Audio Review: No Feelings Involved

Image
No Feelings Involved by Siobhan Davis My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Lia Holland & Dash Coleman Loved the story!!!  Not that impressed with the narration.  I am a fool for a good brother's best friend romance.  This story had all the things I love about them!  I was really excited to finally get a story about Ryan!  And to find out what the heck happened with him and Mindy (his sister's friend that he had been dating for a while).  The sexual tension between Summer and Ryan is fantastic!  Their banter is hilarious.  I really love Summer's confidence!  There were a few things that happened that really should have brought a tear to my eye, but I wasn't feeling any kind of emotion from the narrators, so it didn't hit me the same.  And the revelations didn't hit the same either.  I think that some day I will have to read the book myself and it will probably pull...

Review: Dauntless

Image
Dauntless by Victoria Denault My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow!  I was enthralled with these 2 men from jump!  Both Chase and Bowen captured my heart with their individual stories, but them together had me feeling all the things!  This had "gay for you" vibes, but it was really more like he was gay before, just not out yet and all it took was meeting the right guy to make you want it all.  The conflict/fight felt like a total gut punch to me... from both sides!  It wasn't even just one party that made me mad about it!  That was awesome!  Great read.  Totally love the other characters too, who I assume have their own books in the series.  The whole place seems like 1 big happy family..... kind of like the "gay bar" version of Cheers!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst     ...

Review: The Bayou Never Tells

Image
The Bayou Never Tells by Chelley St Clair My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A TOP READ OF 2022✨ This book "had me at hello".  Right from the beginning this book was an total page turner!  I didn't want to put it down (#adultiingsucks) This book starts out as an unrequited love that Ivy has towards her best friend (who is totally clueless about her feelings).  Then it changes into an enemies-to-lovers super slow burn with extra sexual tension on the side!  WHEW! 🥵🥵🥵 Silas is EVERYTHING!  Since this book is a dual POV you actually get the chance to LOVE Silas.  I honestly feel like if you got it all from Ivy's POV, Silas would be damn near unredeemable.  When Ivy was dealing with her broken heart feelings, he was kind of a jerk about it... and while I totally understood why he wanted things to happen the way that they did, I felt like he was rather heartless to Ivy about the way that she was feeling!  Ivy is my girl 100%....

Review: The Deal Dilemma

Image
The Deal Dilemma by Meagan Brandy My rating: 5 of 5 stars Davis has got some spunk I tell you what!  Crew was her brother's best friend and became a foster brother to her also.  But she has been in love with him since she was a teenager.  He was her first kiss.  So when she wanted to get rid of her virginity, he was who she thought of.  She hadn't really spoken to him in a few years, but she still felt like it had to be him.  He turns her down, but then says that he will help her find some one else to.  So that means he has to spend time with her.... and that is almost a win in her book.   Crew is quite resistant to be with Davis..... but he doesn't want anyone else to either.  Memphis, Davis' brother, has caused a lot of trouble over the years, all while basically making Crew think that he wasn't good enough for Davis.... So that was an issue also..... talk about hypocrite!  Anyway the bac...

Review: A Merry Little Meet Cute

Image
A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Definitely a fun read. The idea of a porn star in hiding and a former boy band member making a "wholesome Christmas movie" together..... just that premise alone had me more than ready to read it. Bee and Nolan had me captivated... it did take a bit for me to get into it, but once I was, I could not put it down. And the side characters were also quite amusing! I kinda feel like I may need a bit more about some of them! Absolutely recommend this for someone looking to get into the holiday spirit. View all my reviews

Audio Review: Kade

Image
Kade by Jane Anthony My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Lee Daniels & Gregory Salinas YES! YES! YESSSSS!  I have decided that Jane Anthony brings us some of THE SWOONIEST H's around!  Kade had me from the start.  I am not going to lie.... he did make me super angry a time or 2.  Do not even get me started on Bob.... that man was the most infuriating!  I was totally in love with the idea of Jenny and Banger!  The story if Kade and Ainsley was so back and forth... and all the while I was thinking "Can they just get it together already?!?"  I was a bit annoyed with one time that Ainsley pushed Kade away because by that point he had already shown that he was all in and could fix just about any problem that came up.  But she just didn't have faith.  The narration was really good!  I was sucked right in and didn't want to stop listening.  I highly recommend this book.  It was ...

Review: In Her Space

Image
In Her Space by Amie Knight My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book picks up 10 years after the the first book ended.... Adam has invented an App and made millions, and Liv has gone to college and come back home (sort of) to work at the planetarium.  Well Adam is ready to come back and take care of some unfinished business on "the island" so he buys that planetarium and a house on the island..... Now Liv is working for Adam.  And there is most definitely things that need to be worked out. So much happens in this book but without seeming too overwhelming!  It is pretty much got something going on right from the beginning there seemed to be no down time.  Finding a place to pause so you could go to work, sleep or just general adulting was damn near impossible.  I am in love with this duet!  I am in love with Adam and Liv!  I am in love with all of it!!!  Totally getting all the swoony stars!!!  Not only was ...

Audio Review: The Revenge

Image
The Revenge by Tijan My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by Emma Galvin & Joe Arden Well I had been waiting for this book!  I was dying after the way the last book ended!  I have to be totally honest, the first 20% of this book was rather boring to me.  As Bailey was working through her grief, the book was pretty much dragging.  Once it picked up though, it really got going.  I really LOVE the character growth for Matt in this whole trilogy!  He is the once character that I think had the most change.  There was so many revelations in the book that it was so much fun to listen to and sometimes hard to keep up with them..... one minute your head was blown and then it would happen again just a chapter or 2 later.   Definitely an entertaining listen!  The narration was pretty good.  And by the end everything was wrapped up in a nice pretty bow.   As a whole I very mu...

Review: Two for the Show

Two for the Show by Skye Warren My rating: 4 of 5 stars Gah!  These 2 are going to drive me crazy!  I have been #TeamEva since I first saw her in Secret Beast and the way that she handled Leo.... I could not WAIT to get her story... and it is not disappointing AT ALL!  And Finn is really coming around for me!  He started off in a not so great pace after the way that the last book ended and the way be behaved when he was around Eva for the first time on this book.  But he is coming around!  And now with this cliffy I am READY to see what happens in the next one!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍 Angst          💔💔💔 One-click here~~~>   https://amzn.to/3QMydQR View all my reviews

Audio Review: Only Ever Yours

Image
Only Ever Yours by Nikki Ash My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by Kelsey Navarro & Javi Wilder Yes!  I thought this story of Camilla and Isaac was really great! I really enjoyed their instalove that Camilla fought so hard against!  There were some really good twists that I did not see coming!  I was so wrapped up in the main part that the little side clues totally went over my head!  The narration was great, these 2 pulled me into the story from the very beginning!  And Isaac had me totally swooning with his "when you know you know" sentiment!  Knowing that Camilla was the one for him and he wasn't going to be swayed at all!  So much fun to listen to!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔 Narration   👏👏👏👏👏 View all my r...

Review: Outcast

Image
Outcast by Nicole Dykes My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another enjoyable MM read by Nicole!  Tristan and Hayden form a friendship.  While Tristan is straight and going on dates (that his sister forces on him) with women, Hayden has a bit of a crush on him.  But knowing that his friend is not gay he never expects anything to come from it.  Until it does, and that was when Hayden started going into freak out mode.  It really is funny that the person that needed to be talked off the ledge (so to speak) is the man that already knew he was gay!  The one just figuring it out totally goes with the flow!  These 2 are basically perfect for each other and I very much enjoyed reading all about them.  Plus I am SO happy that Hayden FINALLY gets, and accepts love in his life!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst    ...

Review: In The Aftermath

Image
In The Aftermath by Meadow Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars The story of Tristan and Cade begins as a friendship that grows a crazy strong bond when they save their friends from Axton's crazy AF parents.  Things get more intimate when they go to Cade's family home so he can be there for and then mourn the death of a woman who was like a mother to him. (Cade's family is a HUGE polygamist family.  They both are there for each other for some interesting family drama and they get even closer through it all.  These 2 men were so much fun to follow... they were hot and funny and I absolutely enjoyed reading all about them.  This series has very much captivated me and I am looking forward to more from this world Meadow has created.   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔💔 Vie...

Audio Review: The Bully

Image
T he Bully by Sophie Lark My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVEIW🎧 Narrated by:  Lilly Drake, Gregory Salinas & Antonio Turner  Wow!  So this was the first book in this series that I listened to... I think I need to go back and start with The Heir!  Even though there were things mentioned from previous books, it was still pretty easy to pick it all up.  Dean and Cat are total 🔥🔥🔥.  I really enjoyed the suspense that was involved with some of the things that happened..... and Dean totally made me swoon a time or 2.  And I really enjoyed the story!  The narration was a bit slow for me.  It is the first time that I have had to speed up the book.  But still I would recommend this book and I am eager to get to the others in the series!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍 Angst      ...

Review: Truck Stop Tango

Image
Truck Stop Tango by Krissy Daniels My rating: 4 of 5 stars Well well well..... reading this book was a long time coming and now I am left wondering what the hell took me so long!  I would have liked a bit more sexual tension before they finally got back together in THAT way.... but there was also so much suspense wrapped up in the whole story that I was constantly taking note with my thoughts on the things happening.  I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book!  I am quite excited to get into the next one, there was quite the nice set up for it, without being cliffhanger-y.  I have no idea what took me so long to read this book, but I will be working my way through the rest of the series.   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔 One-click here ~~~>   ...

Review: Out of Bounds

Image
Out of Bounds by Lucia Franco My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ok so seeing as how this was a companion novel and not to be read without having read the Off Balance series, I have to go about this a bit differently.  To be totally honest I was not a huge fan of the deleted scenes, BUT I think that may have been due to the fact that I haven't read the books in a while, so if I were to go back and re-read the series and then go read the deleted scenes I would most likely appreciate them A LOT more!  I absolutely loved the Valentine's note from Kova.   I think if it were up to me I would like to have seen a note of what he may have given her on their wedding day.  Or to see some journal entries from any of her pregnancies.   More than anything I FLOVED the interview with Kova!  OMG that man would be so infuriating to interview, but in all honesty it seems like most coaches are.... getting answers is like pulling teet...

Review: Force of Nature

Image
Force of Nature by Skye Warren My rating: 4 of 5 stars Those cliffhangers get me every time!  I am rather enjoying the premise of the story.  But honestly some of it got lost in a couple of chapters that were devoted to a fever induced "dream".  It really was confusing to me.... but in all honesty that could just be me and how I read because I have mild ADD.  And the term "slow burn" is very accurate.  Because of how things went for June and Carter on this deserted island, there really wasn't even much opportunity for them to have sexual tension between them..... but then when the spice came...... IT CAME!!!! (pun sort of intended) There was a part that surprised the heck out of me and I will just keep that to myself and let you see what happens!  I am definitely looking forward to the next book, I have a feeling I will enjoy it much more, I feel like this one was kind of the build up to when the real fun/action be...
