I’ve spent the last 2 weeks or so reading thru this series. The final book was released not too long ago and I’ve seen it mentioned here and there, in reader groups and authors newsletters so I decided to give it a go. The whole series is in Kindle Unlimited, and the first 3 books are in are box set, which is great that you can load up the whole series without using up all of your KU slots. These books are all clean but they dance a fine line. No, there’s no closed door sex, but there is a whole lot of chemistry. And there are a couple of first kiss scenes that are pretty darn amazing. There are hints of swearing, but again, clean. I think it’s a great balance to not be prude like, but not offensive to those that don’t like to read anything over PG-13. Like any series, there were some books I enjoyed more than others. There is age gap, enemies to more, boss/employee, which are some of my least favorite tropes, but I loved all of the characters. And they all stay relevant with each book, no one feels forgotten about. The last book felt the longest, but in a complete the series appropriate way. I laughed all along the story, but honestly got sad at the end. I’m not spoiling, but I’m so glad she added the bonus epilogue at the end, it helped. I don’t want you to think it didn’t have a nice happy ending, but I think it stirred up some things for me personally that just made me sad. I also downloaded a little bonus scene, that as of me writing up this post, I haven’t actually read yet, but can’t wait to. I’m kind of holding on to it, because I loved these characters, and I’m not quite ready to let them go. I’ve downloaded another box set fom Emma St. Clair to read because this one was so good. I just hope it lives up to my expectations!
I’ve been working my way thru Claire’s library (in between arc commitments) and Jetty Beach was first on the list. The first 4 books are in a box set, then books 5,6 and 7 are all separate. It’s great that she’s in Kindle Unlimited, so I can really get thru them all rather inexpensively. I feel like the series was only meant to go 4 books and then later she decided to add more. The last three books aren’t quite as connected as the first four. I still enjoyed them all, don’t get me wrong. I just started the Book Boyfriend series yesterday, and so far I just love it. It’s been light and adorable. I don’t know why I haven’t read her books before this year, but I’m just going to chalk it up to there being so many good authors out there and not enough time to read them all.
