I am so grateful to have been gifted with the opportunity to read this ARC by Katherine Bitner through BookFunnel.
What a cute little small town romance read. Believe me when I say I am more used to hard hitting spice *😏* to go with my romances of different kinds but this kept me invested even with its soft spice. LOL. I loved the love story between Rhett, the tough country boy that loves his whiskey and sidekick hound, and Audrey, the sweetest money bag lass that just needed a country boy to call her darlin' to mend her broken heart. I usually read books where the FMC is the only one that gets her heart broken but there was a little heartbreak for our country boy and it really pulled at my heartstrings reading how much he realized he loved love. This story was cute as hell!

This was my first billionaire, age gap book and it was...interesting. This book does touch on many traumatic topics that can easily trigger, so please keep that in mind and read the Author's note prior to moving forward. At first, I was not sure about how I felt about the book but as the story went on, I was in it. It gave me soap opera vibes and I was down for it. The shocking twists and dizzying turns kept me from putting the story down! I welcomed the crazy drama!
The traumatic parts were difficult to read so it definitely made me root for the "I will burn the world down" and "I will destroy anyone who hurt you" moments 10x more. This book has a sprinkle of BDSM and is pretty spicy.
There were quite a bit of characters introduced so it was a bit hard to keep up with who was who. I know this was a book written to be #4 in a series and could be read as a standalone but I think I would have been more connected to the story and the characters if I read the books in order to get to know everyone better.

Looking for Alaska by John Green
1.0
I personally didn't enjoy this book that much. I only kept reading because it seemed as if there was going to be this great reveal...or this great twist to the story and by the end of it my reaction was "that's it??" I liked The Fault in Our Stars so much and enjoyed the writing in that book that I was expecting this great story in Looking For Alaska but I didn't fall in love with it.
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
4.0
"Love can make you immortal."
I enjoyed this book because it explored so many different aspects of love. Love with family, friends, romance, music. This book made me feel and made me think of "what if's?" Such a great read that I am anticipating the movie and I'm on my way to get the sequel, Where She Went.
