So twisted, not only in a compelling drama way, but also a romantic one. The kind of twisted that shows how much the characters care for each other because they are willing to go to any lengths for them. And it’s not just the love between Cuba and Dovey, but especially Dovey’s love for Sarah. So much happens in this book, that I had to keep …
After reading the little prequel novella to Cuba and Dovey’s story I was mega hyped for this. But in the end it kinda let me down. It was a bit too much like the first book in this series. Manwhore hero who doesn’t think he deserves to be loved. I did really care for Dovey and her story which was really sweet. And I wanted to love Cuba. I did in …
I was nervous to dive into this because I love Leo and Nora’s story so much- would this series suffer with sequelitis? I should never have doubted- Ilsa has proven herself an expert

How much can one person take until they break?…What an amazing story of strength & courage and all while still being a teenager. The sacrifices one takes to save their family. Then throw in meeting your soul mate & just waiting for them to accept the fact that they can & deserved to be loved again.
I think I may have read the series in the wrong order as I have read about some of the characters in this book in the other series when they are older. To be honest it hasn’t messed up either series for me, just provided many ‘aha’ moments, lol. Really enjoyed this book. Crikey such drama between the characters….I wasn’t sure that the ending …
Briarwood Academy has completely sucked me in!! This second chance romance delivered with an alpha male and a whole lot of chemistry!
Dovey has fought against the life she was given. Never having food to eat or a warm bed to sleep in, forces a kid to grow up fast and find a way to survive. Dancing became her focus and it brought her to Sarah, the …
After reading their novella, I KNEW there was so much more to explore with Dovey and Cuba. I’m so glad that VERY WICKED THINGS did not disappoint! They have been apart for a year already and both have been dealing with some very heavy situations. I loved the story and often my heart physically ached for Dovey. I’m enjoying the series and cannot …
Oh how I love Sebastian I love his sense of humor and his personality from book one. My heart also broke for him as well, but I do love to reading about alpha male and Sebastian definitely met his match with Violet. Chemistry between them was scorching hot I also like the fact that we got to catch up with his brother Leo as well. I’ll be anxiously …
