Review: Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan
Telicia’s Review (Short) I experienced every emotion. I love August, he’s perfect inside and out. I hate Caleb I wished death on him most of the book. I relate to Lo so much, as much as she loved Iris growing up, she envies her too. Iris & Sarai’s bond/love for each other is beautiful. I cried at some parts, re-read certain parts because it made me so happy. It’s a must-read!!! 🥰 Check out Long Shot here: https://amzn.to/32UOafH
Review: Block Shot by Kennedy Ryan
Telicia’s Review (Short) After meeting August in Long Shot I didn’t think his brother could be any better. I WAS WRONG! Jared. Jared. Jared. That man there. He wasn’t this super good guy that was nice to everyone, he was just nice to her and oh how I wanted to be her the entire book. Granted Banner is this super smart, biggest heart amazing woman that I’m just like, nope I can’t compare. I was legit jealous the entire time 🤣. Opposite attract and I guess they belong together 🤣 A beautiful story. 🥰 To see what Telicia is talking about, check out Block Shot for yourself here: https://amzn.to/2opgW9l

Review: Getting Schooled by Christina C. Jones
Renée’s Review Another great read by Christina C. Jones. Book one of the Wright Brothers series is a nice introduction to this family. I started backward and read a later one first. So, it was cool seeing how it all started with Jason and Reese. The thing I love most about Reese & Jason was their chemistry from the jump. The back and forth had me laughing because I could see it. I have a smart mouth so it was real for me. Both are non-traditional students in college which simply means they’re older than the average student. It also means that they have a little more life experience…

Review: Let Me Free You by Alexandria House
Bridgette’s Review (Short) This is book four of the McClain Brothers series. I was so wrong about how I thought this story would go lol. Neil and his significant other seemed to be the right fit for one another. They both were at desperate times in their lives and needed what the other possessed to start their new journey. The McClain family knows how to come together in a crisis! A great end to a Great series! Telicia’s Review Neil McClain had me like “Big South who” I loved all the McClain men after getting to hear their story but nobody topped Big South until Neil. I was intrigued by…
