"ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED IN VEGAS AFTER BEING LEFT AT THE ALTER??? GAG ME

First off, thank you Berkley, NetGalley and Simone for the arc of Ride With Me, out now! <3

I just adore Simone's writing, and this one had so much yearningggggggg from Thomas that I just want him. I am by no means an expert on F1 (I don't watch it at all) but F1 books??? F1 books written by Simone??? Catch me being the biggest F1 supporter! Simone has the ability to write stories about things I understand nothing about and give a new meaning to the world.

Both Stella and Thomas have to redeem themselves in the eyes of the public. Stella our lovely fmc was just left at the alter and crashed out on social media. Thomas did a little hate spew in private but was outed by someone close to him. When their worlds collide at a bachelor/bachelorette party, they start to talk and flirt a little, but never did they expect to wake up married.

I just love a man who simps, a man who yearns, a man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And that my friends, is Thomas. Simone gave us the number one simp in the world and that was Dev (my man my man my man) but now we have Thomas and I'll be giggling with the next books in the series, because I will be sat waiting for more yearners.

Stella is a strong fmc (strong being the key word, cause girlie I would have folded for Thomas a lot sooner than she did) but also, I 100% understand her reservations because hello after being left at the alter I would have crashed out too and probably do worse. But my girl has her successful bakeries, they continue to go viral, and she is now loved by a man who wants to see her succeed (he bought her all the equipment needed when she moved in with him and idk y'all I might have shed a few tears, because the thoughtfulness is insaneeeeee). I love seeing her relationships grow stronger as she becomes the person she once was but better. She grows beautifully even after being pegged down because of life.

Thomas "my wife" Maxwell-Brown, sir you were so down bad it was everything. The amount of "my wife" scenes had me gasping. Him communicating with people after wronging them and even talking to people who has wronged him made him so much better in my eyes, I fear I do not forget, nor do I forgive. When he loves, he loves hard, and I am so glad we got to see his story. His character development is one I truly enjoyed as well.

So grateful to read Simone's work and can NOT waittttt for the rest of the Lights Out series <33333

"HAPPY RELEASE DAY QUINN AND WARREN <33333 Thank you, Ki for the arc of Good Graces in exchange for my honest review!

As a Ki fan, I unfortunately cannot believe I am saying Fault Line has gotten beat. (If Kaia and Holden see this please ignore)

If you've been here a while, you would know one of my top tropes is second chances, I am a sucker for pain apparently. Top in that beautiful angst and yearning, I will be foaming at the mouth.

I love Ki's work because there's always a trope that isn't too popular. This one being grumpy x grumpy fit beautifully. Both Quinn and Warren have a hard time letting others in, they had a chance before, and it fell through. Now with life constantly throwing them in each other's path, is this a sign to reconcile? YES, MA'AM IT IS.

It took me a few days to read cause y'all my mental health is shitty atm, and reading a book about SECOND CHANCES? Girlie, I didn't stand a chance, truly took my emotional wrecked heart, and said here, we're going to bruise it a little more, hope you don't mind. There were so many little things that made this book so beautifully poetic. The way Warren did things for Quinn without mentioning simply to make her life a bit easier and be by her side. The way Quinn knew when to wrap Warren up and be there for him and when to take a step back to not overwhelm him. There were so many lines that had me gasping, like damn stop sucker punching me.

ALSO, I loveedddddddd that Quinn began boxing as a way to relieve stress, as a fellow eldest daughter I really need to do that, especially with how Ki wrote it in such an empowering way. I love Quinny, my girl needed to feel arms surrounding her when she needed a fall back and ugh, I want to be her friend. PLUS, if you love a man who so easily displays his love and affection, may I introduce you to Warren Mercer? A yearner, a lover, a swimmer <3

Will 100% be rereading them because I already miss them, okay? Okay. Thank you, Ki, adore you and your writing but especially Good Graces, can't wait to meet you at Beachside this weekend <3
