so-soMay 8, 2025 So the verdict is: The book was slow in the beginning and did not pick up speed until like 2/3 of the way through when Penolope showed that she was jealous of Lukas even though she was the one who broke up with him first and wanted her best friend, Scarlett, to have sex with him. Towards the end, Pen showed more jealousy towards Lukas and her being together but eventually apologized to Scarlett. Scarlett and Lukas are together!!!
pickWow, that was a LOT. So much happened and our MCs went through so much! I really enjoyed the depth Walsh brought to the characters, and the different types of relationships that were explored. Honestly, Johnny and Gibs‘ friendship is probably my favourite thing about these books, with all its charming, slightly crazed intensity. This was a great duology and I would definitely read more from this author.
pickWowza. This is the spiciest Hazelwood book. Mainly due to the mc‘s discussing their kinks early on; mainly bdsm, thou never happened. Which they first bonded over. Borderline too much. Lukas is incredible, full stop. Vandy grew on me, and I liked her healing journey. Pen was annoying. What I didn‘t like was how early they got it on together. I‘m not a fan of getting together quick. Overall, loved the characters, not the plot as much.
May 4, 2025 Page 288 out of 443. Hmmmm I wonder what can happen in these pages... Stay tuned to find out whether it is a positive or negative ending
May 3, 2025 May the fourth be with you! lol Almost May 4th. Anyway, more than halfway through the book and there have been a lot of sexual scenes between Scarlett and Lukas. I am a fan of romance books but if there is too much, than it can be a bit boring and overwhelming too. You get me? Who else is a fan of romance????
pickWhat a chonker omg. But it didn‘t feel long — I got sucked right in to the angst and the longing and the confused teen silliness. This book is kept from absolute nonsense by a strong current of abuse (not between MCs) and its fallout, the search for family and a place to belong. It‘s a very engaging read, with a busy plot, lots of action, and a good quick pace. FMC Shannon whines maybe a bit too much, but it‘s not that bad. Gone right into book 2!
pickCaught up with the series. Compelling, heartbreaking, hilarious. These poor kids, they have a lot to work through but I can‘t help cheering them on. Next book in the series is our May 27 and someone may have ordered the ebook. I got all the others from the library but I‘m just not waiting :)
so-soTaylor‘s dared to take home the hottest man at a sorority party. She chooses Conor, & he goes w/ her, but their charade doesn‘t stop there. They fake date to prank everyone. What happens when it doesn‘t feel fake anymore?
This one was okay. It was a little funny here & there. Had some romance. The writing was just a little cringy.

Hard to believe we are 1/4 of the way through 2025! 🤯
Unless something really hits me over the head, Binding 13 will be my top pick for the first half of the year. I still think about that story. Still two months to go, so it could happen. We'll see what May has to bring.
