Officially hooked on Sapphic Romance!!

I have never read a book like this before. But I loved it from beginning to end!! I enjoyed the balance of a quick paced romance mixed in with minimal drama. I think no matter your dating preferences, anyone can relate to Cheyenne and Harlow. And baby those sex scenes were very spicy!! Those were the cherry on top of a very well written story. I cannot wait to finish this series and read more books from this author and authors who write stories like these!!

Let’s take a trip to the Bayou!

Lovely, feel good, low angst story by new to me author Arii A! The way these two MCs communicated with each other…chef’s kiss for sure! Their chemistry was off the charts and the steam was very well written and flowed with the story. I liked getting little snippets of the side characters, especially the ones getting their own books in the same time frame. Lots of support and openness and again that amazing communication. Recommend!

Aaaawww Harley and Cheyenne are so ADORBSSS!!!

I am so glad I was finally able to get some free time in to read this sapphic romance! Harley and Cheyenne are a super cute couple and it was really cool to see a southern perspective (as I really don't know very much about Louisiana myself). But I enjoyed seeing each unique personality shine through each character! I also love that both Harley and Chey went through hell and back with both their past relationships, but never truly closed themselves off to experiencing real love with the right person. That's definitely a wonderfully empowering message for those who have been through really rough, heartbreaking relationships. I loved this read!

Amazing

When I tell you I laughed, cried, and swooned over this book that’s an understatement. This book was 5 stars and I loved both main characters and for me I always dislike at least one, but they both have my heart. I can’t wait to reread again loved it so much. The writing style was great pretty fast paced had me hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. Aricka is a new to me author, and I cannot wait to read more of her books.
