I. Ate. This. Book. Up. Could not put it down. City was just IT for me (maybe that’s just the h*rny part of me talking but every word that man said had me squirming & smiling like a dummy.) He’s the tatted up, bad boy, biker type with a good heart. The minute that man was introduced I was like “yup, I found a new book boyfriend.” Meanwhile here is Suzy, a math teacher, who seems to be a goodie two-shoes to everyone, looking for the white picket fence, “American dream” as she called it but to her best friend Sophia and her best friend’s Fiancée Kayden, she was as dirty minded as the rest of us but damn was that girl JUDGY as f**k. She had a checklist, a checklist that every man she’s dated filled BUT the chemistry was absolutely not there & they never once cared to satisfy her in bed. Hmm, some would take that to mean “f**k the checklist” but not her. She was definitely my least favorite character.

The book is not for everyone (not everyone can get past the judgmental side of Suzy Sunshine) but I definitely recommend it to my h*rny little friends out there.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, when she caught her fiance cheating with her friend and she didn't let that stop her. I thought it was great. I even enjoyed when she confronted her (ex)fiance after the meeting but afterwards she just started getting rather annoying.

At some point into the book I couldn't decide which one of the two (Catherine & Jackson) was more annoying. Catherine with the constant stubborness or Jackson with the constant mood swings, as I read farther into it (the very end) I got very irritated with Jackson. I understand that he lost a friend but to sleep with her, force her to say she wants you and then to just up and leave her? I don't think there's any going back from that for me.

I guess we will see when I finish the next book.

I finally read it! I finally f-ing read it! And you know what, y’all were right, the book was so good I finished it in 3 days, 3 DAYS PEOPLE! Idk about you all but that’s fast for me. This book had my emotions all over the place. I thought part one was all unicorns and rainbows, I was smiling, I was giggling, overall I was happy with the contents of the book (from what I was reading) and then Colleen said “surprise mf” and the whole Ryle burns his hand incident happens 🤦🏽‍♀️— jaw dropped and my heart shattered. For those who have read it, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. He was so “perfect” and now I just can’t stand him. And then Atlas 😩 let’s just say I’m 100% #TeamAtlas. Part 2 of the book I kind of just figured Ryle was going to continue being abusive so I couldn’t bring myself to be happy for Lily when she decided to stay. I was very much done with Lily & Ryle and needed Lily & Atlas content 🙃 which is why I’m so excited to start the second book.

I don't know how to process this book, I loved it, I really did but what the hell was that ending? I have so many questions. Where has Aaron been this entire time? Did he fake his death or was he held captive? Was Britney even telling the truth about the affair and the baby? How dare he come back after everything he did? He should've stayed dead honestly. My heart breaks for Liam and I hope that she divorces Aaron's sorry ass.

Holy HOT FICTIONAL men! Yes men, there’s three of them. Asher—the FBI agent, Zane—the detective, and Rio—the lawyer. Rio reminded me of (do I really have to tell you?), Rio from Good Girls with the “mama” pet name *hot*. That is my weakness. But Rio was also the funniest out of all of them so my favorite is definitely him.

This book follows Spencer, she is on the run from her abusive ex fiance. She now owns a pottery business and is trying to live her life in hiding, always looking over her shoulder, keeping herself in shape because she refuses to allow herself to become a victim—again. But it was only a matter of time before her ex caught up to her. This time though she is a stubborn one she was not alone, she had the boys to protect her from everything, including their own peers. I loved how obsessed and protective they were and at times I liked how stubborn she was (not all the time). Sometimes I just wanted to slap her silly, like girl these are hot men all wanting to protect but also DEVOUR you and you’re restraining yourself, be so foreal! I was happy with her decision at the end, because I was going to be mad if homegirl up and left the boys. This was a great read and series start but the book does end on a cliffhanger so be aware of that when you pick it up.

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS BOOK. Fallon is such a badass and I was here for all of it. Kage was such a cutie, in a totally obsessed way but that’s okay. I loved how supportive he was of his woman, how he never gave up on her, and how he’d do absolutely anything for her—including barking. That entire scene might’ve been one of my favorites, top 3 for sure. My not-so-favorite scene? When Kage got hurt, my heart was in my throat because I thought he wouldn’t make it out alive. The only thing that I didn't quite like was that epilogue, I’m still confused about it.

This was a quick, cute read but at the same time I wish the FMC didn’t annoy me as much as she did…

This is my first read by Emma Reese and I wish it would’ve gone better than it did? This book follows Callum and Darcy. Callum is now a big rock star with a much needed break from touring. He decides to go back home and accidentally makes his solo debut while trying to start his own musical journey aside from the band. Darcy is Callum’s sister’s best friend, after a misunderstanding on their first date in high school Darcy attempts to keep her distance from Callum but obviously fails. That one misunderstanding has ruined her trust in Callum, as in she does not trust him at all, everything he says she questions. Personally I think if only they would have talked to each other sooner, they would have settled their issues instantly.

I loved Liz (Callum’s sister) and her support for her bestie’s relationship with her brother. Totally hated Callum’s manager, the man had no respect for boundaries and he was just a bully all around. I was so glad that Callum finally stood up for himself! Was it my favorite read? Not entirely but still the book was interesting enough to keep me reading. If you’re into small town romances, rock star romances, second chances and best friend’s brother this might be the book for you.

The fourth both in the Club Euphoria series. I was ready to get to Tyler’s book but it was not one of my favorites but it was still a good one. If there’s one thing I love about the club euphoria boys it’s that they will protect their women at all cost. The spice scenes were spicing but what else did I expect from Valentina? Gia did get on my nerves just a bit but Tyler’s protectiveness made up for it. That twist towards the end was not expected, it literally made my jaw drop but I feel like Jenna may have forgotten how she felt about them and forgiven them a little too quickly (?) but that’s just me. Now why did they not let my boy Tyler grief without trash talking Mila? Like I get it, no one wants to see their brother or friend suffer but damn let him breathe, let him keep that loving memory of his wife without telling him that homegirl didn’t love him lol. This was an entertaining read and I recommend the entire series.

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 mother’s death. What she doesn’t expect is there to be three men who have been waiting five years for her return and now they won’t 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 there’s 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 Valentina’s grandmother even more. There’s 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. I’m excited to see what happens in book two and can’t wait to get into it. If you love lots of “my wife”, possessive jealous men, and touch her and die vibes then you’ll surely enjoy this one.

I could not get enough of Maya & Sloan, I need more. This book is a fast-paced novel and I ate every bit of it up. And I love when he falls first! Maya and Sloan are both in Vegas but what’s supposed to be a one night stand turns into a marriage that neither of them planned but both of them agreed that it would be beneficial to stay married, especially when this is Maya’s third UNPLANNED Vegas wedding. Honestly there is nothing to dislike about Sloan and can I just say that the one “bodyguard” scene was definitely right up my alley. Something about a man protecting his woman just hits the spot. I am very excited for the rest of this series, Christina found herself another permanent reader.

Oh lord, I don’t know what I was expecting when I got into this book. Xavier is one sick individual but his father, uff. And to think I was on his side when I read the prequel, I thought for sure he no longer wanted his wife because of her attitude but turns out that man was worse than I thought. Kaye got on my nerves when she was defending her mother, acting like her mother wasn’t to blame for a wrecked home, like she didn’t know that the man was married. I’m glad to see the growth in Xavier though, he realized his father wasn’t as good as he thought he was and owned up to his issues and mistakes when it came to Kaye’s mother and his hatred towards her. This book does have the surprise pregnancy trope (surprise to the FMC not so much to the MMC) but it is more towards the end of the book. If you want a book that will have you questioning your morals and saying “wtf did I just read?” a couple times throughout the book, then this is it.

Carrie should’ve known the kind of man he was when she met him. He is a divorce attorney and is cheating on his wife with the story that “everything is shit at home” after that he wouldn’t have even been an option. If Jackson doesn’t make him regret his entire existence, I’m going to be very upset.

Sabine really played tf out of all of us, or was it just me & Dagmara? And poor Claude, I really thought he was out to get Madga/Dagmara and he really had no clue wth was going on.

I really felt for him in that moment, the heartbreak he must’ve felt when Dagmara told him the truth 😭😭😭. My poor baby, but I truly hope that he forgives both the girls and I hope he stays with Dagmara just so Magdalena can stay with Ravi.

The questions I had while reading this were somewhat answered but now I have more questions… who is communicating with Magda (I might know who but I need this confirmed)? How are they communicating with her? What exactly is all of Madga’s abilities? What was that conversation Claude had with Annette about if he wasn’t the one that ordered the assassination of Magda’s family? Hope, Amanda, I need answers!

WTF is that ending?! Respectfully! I’m absolutely in love with this book, with every single scene that involved Sly & Vinnie.

I will say that Sly is obviously my favorite character and my favorite thing about him, he is a pleasure dom and I LOVE HIM FOR IT. It goes without saying that my least favorite characters are Joseph (Vinnie’s brother and tormentor) and August, Joseph’s friend and a total creep. They could both get hit by a 🚌 and I would dance and spit on their 🪦 after I was done. They deserve the worst ending possible in my opinion. Now that ending… wtf. was. that? I was ready for their happily ever after and all I got was a cliffhanger. I need to know who spilled their secret although I have someone in mind, and I am so ready to find out if my suspicions are correct so with that being said I needed the second book like yesterday.

“Not my circus. Not my monkey.”

Quick confession, I say this way too many times a day.

This isn’t my first Corinne Michaels book but it is the first of the series. The book follows Charlotte and Rowan, Charlotte hates Rowan because he is the ex that broke her sister’s heart and ran her off to New York. They are also neighbors with competing farms and they both want the same project and Charlotte not only wants it, she needs it to save her family’s farm. Rowan is a hell of a man, and I can’t fault her for falling for the man after he’s come to her rescue. One night in a cabin was all that was needed for them to push that hatred aside. I loved Rowan, he was perfect in my eyes. I absolutely hated Aurora, nothing would ever change my mind about that woman. The lies and the accusations were insane. I did think that at one point Charlotte was doing too much, I was like “woman let the man help you save your farm damn it!” The book was well written, I enjoy my fair share of Corinne books. Overall it was a fun read for me and I would definitely recommend it.

What. A. Read! Absolutely loved this one, although I caught on pretty quick. If you love a good plot twist then this is for you.

Luna is a public defense attorney hellbent on cracking her father's case and setting an innocent man free. Hunter is a prosecutor hellbent on protecting her after she witnesses her client's death and is accused of having something against her client's cousin. There's action, murder, betrayals and best of all spice. I 100% recommend this read but this book ends on a cliffhanger so why not get the second book while you're at it?

This book is Enemies to lovers, do you need another reason to read it?

This is the first time I read anything written by Jagger Cole and I'm so excited to pick up another one. It was a great read despite the heavy topics. The spice was everything and their transition to lovers was the best. The plot twist though, that took me for a spin (no I won't spoil, you'll just have to find out) but it was truly the icing on the cake.

Well that was disappointing… this book has the cheating trope, I would’ve loved to have that in the warning. This book is Carrie (Malcom’s wife) & Jackson (Malcolm's abandoned son). I read through the book trying to ignore what Carrie & Jackson were doing (by text) because Malcolm is a POS and was cheating on his wife but then Carrie went and decided to visit him at work in chapter 25. Why did it have to be the cheating trope???? This is not the chaos I was expecting 💀 if you don’t mind the cheating trope then I think you would enjoy this book.

Light dubious consent, primal play, public sex, references to and scenes of spousal abuse (not heavily detailed).

I’m a little upset that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I wanted to. I’m a fan of the stepfather x stepdaughter trope but maybe not when she’s freshly 18? Christine was a little much for me though, she was a little too naive in my opinion which ticked me off a lot. “My uncle would never hurt me” she says AFTER he smacked her across the face for not wanting to get married to a literal WOMAN BEATER! Like miss girl, please be serious. I don’t think I have hated a fictional family as much as I hated Christine’s family and no one can convince me that Sienna was not the person Giovani hired to follow Christine & Niccolo. This book was a little too much annoyance and not a lot of enjoyment. I seriously hope the third book makes up for this one…

This was a cute read, only thing is that Ace was way too whiny for me at first 😂😂 those 🌶️ scenes though so make up for it. I absolutely loved Payton, the way she wasn’t afraid to ask for what she wanted, her confidence! She was definitely my favorite character. Also loved the boy group, Lux with his cooking for the boys was so cute to me. 100% recommend.
