SCREWED UP by Harloe Rae。 This was a must read for me as I am a big fan of Ms。 Rae。 I did enjoy this book and their story。
Serenechaosnyc,
What a sweet book。 At first, I was sure I wasn't going to like Larsen but she quickly because a great, nuanced character, in my opinion。 And Dane? Well, he started and ended up swoon-worthy。 Even though they were opposites, this author did a fantastic job making them similar in ways that count and obviously, they had some issues in the beginning with the perceived differences but this is overall, a low angst story where you'll go "Awww" many times because of how cute these characters are togethe What a sweet book。 At first, I was sure I wasn't going to like Larsen but she quickly because a great, nuanced character, in my opinion。 And Dane?

Jessica Jarvis,
Larsen is your typical workaholic。 Outside of her job as a therapist at the hospital, she has no real life。 When her best friend encourages her to finally live a little, she sets her sights on the sexy security guard, Dane。 Dane doesn’t do commitments well。 But when Larsen gets involved, everything changes。 Larsen thinks she is getting a playboy with no strings attached when it comes to Dane…。。be prepared to swoon at the ways Dane makes her fall for him!
Villains Do It Better,
3。75 StarsCute。I like the role reversal bit and I'm glad it was low drama。 At the same time though, I did feel like I needed something more。 It was a lot of dates back to back and the same overly sweet dialogue, so it just got a bit repetitive for me。 It needed a bit more angst i think between the MCs to keep me on my toes, because everything seemed to go a little TOO smoothly for me。 But besides that, it was still a cute book and I liked how sweet the hero was ❤Safety: safeNo cheatingNo ow/om d 3。75 StarsCute。I like the role reversal bit and I'm glad it was low drama。 At the same time though, I did feel like I needed something more。 It was a lot of dates back to back and the same overly sweet dialogue, so it just got a bit repetitive for me。 It needed a bit more angst i think between the MCs to keep me on my toes, because everything seemed to go a little TOO smoothly for me。 But besides that, it was still a cute book and I liked how sweet the hero was ❤Safety: safeNo cheatingNo ow/om dramaHero sounded like he was a previous manh*e but it was before the heroine and it's off page, just mentioned by his friendsNo virgins 。。。more

Loved Belle and Beast。 Their journey from anti-commitment to finding true love was fun and sexy。 Great as a stand-alone book but also a wonderful addition to the series!

ARC provided in exchange for honest review 。When Dr。 Larsen Belle is tired of her problems, that they do not take her seriously as a professional doctor, and more with her problematic past that does not let her advance either in the sentimental thing, she decides in a way to alleviate that stress caused。。And it seems that the new sexy and super cocky security guard would be the solution to it。。 Dane Owens has trouble settling down in either relationships or a job, and that has meant that he does ARC provided in exchange for honest review 。When Dr。 Larsen Belle is tired of her problems, that they do not take her seriously as a professional doctor, and more with her problematic past that does not let her advance either in the sentimental thing, she decides in a way to alleviate that stress caused。。And it seems that the new sexy and super cocky security guard would be the solution to it。。 Dane Owens has trouble settling down in either relationships or a job, and that has meant that he doesn't last long as he quickly loses interest。 But when he meets Belle and they clash over her similar tempers and sparks fly between them。 Both Belle and Dane realize that they are what they need from each other。 But the longer they share their feelings, they take a different tack。。 Dane will fully consider things, and if Belle sees him as more than just friends with benefits。 But it will not be the only thing they face as neither is completely open to their past。。I think the only thing I did not like was that he was so focused on them that when the drama happened it seemed unnecessary, since I did not feel that their problems were given importance for more than a few moments。 That it fell completely short with the other, and I did not feel a good balance。。 But you must read it completely and see it for you because when I read it I had the flu and that could influence 😅。 。#ScrewedUp #HarloeRae #TheBaysideHeroes #romance 。。。more

Emily,
Book 205 of 2021I just didn’t love this one。 It had a lot of potential, and I liked the characters, but I never really felt the depth of their relationship beyond the surface level。 It was hard to buy into their love for each other, and it makes me hesitant to read any more of this series。 K。 K。 Allen writes the next one, and I love her books, so I may give it one more try。 Format: ebook (Kindle Unlimited)
Becky Rendon,
Belle and her BeastLarsen let her hair down and she will never regret it。 Sexy, fun, and the exact prescription for living。。。Dane is everything she never knew she needed。 Against parental orders, this Dr。 is getting all 8 inches!!
Clare Fuentes,
I loved this twist of Beauty and The Beast。 Who doesn’t love a fairy tale every once in a while。 Dane is the perfect friend, boyfriend and fiancé, such a gentleman in Beast mode。 Larsen is one lucky girl that followed her instincts and went for it eyes wide open。 In the end they got their HEA…

Kelly,
DNF 12%。 Not sure what this books is。 He's arrogant and the whole action at a hospital seems so odd。 Like it was a joke (I work in health care and workin on the psych ward is not a laughing matter)。 She's serious but needs to explore her inner hussy。 Seems juvenile so I stopped。 Might get better, but the first 4 chapters didn't draw me in。 DNF 12%。 Not sure what this books is。 He's arrogant and the whole action at a hospital seems so odd。 Like it was a joke (I work in health care and workin on the psych ward is not a laughing matter)。 She's serious but needs to explore her inner hussy。 Seems juvenile so I stopped。 Might get better, but the first 4 chapters didn't draw me in。 。。。more

The uptight, overworked psychiatrist paired with the sexy, jokester of a security guard who end up being everything the other needed to balance them out ❤️。 A well written, medium angsty story that will give you all the feels。 LOVED it!
Jamie,
Quite a catchThe chemistry between these two had Sparks flying! I love the way they complimented each other。 Where can I find a gem like Dane?! A protective hard shell with gooey insides。 Yes, please。

When Larsen the ice queen of Bayside Regional decides she needs to let loose, she asks the new security guard for help。 Who knew that this no strings attached fling would morph into one of the swooniest romances ever? Larsen and Dane come with a whole lot of emotional baggage。 While their trauma is different in nature, they have a lot more in common than they first thought。 The chemistry and connection between these two is off the charts! The banter is straight up foreplay, and I loved every minute of it! For someone who doesn’t “do relationships” Dane is one of the most thoughtful and romantic book boyfriends I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting。 He quickly became one of my favorites。 I loved seeing Larsen discover who she really is, she’s sassy and fun and sexy。 The crossover storylines with the other characters is so well done and it truly makes you want to read all the other books in the series。 I could not put this book down, you need Dane and Larsen in your life! Watching these two grow as individuals and as a couple was a treat and I could not recommend this book more。 Harloe, you knocked this one out of the park!ARC graciously given by the author。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more
yesenia (Caligirlheartsbooks),
I don’t think I’ve ever read a book of Harloe’s Ive never liked。 This was no exception it was an amazing read。 It was steamy and intriguing。 Lars and Dane where a perfect opposites match made in heaven。 Lars is an uptight doctor and Dane is a free spirit with no thing tying him down。 Though they may be “opposites” they both share similarities and that is what creates a true connection。 Belle and Beast = Heart Eyes
Devin McCain,
Sexy and fun。 Loved seeing Dane get Belle out of her shell where she could be herself。 Great continuation of the Bayside series。
Nicole,
This was such a great book。 It definitely delivers on the heat。 Larsen and Dane create a no strings deal to help Larsen loosen up a little。 Neither of them saw what was coming once they truly got to know one another。 They have playfulness to them that I loved。 They obviously have a ton of chemistry that burns up the pages。 There is so much more to Dane than I was anticipating。 That guy is more than a good time he has a big heart hidden underneath it all。 His past has left a lot of dents on his h This was such a great book。 It definitely delivers on the heat。 Larsen and Dane create a no strings deal to help Larsen loosen up a little。 Neither of them saw what was coming once they truly got to know one another。 They have playfulness to them that I loved。 They obviously have a ton of chemistry that burns up the pages。 There is so much more to Dane than I was anticipating。 That guy is more than a good time he has a big heart hidden underneath it all。 His past has left a lot of dents on his heart。 I felt for Larsen。 She could use Dane in her corner。 Her parents are less than desirable。 They need a big dose of karma that's for sure! Though this book delivers on heat it also packs the heart and feels。 Dane and his friends are awesome and they keep me coming back for more。 I really can't wait for the next book in the series! 。。。more

Dane is a hot shot cocky security guard at the hospital and Larsen is a guarded psychiatrist。 These two don’t look like they would be together but when Larsen let’s her guard down sparks fly。 What I really loved about this book is that the HEA wasn’t rushed through。 They get together a little over half way through。 Most books drag out them getting together j til the every end then rush through what life is like after。 We get to see Dane and Lars in their everyday, along with some bumps in the ro Dane is a hot shot cocky security guard at the hospital and Larsen is a guarded psychiatrist。 These two don’t look like they would be together but when Larsen let’s her guard down sparks fly。 What I really loved about this book is that the HEA wasn’t rushed through。 They get together a little over half way through。 Most books drag out them getting together j til the every end then rush through what life is like after。 We get to see Dane and Lars in their everyday, along with some bumps in the road, but I loved getting more of the good than the bad。 I also love that Lars is a strong bad a&@ woman。 She doesn’t need a man but once she finds Dane she’s even more of a firecracker。 。。。more

4 starsGreat addition to these interconnected stories。 I'm enjoying the characters and the setting。 There were a few parts that seemed out of character with the story but for the most part, it was a solid book。 4 starsGreat addition to these interconnected stories。 I'm enjoying the characters and the setting。 There were a few parts that seemed out of character with the story but for the most part, it was a solid book。 。。。more

Screwed Up by Harloe RaeBayside Heroes⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Dane isn’t a relationship man, but when he gets a job as a security guard at Bayside Hospital that all changes。 Especially when Doctor Larsen Belle propositions him for a friends with benefits situation。I loved this book! I can say the chemistry and spice coming from these characters is 🔥。 It’s an opposites attract, fling to forever book。
Karie Gibson,
Belle & her BeastI loved this book! Belle was the uptight doctor that never relaxed。 The moment Dane laid eyes on her he knew he had to have her。 What started out as a way of relaxing became so much more。

When you finally find that person who makes you feel loved, don't ever let them go。。。Dane and Larson captivated my heart from the start。 They are super sexy, hot and yet have all the feels。 The humor in this story had me LOL'ing constantly。 Watching them come together after their journey was EPIC。 Their story was my first from Harloe Rae, but definitely not my last。 When you finally find that person who makes you feel loved, don't ever let them go。。。Dane and Larson captivated my heart from the start。 They are super sexy, hot and yet have all the feels。 The humor in this story had me LOL'ing constantly。 Watching them come together after their journey was EPIC。 Their story was my first from Harloe Rae, but definitely not my last。 。。。more
