this book gave me the feels. i was drawn by the title of the book and then i was sucked in completely. really liked this and want to find more of her books.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

I really enjoyed this book. I will go back and read the first two of this series. You can read these as standalones. It was well written and great slow burn! I would definitely recommend this book!

A new adult romance . Had some witty banter and some push and pull . Reminded me of some of the harlequin line books. Others in series should be read first as works better thst way

ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest opinion. The character build up of Noah and Niko was pretty lacking with the plot being difficult to follow. It was a hard read for me to enjoy.

I received a complimentary copy of Only Sometimes in exchange for an honest review. I tried extremely hard to get into this book, and even took into consideration that the backstory and author were American. I'm not sure I can even right a review. I finished the book, but really don't know what I read. This was hard pass for me.

This is the first book in this series that I have read and whilst it is a standalone it probably would have been beneficial if I had read the others first, if only for context.

The premise is cute and interesting and I expected that this would be a cute, fluffy read that I'd blow through and enjoy but unfortunately, it just didn't work for me. I disliked Noah from the start and found him entitled and hypocritical and whilst he does get better I just couldn't care for him at all and I didn't feel any chemistry whatsoever between him and Niko. It felt trite and forced in a lot of places and I just also felt that everyone just overreacts to everything all the time and it got tiresome fast.

It is well written and the descriptions are great but the plot and the characters just, unfortunately, weren't for me and I had to push myself to keep going with this one.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

After my first encounter with Felicia in All the Wrong Shelves, I was very happy to see the next part in the Without Filter series.

This story is about Zander’s sister Nikolina, and Noah As we had already seen in All The wrong shelves, Zander’s relationship with his sister is strained. Their mother had driven Zander away because she forced him to lie to Nikolina about’ her illness. Believing that Nikolina would be too weak to handle the truth.

So, Niko line certainly has some trust issues. And therefore, she likes to keep people at a distance. So people see her as cold and heartless. while actually, she is just grieving for her mother Enter Noah, the newest member of the foundation that Niko’s great grand- mother had started to preserve the local coastline and the animals there. Noah is also grieving: for the loss of his grandfather, who was a loyal member of said foundation until he was kicked out by the chairman and replaced by Niko.

To honour his grandfather’s wishes, Noah is now ‘infiltrating’ in the foundation to make sure their priorities are kept straight. Because Noah’s grandfather had some doubts about the chairman’s spendings. And now, Noah is of course also suspicious of Niko. So, from their first encounter, there is an ano mis ity between them. But also an undercurrent of attraction. Both determined to make a different in the world, they team up to create some waves of change. When spending time together, both start to realize that there is so much more than meets the eye.

A slow burn, enemies to lovers story. Wonderful, five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Only Sometimes follow the story of Noah and Niko as they navigate through their own grief after losing loved ones. A shared cause brings them together but they have to learn how to work in solidarity or risk losing what matters most to both of them.

This book has deep rooted and complicated family dynamics which I really enjoyed - the messier the families the more I’m invested. The romance was a slow burn but there was plenty of tension between Noah and Niko to keep the interest alive. And there was a handful of spicy scenes and they did not disappoint! I found myself really connecting with Niko and her issues with perfectionism. Her whole life she has worried about her family’s reputation and as a result, she has been holding herself back from really living.

This book just really felt like a great coming of age story, even though both Noah and Niko are in their twenties I feel like they are just truly starting to understand who they are and what they want in their lives.

Highly recommended!! 🔥 Releasing on 9th December grab a copy now!

Only sometimes is the third instalment in the #nofilter series by Felicia Blaedel. It is a new adult contemporary romance and a standalone novel. Also, an enemy to lover book which is, let's say everyone's favourite genre 😍💕

I have so much to talk about in this gorgeous book. Ever since I was approved by @netgallery for the ARC I was excited to get started with it. It intrigued me from the very first page. The scene following the first meeting of Noah and Niko was so naturally portrayed that it left me wanting more. The ever-gorgeous and confident Niko met with the introvert, shy and handsome Noah, sparks ignite between them as they work together to protect the Nikoline Ottilia Nature Society. Niko by being a part of her great grandmother's legacy and Noah to honour his eccentric grandfather's hard work. As time passes they started admiring and appreciating each other and soon realise their feelings.

Omg!! My heart ❤️ I can't help but fall in love with this book hard. Especially with the characters Niko and Noha 💙 they were so real and raw. I have never read a book like this one and I'm glad now I did and it's amazing. Noah is an introvert who is a thorough observer and an aspiring writer who feels deeply whereas Niko is a badass main lead, confident in her high heels and red lips. I relate to Noah in so many different ways and that is one of the many reasons I adore this book so much. Niko is everything that I am not and aspire to be one day. The way she handles every hurdle coming her way is commendable. She sorts her way herself in life and doesn't depend on anyone. That's what made her special and different from other male leads. She is my favourite MC 😊❤️😍. I like the friendship between Noah and Anker the way they have each other back and how they made food for each other is so cute!

Last but not least Felicia, you gem❤️ you are amazing 💕 the way you described this book is so beautiful and I love your writing style. The heartwarming romance just took my heart away and I will be cherishing this book for years to come. This was my first book from your collection and I am looking forward to more in the future!!
