”You were never terrible. You were the reason I got out of bed in the morning.”
The story was vividly brought to life; I could picture the house, the shed, and every detail of the scenes they shared. It felt like watching a movie, but better—a story brimming with depth and life.
The characters were amazing and vividly portrayed. Basie, in particular, felt incredibly real—his impulsiveness and emotional depth made his actions feel entirely authentic. I loved both Kit and Basie~~~
The ending is exactly the kind I adore. It lingers in my mind, making me wonder on an ordinary Wednesday, ‘What are Kit & Basie doing right now?’
”What do you do if you’ve forgotten all you know?” “You start again from the beginning.”
Oh, this was beautiful. I laughed a lot, I cried a lot. The sto”What do you do if you’ve forgotten all you know?” “You start again from the beginning.”
Oh, this was beautiful. I laughed a lot, I cried a lot. The story was refreshingly unique and adventurous that kept me hooked from start to finish. Despite being in a very long slump, I couldn’t put this book down. This was such a fantastical journey that I never knew I needed. I picked this up on a whim, mind blank, heavily craving for something different, and it delivered beyond expectations.
“I love humanity. I love their grace. Their faults. Their idiosyncratic ways. They loved, they hated, they destroyed, and yet there has never been anything like them in all the world.”
If I’m being honest here, I can’t write a proper review since I haven’t done it in a while :’’) so here some reasons for future me on why I should consider coming back to this masterpiece;
”and in front of everyone, for all the world to see, he threw his arms around me.”
AHAH! This series really grown on me and tbh I’ve expected i4.5 ⭐️
”and in front of everyone, for all the world to see, he threw his arms around me.”
AHAH! This series really grown on me and tbh I’ve expected it :P I wasn’t too worried after my lack of interest for book #1 ;)
The closeted trope really hurts. I get why, but ouch. This book focuses on their struggles and insecurities as a couple now. That’s what I love most about established couples. Charlie is a really complicated person, hard to love and full of doubts. Honestly, I get him. In some ways, Charlie is me, and it’s hard to admit that. I love him.
I adore how Travis never gave up on him. He always tries so hard and it’s lucky to have someone like him. At some point, I felt unfair for what was going on with Travis, making him doubt himself, but I understand both of them equally. I loove books that like this, that are able to make me deeply empathize with both MCs. And when Charlie finally pull his shit together, I was so happy and so excited rooting for them!
I definitely liked this one better than the first. The established couple trope make it all better since it’s my favourite trope and NRW can write this exact trope so well. Overall, this had a perfect pace and I love seeing their relationship develops more without focus entirely on sex. Just what I wanted, and so lovely ...more
I don’t celebrate Christmas, but if I were to pick up a book every Christmas this would be it from now. It was the best decision made to rerReread #1
I don’t celebrate Christmas, but if I were to pick up a book every Christmas this would be it from now. It was the best decision made to reread this masterpiece today.
“It doesn’t matter how busy it gets, I will always find time for you.” Santa raised his glass. “To continuing friendship, and a delightful tradition.”
This book stirred so many emotions in me; the tears just kept flowing. I yearned for a love as profound as theirs and wished for a life like Anthony and Santa's, one that could exist in another lifetime.
I forgot how comforting this book made me feel. Reading it now makes me feel happy that I noticed a lot parts of them growing together. Perks of having a short term memory hahaha. If it’s not obvious, I am still in love with this book, it made me tear up, blush, swoon and laugh just like the first time reading. I enjoyed it very much and cannot wait to read it again! ...more
THIS is what I’m talking about when they prioritize sex as much as their emotional connection. I LOOVE THIS AUTHOR ALREADY!
This book had the best BDSTHIS is what I’m talking about when they prioritize sex as much as their emotional connection. I LOOVE THIS AUTHOR ALREADY!
This book had the best BDSM scene ever. I have never read one that actually use their safewords (Why shy away from vulnerability, right?) But this one had exactly THAT I FUCKING LOVE IT.
It was all tough love with them from the beginning til the end, but oh Lord, the true deep connection they shared was everything ...more
It’s scary how a book could describe your entire life. And it’s much more perfect when it’s fiction.
I cried and cried so much reading this. Every othIt’s scary how a book could describe your entire life. And it’s much more perfect when it’s fiction.
I cried and cried so much reading this. Every other word is just another reality check. The hopeless dreams, extreme loneliness, reality detached, I could just feel it with Penn. Even though this was so short, I could still see myself in him. But Benny’s monologues were the hardest to read. Every word he wished upon Penn was torture. I cried everytime reading his POV.
Don’t get me wrong, literally NOTHING is sad about this. It’s cute and sweet. It’s a me-thing that this book is so sad. I wish this was a full length novel, but I’ll take whatever it is ❤️
“At one point, I was certain I would fade away. If Penn had been happy, I would have been okay with it. I did my job, I served my purpose, and he found his way. But he wasn't happy. Not then and not now. So I clung on.”
“With everything in me, I refused to let go. He continued to draw me which gave me hope. Maybe he had stopped talking to me, but he still cared, still saw me.”
“Do you know that I’m not confined here? I go with you whenever I feel you calling me. And sometimes, you call when in the heat of passion. Your thoughts are so loud, they pull me and I am helpless to follow.”
“You’re just in my head.”
“I may not be attached to this plane of existence at all times, but the closer I am, the more I can interact with it.”
"If I could wish for just one thing, I would wish you were real. So I could have you and be with you for always."
Oh, boy. This review is really personal. Some people might find it too short, sweet, cute or whatever. But I love it in a totally different way I just couldn’t describe. If you once had or still have an imaginary friend or lover, please read this. I hope you cry so much like I did....more
I enjoyed this one so much even though can’t really compare to the previous two but damn, the excitement! I love ittt The4.5 ⭐️
I want love like this.
I enjoyed this one so much even though can’t really compare to the previous two but damn, the excitement! I love ittt The storyline had similar mystery and romance elements as previous ones. I still love the mature communications and their love story now. Sex is still as hawt. I loveee the consistency this series has for me. Hehe can’t wait to see what happens next ;) but sad to say goodbye.
This book was full of positivity, and vulnerability. I adore that so much. Tending to old wounds, and falling in lovThis made me giggle, made me cry.
This book was full of positivity, and vulnerability. I adore that so much. Tending to old wounds, and falling in love. What a perfect little world. This had so many mature communications from Park and Cooper to Cooper and Dean. Then Cooper and his Dad. It made me tear up, I love it so so much.
I enjoyed the pacing and writing just as much as the previous one and I can’t wait for the next.
I really, really love the romantic scenes in this one. After the truth unfolds, they had this one, really romantic scene. It was pretty sexual too. The author made it seem so emotional and actually showed clearly the bond between them. In other books, sex after that would make me flip but this was written so perfectly. I could see they shared something so meaningful, I love it.
This is the first book in this series that made me cry..
This was mild-intense, I would say. I cried towards the end, couldn’t help it. It was s4.5 ⭐️
This is the first book in this series that made me cry..
This was mild-intense, I would say. I cried towards the end, couldn’t help it. It was sad and emotional. I love these two guys! Their emotional connection runs so deeply. Even from only the beginning, they just get each other. Then, the push and pull made it all better. I love their story. how they pushed through all the tough times and how they took their time with each other. Knowing both of them were so hard to open up with each other, it was all perfect. The tension and the growth of their connection were there, I adore them so much. And the sexual tension too! ...more

Jake, love him. such hero, such savior. made me realize I should have memorized all kind of histories I learned in school Sebby, love him, pity him so so sad for him. I just wanna hold him so bad :(
I LOOOVE ALL THE MOMENTS THEY SHARED. Getting comfy with each other, sharing trust, safety and comfort. All of the things they did together, coal stuffs, teas and beans, “christmas” socks and underwears, agagagagaa EVERYTHING! The most memorable scene would be the description of Seb by the window fck that hurts so bad and how Jake remembered everything.
THIS IS THE CUTEST AND SADDEST EVER IN THE SERIES AND NOW I CANT CHOOSE WHICH IS BETTER.

This book makes a lot of sense after you’ve read the previous one, but if you’re in it just for the couple, I guess it’s fine to read as a standalone.This book makes a lot of sense after you’ve read the previous one, but if you’re in it just for the couple, I guess it’s fine to read as a standalone. Highly recommend to read book #2 first to enjoy the full experience ;)

“He’s my alpha. My best friend. My mountain. And the view from his peak is glorious.”
This was just the right amount of fluff I needed even though I wanted to stop reading Amy’s books few days ago LMAO. Full full of sweetness, from the beginning, it’s like the first sip of morning hot coffee just when you’re about to start your day. Ceh, now, I am being poetic. But seriously, this felt so much like it.
I love the differences that they share. Despite coming from different cultures, they manage to find each other and respect each other’s needs and wants. They manage to find each other ...more
