Darla was such a sad excuse for a mother. It was disgusting that she risked her children’s lives to the point where her oldest had to take her sisters, but the minute she took them, she was blackmailing her. I was waiting for Eloise to put that woman in her place. Nate was a POS; I saw right through him and all his favors. He gave weirdo vibes immediately. Beau was just so cute in how overprotective he became with Eloise, and I just love an MMC with a piercing on his *COCK*! The racing aspect of the book made this so entertaining, but I have questions starting with… How did Nate get a video of Eloise & Beau? Hmm, like I said, he was a bit of a weirdo. The epilogue was great, I think the ending was perfect for Beau & Eloise’s story. If you’re a fan of rivals to lovers and forced proximity, I recommend you pick this one up.

I think this one just bumped The Bratva’s Beast off the favorites list... First of all, I LOVE Nicole, she’s such a badass always ready to fuck shit up with her bombs. She’s so feisty and I’m so here for it. I loved their relationship and the spice—hot holy hell. There’s a lot that goes on in this book but it’s so entertaining that I just couldn’t put it down.

Boy was this a hot one. This is a quick, entertaining read full of smut. If the series is as smutty as this novella I’m going to have to read it, it’s a MUST at this point. This book is multi-pov (which I LOVE) so you get to see different couples and with those couples come their kinks.

“Run all you want, Lifeline! The longer you avoid me the harder 🤫 I’ll you”

I would’ve yelled “Don’t threaten me with a good time” and kept on running.

This is my first book by this author, and I enjoyed it however I did feel like it was a little rushed towards the end. Poor Millie just couldn’t catch a break, she loses her fiancé and her best friend on the same day, she moves to a new place away from her cheating ex-fiancé and her homewrecking best friend and once she gets to Ranger Ridge she starts getting stalked and to make matters worse, the police won’t do anything about it because “It might be a secret admirer”... insane but okay. I enjoyed the mystery this had. For a debut novel, it is pretty good.

A HUGE thank you to Daniele for reaching out and sending me a copy of this short story. I loved it! I loved the whole idea of reincarnation. Max is a ten-year-old boy who sadly passes away too young—leaving both his parents behind with the promise of meeting up in heaven. Max is reincarnated on a different planet and wants to find a way back home to his planet and family.

I loved that Elizabeth (Max’s mom) never gave up hope. I found a bit of myself in her as I too look up at the sky to speak to a loved one. I did not expect the ending. It was such a sad twist when Max came back home to find that his father was no longer on earth. I wonder what became of Max and his mom, I wonder if the family ever got back together.

This is a great and fast read for when you’re in between reads. I will say that I found Stella to be a bit juvenile at times but it is what it is. I think she did entirely too much when she found out about the painting Jasper had bought when they were kids, yeah it was messed up to keep it to himself all those years but girl, it was when you were kids, get over it. I sure wouldn’t mess up what they had going on for a drawing that was made in school lol. There’s something about a man who takes care of his woman (even though she wasn’t his woman yet) that gets me going, like yes sir, show her you care! Love him. If you’re looking for a fast, fun, and spicy holiday read, I suggest picking this novella up when it releases.

First time reader of Emily Shacklette and I’m hoping to find a better book from her in the future. Though this was a cute read it wasn’t a favorite which sucks for me. The spice was spicing though, and Dottie was doing the damn thing and y’all… HE WHIMPERS!!!! That gets a bonus point. This book does go between the past and the present so keep that in mind. Chapters based on the past were labeled with the age of whose POV it was and the chapters that went back to the present weren’t labeled. I did like the ending and I loved the two epilogues that were included!

I’ve only ever read one other Minka Kent book and that book didn’t disappoint, this one didn’t either. This book is told from Wren and Nicolette’s POV, both unknown to each other until later on in the book. From the very beginning I disliked Nicolette’s husband, and it was easy for me to suspect him of A LOT of things, some that he had nothing to do with. NOTHING… and I do mean NOTHING could’ve prepared me for the revelations or that ending. I felt so bad for Nicolette once we found out what her medical emergency had been and even worse for suspecting her husband of so much, he wasn’t guilty of. I was very glad that they got their happy ending. I for one love when I have to keep second guessing my predictions and I did that a lot throughout this story. It was short but it was so good, I simply couldn’t put it down.

What the hell is happening in this book?! Kali is legally still married to Dark but after he came home with a new girl and a baby, Kali refuses to stay married to him. She wants a divorce, and he is refusing to give her just that. I cannot stand Dark and no it is not because I want Kali with his father instead (though I do want her with his father instead). I hate him as much as Kali needs to hate him apparently because she still lets him hit. The nerve of that man to not only cheat on his wife, but to move his new girl and child two houses down from her and have her babysit (she loves the little girl but still!) … It's astronomical! He’s insane! Kali is better than me because I would’ve disappeared off the face of the earth. It really irks my soul that he refuses to give her the divorce she’s been asking for, that he keeps calling her “my wife”. I hated that the one hitting it (Kali’s Garden, while they were away for work) was Dark and not his father. The spice was great, and I just pretended it was Sunshine instead. Book 1 was overall entertaining despite the annoyance that is the ex. In the next book I need her in Sunshine’s bed, and not that PG-13 thing they had going on in this book!

Just like Midsummer, I ate this one up. I loved the banter, I loved the spice, and boy was it hot in there. I knew Carter hadn’t sent Lex and Ivy a text telling them that they needed space (at the end of midsummer) and Miri & Carter getting a text from Lex and Ivy just confirmed it. I couldn’t wait for all four of them to be together again but in the meantime, we had Carter and Miri to satisfy our dirty little needs. For people that got married they sure acted like they were only doing it to be with Lex and Ivy, they both had me screaming “JUST ACCEPT THAT Y’ALL LOVE EACH OTHER DAMN IT.”

Ivy was so stubborn, wanting to get their gift taken back but why take it back when it’s what brought all four of them together during midsummer? All she had to do was enjoy her husbands and her wife but no she decided that she wanted to investigate and go into the woods, Miri should’ve listened to her gut and stayed away from the woods. Carter should’ve listened to Lex when he said Poppy was not their responsibility. I for one think the group should’ve left Poppy in the woods to fend for herself. A part of me feels like the King was being portrayed to be the evil one but what if the Queen is the evil one and the King is just trying to stop her? At the same time, I feel like both the King and Queen played all four of them.

When I tell you that I spent five minutes laughing at this line after I figured out the reference (I’m not into Star Wars but my partner is) I’m not joking. Carter going “close enough” had me cackling because boy no she wasn’t lmao.

With the ending we got, I was left with so many questions, was Poppy sent with the group to betray them? What does Carter’s sister have to do with anything? Were Miri’s memories real or just the fairy king messing with her? What if (and this is a big IF) Smythe is Poppy’s father? I’m ready for the third book, I need my answers.

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! Emory did it once again, another favorite couple. I absolutely loved Lincoln and West BUT Kai & Sen hold that number one spot. West was hilarious and so me when it came to insects. Lincoln was just a cutie; he didn’t even try to hide his attraction for very long lol. I loved West’s energy, but we already knew that from the last book. I was happy to see Kai’s dad being included for their dinner and home tour, it’s always great to see him participating with the group despite him not exactly remembering that they’re all grown and off to college. I’m curious about Willow and Rick though, I’m kind of hoping we get a book for them.

Sen finding West after his fight with Willow was hilarious, Sen just couldn’t let the man sing his sorrows away without saying he sounded like a cat in labor LMAO. Poor West just needed some love, and Lincoln just seemed the perfect fit for him. I just loved the whole book, especially the epilogue!

I LOVED THIS! Robbie might just be in my top 5 book boyfriends and he might’ve gotten that spot by just getting my girl Fran some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream—the ice cream and taking care of her when her PCOS flared up. He’s just the cutest (though there were times I got irritated with his behind) and we all love a protective boyfriend. Tadd and his buddies irked my soul, so did Tony apart from them I loved the rest of the side characters. This book is well written and it’s easy to read. If you’re into fake dating and hockey romances this is definitely a great read for you.

HELLO!!!! I. ATE. THIS. BOOK. UP! It gave me Harley Quinn & the Joker vibes, and I was living for it. She’s a student at Michigan State studying Psychology wanting to understand why that tragic night happened. She wants to understand and forgive to move on (while also getting revenge) so she decides to do her thesis on the man that massacred her family on her sixteenth birthday only she’s not ready to discover what caused the Devil of Harper Pointe to murder her father, brother and her uncle. I loved almost every minute of this book except when Ethan was involved. He was a real piece of work, and he couldn’t have been disposed of quick enough for me. I loved being able to put two and two together as the FMC discovered the truth about her father’s company and what they were really doing. The twists and turns in this book had me at the edge of my seat and chapter 30 almost had me throwing my tablet out the window. Eve’s uncle is an AH, and I can’t wait to find out what happens to him in the second book.

This is a great read and I 100% recommend this to my dark romance girlies.

This book reminds me of “My Fault” minus the racing aspect of it but it has the stepbrother, trauma/scar caused by her father and kidnapping at the hands of her father and the MMC’s rival thing going on. This book is very fast-paced taking place in a college. The MMC is the captain of the swim team and he has set his eyes on the new girl Fallon. He quickly becomes obsessed with her and terrorizes her because according to him, he’s the only one that can bully or put a hand on her. I love a stepbrother romance but this book went a bit too fast for me. Despite the book being as fast-paced as it was, it was still an okay read.

This is such a great collection of poems. There were so many that I bookmarked or highlighted but the one that truly hit close to home was the one titled “Reflections of Imperfections” under the Body Acceptance and Self Worth Collection.

“... would I be kinder and point out their worth

that I’m so glad they are alive here on this earth?

If this I can do for a friend, then I plea

why am I kind to them, but not to me?”

This was truly my favorite poem in the entire collection, if you need affirmations you can surely find that in this collection as well. I recommend you give this a read.

I think this is the most unhinged book that I’ve read by SK. My jaw was dropped for most of the book. Asher is an assassin tasked with killing Echo but when he fails to complete his task, the same target that he was meant to take out is now tasked with taking him out. That ending had me shocked, what is it with dead people coming back to life in all books all of a sudden?

I felt so bad for both Echo and Asher, both of them deserved better. Echo not only lost her mother when she was a teenager but she had to witness her SA and murder and her father wasn’t much of a father, not to mention the 🍇 she had to endure for years from her father’s own employee. Asher had endured 🍇 after losing a close friend and I don’t blame either of them for turning out the way they did.

This may not have been one of my favorite reads by SK but I’m sure curious about book two. If you’d like to give this book a read I highly suggest that you check out the content warnings because it’s a whole menu.

SK does it once again. Always shocking me (but in a good way). So much happened that I can’t even put it all into words without spoiling it for the rest. I was so ready to see Micah and Ella/Snow White/Phoenix together again, I definitely needed more scenes with the pair. I was so sad for Micah until SK said “SIKE!” in that one scene and all seemed to be right in the world, though his parents were a real piece of work. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

This was a nice quick read, and I could not get enough of Sadie and Jagger. Once the annoying boyfriend was out of the way it was more enjoyable. There is just something about a biker best friend that is so in love with you that gets me going and bonus points when they’re as protective as Jagger was. If you’re looking for a quick HOT read, I suggest giving this novella a try.

First read by Kate Crew and it will not be the last. Reagan Fletcher is the rich girl, the good girl that always did what daddy asked of her in hopes that he would let her take over his company once he passed. Rook is the unhinged biker with a need for revenge after the tragic death of his parents. Meeting the daughter of the man that ruined his life and took his parents from him was not part of the plan but now that he had, he wasn’t going to let her out of his sight.

This book was entertaining though I found the FMC a bit juvenile at times. For a rich girl that’s supposed to be good she sure seemed to be okay with how unhinged Rook was a little too quickly. The banter was everything and the scene where Rook was submissive to his girl was not at all expected but it was sure ENJOYED. (WALK HIM LIKE A DOG SIS!) The spicy scenes were indeed spicing and the cute scenes were giving. I loved how protective Rook was of Reagan and vice versa. Girly really had no issue pulling a gun on someone for threatening Rook’s life and I was here for it.

If you enjoy your books with banter and a hot MMC that just can’t get enough of his girl (even when he’s using her for revenge) then this is the book for you.

At first I wasn’t really feeling this book but I decided to stick it out. When I say this is a slow burn, take my word for it. As always I seem to have a personal issue with the MCs parents. Both of them were horrible and apparently the mother did not know what boundaries were. Mitch’s disappearance, in my opinion, was a bit extra, the whole separation from Gideon could’ve been solved with one conversation but instead Mitch decided to take off and only tell one of his brothers. The ending felt a bit rushed to me but I was glad to see that Mitch found what he was missing and that he realized that he had more people in his corner than he thought. The side characters were great, I loved Emery’s energy and chaoticness.

First Agnes book and I read this in one sitting. Had me hooked from the very beginning. These characters were so unhinged in my opinion, but I LOVED EVERY MINUTE of this book. It immediately starts with SH so be aware of that if that’s a trigger for you. Isra was insane and I’m still upset about what she did to Sophia.

Aeliana and Malakai…

I was NOT ready for how the relationship came to be. I was a little shocked that the relationship was so abusive–not that it even started out right to begin with. Once they were alone it was like one second, they’re talking and the next they’re beating the crap out of each other (this is putting it mildly). The relationship was a little insane but overall, it was a great read. Agnes is such a great writer, and I can’t wait to read more of her work.

Please read the content warnings before picking up this book.

One party, one girl, 3 masked men. Ghostface (Ghost), Jason & Michael, all will do whatever they have to do to make sure Quinn is safe, this is mainly smut and I have no complaints. I needed this to be longer than 122 pages, I did not want to finish it so quickly but I also didn’t want to stop reading. Absolutely loved it. There’s just something about a man—in this case men—that will do anything & everything to keep you happy but most importantly safe. Yes ghost was my favorite out of the three men so let’s not act like that’s surprising to anyone. If you’re looking for a quick smutty read, this is the book for you.

I was sold when I saw this was a professor x student read. I was all for it. There were moments that I got second hand embarrassment because of the FMC’s behavior and I get it she’s the student she’s bound to be more immature than the professor but like sometimes she was just too much for me. I did feel like this was a little fast for me but it was still a good read. That ending though, I need the second book because who the heck is Vanessa and what is she doing there?

This is the first time reading anything from Ketley Allison and I’m wondering how I never came across this author before. This book had everything from betrayal to spice. When I saw it was a why choose, I certainly did not expect it to be 4 different men, but it definitely did not disappoint, girl was having the time of her life. The best thing was that all men were super protective of her & I love me a protective man or in this case, men. It’s a MUST read (make sure to read the first book beforehand) and the ending was perfect for Clover and her men.
