Review: The Unrequited

The Unrequited The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book took a while for me to get into. The beginning was a bit slow. It was worth it though. There was seriously so much going on with each of the main characters that if it had been any quicker paced the reader would have gotten lost. (or at least THIS reader would have)

Layla is a very complicated young lady. She fell in love with her stepbrother. Did everything she could think of to get his love in return. She even got him drunk and high and seduced him. But it didn't work, and he left her in a strange bed in the middle of the night.

Thomas is a professor at the college Layla goes to. She was not in his class at first. She spotted him in the crowd and had to follow him.... right into the class room he would be teaching in. She eventually registered for his poetry class. Thomas is married with a young baby. Layla spots his despair almost immediately. He in in love with his wife, but she does not feel the same. Layla decides that she is supposed to save him. She plans to be what she thinks he needs until his wife comes to her senses. She seems to think that she will be able to have this affair with him while not getting too attached to him, and not regretting all the things they are doing. She failed on all sides!

I was very pleased with how the whole thing worked out. There were some twists that I did not see coming at all, like totally had my jaw dropping. Actually there were quite a few. I thought it was a great story of a totally dysfunctional beginning to an epic romance. Hot sex scenes included! I think it very much lived up the hype that it was getting.

  Timeless by Kaylene Winter          4.75 🌟  4 🔥 Absolutely LOVE this series!! And I am not sure if I am ready for the Encore books yet..... but I will get into them soon! This is a childhood friends to lovers story that spans decades. Both Fiona and Zane have a lot of family issues to sort through on their own and they have always been a huge support for each other.... the one thing that was always solid. Until her mom took her away claiming that Zane was going to be just like his father. These 2 go through so much to be together that I was feeling gutted through out the entire book! And I was constantly getting mad at the different obstacles that kept blocking them from their happily ever after! And when they are together..... they are HOT 🔥🔥🔥. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was ..... DAMMIT! When can we find out if Carter and Lianne get back together FOR GOOD?!?!?

                                                                               Stealing Heats by Lex Martin     4.25🌟 4🔥      This book was JUST what I needed!  It was hot, fast-paced, a bit of suspense, and a woman-you-love-to-hate!  Brother's best friend, but with the added angst that the brother died Rhett wants to save his family's ranch and the only way he can get a loan is to be married.  Paige needs to rehab an injury, but has no insurance to do it.  So win/win.  And then they go and let feelings get involved.  But with the way that Paige seamlessly fits right into his family with all his brothers, there was no way that feelings wouldn't come about.... not to mention the history and Paige's ch...

  Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy          5🌟 2🔥 Definitely worth the wait! This was a SUPER SLOW BURN book! So if you are looking for spice, it isn't here!  But if you are looking for a heart felt, gut wrenching tale of love lost, then found again.... you are in the right place!  Mason was such a hot AF super alpha and was ready to take charge right away.  He knew he wanted it all and he wanted it with Payton!  Chase was sticking his meddling nose in where it didn't belong (AGAIN) and I was ready to figure out how to jump into the book just to punch him in the face!  But then look at him trying to redeem himself!  We shall see!  This story must have been a tough one for Meagan to tell.... they guilt and pain that Payton feels through out the whole book, over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that she really has contact with.  But most of all the guilt about Deaton (the decease father of her son), Little D(eaton) and Mason. I...
