Halfway through… and already obsessed. 📚🤎

I’m currently reading the ARC of Count on Me by Leigh Carron, and at 50%, I already know this is going to be one of my favorite reads.

Rayne is such a great character, and Dakarai… I get the hype now. 😮‍💨 He might have secured a spot on my book boyfriend list!

If you’re planning to pick this up when it releases on July 21, make sure you’ve read Take a Shot on Me first!

Is this on your TBR?

Reading 'Count on Me' has been an unforgettable experience so far. The intricate character development stands out, with Rayne’s journey feeling authentic and relatable. The dynamics between Rayne and Dakarai have a genuine spark, which makes the romance feel fresh and engaging. One thing that particularly caught my attention is the unique setting where Rayne’s political ambitions play a key role—especially with the intriguing backdrop of "Rayne Webber for Mayor". This adds an extra layer of depth to the plot that goes beyond romance, making it a compelling read for those who enjoy multi-dimensional stories. For anyone planning to dive into this book, I highly recommend reading its prequel, 'Take a Shot on Me'. It sets up essential background details that enrich the main story, enhancing character motivations and relationships. If you love romance stories with strong, well-drawn characters and plotlines that mix personal aspirations with heartfelt connections, "Count on Me" should definitely be on your TBR list. The ARC experience has made it clear why this book is generating buzz in the romance community and why Dakarai might just become a favorite book boyfriend. Engaging with this ARC has also reminded me how powerful well-crafted romance novels can be in delivering emotional resonance while keeping you hooked to the storyline. It’s a great pick for summer reading or anyone looking to support upcoming authors in the romance genre.

Mid Way Through Book Review 📚🩷

So here are my honest thoughts on the book so far: 📚The biggest win for the author is that she easly transitions well between timelines. Throughout the book she jumps timelines often giving us background information on each character she does this seamlessly! I’m also a squirrel and get confused
