1. Book 1 Let Love In 8/6 (2*)
2. Book 2 Let Love Stay 8/13 (2*)
3. Book 3 Let Love Heal 8/17 (2*)
4. Book 3.5 Let Love Shine 8/29 (1*)
5. Book 4 Let Love Be 8/23 (2*)
*Wasn't NA to me but in the NA category. Probably because the whole series is NA.
6. Book 5 Let Love Live 8/28 (1*)
Let Love In (Love, #1) by Melissa Collins Let Love Stay (Love, #2) by Melissa Collins Let Love Heal (Love, #3) by Melissa Collins Let Love Shine (Love, #3.5) by Melissa Collins Let Love Be (Love, #4) by Melissa Collins Let Love Live (Love, #5) by Melissa Collins

I rarely give low ratings on books but I did not connect with this series. This series has high ratings, so I think this was a more It's not you, it's me. I didn't like the writing style, poor editing (not on grammer but details), and unnecessary added drama. It took me too long to finish this because I was bored. Sad.

Sashoy (sashwilson) | 55 comments Harmony series by Angela Graham

#1 Inevitable (Harmony, #1) by Angela Graham Inevitable ****Aug27
#2 Irreplaceable (Harmony, #2) by Angela Graham Irreplaceable ****Aug 27
#3 Indestructible (Harmony, #3) by Angela Graham Indestructible *****Aug 28

I great enjoyed the series. It was filled with a strong female, an alpha male and his adorable son. Drama and lust-filled, the character development was prominent and had natural progression.

Something Great series by M. Clarke

#1 Something Great (Something Great, #1) by M. Clarke Something Great *** Aug 29
#2 Something Wonderful (Something Great, #2) by M. Clarke Something Wonderful ***Aug 29
#3 Something Forever (Something Great, #3) by M. Clarke Something Forever****Aug 30

I enjoyed this series, everything flowed nicely so they were a pretty quick read. Wish altogether they were one book and had a bit more something.
