Endless August by Shelby Rae (Netgalley ARC review) - A second chance that is meant to be💙🏖️

 







Rating: 4/5⭐


🤍Thank you

First and foremost i would like to thank Author Shelby Rae and Oliver Press Publishing for giving me the ARC copy of the book truly grateful


✨ A Soft Glimpse

A cozy, heartwarming romance filled with soft pining, second chances, and a love that quietly grows stronger over time—wrapped in laughter, warmth, and a little chaos.


🌸 My Thoughts…

Never have I ever read a book where I loved the kid more than the main characters… until now.

Don’t get me wrong—I truly loved Dalton and Savanah. But Drew? She stole my entire heart.

When I first picked this book up, it immediately felt like something I would enjoy—a cozy romance with a military MMC, a single mom FMC, and the brother’s best friend trope? Yeah… I was already sold.

At the beginning, I didn’t feel too much connection with the story or characters. But as I kept reading, something shifted—and before I knew it, I was completely hooked.


💞 What Made Me Swoon

Dalton Hayes… where do I even start?

This man is the definition of down bad. The way he’s been pining and yearning for Savanah for most of his life?? I mean… sir??? And it only got worse (in the best way possible) as the story went on.

Protective, a little possessive, and completely gone for her—I was seated.

And Savanah? She deserves all the love.

Going through teen pregnancy is not easy, but the way she handled everything—with strength, grace, and resilience—was so admirable. The way she raised Drew, the way she always knew Dalton was it for her, no matter how much time passed… it was beautiful to watch.

But what I loved most?
They both chose each other, over and over again.

The pining wasn’t one-sided. The love never faded. They never felt this way about anyone else.

And that? I absolutely LOVED.


💔 What Stayed With Me

Drew. Just… Drew.

Her sass, her energy, her presence—she added so much life and warmth to the story. She wasn’t just a side character, she was the heart of it in so many ways.


🌙 A Small Wish

I did feel like the friendship dynamics could have been explored a bit more. They were good—but I felt like something was missing there.

I also would have loved to see more of the parents’ side of the story, as it felt a little limited.


🌷 Final Page

This was such a comforting, feel-good read that slowly grew on me and ended up stealing my heart.

With lovable characters, soft pining, humor that genuinely made me laugh, and a romance that felt both warm and intense—it’s definitely a book I’d recommend.

  Rating: 4/5⭐ ⚠️ CAUTION Check the trigger warnings before reading ✨ A Soft Glimpse A dark, obsessive love story filled with chaos, vulnerability, and two broken souls finding comfort in each other in the most unexpected way. 🌸 My Thoughts… This book was probably the beginning of my obsession with Rina Kent ’s work. I know this book is very  controversial—some people absolutely love it while others completely hate it. But me? I’m definitely on the side that loved it. Dark romance has always been one of my favorite subgenres. There’s just something about the intensity, the emotional chaos, and the morally grey characters that keeps me hooked every single time. And honestly… this book gave me exactly that. When I first started reading it, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. And for anyone who has already read this book… you KNOW that opening was insane. I still remember reading it while traveling on a train and literally looking around to make sure nobody...

  Rating: 4.5/5⭐ ⚠️ CAUTION Check the trigger warnings before reading ✨ A Soft Glimpse A chaotic dark grumpy x sunshine romance filled with obsession, tension, possessiveness, and two people who completely throw each other off balance in the best way possible. 🌸 My Thoughts… So who knew starting this series would end up being one of the best decisions of my life? When I first started this series last year, I genuinely had no clue what I was getting myself into. After finishing God of Malice and picking up God of Pain , I remember thinking—okay, I’ve read a LOT of grumpy x sunshine romances before… but what would a dark version of it even look like? Well… Safe to say I absolutely ate this book up. Creighton and Annika as a duo? I honestly don’t even know how to explain them properly but I loved them so much . Their whole dynamic just worked for me. 💞 What Made Me Swoon Creighton is literally the definition of grumpy. Silent, brooding, aloof, constantly observing everyone...

  Rating: 5/5⭐ ✨ A Soft Glimpse A love story built on rivalry, quiet longing, and soft discoveries—where passion meets intellect, and love blooms in the most unexpected places. 🌸 My Heart Says… A romance book with women in STEM? Yes please and thank you. This was exactly the kind of read I didn’t know I needed. I picked it up as a little palate cleanser… but oh my—did I devour it? Absolutely yes. Rivals to lovers with a down bad MMC? I was already sold. Mateo and Charlie, both PhD students and academic rivals, had me hooked from the very beginning. What started as tension slowly unfolded into something so much deeper, and I couldn’t get enough of it. 💞 What Made Me Swoon Charlie’s black cat energy paired with Mateo’s golden retriever personality? PERFECTION. While Charlie was fully convinced they couldn’t stand each other, Mateo… oh, he was gone for her. Completely. Irrevocably. And the universe clearly agreed—because sending them on a research expedition together (with a...
