Ranking, Main Characters & Love Interests

 * -|Top Tier=

Random Notes:

 * The Heist: Monaco, Distant Shores and Nightbound deserved better.
 * Bloodbound and Queen B would've been Top Tier books had they not been genderlocked.
 * I feel bad for ranking The Haunting of Braidwood Manor this low because it does have a very engaging story. It's really short though, making it hard to do a fair comparison between it and the rest of the longer, more developed series.
 * Half of the issues of The Royal Romance could've been avoided if they had implemented polyamory.
 * I lost all interest in Wishful Thinking after MC lost her powers, but unlike those, it never returned.
 * The Junior > The Sophomore > The Senior > The Freshman.
 * Witness might be the worst book in here by far, but Distant Shores is definitely the most disappointing. So many questions were left unanswered, so many plotlines were left hanging, and everything was wrapped-up with such an underwhelming finale. That bonus scene at the museum was cute though, and would've worked a lot better as the actual ending instead of that Robert fiasco.
 * On that note, Oliver had the potential to be a top-tier LI but they did him so wrong. He is introduced way too late into the story, is immediately smitten with the MC for no reason, disappears again, has close to no romantic interactions whatsoever and had by far the weakest 30-diamond scene of the three LIs. Romancing Oliver felt like romancing no one in this book, honestly.
 * I have to admit I truly enjoyed Passport to Romance, or at least its first couple of chapters. The quality did start declining with every chapter, before plummeting on the airport one and never recovering. I still would've liked to see a sequel, though. Oh well...
 * Red Carpet Diaries and America's Most Eligible were really good series that got completely ruined by their third books.
 * Books at the very bottom like Witness and Baby Bump are objectively bad, no doubt about that. Poor writing at its finest. However there is something worse than a bad book - a boring one. With books like Sunkissed and Rising Tides - which I must say had far better writing - it was nearly impossible to finish reading a chapter without dying of boredom.
 * Endless Summer deserves nothing but praise from me. The cast, the story, the art, the reveals, the gameplay mechanics, everything, was simply divine. All in all, these books provided such an original experience and without a doubt, I can say it’s one of the best book series I’ve ever read. Truly, and quite unfortunately to be honest, the peak of Choices. It’s a shame it has just gone downhill from there.
 * With every additional chapter of My Two First Loves, I could just see the book dropping lower and lower in the ranking. It was an okay story at first but boy did they drag it out.
 * I like to pretend Noah was the MC and that he and Mason are 100% canon. This was honestly the only way I could read through this story because otherwise... let's just say that the best chapters were the ones that barely featured the actual MC.
 * The Unexpected Heiress might be the only genderlocked book I am actually eager to replay. It's quite evident they're putting a ton more effort into their VIP books than with the regular ones.
