This one just scratched the surface of the itch.
It was good, but mostly just okay!!
Exploring Kenneth’s kink interest was fun, and both he and Houston were immediately lusting for the other, but it feels a little repetitive? Being the third major novel in this series it doesn’t differentiate much from the previous stories.
Enjoyable light hearted and fast pasted romance !
This series is cute and fun. Pleasantly surprised with this and would continue with this authour :)
I liked Chloe’s inner monologue, the social anxiety and talking to herself felt very relatable.
Boyd is a classic play boy charming type, and kind of snuck his way into dating Chloe by calling the “dates” just hanging out or favours
I liked how he kind of molded himself to her comfort, like he knew she needed processing time and he could change the subject or distract her. And knew to give space when necessary. He was instantly sweet on her.
Was Everly nuts? Yes. But this was funny in all the best ways. Would her tactics work IRL? God no but entertaining to read.
I definitely think she met her match partner with Sawyer who was somewhat equally unhinged. Hacking her Pinterest boards and Facebook to find out about her and change the relationship status… but it was funny.
I do think we glossed over and Everly was immediately cool with Jake way too quickly for a normal person… but is she normal?
4.25!
Super good MM daddy x boy motorcycle club romance.
The “daddy” and Dom/sub relationship was a bit more intense compared others and the previous book in this series but it was really good! Tons of good kink and spice scenes
Six and Ollie were complete opposites, but were exactly each others type/desire. They fit perfectly and their dynamic was very safe and healthy
A really good mm omegaverse!
Mildly angsty best friends brother. Skye’s older brother forest was not a fan of Maverick and Skye mating/going through Skye’s heat together. He was kind of mean to his friend forest about it but I get he wanted bigger and better things for his brother.
Ultimately both skye and maverick were crushing on the other, but neither voiced that.
I enjoyed them during the heats, the spice was good, and I liked seeing them build the connection and be sweet
Some plot holes that were left open ended (who blocked mav and skye’s numbers on the others phone; and what happened between forest and red?)
I kind of hope there’s a sequel with one of the alpha brothers!
These characters were infact messy. I’m glad the authors note at the beginning of the book mentioned it, because I wasn’t taken by surprise by this.
Both were messy and toxic, guarded but sweet.
They made “wrong” decisions, and purposefully tried to make the other one jealous.
It was a nice change instead of the normal happy flowers and sunshine romances.
Once they got together for their HEA, they were both so cute and romantic and just happy.
This was easy and funny to read, but the MCS were childish and nearly toxic lol
Sophie, college student/barista, constantly ran away from any confrontation (literally)
Luke, older doctor, somehow always was keeping something a secret from Sophie
And when Sophie would ask a question Luke didn’t want to answer or kept it vague; she would run. He would chase, they would fuck, and be okay again. Rinse repeat.
While I think both were lusting and charmed with the other, the secrets and non-communication was frustrating
The dirty talk was excellent, and it was a good amount of spice
This was sooo charming. I wished we had more of the mpreg, and experienced the omegas during the pregnancy but honestly the rest of the book was so fun and exciting I hardly noticed.
It was sweet and sexy, I loved the little kiddos and how they were so protective of their fathers.
Going from a couple to an MMMMM household with their growing family was fun to see, each parent having their space to be.
Kinda cringe and OTT 😬
I couldn’t get past that they called the girls who hung around the clubhouse to ”service” the guys who didn’t have old ladies sweetbutts. Too cringe and awkward?
Natalie coming to the clubhouse for protection, and then basically healing from her year long abuse and trauma in weeks lol all while making these changes to better support and protect the “sweetbutts”. Weird and OTT
All of the stars for Lucky, but he could have done better than Zach.
I’m not entirely sure why he was so infatuated with him, it seemed random his confession of love at 18.
Despite the attempts at sympathy with zach’s PTSD, past trauma/abuse, I think he was unnecessarily cruel to lucky and I’m surprised lucky forgave him so simply.
Lucky is such a sweetheart and deserves the world. I am happy he got his HEA but in no way does zach deserve him.
Liked this!! Lots of DP and stretching 🥵
Mpreg MMM omega romance
I wished the established couple, Frederick and Adrien had more spicy times together. It seemed they just had sex with Gigi, and not each other. Which doesn’t make sense since they’ve been together 8 years
BUT it was a fun and spicy read full of mpreg omega goodness
This was fun and surprisingly suspenseful at a certain point!
At first it was cutesy and tense, but I did not see the suspenseful twist coming.
I loved Oz I thought he was so cute, and just authentically himself.
Jake I have soooo curious about since the first book, and why he was so weird and secretive (finally we find out why!!)
It was wild and twisty; but a superb HEA. I loved Jake talking to Boo as if that little dog was a person who could talk back
This felt all over the place.
Ethan and Creed’s relationship, we just got “told” they loved each other but we weren’t shown it.
There was so many random things that were heavily explained that didn’t seem to have a purpose other than filler. (Creed’s cousins only fans type page). Lots of hockey teammates to keep track of that didn’t really get past surface level so was weird.
I enjoyed Jakub Ethan and Creed as a unit, though it was all insta love seemingly. Creed and Jakub were shy at first but then went of course I’ll love and marry you!
Novi was so damn funny the entire time. I loved how he tried to trick people into thinking he didn’t really understand English all that well and how he probably had RBF, but to him he was smiling and extremely happy.
Novi and Ezra being besties was hilarious, we had a lot of great moments of past characters and the collective
Devastating, and tragic
There was no justice for what Billy did :(
I’m so glad Aiden got his happy ending. After meeting him in the previous book, he seemed very happy go lucky and affectionate. We learned more about his past trauma, and kind of saw him grow into himself and be free with Ash.
Ash is shy and reluctant at first but the two slowly become friends, after Aiden frequents the coffee shop he works at for his daily dose of caffeine and ash.
Ash also has a tragic past, and it’s easy to say from the outside how you want to shake him to make the “right choice” but as a victim, he was just trying to stay alive.
Aiden and Ash found peace with each other
This was oh so good. It wasn’t so much forbidden as it was secret.
I loved the secret meet up, with the blindfolds and lights off.
It was “twin brothers best friends” but the brother didn’t have a huge reaction to it, as the MC assumed he would
The sex was fun, and while Gabe was being wildly possessive he was still sweet.
I really enjoyed this second chance romance!
I think a lot happened on the camping/hiking/outdoor adventure that perhaps was not appropriate so close to the kids (outbursts and attitude, also the frolic in the forest)
Both Bennett and Xander were hurt and stubborn, but it was sweet to see that after so much time had passed they still had their fond memories and inside jokes. Once they got over themselves and tried to forget the past, it was a quick and easy comfort for them being close again.
I did not vibe with this. The MC’s felt so fake and cheesy in the worst way. I know I’m reading a romance book but it felt wildly over exaggerated. Nobody talks like that in real life about how they are so perfect all the time.
They were “best friends” (only knew each other for like maybe 2 years) but like neither really found the other attractive at all, or thought to do anything about it until the kiss cam.
Yes men and women can be friends but it went from platonic to “she’s perfect and everything and mine” overnight. It felt weird.
This was so unique and fun!
The chemistry was off the charts, and I wish I had more of this.
Even just an epilogue of their life into their relationship but overall super good.
Lots of spice and steam, and all that fun cutesy stuff we love. New to me author and been on my TBR for a while but enjoyed this a lot.
This was dark, wild, and spicy.
Very tense, but the forbidden age gap (30 yrs) as coach x student was insane and hot
While Bryant was super dominant and “punishing”, he still had a super tender heart once they finally admitted feelings.
Jack was a brat, and purposefully did things to get punished but it was all consensual
