Review: The Viscount Who Loved Me

Image
The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review🎧 I can not even tell you how much I loved this book! Anthony Bridgerton has this idea that he will die young like his father, so he intends to marry someone that he won't fall in love with.  We all know how well that always works out.  The enemies-to-lovers thing they have going on was so much fun to follow.  How Kate got into her compromising position had me crying from laughter!  Their banter is hilarious!  And I look forward to getting more bits of them in the future Bridgerton books!   Story   πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸ Spice     πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Swoon   πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜ Angst    πŸ’”πŸ’” Narration   πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ View all my reviews

Review: Barbarian Lover

Barbarian Lover by Ruby Dixon My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 I continue on with this world getting into the audio version.  I am still loving this series.... this one got a bit emotional for me.  Kira and Aehako were such a fantastic coupling!  He really was just what she needed in her life.  And the way they interacted with each other was so much fun they had me totally captivated.

Review: Dirty Promises

Image
Dirty Promises by Aubrey Bondurant My rating: 5 of 5 stars I need a fan and some ice cream!!! For the love of all that it HOT AF! When Aubrey said Dirty Promise... she was not kidding! And she even got me in the feels! So basically Oakley has known Max her whole life. She is best friends with his sister, after all. But when they end up in the car together, headed to the wedding, and then having to room together at the resort..... well..... that's when all the fun begins! The relationship building between Max and Oakley is hot. The friendship issues that Oakley ends up having with her BFF broke my heart! And then Max just needs to get past his fear that everyone will be as judgmental as his parents! Honestly I think I could have done with a lot more Max and Oakley! They are my kind of people! Great read. Super hot. I totally think that everyone needs a bit of Max and Oakley in their lives!!! Story  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice  πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯...

Review: Man For Me

Image
Man For Me by Laurelin Paige My rating: 5 of 5 stars It isn't often that a novella has me on the verge of tears. But this one did. I liked that Eden was confident enough to go for what she wanted, even though she was feeling all kinds of rejection. She didn't give up with the first sign of rejection, she kept on going because she knew that in the end it would be worth the effort. I also loved that it was the female that did the grand gesture this time. Yu don't see that a whole lot. Brett was just as swoony as I had anticipated him to be. And my heart was breaking for them both! Loved this book. Its short and hot.... definitely worth the read!

Review: Getting Schooled

Image
Getting Schooled by Emma Chase My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Wow!  I loved it!  Emma Chase was a new to me author and now I am thinking I need more from her!  This was a FANTASTIC small town, 2nd chance romance.  There was an angst to it that was just enough to break your heart but not so much that you feel your stomach coming up your throat!  Garrett was cocky AF ..... but he didn't let that ego get in the way of giving another shot to the woman that broke his heart.... and he didn't let it stand in the way of accepting his feelings for her.  Callie was just so inspiring!  Jumping into being a substitute teacher for a drama class when you didn't go to school for teaching had to be difficult.   But she took that task head on!  And with the help of Garrett she made it work, better than she was even expecting it to!  The epilogue was PERFECTION!!!  I totally think I am going to get into mor...

Review: How to Catch a Wicked Viscount

How to Catch a Wicked Viscount by Amy Rose Bennett My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨Top Listen of 2021 ✨ I had totally forgotten how much I LOVE historical romance!  But Ms. Amy Rose Bennett has totally reminded me!  I love a good sibling's best friend book.  So I was intrigued by this one.  I freaking LOVE it!!  Like all of it!  Sophie and Nate were thoroughly entertaining on their own.... but then there were the others in the story.  Sophie's 3 friends and also Nate's friends.   Baron Buxton totally creeped me out from the start!  I am totally drawing a blank on the man's name now.... but there was this other Viscount that was courting Sophie and he had me freaking SWOONING!  Charlotte (Charlie) was a freaking riot!  I absolutely adore her and I can not wait to get to her story in the series!   There were some super hot scenes that had me panting!  And then there were the ones that brought ...

Review: A Billion Reasons

Image
A Billion Reasons by Jessa York My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨TOP READ OF 2021✨ Whew!!!  These books just keep getting hotter and hotter!  And the cliffhangers keep getting more and more infuriating!  During this installment you get to find out what happened to Eve.  And Nick has to come to terms with the fact that he can not be without her.  Eve spent a good amount of the book recovering, which was difficult for Nick to handle for more than one reason.  Eve's bestfriend, Louise, shows up after not seeing her for a couple years.  She insisted on staying to help take care of her friend. I got super mad at Nick a time or 2.  The way he was responding to Louise was frustrating to me because he was obviously interested, but was supposed to be in love with Eve.  And while he did scold himself for his interest, I just didn't think that he felt bad enough.  And I was not sure what was going to happen with all that! ...

Review: A Billion Secrets

A Billion Secrets by Jessa York My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A TOP READ OF 2021✨ Ok... so lets recap... cliffy at the end of book 1. I was intrigued by how it all went down and why.  Now I know all that.  So then I get through this HOT AF story about Eve and Nick (I literally thought my kindle was going to combust) just to end with an even worse cliffy than the first one?!?!?  Holy freaking hotness.  I am all over this stuff.  It has some of my favorite hot scenes of the year in this book!  Nick had a friend, Stephan, show up.  And I was a little creeped out by him at first. But then he grew on me... and I am very much hoping he makes another visit in a later part of the story!  And there are some other things that have really got my interest piqued! And I am trying to work through the mystery is my head.... so I am ready for more!  Story   πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸ Spice    πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Swoon   πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜...

Review: Atone

Image
Atone by Cassandra Robbins My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 I wasn't a big fan of David after the Entitled Duet (if you haven't read them then you REALLY need to get on that). When I heard about this book and knew it was his story I was quite excited about it and felt totally fine spreading the word about it because I just KNEW and had total faith that Cassandra was going to change my mind about him. I was right.... through the eyes of Charlie, my feelings on this man changed before I was even 25% in! I started this book in the morning and was finished the same night! David has had some bad stuff happen and didn't deal with it well, and now he thinks that he is broken beyond repair and is no good for Charlie. Despite this he can not seem to stay away from her. Their pull is too strong. I ran through a whole lot of emotions while reading this story. There is so much loss and pain felt, some truly heartbreaking moments. And then there are ...

Review: A Billion Desires

Image
A Billion Desires by Jessa York My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨TOP READ OF 2021✨ Please excuse me while I hose myself down....... πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦ Nick and Cherry are really freaking HOT! This is a story of a high end prostitute and a billionaire who like his women a certain way..... committed and clingy is not a way he likes them.  So when he gets attached to Cherry.... the only thing he can think of is to get a month on her undivided attention and pay her well for it..... she knew that he was a very generous client (in more ways than one).  But what kind of man would he be when she got to his home???   Love this story so much!  I BETA read this while I was on vacation and got it done in one day.... I have read it again and it was still just as captivating the 2nd time around.  This is book 1 so it does end on a cliffhanger.  But I am ready and eager to get right into the 2nd book now!!!   Story   πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸ Spice...

Review: Hold on to My Heart

Image
Hold on to My Heart by Bella Andre My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another Sullivan hit!  I love this family and I love seeing the members get their HEA.  In this story you get to see what happens when Ashley, a single mother, falls for a rock star, Nash!  She had a jerk of a baby daddy.... and he tries to get in the way.  Nash has been on the go since he left home at a young age..... and he is thinking that it may be time to stay put for a while.  This small town not only has the one person that he wants to be with.... but also her son and a very friendly community that mostly try to let him have a "normal" existence!  Definitely a great, uplifting love story!

Review: Lethal

Lethal by Cassandra Robbins My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Wow.... πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯.... I don't even think there is enough flames for this book! I legit need to go stick my head in the freezer!!! I am so freaking in love with Blade and Eve! Are you kidding me right now??? This book had so much greatness that I am absolutely amazed that I was able to finish it in one day.... (we won't talk about how many of my work hours were spent reading and not working). Do you ever just want to jump into a book and slap the person you are reading about? Well that happened to me today..... MANY TIMES! Despite all the crap that Eve had went through in her life she was still so open to love... and when she felt it she let it be known! That took a bravery that not many women, or even men who face down gun men, posses! I will say that I may have a bit of a girl crush. Blade was H.A.F!!! Holy hell! That man damn near set my panties on fire! A time or 2 I thought my...

Review: Balance

Balance by Lucia Franco My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 ✨TOP LISTEN of 2021✨ I read this book back in 2019 and I was in love from the start! Well now I have listened to the audio and I am in love even more! I am so glad that I can revisit Ria & Kova! Sarah Puckett did a fantastic job between giving a voice to Adrianna and doing the male voice with a Russian accent. Definitely a MUST LISTEN! Woah! Woah! Woah! I am so into this story it is unreal! Like I am super mad that I can not move on to Execution right away! This story about a gymnast and her coach is so hot. So angsty. So freaking awesome! The age gap and forbidden relationship is just so entertaining! Lucia has got a very descriptive way of writing so that there were times when I was physically feeling the pain that Adrianna was feeling. I love this story! I can not wait to read more about these characters! And I am totally in LOVE with Hayden.... I want to punch Reagan in the face. I jus...

Review: A Gorgeous Villain

A Gorgeous Villain by Saffron A. Kent My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Wow!  Well I tell you what..... this man had me swooning.... even when he was trying to be a dick! AS he is trying to keep his emotional distance from her.... he is totally showing all his feelings that he claims to not be able to have!  For a guy who had such a toxic relationship with his own dad, he sure did take to the idea of fatherhood, despite him only being 21, like it was the most natural thing in the world for him to do.  And the strength that Callie showed in dealing with him and his issues had me in awe of her.  And as usual Saffron had me feeling all the feels and not wanting to put his book down..... my husband had to drag me out to get grocery shopping done..... But I am loving this series and I can not WAIT to hear more from the St Mary's ladies..... or Callie's brothers!  MAN!  Those guys are something else all together!  I am tot...

Review: Flesh Fiction

Flesh Fiction by Suanne Laqueur My rating: 4 of 5 stars Whew.... this was a really good read!  There were some stories that were sweet... some that were hot AF..... but they were all short and made it quite easy to keep on turning the pages!  Some notes about a few of the stories...... πŸ–€Peep by Auden Dar Holy crap!!!  This was a super hot story.  I was ALL IN for this one.... and then the ending had me ready to spit fire!  I could totally use more from this story.... like NOW!  πŸ–€ Pied Piper by Hilaria Alexander Yeah this was one of those sweet stories.... with a hilarious meeting in a Target aisle.  Honestly I think I would love more from these 2 also!  Single dads are always pretty hot right?!? πŸ–€ A Call Away by Danielle Allen Yep..... this one had me all a mess!  In more ways than one!  I totally think that more books need scenes like this in them!  Very hot!  Totally the things that sexy dreams...

Review: Canary

Image
Canary by Tijan My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a very intriguing story! Raize was most definitely hot and in a major protective mode.  He had some great instincts, which I am sure were very much needed in his line of work.  He trusted no one.... and then in came Ash.  He trusted her with so much.  Her story was a bit confusing to me.  It took a while for her stuff to come out, and when it did I still kind of felt a little lost with it....and maybe that was kind of the point.  🀷‍♀️  I am not always the biggest fan of mafia because of the violence, and while there was a lot of that in this story....it was not descriptive which made it easier to read.  There was definitely suspenseful moments that had me continuing to turn the page and kept saying "just one more chapter".  Very enjoyable read!   Story     πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸ Spice    πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Swoon   πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜ Angst    πŸ’”πŸ’”...
