    Loved the vibe of the video. Chestnut Springs is easy and ok. Save it for a book slump time, but no rush to pick it up.

    The Deal is totally worth the hype in my opinion!! Something about Elle Kennedy's writing hooks me in so easily. Lots of dialogue, an adorable romance, covers tougher subject matter, and the spice in my opinion is done well!!

    Yes Addicted To You is totally an easy read which was honestly why I liked it so much + the representation of addiction and how the characters are distinctly different and yet similar in so many different wayss

    I read A Worthy Love a while back and had no idea that it was a part of an interconnected series and I really enjoyed it. I honestly wasn’t confused at all but of course reading the other books provides more background. I loved the whole series, the found family aspect was amazing and so comforting.

    I almost pulled a Shawnaci lol and bought the whole Elle Kennedy series with The Deal and managed to hold off. I liked all the hockey/sport romances I have read so far but this series is soooo hyped. I’ll wait until you read it 😂

  • @SuperSweetfrog

    Try the dead guy next door by Lucy score. I'm on book 2 but I don't feel like they have as much spice in it. It's more of a murder mystery than just romance.

  • @callyfrazier6577

    Although the spice continues in the rest of the Chestnut Springs series, I would say to at least give Heartless a shot! It and Reckless were my favorite - the characters and their banter got addictive in those two for me. If Heartless doesn't do it for you, I would say you could write off the rest, but it seems to be a favorite for many and is a quick read to know for sure whether the series if worth continuing or not! 😊

    omg you’re so lucky to have the original chestnut springs covers! since you’re not a huge fan of spice, I really don’t know if it’s gonna be for you, but heartless and powerless are my favorites 💜 but I would say still give them a try!

    Did you know you can listen and read books on UA-cam. I finished The Housemaid and finished it there. Now listening to 2nd book, discovered can turn on captions and read along. Like your choices, I also do not like a lot of spice. Been bedridden since Mother’s Day since burning 🔥 foot. Buying books like crazy and discovering apps. Love Bookerly. HAPPY READING 📚📚📚📚

    So I love AE Valdez I don’t know I just I like how she portrays her black characters. I feel like she does it in a way that I don’t see many black authors do. However, I do understand what people have said about the first book all I wanted and all I’ve needed the writing was a little weird. I just love the story and the characters so much that I was able to overlook it. However, in my opinion writing wise, it really does get so much better a worthy love and colliding with Faith were just so so good. I feel like you really got to get to know the character and their struggles and their lifestyles. However, her books are pretty spicy and I think that’s why I loved the first one because you got like the whole first half of the book with no spice and I love the buildup but other than that like I just I don’t know. I just really like her approach to her characters.

    Quinn Halifax… I can just see her in her powersuit, heels clicking across the boardroom lol s/n have you read anything else from A.E. Valdez? I read Snow King Catches His Snowflake and I found it to be really sweet and cozy. Easy read too.

    Great book review, Shawnaci!!! I think you should continue on with the Addicted series as well as you should start the Chestnut Spring series. You might end up loving it. Anyhoo, great video and book recommendations. I hope that you are having a wonderful morning so far. Take care, sweetie ❤❤❤.

    I read A Worthy Love and not the rest of the series first. And maybe I should’ve but A worthy love w a 5/5 honestly 6/5 star read. And I still don’t see people talking abt it

  • @marycasey5095
    @marycasey5095 2 місяці тому +3

    I read the AGGGTM trilogy as well as the novella this year. I would say you don't need to read any further than the 1st book as the other books were not great, in my opinion.

    I just read flawless this week and feel the same. I don’t mind spice, but like was it adding to the storyline mehhh not really. Also, felt like the relationship was a book toxic. Super easy read, but definitely don’t get the hype. I gave it a 3 star - I liked some of the side characters like both of the main characters dads and appreciated how nice and comfortable the physical book is, but idk if I’ll check out the next book. Maybe, if you do lol

    I only read A Worthy Love out of this series and I didn’t even know it was a series until after I read it. I didn’t bother to read the rest but A Worthy Love was a 5⭐️ read for me. As much if you like Luca Asher is EVERYTHING!!!!

    I didn’t love the Addicted series, just Rose and Connor’s books, but I’m glad you enjoyed this first one!! I also agree with you, it’s not like Binding 13 at all, Johnny is just >>>>>, sorry. I think you should definitely try the off campus series, it’s definitely worth the hype, the 4th book in the series is one of my favourites for life, if you like a male main character that it’s kind of golden retriever and does >everything < for his girl, you’re gonna love it too 🤍

    For the Lucy Score books like you, I feel like she puts way too much language and spice in the book that really isn't needed at all in my opinion that being said, she does write good characters, and the banter is very good. I thought the 3rd book wrapped it up, and finally, we got Sloans and Luciens story that we have been waiting for! Overall, I thought it was a good book minus the excessive spice and language. Happy Reading 📚 😊
