My #1 favorite romance trope, so of course it's rated high. Insta-lust and insta-love, which I've grown to not mind as much. This had really good conflict and interesting characters, but I want to know more about some of them, like Hugo (and his missing wife?!) and definitely Jude.

What a cute office-filled-with-monsters romance! I'll definitely be continuing this series!

The first half of this book was really fucking difficult to get through. PLEASE CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS ON THIS BOOK BEFORE READING. I literally had to take a break about 40% in to read something lighthearted. It was just very intense. If you are triggered by non-con, for the love of god, do not read this book.

The second half of the book was still very intense, but in a different way. I can't say I fully understand Addie and Zane's love. Maybe because I haven't experienced something so intense like that in my life. I'm glad there was a happy ending for Addie and Zade, with loose threads for other stories to tie into this one, for Sibby and Rio.

Now to go read something easy and fun and not so goddamn dark. Phew.

This was so freaking cute... but also incredibly sexy and smutty as hell. I love a good monster romance! This is the first I've read between two non-humans though! I really enjoyed this. I'm usually not a fan of Christmas stories (and Christmas in general) but this was highly recommended by a few members of a spicy book group on Facebook, so I had to give it a go. Very glad I did cuz it might be one of my favorites for the year.

Wtf did I just read. I was confused through this whole volume.

4.5 stars.
Katee, my queen. You got me again with the enemies to lovers! Definitely a great installment to the Serve series. I'm glad I got to read Will's story after seeing him a bit in Garret and Ridley's story.

OH MAN. This book was fucking DARK. I knew what I was getting into due to hints from booktok and reading the novella. But I wasn't sure I was expecting that much. I'm not usually one to read horror or suspense, but this had just enough to keep me interested. Not to mention that the spice was SPICY!!! Definitely check the trigger warnings on this one, ya'll. And that cliffhanger?! UGH. Starting Hunting Adeline ASAP!!!

This novella was insane. I'm not a huge horror reader, so it took a bit to get into the right headspace. I'm glad I read this before starting Haunting Adeline, though. Sibby is nuts, but in the best way. I can't wait to see Zade's perspective of her when she shows up in HA. The ending literally made me put my kindle down for a minute and just think. Then go back and reread passages. Books almost never make me do that. I didn't expect that ending AT ALL.

I've been looking forward to reading this book since finding Mariel's Instagram. I enjoyed it. I liked the story, but they world building felt a bit clumsy, and I was confused for a good portion of the book. I had to continually reference the index at the beginning of the book for translations which would sometimes take me out of the story. Also that cliffhanger is killing me!

Second-chance romances are usually not my cup of tea, but this is by Katee Robert and I've never hated anything she wrote. I liked the dynamic between Ridley and Garrett, but their issues near the end almost killed it for me.

OOOOH Little sister's best friend trope! One of my faves. Loved the chemistry between Eliza and Oliver, but the keeping secrets/miscommunication annoyed me.

I love me a good sex club series! Owned by Fate is different though because instead of the FMC being interested in the lifestyle, Caroline is a journalist, looking to critique the club and its owner, Jonah. Wonderful writing by Tessa Bailey, I really enjoyed the audiobook!

Ahhh, this was so great. A Dom who wasn't supposed to be there, a sub in trouble. Dom to the rescue! And he falls first?! Yes please!

Holy SHIT this book was good!!! Fae kinky romance? I think you mean, my favorite genre EVER. Caiden is my new book boyfriend.
Also for the audiobook: Aiden Snow can do no wrong. I love every book he narrates.

I cannot wait until the next book comes out.

3.5 stars. One of my all time least favorite romance tropes was the main one in In The Dark: lies and miscommunication.

Since I started this in January and haven't picked it up since I'm deciding to DNF for now. 2 stars because I do plan on picking it back up at some point next year. I'm just tired of it being on my currently reading shelf.

Fair Game was such a fun read! A little bit enemies-to-lovers and set in college. The only downsides were Jade's wishy-washiness and I didn't care much for the narrator's voices in the audiobook, but that's easy enough to look past. 3/5 for spice.

Heir was like 90% sex and 10% plot... But I am not complaining. Katee Robert is a master of the sex scene. Loved the character development in this installment, and it ended on a cliffhanger so I immediately started Queen. 5/5 for spice.

This is the first MFF romance I've read and let me tell ya, I NEED MORE LIKE IT. My bisexual heart belongs to Monroe. She was definitely my fav character. Sassy and sexy, just the way I like my women!

I loved Sacrifice. It was a quick read, which made it more enjoyable. I can't wait to read Heir, because I desperately need some character development and for the bond between Mina and the men to get stronger. 5 stars, 5 spice.

Yet another great menage romance from Katee Robert! I was confused throughout the book about the faction system, but near the middle, I just decided to think of it like rivaling gangs. Lol. Hot spice and exciting plot. I am hesitant to read Broderick because this series is on hold and I don't want book blueballs.

4.5 stars! This is my first monster romance (minus vampire), and it definitely won't be my last. While I thought Briar and Sol fell in love too quickly, who am I to judge? As always, Katee Robert left me wanting more... in a good way!

Student/Teacher is my #1 romance trope so this hit aaaaalll my bases. The added bonus of BDSM and all characters being adults just made it even more chef's kiss.

DNF @ 29%.
I wanted to like this book. It has a great narrator. However, I got 29% into the audiobook before realizing I was forcing myself to get through it, and that's when I know it's time to DNF. TBQH, I wish the author had left out the “Before” chapters, or at least shortened them. I wanted to see more action in the present apocalyptic world, not the beginning where Red, who I grew to loathe, and her family were just starting their journey.
I snuck a peek at a few reviews here on GoodReads and seeing that the ending was rushed, was the final nail in the coffin for me. I'd rather DNF now than be pissed off at a shitty ending, feeling like I'd wasted my time with this book.

God I loved this book. It was short, only 140 pages, and I finished it in 4.5 hours. Literally couldn't put it down. It gave me lady b0ner at least six times. I was never really into the daddy k*nk, but now I might be.
