Book Review: Comin' in Hot

Image
  Trope: -Why choose -Reverse Age Gap -Forced Proximity -Spicy Lessons -Text Banter My life was perfect. Perfect husband. Perfect house. Perfect marriage. I was a Nancy Meyers mood board. But you know how the saying goes… “Everything perfect ends with your husband banging his assistant.” Life wasn’t supposed to be like this. Male patterned sluttiness wasn’t in our vows. But here I sit, with barely dry divorce papers, flying first class to the Bliss Babes Retreat—a women-only escape in Malibu run by my sister, Moonbeam. She promises it’ll help me reset, get grounded, and figure out what I actually want out of life. I’ll give you one guess…it’s not yoga. But I figure at the very least I’ll get a margarita and some sunshine. And I could use a pocketful. But then somewhere between the ocean breeze and a very steamy outdoor shower incident what flashes before my eyes isn’t my reconciled past… It’s better. Three devastatingly gorgeous twenty-eight-year-olds with sun-warmed skin, tattoos ...

Audiobook Review: Reclaim Me

Image
  RECLAIM ME Zara I never asked for his name. And I certainly didn’t tell him mine. It was supposed to be simple—Ten stolen nights of sex and sangria. No strings attached. Except I came home with a plus one… in my stomach. Worse? Turns out my American fling is the ruthless billionaire trying to bulldoze a casino through my family’s empire. The one who just hired me—unknowingly—to design it. When he sees my bump, he doesn’t flinch. No. He stakes his claim. My brothers will kill him. I swore I’d do it alone. But the chemistry that wrecked me once is ready to ruin me all over again. I have to choose between my old family… Or my new one. Because he's determined to reclaim me... Cole She was supposed to be a fling— Not my future. But when Zara Beckett struts into my office with my child in her stomach, I will burn the world down to build a life with her.

Book Review: Cry Baby

Image
  Cry Baby I was raised on a leash. Not metaphorically or poetically… An actual fucking collar around my throat, bolted to the concrete beside Mistress’s bed. I learned early on that obedience tasted better than starvation and blood could be washed away, where broken bones couldn’t be. At night I was freed from my chains… sent as her prized dog to hunt for her next bitch. My job was Find them, break them, sell them. Until him… He thought he was hunting a monster. He didn’t realize I was leading him straight into my cage. My Review Holden aka Cry Baby started out as a pawn in Natalie aka Mistress's game but five years later, Holden is calling shots. During a time when he was just a "pup", he met Hollis. Despite the years that have passed, Holden still hates Hollis. He is going to make him see that he is no longer the "naive" young man that he was before drinking Shirley Temples. If you have never read a S.K. book, you are missing out. Yet, the author is not for t...

Audiobook Review: The Keepers

Image
  🖤 Dark fantasy romance 🪢 Morally grey characters 🖤 Gods and ancient powers 🪢 Powerful heroine 🖤 Female gaze 🪢 Found family 🖤 Political intrigue 🪢 Forbidden power 🖤 Betrayal and loyalty 🪢 Fate vs free will 🖤 Gothic atmosphere 🪢 Emotionally damaged characters She wakes bound on the back of a horse. The gods are gone. And the world is no longer gentle. Tsunala is carried through a land that no longer remembers mercy—guarded by monsters, watched by a half-breed who should be her enemy, and pulled toward truths she is not ready to name. Power lingers beneath her skin, unclaimed and dangerous. As desire stirs where fear should live, something ancient begins to breathe again. The gods, long silent, are waking—not as legends, but as beings who can bleed, ache, and love. This is a story about what happens when divinity remembers its humanity. And what it means to belong to a world that no longer believes in you. For readers drawn to dark romantasy rooted in character, devotion...

Book Review: Sealed with a Kiss

Image
  After her treasured locket goes missing, Olivia is surprised when it turns up again at her favorite spot on the beach with a mysterious note attached. She decides to write back to thank this unknown good Samaritan and soon finds herself obsessing over the mysterious correspondence. Stevie has had their eye on the beautiful girl at the beach for some time now, so when the opportunity arises to help her, they take it. As Stevie’s feelings grow, they realize that there’s a part of them they must share at the risk of driving Olivia away just when they’ve gotten close. Sierra Luna is a shared world series set in a coastal town in Oregon. The stories are as weird as the authors who write them My Review This is a sweet and charming read. I thought it was adorable the concept that Stevie and Sierra communicated via handwritten letters as Stevie was too shy to approach Sierra right away. He even signed the letters as "S". If not for his best friend, these two would still be writing ...
