Hey guys, I read a book series consisting of 4 books, all five-star reads to me! That is rarely the case with anyone, but I loved all four books. So from now on I'm starting to do a series of "Sana Recommends". It will just be the five-star books I've read. I'll mostly be making youtube videos of it. But if it's a series, like this one, I'll make a blog post as well.
So let's just talk about the first post in the Sana Recommends series.
Disclaimer: these are new adult books, which start from the age of 18 years old. Read at your own risk. All of the books mentioned are HEA (Happily Ever After).
It's "The Queen's Cove Series" by Stephanie Archer.
The four are the following books in the series, they are linked to GoodReads so that y'all can check them out!
The stories follow 4 brothers and their romance with their lady loves in the small town of Queen's Cove.
The first story follows the eldest, Emmett, and Avery. To summarize, it's an Enemies to lovers, fake dating & engagement, and marriage. But once married they realize they are in love, like every other romance novel out there.
Review of Book 1:
“𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚, 𝙄 𝙬𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡”
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘶𝘺 𝘣𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳
Avery & Emmett, where do I start because they were amazing together! Enemies to lovers made complete sense as to why Avery despised him. The fake dating/engagement/marriage was nailed in the book!
“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙄’𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙣”
Loved the fact that it was dual POV. This book brought me out of my slump as I now go on to read the second book in the series. And from now on Stephanie Archer is on the list of authors I won’t miss books!
“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙚 — 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.”
Avery and Emmett’s banters were hilariously adorable. The chemistry was there. I finished the book in a day, granted I didn’t do anything else productive but this book made it worth not doing anything for the day.
“𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 — 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙥 𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮’𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨”
It had everything I liked; Fake dating/engagement, he falls first, small town, prom night redo, funny banter, loveable side characters, and the spicy stuff!
"𝙎𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨, 𝙄 𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙄 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪." 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮. "𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙖𝙮."
I just wished the book dived further and explained more details on how exactly the mayor's wife found out about their arrangement because it seemed rushed to me but other than that loved the book!
5/5🌟
“𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙩.”
“𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙨.”
Review of Book 2:
“𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙈𝙧. 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙮.”
I LOVED THIS BOOK! Hannah owned a bookstore! That’s the dream!
She makes a deal with Wyatt to teach her how to be a hot girl. It quickly goes to become chaotic as expected. But in a super adorable way!
“𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚.”
The chemistry between the characters is there. The scene where the town finds out they were fooling around is hilarious. Although his nickname for her is a bit cringe-worthy, it’s adorable at the same time.
“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙟𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙨, 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮? 𝙄’𝙢 𝙟𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 **** 𝙮𝙤𝙪.”
Wyatt gets jealous whenever she talks about other guys, he reads Pride & Prejudice after she just happens to mention it once, to understand her better. And a guy who reads a book you mentioned once but isn’t even into you yet? Yes, please!
“𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙞𝙩?” “𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨.”
5/5🌟
Review of Book 3:
“𝙄’𝙙 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩.”

We have a book where the guy is actively searching for love what?! Aaah I already love Holden. HE HAD THE PAINTING, and that might be the cutest thing! Holden was perfect for Sadie. Their chemistry was amazing!
“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙤.”
However the time they spoke in his office where she took a jab at him and he threw her failed engagement back at her, she deserved it. I mean, she did start the fight first, never mind she redeemed herself. The third act break up was stupid yet not.
“𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧, 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚.”
Their story progression was great. I liked how it led up to them getting together and they were cute as hell. Holden coming to the bar to watch Sadie's work was too cute to be ignored.
5/5 🌟
Review of Book 4:
“𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙄’𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙮, 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙝𝙚𝙧. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙭 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙄 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙜𝙤. 𝙇𝙞𝙫 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨.

The fact that we got to see a snippet of them in the previous book made a lot more sense. Although I don’t understand why he stayed away for that long. But loved the fact that he wanted to get her back.
“𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍. 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕. 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖.”
I did not like Olivia’s mom. I understood her reasons and all but the last straw was when she didn’t help Finn with Cora when the same thing had happened to her. Loved Elizabeth though! Especially when she teamed up with Liv to tease Finn at the book club. That scene was priceless!
However, I felt the last 10 chapters were way too long as I just wanted to see their happy ending because they are adorable!! Loved the fact that Finn volunteered to go search the flower with her. The double date with the odd couple was hilarious. Overall a good book!
4.5 / 5 🌟
The only reason I'm reducing half a star from this is that I felt the last 10 chapters dragged on for too long otherwise it's a 5 🌟 book.
