I finished the third book in The Inheritance Games series and wanted to add some reviews. Great series so far! Could do without the love triangle but I mean what teen doesn’t want to imagine what life would be like if some random billionaire left them all their money?!? 😏

HIGHLY RECOMMEND DICING INTO THIS SERIES! ❤️

Review by AshleyDannie:

Ho, ho, ho, wow! I was skeptical when I first started this one. I didn’t know if I was going to enjoy the story but DANG this one got - SPICY. Not just in s€x scenes but in the intensity of these two characters and the flaws they were fighting!!!
Mr. Fix-it and Ms. Fling took me on a Christmas roller coaster I wasn’t expecting but I am glad I went for the ride! This is definitely more detailed than the last two and more…frequent - but the story of their growth is my favorite out of the three I have read so far ☺️

Review by AshleyDannie:
This one took me to a place I always wanted to be: a bookstore owner by the coast where a hot beach-y type guy sweeps me off my feet and takes me on an adventure! Now-a-days I prefer my hunky bearded man 😉 but this adventure was fun to dive into!
Now the spice is starting to accelerate in this Laurie Gilmore Dream Harbor series, it is more the frequency of the spice scenes then the language of them. The language is somewhat detailed but not cheeks red in public - I gotta hide my book, but I still wouldn’t recommend for anybody under 18. Overall, another fantastic read and adventure in Dream Harbor!

AshleyDannie’s Review:

I am not much of a romance reader but this book cover and name grabbed me like a cozy morning with coffee and did’t let me go!
From the grumpy bearded farmer to the sweet cafe owner, I couldn’t put it down! Yes there is spice scenes so I wouldn’t recommend it for under 18 years of age but it still has that sweet, wholesome vibe you get from Gilmore girls or Hallmark! You love either of those this is a must read!!!!

The only words I have is Thank you for being an influential voice in my childhood. I know you shaped many lives through your characters and you definitely were a voice in mine ❤️ Rest in Peace in the Stars ❤️ .
Mufasa: Simba...let me tell you something that my father told me. Look at the stars. The Great Kings of the Past look down on us from those stars.
Simba: Really?
Mufasa: Yes. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you...and so will I.
