Review: Power

Image
Power by Cassandra Robbins My rating: 5 of 5 stars There were so many aspects to this story that made it impossible to put down.  First there is the relationship between Raven and her mother, Rachel.  It was beyond toxic.  And in many ways it really felt like Raven was more of an adult than Rachel was. Also the relationship between Rachel and Jett was just wrong on SO many levels.  That woman wouldn't know how to love anything if it smacked her in the face.  Then here is the relationship between Raven and Maria.  She is so protective of that girl and seeing how Maria acts towards Jett is hilarious! Then there is the relationship that had with Brody and Cher!  Talk about some epic, ride or die friends!  That brings me to the relationship between Raven and Jett...... 🔥🔥🔥💦💦💦 Well..... it was HOT AF!  And oh so complicated!  And everything he thought he was successfully pushing her away, he go...

Review: In The Sunlight

Image
In The Sunlight by Meadow Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a really good, lower angst, story from Meadow Jones.  I really enjoyed the differences Jude and Vaughn.  And the babies!!!!  Oh the cuteness overload!  I love that Jude is so great with kids.... his patience is totally tested with Vaughn.  But he has it in spades!  Just a really good MM story.  Both of these men had me mildly swooning and ready for them to f and get it over with already!!!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍 Angst            💔💔💔 One-click here  ~~~>   https://amzn.to/3gQRHrr View all my reviews

Review: Lotus

Lotus by Jennifer Hartmann My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 ✨TOP LISTENS OF 2022✨ Narrated by:  Cali Nottingham & Bradley Ford  There are times when I have absolutely no clue how to review a book because all I want to do is talk about it and I end up rambling like a hot mess..... THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES!!!  This story was EVERYTHING!  And I am so mad that it took me this long to listen to it.  And I am so glad that I listened.  The narration was PHENOMENAL!  Cali and Bradley totally took me there, like I was right in the story.  Living in their neighborhood!  This story of Sydney and Oliver had me captivated from the very first sentence!  A story about a boy that was kidnapped and then came back 22 years later... I AM HERE FOR IT!  Childhood friends to lovers.... YES PLEASE! ANd Oliver was SO FREAKING SWOONY!!!   I had so many questions until about 50% in... and the...

Review: Extortion

Image
Extortion by Amelia Wilde My rating: 4 of 5 stars I wasn't feeling this one as much as the others.  For some reason the connection that I was starting to get in the first book, didn't quite make it back for this one.  I felt like most of the book was Will going back and forth between self deprecation and letting Bristol in.  It also felt a bit like the story stalled until the end.  I am still totally invested in them and really want the next book.  There were a couple super hot scenes, and a very suspenseful cliffhanger.  So I am quite eager to get the next book.    Story     🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice     🔥🔥🔥 Swoon   😍😍😍 Angst    💔💔 One-click here ~~~>  https://amzn.to/3soVjDt But don't forget you must read Blackmail first ~~~>  https://amzn.to/3TEOhqs View all my reviews

Review: Hostile

Image
Hostile by Nicole Dykes My rating: 5 of 5 stars Another fantastic Nicole Dykes story!  There was so much about this book that I loved!  I loved that Grayson was willing to take a chance.  I loved that Rhett threw himself into supporting things that Grayson liked (like the sports he played) since Grayson had gotten really into volunteering with the kids.  I loved that they were both very inexperienced!  Grayson mentioned doing a few things before, but it was still all totally new to them both and I loved that figuring it out together!  Their separation was heartbreaking!  But I am super glad that Grayson came to his senses and realized what he needed to do to be with the man that he loved.   🎧Update from audio review! 🎧 I loved it just as much as before!  And the narration was so good it only added to the story for me!

Audio Review: Praise

Image
Praise by Sara Cate My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Vivienne LaRue & Jack Calihan I had to rehydrate before I could write this review!  Whew!!!  This was THE HOTTEST book I have read so far this year!  I was loving the story of Charlotte & Emerson.  They went circles for a while and I was wondering how long it was going to take before they gave in.  They were hot AF, they were fun, and they had a chemistry that was off the charts!  Now the whole thing with Emerson being her exboyfriend's dad wasn't much of an issue for me.  Beau was a problem for me.  He was such a jerk and then thought that he could be rude to her some more and expect her to run right back to him when he decided he wanted her (which I think was only because she was working for his dad).  The only thing that disappointed me, and took away 1/2 star, was that I really wanted Emerson to grovel more!  While I t...

Review: Falter

Image
Falter by Fiona Cole My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow.... just wow!  Y'all this book had me all up in my feels!  Like I can not even believe that I got so emotional over this book! 😭 I have been a HUGE fan of Oliva and Kent since they were introduced!  And that has not changed at all.... Kent has become even swoonier.  But he definitely shows in this book that he had some work to do in the "relationship" department.  Always find a way to make time for your wife!  But these 2 are solid so I had complete faith that they would work it out..... but the journey to get there had me reaching for my tissue box!  Fantastic read!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔💔 One-click here!!!  ~~~>  https://amzn.to/3TE4Baj But first you have to read Liar...

Audio Review: Beneath the Surface

Image
Beneath the Surface by Emily McIntire My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVEIW🎧 Narrated by:  Cecily Foster &  Blake Lockheart For those who have been waiting for Lily's story...... ITS HERE!!!    Now I do have to say that there were some things about Lily that still made me super angry..... but honestly, it wasn't anything that doesn't scream addict.  And yes... I know she had a rough time before she got to Sugarlake.... but if you read Beneath the Stars then you have an idea of how she behaved as a teenager and it wasn't cute.  Now... Mason was BEYOND swoony!  Overall this was a fantastic way to wrap up the series!  I absolutely loved how the epilogues have you a look at not just what Mason and Lily were up to, but what the rest of the gang was doing also!  And the narration was pretty good with this.  I didn't lose interest or feel the need to speed up the the audio!   Story...

Review: Keeper

Image
Keeper by Nicole Dykes My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow!  This book totally got me in the feels!  Camden and Kingston were the best of friends!  And their friendship was so strong!  But Camden didn't think that it would be strong enough to deal with Camden being gay and in love with his best friend.  Can it stand the distance when Camden goes to college?  I honestly don't think that I have read about 2 people that had such a close friendship with such a strong bond!  They were so much fun to watch.... and their interactions with others was quite amusing also.  There were some very serious points that had me crying!  I am just so in love with their love!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔💔 You can one-click here ~~~>   https://amzn.to...

Review: The Billionaire and His Forever

Image
The Billionaire and His Forever by Sadie S. Black My rating: 5 of 5 stars ✨A TOP READ OF 2022✨ This trilogy is fan-freaking-tastic!!!  Graham and Abbie go through so much to be together!  It was breaking my heart all along the way!  Once you think that things are going to be ok.... it isn't.  Natasha (Graham's exwife) is like an annoying illness... you think you are better and then it comes back to remind you that you are still having to deal with it!  Jude steals the show in all occasions!  That girl can make any of the situations seem just a bit brighter and like there may be a light at the end of this tunnel.   When Abbie and Graham are hot..... THEY ARE FIRE!!!  And when they are apart.... they are the most heartbreakingly sad people!  I really was quite happy when Abbie found herself again.... she is young and while she thought her world was ending and the future that she was dreaming of wa...

Audio Review: This Much Is True

Image
This Much Is True by Tia Louise My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVEIW🎧   Narrated by:  Samantha Brentmoor & Jason Clarke This story about JR and Hope was super cute!  JR was super grumpy!  With a good reason!  But still.... and Hope was just like her name.... a breath of fresh air with big dreams and enough optimism for the both of them.... he was trying to keep his distance... and when that didn't work and he caved..... he soon decided he was draggin her into his "mess" and would push her away.  He was a very frustrating man!   It was a very enjoyable listen.... Samantha and Jason did a great job of keeping my attention and making the story come to life!

Review: Velvet Cruelty

Image
Velvet Cruelty by Eve Dangerfield My rating: 4 of 5 stars Holy HOT AF craziness!!!  January has got her work cut out for her with these 4!  Eli, Bobby, Doc & Adriano all seem to have a different kink that they are into.  So she will have a lot of learning to do!  Basically January is taken from the alter as she is about to marry Zachary Parker, by these 4 men.  They have something against Parker and she is the best way to get to him.  January is a virgin.... and while there are some VERY steamy scenes.... she makes it through the whole story with her virginity in tact (technically).  She is desperate to hold on to it because she thinks that it is the only thing keeping her alive.  (she doesn't seem to understand just how deep their obsession wit her is).  Oh coarse it ends on a cliffhanger and I am dying to get the next one to see what happens!!!  Story          🌟🌟...

Review: I Don't

Image
I Don't by S.M. Stryker My rating: 4 of 5 stars New to me author.... and I was very pleasantly surprised!  Hudson is getting ready to marry Travis the next day, until she gets text messages from an unknown # with proof that he is cheating one her... right up to the night before the wedding!  She decides to go on her honeymoon alone and is going to find herself!  I really do like Grayson and how they met.  I think there are some quite amusing things that happened that had me laughing and some others that had me wanting to junk punch some people.... like more than just one person!  Very enjoyable story and I will definitely be reading more from this author!   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔 One-click here ~~~>  https://amzn.to/3EuyNQM View all my ...

Review: The Billionaire and His Scandal

Image
The Billionaire and His Scandal by Sadie S. Black My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow..... just wow!  This story just gets better and better!   The cliffhanger from book 1 gets cleared up and you know who, what, when and why.... but then there is another cliffhanger that happens and I am ready to know what the heck is going to fix it so that Graham and Abbie can get their HEA (along with Jude).  Natasha (Graham's exwife) worms her way back into the house and wreaks havoc on Jude's routine.  And then of coarse once Abbie and Graham get through one thing and get back to their relationship, something else happens to get in the way!  😭.... and don't even get me started in Abbie's dad!  What kind of father basically pimps out his 19 year old daughter?  And then gets mad at her for developing feelings when he knew she had them before?  Ugh!  Stupid man!  Anyway I am totally ready for book 3 now..... hop...

Audio Review: Miss Fortune

Image
Miss Fortune by Aubrey Bondurant My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVEIW🎧 Narrated by Ariel Royce & Christopher Rourk The love that I have for Daisy before this book even began was immeasurable! It was going to take some one really freaking special for me to feel ok with her putting her heart on the line...... In comes Caleb.  From the very beginning you can tell he is not really the uptight suit that he portrays himself as.  He seems to fight so hard between who he is and who he thinks he is supposed to be.... which is exactly why Daisy is PERFECT for him!  They were so much fun to read about!  They had so much fun together.  Some of the places they went .... I totally want to go now.  Honestly these 2 are totally #RelationshipGoals  ..... and their story is very inspiring!  Definitely a MUST READ!!! Story            🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice            🔥🔥🔥 Swo...

Review: The Billionaire and His Nanny

Image
The Billionaire and His Nanny by Sadie S. Black My rating: 5 of 5 stars New to me author and I AM OBSESSED!!!  I am loving Graham and Abbie's story!  While Graham is HOT AF during this book.... his swoon factor doesn't come in until the end!  And then that cliffy!  Whew!  I spent so much time reading this book while I was supposed to be working that it isn't even funny!  And there is some great mystery involved with this story too.  Abbie is the nanny got Jude, who is just an awesome kid and they have a great relationship. Graham is still in a foul place after his divorce.  I really hope that Graham becomes more swoony!  He seems like he could totally be the trifecta!  So glad I tried this author..... I just may and up being a total fangirl!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍 Angst...

Audio Review: Tainted Blood

Image
Tainted Blood by Cora Kenborn My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧 Narrated by:  Vivienne LaRue & Aaron Shedlock Santi and Talia are back!!!  I love them!  That cliffy from the first book had me reeling.... so I was super glad to finally!  I can not even articulate how swoony Santi became is this story!  GAH!  Before he even knew that his sister was also taken, just for information on Talia he went above and beyond to save the one man he hated most in the rival cartel!  And then he would stop at nothing to get them back.  These 2 give me all the feels.  This book wasn't too spicy, but it was totally action packed and there was some fantastic sexual tension!   And the narration was fantastic!  Pulled me right in and wouldn't let me go!  Love this duet of books!  Hoping for more from some of the other characters in the books.... Like for Ella!  And get more about Lola and Sam!...

Review: Friend Zone Hell

Image
Friend Zone Hell by Marika Ray My rating: 4 of 5 stars Cricket and Callen have been friends since Kindergarten... and when she gets ill and doesn't want to move back home with her parents .... Callen offers to let her live with him and he will help her out.  Little does she know that he has been in love with her since they were seniors in high school.... so LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!  Then decided to try being a couple after a few awkward ALMOSTS happened.  And there were some things that they obviously had to work through.... the thing about F2L is that people think you already know all about them so there shouldn't be a lot of issues.... but this is where the insecurities come into play that weren't there when they we just best friends. Callan is SWOONY AF!  Like I think top 10 Swoony book boyfriends of 2022.   Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon      ...

Review: Ace of Diamonds

Image
Ace of Diamonds by Alta Hensley My rating: 4 of 5 stars Fantastic conclusion for this trilogy!  I felt so bad for Lyriope!  The girl just wanted to be loved, but she was not getting it from the people she should have been.  Everything that Nick went through to get her back was super swoon worthy!  And he was having to learn patience, which was not at all easy for him! Very enjoyable book.  I managed to start and finish it in the same day!  Then entire trilogy is absolutely worth the read!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst          💔💔💔 You can one-click all 3 books here ~~~>   https://amzn.to/3fpbrSc View all my reviews

Review: Upper Hand

Image
Upper Hand by Amelia Wilde My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love this story, and I love where it is going.  I just think that at times it is taking too long to get there.  I love what is  going on between Elise and Gabriel.  And I think that they will be a fantastic power couple.  I think that Gabriel is trying to take on too much responsibility in this whole consortium mess..... but I love that Elise is trying to help him despite leaving that life behind.  There were a couple parts of the book that really felt like they dragged on for too long, but over all I really enjoyed the book.  And thanks to that major cliffhanger... I am quite ready for the next one right now!!!  Story          🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice          🔥🔥🔥 Swoon        😍😍😍😍 Angst         💔💔💔 One-click here ~~~>   https://amzn.to/3RnvVIx M...
