There is a revelation from Steve which has the possibility to destroy their relationship before it even gets started. Instead, I was very impressed with Tanner's reaction and subsequent research/knowledge, whatever you want to call it.
I adored this book - every single word. This is a hug-in-a-book, with some incredibly sensual scenes too. And just in case, the story itself isn't enough, the dedication brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. And there are not many dedications that I can say that about!
Highly recommended!!

I loved how it was Mom B, the Beta, who spoke to Kevin and gave him the reassurance he needed. It wasn't just swept under the carpet in a "love conquers all" way. No, he was told that loving a Harrington was tough, but it was worth it!
This novella has it all - friendship, romance, it has some hot scenes without being gratuitous, and it has definitely left me wanting more. Absolutely adored this book and I'm looking forward to returning to Harrington Hills as soon as I can. Highly recommended.

Hush, Hush (book 1)
By Becca Fitzpatrick
⭐️⭐️
For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along.
With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.
This is a reread for me as it was so long ago when I first read it. It was ok but not as good as I thought it was the first time round.

Although Jai and Demetrius are the main characters and do have a lot of page time, they are surrounded by a multitude of couples, who, I'm guessing, have all had their stories told in other books. If you haven't read them (as I haven't), then you might get all the couples and names mixed up (as I did!) It did take some of the onus away from Jai and Demetrius, which I thought was a shame, as I would have liked to see their relationship with each other develop, and also Jai's relationship with Demetrius' children.
I did enjoy this story, but I felt as though it was just lacking something, and I'm not sure what. This was a sweet second-chance romance with a hint of Daddy/puppy play.
