I have to say, I was so thrilled when I received this book mail, because as a 50-year-old woman, I can’t express how nice it is to have something to pick up, relax with, and laugh at on the days my life is on a hormonal rollercoaster. ⁣

𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐒 and 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐁𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐒 are the first two books in the 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 series by Natasha Madison, and I absolutely loved both of them.⁣
⁣
One of the things I always consider when rating and reviewing a book is whether I struggle to pick it back up, or if I’m constantly eager to return to it. With these two, I truly couldn’t put them down. I finished both within 24 hours of starting the first one.⁣
⁣
To say I was captivated and immersed would be an understatement. I loved them both and can’t wait to dive into the remaining three books in this small-town romance series as soon as possible.⁣
