Best Friend's Billionaire Daddy An Age Gap Billionaire romance

This sweet, sexy and quick read was funny and emotional all at the same time. I loved the twist in the re-meeting of the MMC Adrian (Father of Sophia) and Sophia's best friend, Grace! I kinda felt like someone shoulda sat Adrian down before and told him to grown up, he had a bit of Peter Pan Syndrome to me...but, he adored his daughter fiercely. Grace, for her part, is the monetary opposite of Adrian and Sophia, but like Sophia has a sweet nature and a giving heart. The big drama of the story builds slowly, but, THIS IS NO *SLOW BURN* and between the fantastic story and spice, this is a fantastic read! Congratulations Author Amelia Perry!

Vanished MR Becker

The third installment of the Sky Security series starts off in a grocery store and takes you on a dynamic ride from there. The MMC Earl is a member of the exclusive security group (I’d hate to see what they would charge!) who falls fast and hard for our FMC Lily, a young woman on the run. I felt like there was an action.slow, then explosive pace to the book…but, it’s perfectly rational once you know what is going on. This is an emotional, edge of seat action packed, SPICE, (hot dang) age gap, dirty talking book you REALLY need to read! This can be read as a standalone, but, is part of a series!

cruel lies Lilian Harris audio / book form

https://www.bookbub.com/reviews/2450569549 Open the book or press play, Read the first few chapters... fall. This book is sad, infuriated me on behalf of the fmc...until you learn so much more as this book advances. When the right couple is stuck in the wrong time, and the wrong roles for years until things suddenly get interesting...and twisted. I mean, this is a dark mafia book, check your trigger warnings, every placement of the use of the warnings is perfect. The TWIST killed me. by then, I'd fallen far too in love with them as a couple. Brilliant, spice is astounding and in the amazing Lilian Harris style, you just don't want this book to end. *The audio addition was astounding, Troy Duran and Brooke Daniels gave perfect verbal life to the characters. It was perfect*

Haven- Bella Matthews

(Spoiler free zone, if you want that, read THE BOOK :) ) OH.I.AM.SO.HERE.FOR.THIS. I mean, seriously, the second chance, the new try, her family...the HEA. Did I mention the *SPICE* ? Because, holy s*hit, the SPICE. And I love them...the family, the built family and the twist. The twist, damn....I saw the bad after a few, but, NEVER EXPECTED that ending. I've never read the author, Bella Matthews, or the series, Defiant Kings...but that's all going to change. This can be a standalone, however, I love the interconnected stories and love the series. Get this now. Seriously, Go...get it..... WHY ARE YOU STILL LOOKING AT THIS? Congratulations, Bella Matthews

Loyal Vows KETLEY Allison

I adored the characters, world building, the stories impressively crafted in the main overall novel. The spice is decadent, twisted…I was LOST in this book, the puzzle of how Clover interacts with everyone, how the physical and mental game Sarah lead the different factions on was amazing. Did I mention how HOT and next level the spice was in this? However your style of getting happy is, this is the book to trigger that off. Some of the things that Morgan is in to are a bit beyond my interest, but, no shame. There are twists and turns RIGHT TO THE END. Do yourself a favor, start with Broken Beauty, YOU must read that first, the delve into Loyal Vows. Story 5/5 Spice 6/5 Must READ

Risky Game Stacey Lynn

The new to me and wonderful author, Stacey Lynn, crafted a fantastic football romance in Risky Game. The story follows Logan, a brand new head coach for the Nashville Steel, parent to the insanely adorable Amelia (age 4) and Ruby, his players’ younger sister and sudden Nanny. Ruby was sweet without being naive, I love that about her! Logan is a older, settled man that has two priorities, Amelia and proving his spot at work with both management and fans. The story is balanced between the characters interactions (and growth), the footballing (sum total of his job). There’s a fantastic world set of the people and place connections and you can see the parties or whatever is going on as if you were there. I love Author Stacey Lynn’s writing style, even the spice was hot and perfect to the story. Risky Game is book 4 of the Nashville Steel series, however can be read as a standalone, like I did…I’ll be going back to read the first 3 to get the complete picture. Story 5/5 Spice 5/5

Fielder's Choice C.R. Riley

...She did it again to this non-sports loving gal! I kinda want to become a baseball fan if all ballplayers are like Reid! (I have a new book boyfriend!) (No spoilers) With the dynamic relationship, evolving from friendship as young children to young adults and before a twist, returned as adults...with complications. I fell in love with Reid and Brealynn, the dynamic, the shared affections but the differences in personalities and backgrounds kept me tied to the kindle in my hands. There were moments were I felt like throttling both of our dynamic duo, but I love the sense of riding the path right with them. The spice, slow burn to explosive was amazing, but, I'm all in for the story of Reid and Brealynn and the stories surrounding them.

Deal with the Devil Astoria Royals #4 Deborah Garland

This mafia dark romance is sublime. I love the interactions, especially the (MMC) Lachlan’s love at first sight/ he falls first view of Katya…in one of the most stunning, movie-imaginative scenes I’ve read in a while. The writing style is smooth, interesting and lush. Bravo on that one! I loved the ability the mains had to intuitively understand each other, in and outside the bedroom. Lachlan and Katya have this beautifully immersive relationship, and the effects of both story and other people drove this wonderful, shouldn’t miss mafia dark romance!

Odd Man Rush : FFM 2nd book in the East Cast Series Kristen Granata (Author Agency)

Kristen Granata's Odd Man Rush was fantastic. The dynamics between the main characters since they were teenagers was a treat Ms. Granata moved them fluidly through the years without loosing the core base of the characters, but allowing them to still change and grow. I loved the choices presented, the way the decisions moved the story and kept me glued to the book. The spice is fantastic, the HEA was brilliantly crafted. She did show some of the struggles for the LGBTQ+ community. I don't do spoilers, but I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND this, don't miss out on this unique hockey romance.

The Ice Kiss L.Steele

I loved the interaction between Rick, the new team captain and Giogina (Gio), the new team publicist. Both of them have to prove themselves to the origination. the spice was delicious and the witty story kept me fascinated. Gio is a riot with her take no bull attitude and has a very dynamic background. One of my favorite quotes of the book was Gio claiming that Rick has “CRDF, Chronic Resting Di$# Face” There’s a twist that make you gasp and have to read it again. Spice 5 Story 5 Must Read

I found the characters right on, however, wish more thoroughly physicality described at the start of the story. The spice was sweeter than hardcore, 4/5.

The Prism Society Gabi Salas

When I first registered to take this ARC, I had no idea how much I would love where this would go Emma and her college best friend, Jessie have plans, vert specific plans, not expecting Liam and Dom to make the well laid plans become a memory.I don’t do spoilers and there is too much of what is the story wrapped up in the Prism Society, I did love the flow of the book, the characters and everything about this.

Shattered Secrets Lilian Harris

Shattered Secrets will delight you, break you and twist you before it drops you breathless, back into reality. I couldn’t put this down, you felt Hadleigh’s fight for her love with Hudson, even after all hell breaks loose. I want to have her kick arse spirt and ability. She’s fierce but gracious and loving. I REALLY don’t like spoilers, but I found Hudson’s foster brother, Brooks to be creepy. Just from the beginning. Where Hadleigh and Holden’s story goes was amazing. I never saw it coming and couldn’t delight in the turns it took more. This is a must read Spice 5/5 Story 5/5 (This is out wayyyy late because of the Great Ouch, I am so sorry)

The Shadow and The Draw R.D. Baker

The first installment of the Shadow Drawn Series is not to be missed. This friends to lovers, good vs evil, fantasy novel is in a class of its' own. This book leads you on a twisted and turning, secret packed exploration of Cora's fated engagement the Demon Alpha Finn, even though her heart belongs with the Alpha's Draw, Amyrn. This has Angels, demons, a ass kicking FMC (seriously, if you need that stare in the mirror confidence boost, channel her),located mainly on Earth, it's unique, and the cliffhanger ending was AMAZING. THIS IS A DO NOT MISS. Over 21 only, did I mention HIGH SPICE, ACTION, and QUALITY SMUT with an ACTUAL STORY. Brava, R.D. Baker by the by, check out her TikTok channel, she's hysterical.

Waiting in the Wings EA Buckingham young

Ben and Eve have a delightful, distracting and somewhat dangerous road to a HEA . No Spoilers . The wit, creativity and humor Buckingham Young folds in with Ben and Eve is simply perfect. I ADORED the “unveiling” of the murderer at the Broadway show Eve was in. There are one liners I adore out of the many witty and devilish things Ben and Eve say to/about each other. The heat is a slow build explosion. Damn. This can be certainly read as a stand alone or as the 2nd book in the series. Read this one… Congratulations, EA Buckingham Young!

Seventeen Minutes By ElizaAnne

The companion to the Echoist, Seventeen Minutes gives a deeper look Addie and James experiences, told in their own voices. You can read as a standalone, but, I would not…that’s me. This novella strikes a brilliant balance between emotion, amazing SPICE and fantastic storytelling. I found that James and Addie had a beautiful journey, as James is both Addie’s therapist and husband. However, the solid foundation they build create a beautiful HEA…. There are STRONG trigger warnings same as in the Echoist, be aware. Amazing, ElizaAnne

Challenged Magic - Haven Price

Congratulations to Haven Price on a brilliant installment of the Vivian Foxworthy series. Honestly, I think I liked the second book better than the first. Vivian's character has grown and the book seemed fuller and richer than the first, and I loved the first. Set in the same world, Vivian and Quin are trying to change their future, but the various players are still causing havoc. Vivian still has the Tree duty and the supernatural hierarchy are still acting like sugar high toddlers. As I do not do spoilers, I will say that this book was funny, some character appearances were unexpected and I adore the clever banter between characters. Author Price's world is rich, the detail is complete (without being overdone), there are no perfect characters-i.e.: no Blue Fairy here. I'm always waiting to see what Vivian and her motley (and dynamic) crew do next. I'm really hoping for a book three. Five Stars, Stories Five Star, Spice

Sunshine and Shadow MR Becker

Daniel(Mr I cover my hands off/inner grumpy) security specialist and Maya,a dynamic, sex positive, spunky and snarky 911 operator that writes letters to prisoners, meet when Maya begins receiving letters that go too far. Maya's bestie's boyfriend is the partner of Daniel, who is at first dragged into moving Maya because she has been receiving terrifying stalker letters. Things escalate and they are forced together (becoming a forced proximity) yet, can they figure out what is actually happening before it goes horribly wrong? With the perfect blend of some really nice spice, grumpy and sunshine, forced proximity in a small town romance where he falls first will they both make it out of this together or kill each other? I really enjoyed the verbal sparring between Daniel and Maya, his family is insane,(so are their friends) but delightfully hysterical. Overall, I loved the flow of the book, it is a easy to read standalone, however, I felt like I needed a bit more explanation on the links between characters as we went in or maybe a list, because I had not read the other books. (I am not removing from my review from that as it's on me ;) ) I would highly recommend this, I found it to be a fantastic ride, the spice was great and the story was fantastic. Congratulations, M.R. Becker, a beautifully done!

Happy book birthday to The Golden Alpha! @EmilyNorth released her awesome new omegaverse is simply fantastic, with twists and turns, fantastic story, characters and amazing spun me with the rhythm of the book. I am begging for more. I have to have the next book after the possible HEA for some and the astounding twist. I loved the interplay, intelligent and witty between characters and the positions (and the reactions/interplay portrayed by the class system she created). The world was lush, I loved “running” in the forest. The spice is fantastic and perfect in the novel. ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจread this ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for the ARC read in exchange for my honest opinion

The Playmaker Josie Blake

I need to say that I’ve become a big fan of the series….but I adored this installment! 

For me, it was almost a dynamic reinterpretation of Beaty and the Beast, at least as far as they start off seeing each other. (Not in the physical sense, they are hot as so attracted to each other!) 

There was a trigger warning for me, (so, check fours;) ) 

It wasn’t a smooth sailing relationship and I love the connections, the way the relationship had its highs and lows.

Love ad lib -Evie Alexander


I don’t do anything close to spoilers) 

This book is adorable, funny and with that perfect Rom-Com element, it was a great light read. It reminded me a bit shadow ofJane Austen-Pride and Prejudice, yet, followed the tropes for a fun story. 

I usually read/ARC books with a much higher spice level, but, this is a very slow steam.2/5 The story is about a 4.5 

There was wonderful character and world building, I LOVED the •ancillary* characters more sometimes than the MC. For me, this was a wonderful treat!

Love Me Good- Lila Dawes

 A sweet read, following Ben and Kayleigh as they fall in love…with some large secrets to sort out. 

This is the 4th book in the Citrus Pines Series, however, they can be read as a standalone. 

I loved this book, I understood Kayleigh’s want to rebel against the expectations people have on you from your previous mannerisms and being afraid to take a leap to things you have yet to attempt. 

Ben throws everything to the wind, rolls the dice to meet the online girl of his dreams.

One PUCKED Up Pack - Author Sarah Blue

 One PUCKED Up Pack gives you that thrilling hockey game feel with a wide range of emotional highs and lows, as four different personalities navigate a dynamic life with the pull towards pack life, and each other.


This isn’t a “Oh there’s our sweet omega story” (hallma$rk movie style) where past…whatever is easily dealt with. This goes deeper, and tosses in current events into the characters lives. Sweet and easy resolutions need not apply.


I loved the characters, both 2 and one four legged, I felt the characters as they moved through the beautifully written world Author Sarah Blue put them into. (Kathy reminded me so much of my Mom).

 This has to be one of my top 10 reviewed books ever.

I was blown away from start to finish with this…everything. 

The story- Astounding 

The world-Astounding 

The characters-Astounding 


I couldn’t put it down. The spice is hot ๐Ÿฅต ๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️๐ŸŒถ️ but does not overpower the plot or progression of the book. 


One of my many favorite scenes between Chase and Juliet was the “Listen and breathe” lesson. 

When you read the book, you will understand everything I love about this book….including the spice after that scene. 


Congratulations Amanda Richardson. 

I am really looking forward to book 2

Ruthless Crown Amanda Richardson

 A interesting start to a series, I can’t wait to get my hands on the next. The SPICE level is VERY HIGH and the story is very fast paced, there are some characters that left me a bit..off with the positioning in the story. That’s probably just me. I do recommend this for a high spice story.

I felt that her friends and mother/stepfather where so ancillary to the story it was kinda strange for me.

UNDENIABLE C.R. RILEY

 



Undeniable C.R. Riley This last installment in the Kohl Family series was a wild ride around the world, high spice level, intrigue and the twists you expect from the Kohl Family and Riley’s world building. Alina Prescott and Patrick Kohl have a dynamic and unbelievably passionate relationship and the sheer thrill of riding the roller coaster from page one kept me breathless. Breathless and delighted, I actually laughed and cried waiting to see if they would receive a well deserved happily ever after. The Kohl Family series can be read alone, however, I STRONGLY suggest you start with Untouchable. C.R. Riley created a beautiful world and family with the Kohl Family, the series is a must read, especially UNDENIABLE.

Leah Toole’s The Saddest Princess

 Imaginative and stunning, well researched novel that lets you live the life of Queen Mary the First as that invisible observer that it should. Historical fiction is not meant to be a textbook, Leah Toole does an ASTONISHING job weaving the historic fact and the fiction you want to slide into to escape your reality and into a very different time. 


Queen Mary’s life was shaped by her experiences and influences, and the different shifts and tides in religion with Henry’s court. Her mother left her with staunch, deep Catholicism of her family, her father made her a both a pawn for England and his mercurial emotions.

This never deviated for Mary’s life, long after her parents were gone, her life was still was ruled but advisors, fate and religion. 


History readers and the history curious, grab a copy and see the full ,robust story of the children and reign of Henry the 8. 


Tudor fans, this should be on your NOW READING, get a treat and your imagination whisk you in Leah Toole’s immersive and richly developed world of Queen Mary the First 


Long live Queen Mary

Corrupted Kingdom A.L. Maruga


 A.L. Maruga releases Corrupted Kingdom, one of the most jaw dropping reverse harem, dark romance books I have ever had the disturbing pleasure of reading. From Casbury Prep to hell and back, she wove a tale of revenge, twisted romance, smut (oh that poor kitchen table) and haunting tragedy into one of the books you will think about again and again for weeks. 

I STRONGLY recommend that you READ Casbury Prep as a series. 

This is DARK- *Check your trigger warnings*

This has some SEVERELY DISTURBED moments-Bring your blanket

This book is SMUTTY-You may want a “friend” (Readers Choice on what I mean)

Finally, BRING YOUR AGE and TRIGGER ALLOWANCES- This is for +18 and deals with some dark elements

If forced to choose, but if Rachel doesn’t have to, why should we?

I love the look at the little glimpses of life for the Price family and the background peek at something’s alluded to…but not written before. 

Huh, I wonder what kind of ice cream would be chosen for me? 


And as ever with the Prices’, Ms Rath hits that perfect balance of story, character and HOT ๐Ÿฅต PUCKIN SPICE

That One Night Emily Rath (prequel for PUCKIN AROUND)

 Quick, sweet and so.Oh.my.wooly.barracuda ๐Ÿฅต I’m immediately starting book 1


This is a quick, hot read that is NSFP (Not Safe for Public) Do NOT be running, walking, sitting or anywhere where someone can see you make a spectacle of yourself when you trip over your feet, walk into a door, make that little noise that you think that no one else heard. 


I should almost mark that as a spoiler. 


Damn.

Puckin Around Emily Rath

(This book is definitely over 18. From Seattle to Canada, this book was recommended to me by a fellow booktok fan. I’m recommending that you read the short and SUPER ๐Ÿฅต novella first.) 

With that said, Emily Rath introduced me to both hockey and alternative relationships. This book is fast burn that I don’t think I can ever forget, because ๐Ÿฅต ๐Ÿฅต it is so amazing.

However, it goes far beyond the heat and builds deep characters with relationships, that in reality, affect the Main Characters. 

I am being so careful to not give much away…and I’d love to sit here and have the book read to us with the right voices.

I must have looked INSANE because my husband could see from my expressions if the team was playing or if he was going to be very thankful to the author๐Ÿ˜…

In all, I love this series, and I have a new author to follow (because this is some beautiful brain work!) 

Thank you for sharing the awesomeness, Emily Rath!

Distraction Michele Lenard

 Distraction is the book where you kinda wonder for a moment if you aren’t Belle (Cora) in her small provincial (Colorado mountain) town…and you even get to met ..well, Cade is not Gaston. 

He is however, the town’s playboy and Cora is there to work on her thesis. 

I don’t do spoilers but it is a so much more than a summer fling, you’ll love finding out about the bar game…it was that snorting kind of laugh (I never do that) 

Enjoy Cora and Cade, the town of Katah Vista and I’m sure you’ll be grabbing the next book to get back again!

 RELEASES MAY 2nd 

How do you stay away from your best friend’s sister? Easy. Hookup with every willing woman that passes through town. Okay, technically Cade is my cousin, and Tiff isn’t his actual sister, just a family friend that he thinks of as a sibling. That doesn’t change the fact that she’s strictly off limits. And it’s not just Cade who would castrate me if I crossed a line. It’s the entire town, who still sees her as the adorable little girl they watched grow up instead of the sweet and sassy knockout she’s become. I’m fairly certain I’m the only person who sees the real Tiff, but no one thinks I deserve her, including me. Besides, I wouldn’t betray my cousin like that. Famous last words I suppose, considering an untimely snowstorm traps us in the same small cabin, making me wonder if there’s any harm in making a tiny little exception?

The Heart of Thieves

๐Ÿ’‹My REVIEW๐Ÿ’‹
With any new writers work, you always wonder how it will be from the download. 
Penn Wilder crafts the perfect balance of mystery, slowly(ish) to explosive ๐Ÿงจ burn in The Heart of Thieves. 
The author combines two very different personalities and ages in the suspense turns edge of your seat ride with the cop and white hat hacker…the link between them? 
The disappearance of a loved one while women’s bodies are random rivers, with a small tattoo right beneath the fingernail. 

Follow this amazing, staggering and spicy ๐ŸŒถ️ ride to the conclusion…making you WANT Wilder to make this into a series.

Beautiful Lies Paula Dombrowiak

 I was so ******* floored by this book that I did a tic Toc telling her so (Kate_reads_everything). 

THIS IS A MUST READ

I finished this book early this morning and was a joyous wreck the rest of the day mulling it over. Paula takes you into the mind and story of two people who have that instant eyesight connection, but, she can find so many reasons why this reverse relationship should not happen.  I found the characters great, I loved the depth she went into building each of the characters to make them seem like people you care about.  I felt like I was watching this play out, I was not in my living room, dr’s office or reading when I should be sleeping. It’s just that damn good.  I never saw the twist coming. Nope. 


 “A: Even if I was outside your house?”  


Thank you for allowing me to read this ARC in response to my fair and honest review 

 book release April 17 at all major book retailers   Thank you for letting me read the arc in exchange for my fair and honest review.

Baby Bumpers

 Oh wow!This book was adorable and steamy, best friends to lovers, again and and again until it stopped. I am NOT going to give away spoilers, but think, small town, single parent AND check trigger warnings. 

I loved the characters in this book, including the “villain” but, was expecting others to show up. (Once you read it you’ll know what I mean). I was also never quite clear what her position at the job was, did she go for an Associates or Bacelors degree, I could have been me. (This is a insane thing to notice)


I did love the relationship between between the two MC. 


The book did discuss preconceived notions that are instantaneous, the fear of judgement and the actions of family, in this situation or not.  


I loved this book, read it overnight and just love it! BRAVA, Ms.Riley, I think this this one is a sweet one.
