I loved this one! Harper’s exes (fiancé & friend) can kick rocks😒, but thankfully, Ares was right there to make things considerably more interesting. He’s broody, a little guarded, and has that whole sexy older-man thing going on🥵. Watching these two navigate their “relationship”while catching actual feelings was perfection.
Desireé Ketchum and Jason Clarke were fantastic together. They brought Harper and Ares to life, and I loved the emotion, chemistry, and little moments that made this audiobook so enjoyable.🥰
Can’t forget about that bonus scene 👀 I love Clyde’s little catch up’s with Ginny 🥹 they are so sweet & he is a hoot. Can’t wait to see what he’s planning next 😆
Another fun listen that left me wanting more of Infinity Ridge! 💜
Sierra Simone warned us that Baby Bell would be dark, but I found Ry to be exactly the right amount of light to let Birdie shine.
What I loved most was the beautiful parallel between Birdie and Aiden. Their journeys mirrored each other in so many ways, even down to the drowning hills. They were both lost to life in their own way until they were saved by the person they’d least expect. That symmetry gave the story so much emotional weight.
The sunflower imagery was one of my favorite threads throughout the book. Just as sunflowers turn toward the sun, Birdie slowly turned toward Ry’s warmth, attention, and unwavering focus. Watching her grow because someone finally saw her was beautiful.
The light and dark imagery was woven through every page. The contrast between the devout and the profane, salvation and temptation, was mesmerizing. The crucifix scene was all-encompassing. Ry is Birdie’s savior and her devil, and somehow Sierra Simone makes those two truths exist in perfect harmony.
Then there were the lines that completely wrecked me:
“I didn’t mind making myself your worst thing. I never will. I only hoped I could slowly convince you that I could be your best thing too.”
“She is the beginning of everything good, the start, my genesis. My Eden.”
For someone everyone claimed didn’t have a heart, Baby Bell proved the exact opposite. His heart wasn’t missing. It was simply too big. Too fierce. Too willing to carry the weight of loving someone completely.
Dark, symbolic, emotional, and beautifully written, Devil was everything I hoped it would be.
Tate is such a sweetheart with Aurora—his attention to her (sweet & sexy) and the lengths he goes to make her dreams reality is just so cute. Gah! His moments with MiMi? Precious! Not only does The Situation capture the warmth and sweetness of their relationships perfectly but also the nervousness of taking that leap. It’s super engaging and just right for a chill beach read!
