Review: Dear Heart, I Hate You

 


Title: Dear Heart, I Hate You 

Series: Silver Springs 

Author: Eliah Greenwood 

Release Date: February 2022



It all started with an ad.


"House sitter needed for the summer, free room and board."


Guess I missed the part about the cocky basketball player sleeping down the hall...


Finn Richards is hot, cruel, broken beyond repair. Oh, and did I mention hell-bent on making me quit?


Whatever. It's not like his charms work on me, anyway. I'm immune to his cold, hazel eyes, and I'm not even a little bit curious about what really happened that night.


Who cares that I let him take my first kiss?


Who cares that I'd give him all of my firsts if he just asked?


It's just two months. I can definitely go two months without giving him my heart, too...


Right?



Goodreads | Purchase 




So I finally decided to pick this book up after finishing book 1 back in April 2021. I needed something to keep me from falling into a slump and this sounded just right. 


Dia agrees to house and dog sit for the Richards family over the summer, because she needed the money. What she doesn't expect is for Finn to end up home early because he got kicked out of basketball camp. Finn tries to do everything he can to get her to quit because he hates her. But she is more stubborn than he is, and isn't budging, otherwise she could kiss her chance of getting a car goodbye. But what happens when the lines between them blur? 

So let me just say, enemies to lovers? Sign me up! I loved the drama - and wished the pranks between the characters lasted a bit longer than they did. I loved Finn in all his brokenness. - he may have been a delinquent bad boy to everyone but he was still hurting and grieving from his mother's death. And he wasn't as bad as he may have hoped to come off as. Dia was sweet and innocent - except she was one of the only ones who called Finn out on his crap & didn't take it either. This book was a whirlwind from start to finish & I can't wait to read the next book to find out what happens next for these characters.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.

Review: Bad Little Bride

  Title: Bad Little Bride Series: Girls of Greyson Author: Meagan Brandy Release Date: January 7, 2025 Degradation of the Desperate Daughter. That could be the theme song to my life.  Always second choice. Second best. Second born. Maybe that’s what possessed me to track down my father’s most formidable enemy, the infamous Enzo Fikile. He’s the nation’s most eligible bachelor, and the crime world I was born into’s biggest threat, but not because he wants to tear it down. No. This man wants to claim his place within it and if the whispers working their way around are anything to go by, he’s well on his way. And I just offered him a golden ticket, one he accepted with an unexpected spark in his eye. We signed our marriage contract that night, and the deal with the devil was done. I’m engaged to the man the rest of the world fears and there’s no going back. I expect to be tossed in a tower and left there, but my future husband has other plans. Dangerous ones. He wants the world t...
