends to stop bothering her about being single. Little do they plan for the chemistry and fireworks between the themselves. I found myself laughing so hard at so many different parts. Then frustrated as only one can be when the couple can't communicate properly. They overcome so much that they both think are obstacles to them being together. 5/5 ⭐️, so damn good! The spice was utter fire 🔥 too!! A must read for sure! Zeke and Catrin, Mr. Grumpy and Ms. Sass. The best way I know to describe them. They argue about almost everything and then make up spectacularly. They are perfect for each...

Tysin by Brooke O'Brien was so good!  It will take you on such an amazing emotional rollercoaster. I don't always read prequels but I did in this case and if you do anything read the prequel Sins of a Rebel. It makes it so much easier to understand the dynamic between Tysin and Kyla. On top of that it emotionally broke me so of course you should get emotionally wrecked too 😁 Tysin and Kyla have such a history to over come. He hurt her beyond words and continues to hurt her when she joins the tour. I'm not going to lie at the beginning I was so mad at Tysin for the way he treated Kyla. He makes out like their history means nothing. In a way Kyla believes the same but in the way that she thinks she meant nothing to him.  Kyla also has her relationship with her fiancé Canon that she has to maintain while out on the tour. Plus contending with her residual feelings for Tysin and being in such close proximity to him. She has to work through her feelings f...
