Yeah, I get it. This is part two of a six-part series. That doesn't mean you should leave me with that ending, ladies! Really? That was mean. 😡 (This is my best pouting emoji.)

River (Rose, Skittles, Psyche) Fox continues to lead an interesting life. This isn't a traditional romance as she's an escort and hasn't met her one... yet. I love that we get to see her personal and professional lives.

I like Nathaniel (Candy Aisle Guy / CAG) Reed, even if he has secrets of his own. He definitely removed himself from friend zone territory and is proving to be quite the companion! 🥵🌶🔥 Things get primal and downright naughty. Not only do I love the heat level, but I also love how River is able to let go and live in the moment.

There are some dark elements. It bears repeating: this isn't a safe book, nor is it a traditional romance. There's plenty of dirty fun, several kinks, and a few crossed lines.

My opinions from book one of Kai Briggs solidify. I like the new client, Elijah Duke. My heart goes out to anyone in that situation, and how it concludes is inspiring. The psycho? Yeah, I would've been OK not having him show up, but it is part of her journey. Until the next installment....

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators are Ryan Lee Dunlap and Kallestra Spencer. They were really easy to listen to. The book just flew by thanks to good writing and narration.

Maverick (Rick, Stone) and Giorgina (Gio, Mac, Goldie) are absolutely, deliciously, filthy together. Even when ridiculousness ensues, their chemistry snaps and crackles.

One of the funniest parts is when he gives other names to his "pocket python." (See my review title for another one.) He's insanely over-the-top sometimes. 😄 Of course, I was laughing. He can be a real 🍆, but when he let's his guard down, I couldn't help but like him.

It's obvious this is connected to other books, but having not read them wasn't a deterrent. (I'm too tired to rewrite the sentence to remove the double negative.) I was able to easily follow along.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators are Shane East and Samantha Brentmoor. They are entertaining to listen to. I love Shane's accent, and Samantha does a pretty good job of mimicking it.

Poor Verona Moretti. Being forced to marry one-time childhood friend turned persona non grata Luca Vitale would be bad enough, but when he turns out to be a giant alphahole? Man, oh man. Good thing she's got some naivety and kindness in her court.

Now, I read the second book in the series first, so I knew where this was going, but to actually read it was definitely worth it.

I love how she proves him wrong at every turn. His rose, or rather hate, colored glasses allow him to make so many assumptions. I love how he can't comprehend what he sees. Of course, once things start to click, he still manages to make missteps because his communication skills can use an overhaul. 😄

There are twists and turns. Some are obvious, some less so. All in all, a good, dark foray into this Mafia family. Oh, it's also really steamy with many BDSM elements.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators, Cecily Foster and Vincent Skye, are engaging with the emotions matching the words and situations. I really like them.

I kinda like these big, clumsy polar bear shifters. The stories are entertaining while also bringing plenty of sizzle. Reading in order is recommended.

The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov. She consistently does a good job narrating, and I enjoyed listening.

This is grittier than any other book from this author under either of the pen names I usually read that I can recall. Not a complaint, simply an observation. I actually like that she spread her wings a little.

Of course, as we go through the trials and tribulations that Jayce Hawkins and Charlotte "Peaches" Owens go through, literally and figuratively, I occasionally debated which one drove me crazier. In the end? I think they're fairly even. They both make multiple bone headed decisions throughout, neither doing a good job of learning the lessons the hard way, let alone the easy way (i.e. heeding warnings), until they've repeated their mistakes a few times.

Despite that, I found myself rooting for them, not just as a couple but clearing a path to rid Eastland of the scourge that seems to hang over it like a black cloud. There are sweet and tender moments to go along with the... *shakes head* ...whatever that was, as well as a little humor.

The way this wraps up is a cross between a comedy of errors and a guide on what not to do in a corrupted small town. There's a bow on it all, but I expected better. This is probably my least favorite book from this author. It actually hurts me to acknowledge this.

I read along with the audio book. The narrators are Alan Carlson and Avie Paige. Both did a good job and kept me engaged even when I considered bailing.

Delaina "Chastity" Buchanan's first encounter with Senan Murillo was funny and tempting. I love how she's a combination of shy and forward. Mostly, shy but still cute.

By the time Ander and Brett enter the picture, the heat has definitely risen, and they just make it hotter! It is fun and lighthearted with a little bit of seriousness. When they aren't lost in pleasure, they are usually joking around. I really liked it.

I listened to the audio book. The narrators are Vivienne LaRue and Zachary Johnson. I did enjoy the teasing and fun that they brought to the story.

This is an absolutely perfect way to start my day! This is a quick read and filled with all of the hallmarks of a Vivian Arend story - fun, cute, steamy, funny, and family filled shenanigans.

Not only do I love Rose Fields and Chance Gabrielle together, but I also love who they are apart. They love hard, and even though things progress quickly, I love that they stop, consider it, and forge ahead anyway.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov. She is so easy to listen to, and her accent for Chance is good.

The second collection of vignettes is sweet, silly, full of friendships, a fun boudoir shoot, a surprise party, a baby event, and more. I loved each one. (NOTE: prior reading required.)

Julia Blushing, Zach Sorenson, Ashton Stewart, Sonora Fallen, Madison and Ryan Zhao, and several others received either bonus epilogues or more love and shenanigans added to their stories. I was amused by the lot of them. 🩷😁

Walker and Ivy (Fields) Stone get a bonus story, with an interlude for Ginny Stone and Tucker Stewart. It had me teary-eyed as they welcomed Carter, Chloe, and Harper to the Stone family. There's heartbreak and challenges, but how they handle them is heartwarming. 😢🤧💔💙

I'm glad I got to enjoy these. They are essentially bonus epilogues for three couples and a short story for a fourth. All are wonderful additions to these Heart Falls love stories. 🥰💚👏🎉

Each comes with a surprise from at least one side of the couple. You'll have to see for yourself, but I should note that prior reading is highly recommended.

I'll break it down a little by couple:

Tamara Coleman, along with Caleb, Emma, and Sasha Stone, start us off with their tearful union. It's sweet, tender, and perfect for them. 😢🤧🩵

Ivy Fields gets the kind of wedding that suits her with a man who thinks she hung the stars. Oh heck, I think she feels the same about Walker Stone. 😘

Of course, there are goat shenanigans and all. 😂

This brings us to Kelli James and Luke Stone. Their only plan is no plan. Hehehe.... And the witnesses to all of it take the cake. 😍 Very apropos.

Last but not least, we have Lisa Coleman and her tenderhearted veterinarian, Josiah Ryder. This is the short story. There are a couple of surprises in here, the most obvious of which is Sunshine (not the actual name), but the emu might be the best.

This essentially goes from conception (*brows wiggle*) to birth, with a lot of cameos and crossovers, which I ALWAYS love.

I love the early warning system they found themselves with. It provides plenty of chuckles. I also love the passion and understanding these two have. It's a great addition to the collection.

I read along as I listened to the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov. She's a really good narrator. It's hard to find new things to say when you've listened to and reviewed dozens of the books she's narrated, so I'm gonna recommend you give her a try.

For my first time reading Lexxi James, this was apparently a good place to start. The tease at the beginning with them hitched was interesting, but it's exactly that as this ends with a cliffhanger. (It's book one of a trilogy.)

Now, I need book two (and three). The push, pull, and overall chemistry between Kennedy Mullvain (Luciano) and Enzo D’Angelo is captivating. The way things end is just... ARGH!

I read and listened to the audio book. The narrators are Rose Dioro and Patrick Zeller, both of whom I really like. I look forward to continuing the series with them.
