Review: The Thorns Remain

The Thorns Remain The Thorns Remain by Jennifer Hartmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

✨A TOP READ OF 2021✨

New to me authors!  And I was not prepared!  This book took my heart and ripped it out of my chest.  Then it stomped on it.  And then when I thought that it was already beat to a pulp...... the book stomped on it some more!  Evan is a Hero that will have you questioning your morals.  But he is the epitome of the "I'm a lover not a fighter" type hero that tries to be a fighter only to fall hard back into that lover role! The slow burn of this book is almost infuriating at times!  But damn when they finally get to it..... so worth the wait!  Josie is the type of heroine that you just want to yell at because you totally think that she is settling for WAY less than she deserves!  

This cast of characters are all morally flawed (some more than others).  And I promise you that there will be times when you want to bitch slap everyone in the book (except the kids of coarse!) Some of the things that happen in this book are the kind of things that make you wish that Messenger had a font size option because the SHOUTY CAPS just are not enough to effectively get your feelings across to the fellow book whore that had you read it!  I cried.  I raged.  I got so angry that I was shaking.  I swooned!  I ached (in more ways than one 😏)  But by then end..... I think you will be left feeling like everything came to the conclusion that it should have.  

In short.... this book broke me so many times I questioned if it was even going to be able to put me back together..... and then it did so in a spectacular fashion!  This is absolutely a book that I will want to read again..... and since it is all told from Evan's POV I am really hoping that it comes to audio!  If you are ready to go on a emotional roller coaster.... buckle up and take the ride!  You will not be sorry at all!

  Timeless by Kaylene Winter          4.75 🌟  4 ðŸ”Ĩ Absolutely LOVE this series!! And I am not sure if I am ready for the Encore books yet..... but I will get into them soon! This is a childhood friends to lovers story that spans decades. Both Fiona and Zane have a lot of family issues to sort through on their own and they have always been a huge support for each other.... the one thing that was always solid. Until her mom took her away claiming that Zane was going to be just like his father. These 2 go through so much to be together that I was feeling gutted through out the entire book! And I was constantly getting mad at the different obstacles that kept blocking them from their happily ever after! And when they are together..... they are HOT ðŸ”ĨðŸ”ĨðŸ”Ĩ. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was ..... DAMMIT! When can we find out if Carter and Lianne get back together FOR GOOD?!?!?

                                                                               Stealing Heats by Lex Martin     4.25🌟 4ðŸ”Ĩ      This book was JUST what I needed!  It was hot, fast-paced, a bit of suspense, and a woman-you-love-to-hate!  Brother's best friend, but with the added angst that the brother died Rhett wants to save his family's ranch and the only way he can get a loan is to be married.  Paige needs to rehab an injury, but has no insurance to do it.  So win/win.  And then they go and let feelings get involved.  But with the way that Paige seamlessly fits right into his family with all his brothers, there was no way that feelings wouldn't come about.... not to mention the history and Paige's ch...

  Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy          5🌟 2ðŸ”Ĩ Definitely worth the wait! This was a SUPER SLOW BURN book! So if you are looking for spice, it isn't here!  But if you are looking for a heart felt, gut wrenching tale of love lost, then found again.... you are in the right place!  Mason was such a hot AF super alpha and was ready to take charge right away.  He knew he wanted it all and he wanted it with Payton!  Chase was sticking his meddling nose in where it didn't belong (AGAIN) and I was ready to figure out how to jump into the book just to punch him in the face!  But then look at him trying to redeem himself!  We shall see!  This story must have been a tough one for Meagan to tell.... they guilt and pain that Payton feels through out the whole book, over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that she really has contact with.  But most of all the guilt about Deaton (the decease father of her son), Little D(eaton) and Mason. I...
