Beefcake has been the highlight of this series so far so I had very high expectations, and although I did adore him and this book, idk I was expecting more from it.
But he was spectacular as always. He really is the greatest and so so sweet. I love how he immediately fell in like with his new doctor and made his dad eat his words lmao.
And although in the very beginning, I hated how Nash changed his mind so fast about Emerson, it kind of gave me the ick, I still grew to love these two together a lot. She just fit in their family and their group so seamlessly. And the way she cared for Beefcake was so sweet. They made the cutest family all together!
And the vibes in this book were so good like all summery and cozy perfectness. I wanna move to a small town, to a cottage right next to a lake and a hot af neighbour. I wanted to jump into the book and live her life ahah.

I’m always so excited to dive into a new Laura Pavlov series! I just love how she introduces us to a new world and set of character⭒ Rating: 4/5 stars
I’m always so excited to dive into a new Laura Pavlov series! I just love how she introduces us to a new world and set of characters and she rocked this one! It was such a nice introduction to Magnolia Falls! I already like these characters a lot and can’t wait to get to know them all better.
When it came to the romance in this one, hmm it was a little too fast for me, ngl. They be saying I love you 50% in and that scene just made me cringe and it wasn’t the only one. Ugh insta love just isn’t for me, sometimes it doesn’t bother me but this one just wasn’t the case. Anyway, I still loved both main characters as individuals and I did really like them as a couple too, I just didn’t feel right about the pacing of it all.
But there were many other things I enjoyed about this book: I loved watching Romeo train for his fight! It was so fun and I loved how Demi was helping from the beginning. She was so sweet, and in the beginning, he didn’t really deserve it because he was a certified jerk to her.
I absolutely loved Demi’s bestie and Romeo’s whole group of friends! The little kid was an absolute gem, I just loved every scene with him! I’m so excited for his dad’s book and every one of the guys really ahah. Bring on book 2!
The whole drama with Demi’s family was crazy but also made this story quite emotional for me. I’m praying that her brother finally gets his life together and we get to see him clean and on a journey to happiness because despite it all, he was a nice guy and I would love to see him happy and even getting his own book. Now when it came to the Dad, my gosh that man had so many opportunities to make it right and he just kept making things worse. Ngl, I hope her mother throws him to the curb. What a jerk.
I’m really hoping we’ll still get to see these two a lot in the rest of the series and see how they’re doing, and what’s going on with them and the whole family situation as well.

This was such a great sequel. I have loved Nash since book 1 and I was so excited for this book. He was in such a funk after the events that took place in TWNGO and Lina was the perfect recipe to get him out of that rut. These two were absolute fire together even before the idea of them was there. I just loved them together. I loved what Lina did for a living and how it all came together, it was awesome, and provided so much angst and emotion, and yet it was just perfect for their story.
All the dog scenes were either hilarious or just so sweet. I love animals in books>>
One thing I do have to complain about a little is that it felt like I read a whole book before I even reached the 50% mark. I swear. And I went through all the emotions in just that bit too. I found myself crying more than once and everything. Like I said these two were fun together but also bought on all the emotions.
I am so excited for Luciane and Sloane! Have been since the first mention of them but after this book's epilogue? I am so damn curious about what will happen!...more

This was cute! I loved the hero a lot, even though not much in the beginning. He was jerk but then he became a gem. He really showed a very different side once he opened up. And from there, their relationship just flourished and just got sweeter.
I honestly loved that they became very close friends before anything else. The whole thing was just adorable! I loved her dog and how she brought them closer together. And the hero’s brother omg! I loved him so much. Kinda hope he’ll get a story in the future!...more

Well, let me just start off by saying, I’m glad to have been wrong. I thought it would have been harder for these two to find their way back after that bomb drop, but that wasn’t the case and I’m really glad. They had been through enough already. They needed wins. And they got them! I’m so glad Savannah finally got what she deserved. After four seasons of mischief, I’m glad she was finally stopped.
Overall, this installment was super sweet. They finally got to just enjoy each other, being together, starting a family, and the happily ever after they deserved. Watching them become parents to a little girl was everything and what was even better was watching them meet their son. Gosh, I love how Lisa dealt with the whole thing. It was so heart-warming and just perfect. Make sure you read the bonus epilogue!
I loved that we got over 50% of the book of just them finally enjoying life together and doing everything they had been planning. We get to watch them really start their lives together, with every puzzle piece falling into its place and all headaches and heartbreaks going away or being healed. Favorite Mistake truly was just the perfect ending to this series.
On another note, I’m really excited for what’s next! And I loved the scene where we get to find out who’s next, I had been waiting both for that scene throughout this series and news about him since Ben’s series so I was glowing reading that scene hehe.

No Mistake was another heart-wrenching instalment, beginning to end, with some sweet, hopeful and sexy moments in between. These two are so flipping cute. I just wish the universe wasn’t out to separate them. They deserve so much better. Lisa better make their ending an epic one and deserving of their love story!
I’m glad that whole baby daddy and his wife situation wasn’t as bad as it seemed (so far, at least). But everything else is just making me mad and hella curious. Why are all these women against them and how did they all come together? Ugh, it’s so frustrating! I hate them all. And the way, this book ended broke my heart. I was praying something like this wouldn’t happen. I just wish Tessa had been forthcoming early on, the fact that he found out the way he did, on the day he did, man ...more

It’s always so bittersweet coming to an end of a loved series. The Honeymountain series has been one of my favs so far from Laura. And I wouldn’t say she saved the best for last, but definitely one of them!
Dylan’s story, like herself, was a blast! Her and Wolf, my goodness. How I loved them. They were fun from the very first moment. I loved their opposite of meet cute and it just got better from there. Their banter and their pranks had me laughing out loud. This was definitely Laura’s funniest book yet.
It was so fun to watch them fight their attraction to each other. I enjoyed every ‘I hate you’ that came from their lips but obviously meant something very different. Every time they hung out when they didn’t ‘need’ to. Every little moment.
I love how Wolf was there for Dylan, no questions asked. How they got along so well with each other’s families. How everyone else could see they were the real deal except them.
I honestly just adored these two. They were such a perfect match!! And I loved their story.
If you’re looking for a good laugh and a heartfelt story, pick this up immediately!
I’m gonna miss all these characters so much. But I loved the surprise at the end of the book, it might mean we’ll get to see this family again very soon.

It feels so good to read another college romance from MH! She always, and I do mean always, rocks them. No exception.
Kiss and Tell was no different. These two pulled me into their orbit and didn’t want to let go. As always I devoured this book and enjoyed it sooo much. I’m already dying for more of this series, super excited for a lot of the next stories!
As Maya always manages, I fell in love with this group of friends, even though some of them made me question their morals in the beginning of the book with the ‘football over every single thing’ BS.
This story had a lot of emotional moments and plotlines that made me tear up and had my heart aching. I hate their freaking coach so much. I bet he’s gonna be a thorn on everyone’s side forever. I really wanted to see him get the boot! Ugh.
Kiss and Tell has it all: spice, a great love story, angst, an amazing group of friends. It’s a great book and new series kicker. I can’t wait to get more of this world!

Oh Gus, I had no idea just how much I would love you. This dude surprised me so much, in the best way!
This was the funniest book in the series. I laughed so darn much. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much while reading a book. Gus is a goof but he revealed himself to be so much more!
He had game and he was willing to go to any lengths to win the girl. It was hilarious and so sweet to watch. And the way he fell in love with Olive was swoony. I loved their friendship!!
Our single mom was special too. Still grieving her late husband, she lived for her little girl. But when the hot neighbor came in to help build her book shelves and became her little girl’s bestfriend, he started to ship at her walls and became the muse for her novel. He became impossible to resist, specially when he upped his charm. It was so awesome to watch their relationship bloom.
I really loved this book. It had so much sweetness and heart, it was hilarious and had the most amazing characters. It definitely became my fav book so far in this series!

I saw people saying this was the best one of the series, and I might have only read The Pool Boy but nope, it was not! It might have been the smuttiest and kinkiest, yes but no way was this better than TPB.
I did not like how the characters went about their relationships, all three of them and that kind of ruined it a little for me. It was still a sweet, risqué and steamy af story but I wish some things had been dealt with differently.

I was super excited to start this series, I will legit read anything Laura Pavlov writes but I have never read Willow Aster before so I was excited for that too! And let me tell you, it did not disappoint one bit!
Wanted Wed or Alive was super fun, very heartfelt and has the most amazing family that I’m already dying to get more of. I already see an obsession starting over these Taylor brothers. But don’t worry, I loved Penny too and her story arc if it is what I’m thinking after that little tease, I’m already dying for it!
I loved Jesse and Mya! They were so fun together. The way Jesse just stumbled over himself and said the funniest, honest or craziest stuff around Mia because she flustered him was so cute but most of all funny! And my gosh, these two’s chemistry was off the freaking charts!! Hot damn.
I’m simply dying already for the next book and to get more of all these characters, including more of these two!! Laura and Willow did a fantastic job with this book and I’m really so excited about the rest of the series! They created a very addicting book, I simply couldn’t put it down and finished it in one sitting!
