How it fits: standalone, no series markings on GR MPG /book/show/2...

Option 1
The Heart of St. Nick

This read like a good Hallmark christmas movie. All the feelgood and the MC having doubts about whether he should stay in the sleepy little christmas town or go back to LA

Review:
This was such an amazingly written book. The relationship between the MCs was so genuine and it was a slow build throughout the book. To see the struggle Gideon went through because of his autism was so genuine and to see how Nicky accepted and helped him through it all was awe inspiring.

Review:
This was a gut wrenchingly beautiful novel of mental health in sports and the people that can support you. Mickey was jut a tortured MC and we saw all facets of him in the story. His character development was top tier and I just wanted to hug him throughout the entire book. Jaysen is so freaking wholesome and beautiful. I loved that it wasn't just Mickey struggling alone but some of the side characters were also struggling and it made him seem like what he was going through was natural and part of life. I could not put this book down and finished it in a day. I cannot wait for more of their story since it left on such a cliffhanger or even stories about some of the side characters who felt like main characters.

Even after the forth time this is still one of my favourite books. I love the story and I love the MC. And I still think it is a shame that this book is a standalone. I would really like to read a sequel.


The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe

Review: This was an interesting retelling of Peter Pan (a first for me). I was familiar with two of the names but that was about it. I'm not familiar enough with the plot of the original story to really know how this one diverges from that one. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the story, and I'm looking forward to the next one.


Book: Way Down Deep by Charlotte Stein and Cara McKenna

Twisted Love by C.M. Wondrak

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review: I love dark romances and thoroughly enjoyed this one. It had age gap, stalking, obsession....all the things thst I look for in a dark romance. I've never read a character like Tenley so that was interesting. Her thinking process [and Enzo's] was so so messed up and I just loved them as a couple. The love that they had - albeit a twisted one - was enjoyable. I will, without a doubt, reread this book.

All in all a good book. There were phases that I thought why don't you talk to each other insted of assuming but in the end I liked the book well enough to start reading the second book in the series.
