I feel like I have not posted in a while. I am majorly slacking on reviews. Usually they go on Goodreads and Amazon, but I tend to forget to put them on here. Life is crazy. I am starting my last semester of college tomorrow, I am interning, and I have two kids in school full time. Plus trying to stay active and continue to get in shape. So that's life. Not to forget that I am starting to freak out about job searching after graduating. Momma needs a job 🤣
I hope to start updating and blogging again on a more regular basis. But we will see. Chances are no one reads these anyways 😆
Currently I am about to start Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken. This one will release September 12th! I am sure this one is going to be full of laughs and steam. I just finished Wild Card by Karina Halle and my review is up! It is not one to miss! Another great read is Without Merit by Colleen Hoover which is out in October. I loved this one of hers!!! I have also read some good paranormal/supernatural books this summer as well.
Anyways- happy reading!

Review
I really love a good second chance romance and this one delivered!
Out here, in the wild, I want her wild.
Six years ago Shane and Rachel broke up. It was harsh, unexpected, and devastating. Six years of hating the man who broke her heart for unknown reasons. Six years of still loving him despite her broken heart. Rachel has to come home and avoiding Shane is a top priority.
Shane made a decision six years ago that he still isn't over. He broke Rachel's heart and his own. But Rachel is back in town and he still wants her. He wants a chance to explain.
I really loved this book from the beginning. Shane was wild and swoony. He really is the best kind of book boyfriend. Rachel was a great character, too, and I really loved her and Shane. I found myself rooting for them from the beginning.
If you love Karina Halle (you'd be crazy not to) and second chance romances then be sure to pick this one up! I cannot wait for the next installments of this series. I am really excited to see what is in store for the other Nelson men!
"Love isn't a chain... It's not a shackle. Love is what sets you free, love doesn't confine. What I feel for you... it's wild and it's raw and it's as fucking real as that sun above us."
