Jul 16, 2020
I have made a mission for myself to read all of this author's books and this is one of about three I haven't got around to reading yet.
This one tells the story of three women who all fell for a guy called Angus. The description put me off a little until I started reading and realised they were triplets who all fell for the boy next door when they were 17. Each sister gets their own chapters and we learn how different they are and how they fell for the charming, down-to-earth Angus.
It's hard to get across my thoughts on this one without giving the entire story away.
I enjoyed the sisters' journey in this. How they finally figured out what they wanted in life and found love. How they overcame their own issues with stuff that had happened in the past and were just so happy now.
Phoebe was the sister that everyone loved, she could do no wrong, so I wasn't worried about her journey. I figured out Eliza's story from early on so it was Rose who really caught my attention. She'd always been the sensible sister, the one who put everyone else first so I was intrigued by what would happen with her. I wasn't disappointed.
I really liked that ending with everyone in Australia. It was nice seeing everyone back together.

Jan 11, 2021
*I received a copy of this books via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
This is my first contemporary romance by the author where the characters weren't NA age.
I did enjoy this story. It took me a while to get into it at the start but by the end I think I loved pretty much all the Wellington family. It's a retelling of Cinderella in parts; evil sisters, glass slippers... but much more modern with manwhore brothers and some swearing
liked the characters. The twins grew on me so much throughout this book. They seemed so annoying at the beginning but by the end... *sigh* If their stories are going to be the next books in this series, then sign me up please because I am so intrigued after the auction.
Brock was a bit of a mystery when he was at the house, I couldn't really figure him out until he'd sorted out his demons and then I really started to like him.
Jane, I felt sorry for at the start. She was trying to uphold her fathers wishes and being treated like dirt in the process. She grew a lot in the book.
The ending was great. Everyone but the twins ended up happy, though I'm sure the twins' issues will be resolved in their own stories.

Accacia’s curse ( sisters of Hex book 1)
By Bea Paige
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Born with a rare blood disorder that means she cannot go out in daylight, Accacia has learned to live in the dark, even if it has been incredibly lonely. Determined to find a cure that will finally allow her to walk in the sun, Accacia has spent her days and nights holed up in her laboratory doing just that.
After a freak encounter with a tall, dark, and ridiculously handsome stranger, Accacia might just have found her cure, but not in the way she expected. Drawn into a parallel world of paranormal creatures and a Queen who wants her dead, Accacia has to put her trust in three vampires who, seemingly, want to devour her in more ways than one.
It wasn’t bad! I enjoyed the whole idea of the characters and story. If I had one point that nagged at me was the constant need for Accacia to sleep with Rhain yes I get the whole saving him etc but felt it a bit pushy! I did love Devin though! I think now they are in the other world things will get interesting I’m looking forward to meeting these other clans!

I loved how Cohen was a candy floss vendor at Juliet's sisters wedding. That just screams fun to me so I was enjoying this from early on. And then there's the slightly drunken sex after said wedding ends and I was drawn into this.
Cohen's boyish charms really won me over, as did his constant hoping for more with Juliet. Juliet, on the other hand, could deny her attraction and want for something more with him until she was blue in the face but it was pretty obvious after a while so about half way through when they gave in and became a couple I was really happy for them.
Of course nothing ever goes as planned and their relationship goes through a few rough patches but the baby brought them together for a lot of it. It was really cute. I seem to have a soft spot for babies and toddlers in my romances. They just add a touch of...tenderness to the characters. I melt a little when a big tough guy goes all gentle and sweet with a cute little kid--or even his pregnant girlfriend.
I really liked this, it was pretty high on cuteness in my opinion. I'm intrigued about who's going to star in the rest of this series so I will be keeping my eye out for other books in the series.
