Great short read, and very entertaining but that’s to be expected from Minka. I loved how all the wives came together to protect one. That is true friendship. That ending was unexpected yet so satisfying. If you haven’t read Minka Kent yet I suggest you do so. Truly a great writer.

I am grateful that this was such a short read because I don’t think I would’ve been able to deal with Rupert for a full-length book. I know Rupert lost his wife but damn that man was annoying as hell. It’s like his whole personality was his wife and now it’s his wife’s death. My goodness, the MC (Michael) deserves a prize for not jumping over tables just to smack Rupert across the face, he was incredibly disrespectful and intrusive drilling Michael about his failed relationship and it seemed like the group used “he just lost his wife” as an excuse even though they followed with “it’s not an excuse but still”.

I was so glad when Kate (Rupert’s sister) stood up for Michael after he spoke to her about leaving the trip early. The bomb that she dropped was crazy but also, how am I not surprised that Rupert was an absolute jerk to his wife?

That ending was… WOW, did not expect that lol. Kate and that ending are the only reason why I added another star.

I stumbled into this book at 4 in the morning after scrolling on kindle and finding Minka Kent’s book in this collection. I figured I’d just read them all in order. I’m not disappointed with this read. I love second-guessing myself in murder mysteries, it makes it fun and if the rest of Nita’s books are like this then I look forward to reading more from this author.

I’ve read some filthy books, but this one takes the cake… Holy shit, Malachi gave no fucks.

I feel like someone should stop Jennifer from fostering more children… paying someone to take your 16yo child’s virginity and whoring her out to keep your son out of jail is diabolical.

Jamieson should’ve been more present and he shouldn’t have gone along with Malachi’s adoption if he was going to treat him like crap.

Malachi got fucking issues. His POV was crazy (especially on audio) he sounds CRAZY as HELL. My jaw was on the floor when they got caught and Malachi could NOT be pulled off that girl, that was shocking yet hilarious because damn that boy was hungry. That one scene of them doing it over their almost-dead father was WILD. That man was so close to death and the MCs could not care less. I’m still shocked and questioning my morals. Oh, and I will never be able to look at a screwdriver the same ever again after reading this. The narrators did an amazing job as well. I like a book that can shock me, and this certainly did the job. This would be a book I recommend to a select few because it’s not for everyone.

Well, I did the one thing I said I wouldn’t do in 2025... I finished a book that I was not enjoying. I didn’t want to discard it so early on so I told myself that the book would get better as it went on… in my honest opinion, it did not.

To begin with I did not expect the FMC to be straight out of High School, I don’t remember seeing that mentioned when I signed up for this ARC. This book had too much going on but I got bored very early on. I also feel like the “posts” at the beginning of every chapter were very unnecessary, but that’s just me. I did not get to read the first book (to my knowledge this could be read as a standalone) and after reading this one I will not be going back to read the first. This was a miss with me.

The book was good, but I thought Vivian was such a pushover. Her family annoyed me especially after her father disowned her and then her sister called telling her that “he’s still our father”. I wish Vivian would’ve told her to shut the hell up and stay out of it. I feel like she took way too long to put her foot down and stand up for herself. Besides her family, more specifically her parents I enjoyed everything else…

I see the hype with Dante Russo. I will never question Booktok again (this is a lie, if I didn't question everything that came out of Booktok I wouldn't be me). Thank god for audiobooks because now I live for Dante’s accent. And the pet name, I think I got a new favorite one! And I know you did not ask BUT that one scene when Dante goes home early because Christian did something to get Vivian and Heath (her ex) in the same room got me excited, like yes sir, go home and protect your woman! I loved the mentions of Christian, Stella, Queen Bridget, and her prince Rhys though they were unexpected for me. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series after I finish the Twisted series of course.

“The only difference between bright white and pitch black is illumination…”

OH. MY. GOD! I need more ASAP (Respectfully)! For a slow burn, I ate this book up and read it in one sitting. I Loved Quinn and her best friend Gia. Safe to say I hated Vivian, and Elaine though I liked her in the beginning, she really disappointed me towards the end, now I don’t feel bad that she didn’t end up with Landon the way she wanted. Elle did such a great job with this book she had me up at 3 am.

Quinn has a very traumatic past and is also drowning in medical debt. After her father’s passing, she needs to find a way to live, even if that means pausing her education to work full-time. Her friend Gia suggests signing up for The Quest if Quinn goes 30 days of being owned (literally) by a Knight, she gets a cash prize at the end, and all she has to do is whatever her knight tells her to do, no ifs, ands, or buts. Sounds simple enough, or is it? That ending… was unexpected, I mean I knew it was a cliffhanger but damn Landon, WTF? I’m so invested; March cannot come fast enough.

I recommend this book 100% especially if you love a good slow burn.

This book picks up right where Book 1 ended. I couldn’t wait until Eve and Emery reunited. I knew her uncle was a POS. Lena was a good friend but she did kind of annoy me a little bit with her hostility towards Emery. If Eve is fine around him then Lena should probably take the hint and shut up, right? Lol. I did enjoy the first book more, this one took me a bit by surprise when Michael and the others came into the mix. Cassidy pissed me off, there’s no other way around it. She got exactly what she deserved. I feel like Emery should’ve hunted Leslie down but that’s just me. Also not how I expected Eve to end up but aye at least she’s with Emery now, right? RIGHT?! Overall the duet was great, very entertaining and it was well written. I 100% recommend this duet if you’re a dark romance lover like myself.

This was a good read, I’m giving it 4 stars because I was having this issue with how Ashlyn and the entire family reacted. Like everyone could do their fair share of recklessness but she gets drunk one time and marries someone who the family knew, that WASN’T exactly a stranger and they chose to react like that was the worst thing in the world. And then the whole Easton calling Lindy up with another woman in his bed thing was a no for me, it was unnecessary. I liked that she stood her ground and didn’t shy away just because they were in public.

Drake the man that you are! I loved this so much, I read it in one sitting. Drake’s patience and his love for January’s child was everything and I quite enjoyed when he put Lief in his place. Lily was too cute and was a smart kid for her age. January was a little stubborn, but I’m glad she got her person after the loss and difficult times she went through. This book has grief, love, and maybe a stubborn sibling or two, but it was so good. I’m excited and can’t wait to see what’s in store for this series.

Ivy girl, you were so stubborn. She had my head spinning. Scott is so sweet, but I feel like he should’ve told her about his job sooner (like his friend suggested) since he knew she wanted nothing to do with the football world. They were on and off due to Ivy’s fear but when they were together, they were too cute. I loved Ivy’s pops, just for him to be snatched from us, R.I.P. Billy. Their relationship was everything, but I wish she would’ve spent time watching games with him since he loved the game so much. This was a cute sports read. I will say this book has 3 breakups so keep that in mind. I’m not a huge fan of third-act breakups, but the story itself was good, so I stuck to it, and I am so glad that I did.

This might be my favorite book in the series, I loved Sage’s boys & yes that includes Damian. Though Damian was a bit unhinged I liked him a lot more in this book, his protectiveness towards Sage and his family never disappoints. The boys fighting alongside their mom was EVERYTHING. I LOVED how they took their father’s place in protecting their mother when Damian could not. It was too cute. Sage did make me a bit mad when she was asked for a kiss by the Lightbringer… Her response made me want to smack her just a bit but I still love that badass woman. The action was again EVERYTHING but that’s to be expected from Astrid. If you haven’t yet read this series, I highly recommend it!

I thought Yesica was annoying most of the time because of how she treated her mother vs how she treated others but I really enjoyed this book. I loved the Spanish phrases incorporated into the story and I loved Yesica’s growth (it took forever in my opinion). My favorite part was when she confronted that horrid mother-in-law of hers and I was glad when she got to say her goodbyes to her father-in-law, who was nothing like his wife. Such a sad way to say goodbye but it was good for her.

This was a random pick from KU and I definitely picked it because it was centered around the lives of three Latina women living under the same roof once again. My first ever book by Annette and I think I might have just become a fan. This book was well-written and it was easy to read. I recommend it 100%

How is it possible that I love so many characters in this book? Zeb obviously being number one on my list. I loved how he cared for Benjamin as if he were his own and when Ada came into the picture, I didn’t think I could love him more. Mahina & Zeb’s relationship is everything. Mahina’s brother was such an A-hole, he definitely gave “I’m jealous of my family vibes” and it was NOT cute. I loved Levi and his loyalty to Zeb which extended to Mahina and Benjamin. I am super excited for his book to come out and I’d love to see him around the family more. Caution: This book contains the topic of child trafficking.

This is my second read by Jenn, and I quite enjoyed it. I love a good enemies-to-lovers, boss-x-employee romance. I can’t get enough of them. The storyline was pretty good, and the spice was great though I thought the FMC was a bit extra sometimes. Her past was a tough pill to swallow; that girl went through it.

Dallas the man that you are! I love how supportive he becomes when he finds out about Blaire’s past trauma and how supportive he continues to be even after her accident and his attitude towards him (rightfully so? I don’t know how I feel about that whole situation with the file on her past and all). I felt so bad for her after that accident with her way of thinking. I appreciate the way Dallas’ family was towards Blaire, even before they found out about what was going on between them, it was so cute. It was a good read in my opinion.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first one. It had so much going on that it eventually lost me. I considered DNFing a couple of times but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. I thought I’d be brought back to the story, but that just wasn’t the case. I did feel bad for Nyxia and everything she went through. They (the people who hurt her, and there were quite a few) really had no mercy for that girl.

For those who would want to read this book, I do recommend that you read the first book, though it says it's not really necessary to do so. And please for the love of all that is good, please read the content warnings and don’t ignore them.

I finally started an OVERHYPED (imo) book, and I didn't like it at all. When I started reading this, I was immediately in and out, I got 35% through it and had to pause it because I didn't want to DNF it and tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, but to me, it was simply boring. I resumed my reading today (Dec. 19th, 2024) and got to 38% before I decided to just DNF it. I'm not going to spend what I have left of 2024 on a book that I think is boring as hell and has childish ass MCs. You can't be boring and also have childish MCs, pick a freaking struggle.

Jena has left me with another cliffhanger, and I just can’t get enough of these books. I love that Ivy and Lex finally admit they’re important to each other, honestly, it’s what I have been waiting for. The spice in this one was so good, my favorite scene being when Lex had Ivy tied up and Carter showed up, my lawd was that 🥵. Honestly my favorite book in the series.

Just like in the last book, I didn’t trust Poppy for crap, and I was 100% on Lex’s side when it came to her. Come to think of it, I didn’t trust anyone that wasn’t the main 4. Ivy’s mother has been the absolute worst, and I don’t think it's fixable… What she did in the previous book and continues to do is unforgivable. The fact that a mother could do such a thing to her own child blows my mind. Miri’s grandmother is right behind Ivy’s mother with how horrible they are. Miri is irritating just a bit, like woman stand up to your grandmother!

I’m so excited for the next book and I’m ready to see our beloved characters kick some fairy king 🍑. I can’t wait to get the answers that I still need like, what the hell really happened to Miri in Monaco?

It was an immediate write-off, I contemplated DNFing but since it was such a short read, I decided to stick to it. My mind about the MMC did not change.

This book is so irritating. I had to DNF before finishing the 11th chapter, I refuse to put myself through 20 more chapters of their crap. The MMC is an idiot for throwing money at the problem aka the child he was not expecting from a one-night stand that disappeared before he even woke up the next morning. The FMC and her best friend are both insufferable considering the FMC is the one who left after their one-night stand without getting any sort of contact and had 9 months to come to terms with her pregnancy, then she comes back and expects the news not to completely shock the MMC, please be so FFR. The FMC’s father is no better, while I understand that he is trying to protect his GROWN ASS child he should know that her behavior is gross. When the MMC tries to do the right thing both the FMC and her best friend give him the hardest time about it. He files for shared custody and asks for visitation in the meantime and the FMC immediately calls her lawyer to have him stall on both the shared custody and visitation, that’s ridiculous. Don’t even get me started on the MMC’s fiancée who is only a fiancée because neither of them wanted feelings involved. She cares more about her career than anything else including the MMC’s feelings towards his son but refuses to break off their already fake engagement, so she just wants him to forget he has a son just to keep her happy. Homegirl can kick rocks. This was honestly a waste of a credit, and I am livid about it.

I enjoyed it, had me hooked from the very first chapter but that MMC gave me the burning desire to beat him to a 🩸 pulp. He was infuriating when he would continuously say “But I’ve apologized” as if the FMC wasn’t entitled to heal on her own time. Not only did she have to put up with his abuse but she had to deal with abuse inflicted by others because they wanted to get back at the HIM.

Portia was a backstabbing snake but what’s to be expected from someone who stands by while other women are being 🍇d daily… (I didn’t expect the betrayal, in fact, it annoyed me when I found out).

Rinaya was power-hungry and a liar and I knew it the minute she spoke to Kiera.

And Grayson… what’s there to like about Grayson? The man couldn’t take a freaking hint even if you drew him a freaking map and he was just so insufferable. His ending wasn’t satisfying enough for me.

This book is for lovers of all things dark. For the love of god, as soon as you open the book you see “Please prioritize yourself and your health” so please read the content warnings before you pick this up, there are some scenes that could be triggering for many people.
