ARC Review: Crazy for Him by Sofia Tate

Crazy for Him is a short novella from Sofia Tate featuring characters first introduced in her Davison and Allegra series. Though this is a standalone and you do not need to read those books first, I would definitely recommend it. Because this novella is so short and there are a few things that aren't gone into in depth, I think that knowing them ahead of time really helped me to appreciate this story more. 

This novella centers around Allegra's friend Luciana (Lucy) Gibbons and Tomas Novotny. The two are now married and have their two little girls, Mimi and Marika. While they are traveling they decide to re-live their love story together. Their memories explain how they met, fell in love and started their lives together.

Though I did really enjoy seeing more of Tomas and Lucy's story, I will admit that this was a little short for me. I wanted more depth and I was really hoping to dig more into each of their pasts, but especially when it came to Tomas. I felt like that was a bit of a missed opportunity here, and that could have been elaborated on. I also wouldn't have minded seeing more of their life together in the present. I really think that these two could have easily had a full length novel, and I would have loved to have seen more of them. This was very short though and if you are looking for a quick romance that you can finish in around an hour, this is one worth checking out. Sofia Tate is a great writer, and I really recommend this story and the Davison and Allegra series. I can't wait to see what she writes in the future.

ARC Review: Forever with Him by Sofia Tate

Forever with Him is the third book in Davison and Allegra's journey from author Sofia Tate. I have really loved these two since I first read about them, and this was a bittersweet book for me. While I loved getting more of them and seeing how things ended, I wasn't ready to say goodbye to them either. Sofia Tate did a great job though, and I could not have been happier with the ending to their story. If you haven't read this series yet, you will want to start at the beginning with Breathless for Him. 

Things finally appear to be falling into place for both Allegra and Davison. Davison is starting a new business after the fallout from his father's business scandal, he is engaged to Allegra, and Allegra's career is taking off as well. As they prepare for their wedding, they know that they can get through anything as long as they are together. But when everything suddenly changes with one heartbreaking moment, Allegra and Davison will have to fight harder than ever for a life that is no longer the one they envisioned. As Allegra withdraws from everything and everyone, Davison will stop at nothing to show her that she belongs with him always.

This book had its ups and downs when it came to Allegra and Davison, but the one thing that never changed was their love for each other. Their love and connection was so special and strong, it was always what carried them through even the toughest of times. I loved seeing them plan their lives together and finally get the ending they deserved. Then when tragedy struck and everything changed, it was the constant support and unconditional love that pulled them through. These two are one of the greatest couples I have ever read about, and their relationship is unlike any other I have ever seen before. Seeing them here just reinforced everything I have come to know and love about them, and I can honestly say that I will truly miss them. They are definitely one of those couples that I will have to go back and read in order to get my fix from time to time. 

So while I am sad to see their journey come to an end, I am also really happy with where things ended. They might not be living the exact life that they pictured, and yet they ended up exactly where they were supposed to. I love that they were able to lean on each other and that their life was one filled with love and happiness even if it took them somewhere unexpected. Sofia Tate is a great writer, and I was so happy to see that she didn't rely on something predictable for drama or conflict here. This story felt very natural and real, and the conflict was one that was heartbreaking but not impossible to overcome. I also loved getting more of the secondary characters here, and seeing their evolution as well. Some that I had strongly disliked before made huge leaps here, and while I was suspicious at first it really seemed as though they had changed. I loved that Sofia was able to redeem them and change my entire opinion about them. I cannot tell you how excited I am that she is writing a novella for Tomas and Lucy! I loved seeing them in this book, and I am very interested to see more of them as their story unfolds. I highly recommend this series, and I think that fans of romance will fall in love with Davison and Allegra just like I did. This series is not to be missed, and I am looking forward to more from Sofia Tate in the future.

ARC Review: Devoted to Him by Sofia Tate

Devoted to Him is the sequel to Breathless for Him by Sofia Tate. When I first read the blurb for this one I knew I wanted to read it. At the time I had no idea that there was a previous book though, so I went into this one not having read the start of Allegra and Davison's relationship. While I understood this one completely and had no problems following the story, I have to say that I really want to go back and read the first book after finishing this one. I enjoyed this book a lot and I really liked the characters.

Allegra Orsini and Davison Berkeley almost lost each other two months ago, but they are stronger than ever now. When Allegra gets an offer to study under one of the most famous opera singers in the world, she knows that she can't turn the offer down even if it means being away from Davison for a month. But when Davison starts hiding things from her and pulling away, she begins to wonder if they can make it through the distance between them. Davison will do anything to protect Allegra, even if that means keeping secrets from the only woman he loves. When Allegra starts to realize that there might be more going on than she thought, she will do anything to show Davison that he can trust her. Can Davison and Allegra find a way to get through the obstacles in their way, or will the secrets tear them apart?

I really liked Davision and Allegra. These two were exactly what the name of the novel implied, one hundred percent devoted to one another. It was so refreshing to see a couple so dedicated and unrelenting in their love and feelings for one another. Despite everything going on, these two never wavereda bit and I absolutely loved that. Allegra was strong and talented, and I really liked that she was so determined to have everything she wanted. Davison was willing to give her anything she wanted, and yet she was determined to have him and her dream career. Davison was an amazing hero. He was so in love with Allegra and would do anything for her. While he insisted on looking out for her and protecting her constantly, he was also her biggest fan and supporter. I loved seeing the encouragement between these two and could really feel the connection that they shared. These two were beyond just connected emotionally though, and they were downright hot together. The chemistry between these two was off the charts and they generated a ton of steam!

Overall, I thought that this was a great story. I loved the characters and their relationship. I thought that the writing was great, and I really lost myself in the story. I didn't want to put this one down at all. I honestly can't wait to go back and read the start of their relationship to see how they got to where they were in Devoted to Him. Besides just loving Allegra and Davison though, I really liked the secondary characters, and found them to be just as interesting. If I have any criticisms at all it would be that while I love seeing the sexy and steamy side of a couple, I did feel as though that was a lot of this book. It seemed like these two were always being physical, and it did get a bit repetitive at times. But honestly the story was really good, and I didn't mind all that much. I look forward to reading more from Sofia Tate in the future, and can't wait to read Breathless for Him.
