I thought Iโd enjoy this one, it had vampires, fire mages, shifters, demons, etc. Unfortunately I found myself struggling to finish this book (I finished it just not as fast as I thought I would). I canโt quite put my finger on why I struggled so much and I was considering a re-read at a later date but eating out your mate while sheโs on her period is a HUGE NO for me and put a stop to my reread thoughts expeditiously lol. If yโall donโt mind that little part then this could be a great fit for you, just not for me.

They thought they were alone on the islandโฆ They were so freaking wrong.
Natalie is taken on a romantic getaway by her boyfriend of a yearโHudson. She believed she would get a proposal on this getaway and she ended up getting something totally different. Lies get exposed and to top it all off, someone has run out with Natalieโs life savings and she has no cell service to try and get to the bottom of it.
First time reader of Leah Cupps and Iโm excited to say that it wonโt be the last! WHAT. A. READ! That plot twist definitely got me, this book was written so well. If you know me, then you know I absolutely love a good book that gets you thinking. While I was busy looking for things that would justify my blaming Hudson for everything that happened with Tess (his college best friend) I didnโt think there could be another person to blame, I was so hellbent on it being Hudson. The ending couldโve been better, death was an easy way out for the one who was truly to blame for Tessโ disappearance and Natalieโs money issues and the epilogue was not what I expected but at least I got some answers I needed. Overall this was a great read.

This book is the first book of interconnected standalones and I need book two PRONTO.
This book follows Seneca & Malachiโs story and their upbringings couldnโt have been more different. You have Seneca, the sweetest boy that has been made to believe that being who he is, is wrongโฆ The boy has been lied to and has gone through so much at the hands of those who were supposed to protect him the most. And then thereโs Malachi, a boy with the biggest heart and loving and supportive parents, parents that have been preparing him for the inevitable with his fatherโs disease.
This book was so amazing, one of the few books to bring me to tears in the middle of the night. There was nothing that I couldnโt love about this story, except for maybe (not maybe, definitely) Senโs parents & the sad excuse of a therapist his father was forcing him to go to. The anger I felt towards the toxic people in Senโs life should be studied, if I could punch someone through a book I absolutely would. They deserve the worst and I was praying for an accident to happen with his parents just so he didnโt have to deal with their hatred, ambushes and manipulations anymore.

When I tell you Kai had me kicking my freaking feet when he found out about the hell his man was put through in the conversion camp, I am not joking. I was living for it! I LOVED how patient and understanding Kai was of Sen's situation. Kai was very publicly gay and I know it was hard for him to suppress his feelings for Sen when they were in public. I loved that he didnโt push him into it and was willing to wait until Sen was ready.

I was waiting for him to stand up to his family, how dare they try to ambush him on his christmas vacation. The man is better than me because I wouldโve slept at the bus stop the minute they tried to control who I spoke to. Matter of fact I wouldnโt have even shown up knowing the way they felt about his sexuality and their conditions.

The friendships that were formed were so wholesome. West might be my favorite, he wasnโt afraid to โsquare upโ, the man tried solving everything with fists and it was hilarious. The way he didnโt hesitate to take punches for Sen did me in (happy tears of course). Sen truly found a family away from his parents and that made me extremely happy.

This story did hit a little close to home. I was not ready for the tears the scenes between Kai and his father caused. I really felt for Kaiโunderstanding how hard it is to have such a close relative with Alzheimerโs and to have them not remember you is the worst. I appreciated that he had people in his corner that would help him through it.

From the bits that I remember from the book I could not stand Nina; she was way too annoying. Are you a child or are you an adult that is able to drink and know your limit? My bet is on being a child. I really tried to give the book a chance, but it just wasnโt for me.

This read was faster than I thought it would beโฆ I felt like I couldnโt get past the abuse scenes fast enough. At one point I thought her attacker was her ex fiancee, and the way he just up and canceled the engagement simply because she was beaten and graped. I wanted to choke the life out of him. I did enjoy most of the scenes with Jaxon, and enjoyed his protectiveness towards Melody but he didnโt protect her enough for me.

Iโm going to start by saying the people I hatedโฆ Dane, I hated his guts. He was so ugh and who says โsheโs in my acting class, what do you want me to say?โ to their girlfriend, someone they spoke about marriage to? Disgusting behavior but moving on. Ava & Deaconโฆ They were both disgusting trying to force Jamesโ hand. You would think someoneโs father (Deacon) would want the best and all the happiness in the world for their child but nooooo, he only cares about fame and publicity.
Now, James & Kat, I absolutely loved them together. I loved how Kat stood up for herself when it came to the contract James was required to sign, she deserved better and I am glad that she realized that unlike when she was with her ex, she seemed so insecure with him and it was amazing to see how different she was from the beginning of the book to the end of the book.
I truly appreciated the panic attack scene and how James was able to help her through it. It was written beautifully and so realistically as well (although that could just be the case for me as my partner is my anchor when I suffer from panic attacks). This in general was such a cute read, I was unable to put it down once I picked it up (until I got sick and had no choice but to put it down) and I wish I could read it again for the first time.

First time reader of Quinn, it was a fast read for me with a fast moving plot. There were too many emotions for such a fast read if I am being entirely honestโirritation, confusion and anger mostly. Paul Summers was the most annoying, disgusting man in that book. All he did was take, take, take and on top of that tried to control Aprilโs profession. I would have divorced that man when he went behind my back and told people at MY job that I was going part-timeโฆ and they just took his word for it. The cop Manning, annoying as hell and was on a power trip talking about โthis is my townโ last time I checked, his name wasnโt plastered around the town. Trixie annoyed me and it annoyed me even more when they (the bikers) chose to ignore what she did knowing damn well she was the cause of Cinderโs death and the way she tried to get under Aprilโs skin didnโt sit right with me either.

This book follows Sloane, she works in a research facility and she turns out to be missing except when her sister Sage goes to Sloaneโs boss about her lack of communication and she finds out that Sloane sent in an email resigning from her job. There was only one problem, Sloane didnโt send any email and she loved her job. Her sister informs her boyfriend of her sister missing and he along with Max work on finding and rescuing her.
This is book five but I did not feel like I missed anything by skipping the first four, however this book was so good I do want to go back and read those.

I donโt care what Slyโs crime was, I will not tolerate Sly slander. He stood on business, and I was here for it. Vinnie though, she was pissing me off. I get it she didnโt want any harm to come to Sly but girl he is a grown ๐ man and could take care of himself if you warn him but she chose to suffer in silence and give her life for his. Last book I thought for sure that one of her friends had told August and here I am, proven absolutely wrong. Those girls were true friends to Vinnie and it was great to read it.
I got beef with the entire Paladino family, except for maybe Luciano, he was always in Vinnieโs corner unlike her unhinged brother Joseph. I was not satisfied nearly enough with August & Josephโs ending. I needed them to go through a lot more hell than they caused Vinnie because that girl didnโt deserve any of itโฆ with a brother like Joseph, who needs enemies?

I was very entertained by this read, I couldnโt put it down and then a surprise guest appeared 79% and the book almost lost me but I decided to pull through because I was already 79% in. That guest appearance reminded me of another book I read late last year and I felt the same wayโannoyed and irritated. Marchello got on my nerves 100% of the time that man was mentioned, he had no respect for Milo (read the book and then tell me if he respected him or not) let alone Kiara. I actually did enjoy the spice but I wouldโve loved if the book was also told from his POV before it got to the epilogue.

Itโs a hot book thatโs for sure. This has fairies, enemies to lovers, arranged marriage and O r g i e s in the woods. It kind of gave me True Blood vibes in a way, and lord knows I love that show. I definitely needed more scenes with the group, though the scenes we did get were enough to satisfy. It was so easy to love the characters, though there were times I wanted to reach in and smack a certain someone (*cough* lex *cough).

I enjoyed this book, I couldnโt put it down after I picked it up. This book follows Diarmuid and his three brides, Selene, Niamh and Amira. Amira being the least favorite for me, I truly could not stand her, she just seemed like she was doing too much and thought everyone was out to get her when in reality the only one out to get her was her own mother lol. With that being said just because I didnโt like her doesnโt mean her tantrums werenโt entertaining. This focused more on the mafia side which was great but I really needed Diarmuid to make his decision, who did he stay with? I especially love that this book was written in multiple POVs. I loved getting to read from each of their POVs and I cannot wait for the next book.

This was an interesting book for me, each chapter was a different POV with different stories, the common denominator, a woman who works with professionals (cops, social workers, etc) and decides to take matters into her own hands to get rid of everything thatโs wrong with the world, to her those are drug addicts, alcoholics and abusive partners. I always enjoy a good book that gets the brain going, I loved trying to guess who โHerโ was. If you like a thought provoking book then this is the one for you. I canโt wait to get to the second book.
Side note: Marie sure knows how to pick themโฆ. First an abusive husband and then his pedophile โbestie.โ Though the way they judged her as if she were the one molesting her children didnโt sit right with me. Everyone in this book was incredibly judgy, they were throwing stones as if their homes werenโt made of glass as well. Overall it was a good and entertaining read.

Well this book was quite entertainingโฆ Was not a fan of her cheating on her boyfriend with the MMC but I also wasnโt a fan of her boyfriend so I let it go. This is considered a dark romance but likeโฆ whereโs the dark part? Maybe Iโm just way too into really dark romances that this just seems mild to me? Itโs a good book and I recommend it to those who love a good college romance. I however got some words for Shana because how dare you do Sasha like that?

Heโs an undercover Interpol agent, sheโs an executive assistant. Theyโre both warned to stay away from each other though neither of them listen.
I canโt tell which boyfriend is my favorite in this trilogy, theyโre all so good, so protective. Loved this book, the twist about 85% into the book was *mind blowing*. There is a surprise pregnancy and I appreciated that it did not become the FMCโs entire personality after finding out but I hated Tristanโs reaction though it was to be expected considering they had established that Lucia was on the pill. I liked Lucia for the most part but there were parts where I found her annoyingโfor lack of a better word. The book is easy to read, and it has just the right amount of suspense as well as the previous books in the trilogy. This is the third book and can be read as a standalone but if youโd like to read in order start with Stolen Beauty.

This book starts in the past (five years before the present) and follows Valentina as she goes back to her home to find answers about her motherโs death. What she doesnโt expect is there to be three men who have been waiting five years for her return and now they wonโt let her out of their sight again.
This book was an instant catch as soon as I began reading. It is a fast burn and I loved every second of it, and those spicy scenes were hitting just right. How could they not when thereโs three different men to enjoy? Really enjoyed when Valentina stopped taking orders and took control, girl you are the heir to the Baranova Bratva act like it. Now I despise that ending and despise Valentinaโs grandmother even more. Thereโs just something about family members that refuse to accept their place and accept that the MCs are capable of making their own decisions that ticks me off. Iโm excited to see what happens in book two and canโt wait to get into it. If you love lots of โmy wifeโ, possessive jealous men, and touch her and die vibes then youโll surely enjoy this one.

I did not like Tomโs attitude in the beginning whatsoever. The fact that he even thought about being with other women after getting married immediately turned me off lol. Also the name Tom, sir with a name like that you shouldnโt be acting the way you were acting. I was definitely going to DNF it but then decided to keep reading because he hadnโt cheated yet. This book seemed to be more smut than it was plot (not that I minded that one bit) the smut was so good but again I just couldnโt connect with Tom. I did like the way he protected Aurora and the jealousy he displayed whenever a man got too close to her. The writing itself was great, as far as recommending the book, I would recommend it simply because I feel like others wouldnโt have a problem connecting with Tom, itโs just a me thing that caused me to reduce the rating.

I wonโt leave a rating for this book because I have mixed feelings about it, and I might do a reread. Iโve been trying to finish it since Septemberโฆ Anyways.
This book seemed like it had a lot going on, and I just couldnโt get stuck on it sadly. I will say Samantha better count her days, to do that to a woman that was GRAPED by your husband is despicable. Livieโs mom was a POS, disliked her the minute she was mentioned. Marie was such an angel; I wish there wouldโve been more scenes with her. I loved how supportive Nix was of Livie during the trial of her GRAPIST. I loved that he was able to get the video of her assault as soon as they both found out about its existence. The ending was expected. Kind of, because what else could you expect from Jules (Nixonโs brother) and his dealings? Iโll have to reread this but for now, I would not recommend it.
