Phoenix Rising Review

This is a new to me author and I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not too big on MC books but this one was enjoyable.  The characters are fully fleshed out and appropriate in the biker world; which means gritty, sexy, and angsty.  Phoenix is a unique FMC, I had never read a book with a mute h. She’s an intriguing character with a strong backstory. I loved her. The writing style is great but at times…

Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I’ve only ever walked in stolen shoes.  Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless…

In Silence She Screams by Amo Jones Review

I NEED A MINUTE. I SWEAR TO GOD, I’M NOT EXAGGERATING, I COULDN’T BREATHE DURING THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS. TW- Forced hysterectomy, sexual assault. I literally have no idea where to start with this book. I loved every second of it and oh god hated some moments too mostly because they really broke me. Let’s start with the characters since they are now my favorite from the MM world(AFTER KOHEN THO,…

Book Tour for Our Moon Festival

#QOTD- Your last 5 star read? “Our Moon Festival” is a illustrated children’s book that depicts how the Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese people celebrate the Moon Festival in three different stories. It’s written in a manner than it combines all the real traditions and tells it in a whimsical manner. The book is a wholesome and enlightening experience. As an Asian, I was aware of the festival but…

Boucher House

What a ride this duet has been! I’m so in love with the world and am not ready to say goodbye. The finale is heartbreaking but so worth it. The narration and build-up is overwhelmingly perfect. The characters have been through such a journey and I’m glad I got to be a part of it.  Pres is such a diverse and strong character. She was amazing in the first book but in this, we get to see her finally…

Lesson In Sin

I have read Dark Notes by this author. That’s my favorite of that genre, OF ALL TIMES. I hadn’t read anything like that. Now I realize only Pam can knock that book down a notch. This book is even more dirty and sexy than Dark Notes. Like, I have read many smutty books. Hell, I have read Sade too but this book made me gasp at every scene and I love that.  Tinsley is amazing. I love how Pam creates…

REVIEW FOR STRICT CONFIDENCE

After the first book, this book knocked me out. Like, I knew this is a trilogy. I knew there will be another cliffhanger. Did it make it less affective? NOPES. I am still frustrated all the same.  This book is a retelling of Jane Eyre, but in  dark romance genre. So you can expect it to be gritty, smutty and more suspenseful. The tone of the series was haunting right from the beginning and it…

Broken Butterfly

The finale to Elizabeth’s story and what an ending! I’m so happy with it but at the same time it’s bittersweet. You won’t see the end coming. The writing, narration, portrayal of the characters turmoils, everything was perfect. My heart broke and healed again. All loose ends were tied up but there were many surprises. I’m honestly happy with the ending but I wasn’t expecting that at all. Also I’m…

Bad Blood Review

If you like the forced marriage and mafia romance trope then this is perfect for you. It goes with the enemies to lovers trope too!  Thalia, our FMC, is strong but has a heart of gold. She’s protective of her sister and will do anything to keep her safe. But while doing that, she walked right into Carrera territory. The Santiago and the Carrera are enemies from ages.  There’s attraction between…

Calan's Atlas by K Webster

Calan’s Atlas by K Webster

What a wild ride it was! Meet Atlas, the new cop in Briggs Ferry. He’s gay and Brigs Ferry has some serious anti-gay people. Now there’s poor little Calan, who’s suffered enough but the trouble isn’t done with him yet. He’s targeted for his sexuality again and again. So what happens when these two meet? A lot of romance, heartache and a love so sweet it hurts my heart.  You can always trust K to…

Acts of Grace Review

I tried to be a good little girl and hold the review til the release day, I really did but I can’t. I finished it yesterday and need to get it out of my system.  I loved it. Those who like contemporary age-gaps with a bit of steam, you would love this. The characters are everything but damn I really wanted to headbutt William and Titus quite a lot of times, Ash would approve I think and so would…

Malefica by Audrianna Hoover

It starts with a captive princess and ends with a Queen. I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this book and went in blind. The cover and blurb pulled me in and oh God what a ride it was. It starts with Arielle (our FMC) being finally let out of her tower where she was kept captive by her own father no less. My blood was boiling on her behalf. From there we get to witness her journey and…

Private Property by Skye Warren

Happy Release Day! #QOTD- what are some things/traits that annoy you in books or the characters? Ok so I have a lot of things to scream about this one, buckle up. Warren, you really fucked my head with Rochester. I wanted to murder Roch(yes that’s what I’m calling him) but was so intrigued by him too. Jane would totally HiFi to that!  It’s angsty as hell. From the very beginning, there’s so many…

Review of Stay Baby Stay by Margot Scott

Where are all my age-gap lovers at? This book was everything. It involves a lot of my favorite tropes- older guy/younger women, DDLG(yes, actual DDLG), found family! Swipe to see the edits I made for it! Images aren’t mine but the edits are. It can be read as a stand-alone too. TW- Firstly I would like to mention that the book contains topics like sex trafficking, abuse and murders, so if these…
