Oh man, the drama! This book is about Phoenix and I’m so excited about it. This is a short prequel but my goodness SO much happened and it’s blowing my mind lol.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
WOW WHAT A RIDE! The angst tortures me but I CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT! So many twists and turns I didn’t know what to expect but it had me turning the pages because I needed more! It’s a thick book but it didn’t feel long at all. It’s THAT good! I can’t wait for the other books because I already know this series is going to have a choke hold on me. This book had it all!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love the buckeye falls series so much! I’ve loved every book so far so I just knew I’d love this one! And honestly, I think this one is my absolute favorite so far! Everyone has marital issues sometimes so this second chance romance book, felt personal. I could really relate to this! And I love the characters with my whole heart! I feel like we’re friends and I love when a book can captivate me like that. Highly recommend! The books in this series are standalone but I do highly encourage you to read them all. They’re all so good!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this fast paced intense thriller! Was incredibly written and I LOVE when a book has me turning the pages to find out what happens next! I needed answers which kept me on my toes and interested the entire time! I connected with the characters and I simply couldn’t put this down.
Ways to Improve Bailey by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My first book by Cori Cooper and I was not disappointed! I definitely judged the book by its cover because I was like HOW CUTE when I seen this one and I thought the story was cute as well! I love a good laugh when I’m reading and it gave me that! Loved tanner too! A bit slow in some of this book but all around I enjoyed it
Underneath The Whiskey by Chelsea Lauren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow this book was a rollercoaster ride! So many unexpected situations happened and I was constantly saying “WTF” out loud! Incredible book though! Characters are phenomenal and the story…that whole story was so DEEP. The feelings this book pulled out of me..I can’t even describe. There’s a lot of DARK topics in this book so it may be triggering to some..but I enjoyed this book even during the “WTF” moments.
The Passion of 3 by Ariella Talix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was so well written and I highly enjoyed it! Amazing characters and phenomenal character development! There’s humor and there’s spice and I loved every single page. Its a steamy MMF and I finished this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Every time I did, I’d end up picking it right back up. Highly recommend!
Brutal Days: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve been waiting for this book! The entire series is easily in my top 5 favorite series and I couldn’t wait for more! The first 2 books were about Cole and this book is about his younger brother Damon! The drama, the angst…I CANT GET ENOUGH. I love how Skylar doesn’t give a shit and she keeps her head held high. She doesn’t back down from the “Elite” even if others do. She’s her own person and she stands her ground, regardless what others think. The Hidden Valley Elite is just all around AMAZING and if you haven’t read them, please do! Each book has a cliffhanger and it makes you CRAVE more. I love when books have me invested in them and I can’t think of anything else. READ THIS BOOK!
Breathless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read the first book of the series, not the second for some reason but I loved the first book so I knew I’d love this one! I have to go and read the second book ASAP! They’re standalones! Rockstar/musician romances are one of my favorites so this book definitely didn’t disappoint. Hank and Ella Mae are the best and I can’t get enough of them. You think it being a musician romance that it’ll be full of red flags and toxicity but it’s the total opposite of that! So so good. Highly suggest.
Someone to Watch Over Me by Debbie Cromack
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Slow burns make me so anxious but I love it at the same time lol. This was such a beautiful read! I LOVE ANGELO SO MUCH! Best friend to lovers trope is easily becoming one of my favorites so I knew I was going to fall in love with this story! Characters are phenomenal and I loved every page. The tension and the angst is so worth it in the end and I highly recommend this standalone! I became so emotionally invested, I never wanted the book to stop! Simply loved it.
Fireflies by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book! Full of erotica and I love a good MMF read! There’s a lot of descriptive sex but I truly did love the whole story. It was full of emotion and drama and I quickly finished this book because I couldn’t put it down. First book I’ve read by this author and I wasn’t disappointed. Also, don’t let the cover fool you…you may think it’s a cute little read…WRONG. It’s so spicy and the complete opposite of cute. It’s filthy and I’m SO here for it. 🥵
Sleeping Love by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
New author for me and I wasn’t disappointed! I love a good friends to lover book. Book was full of twists and i loved the characters! Great retelling of sleeping beauty and I loved every single page! I’ll be reading more books by Natalina! Beautiful read and I highly recommend!
Punk by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m already captivated by this book and that’s just from reading chapter 1. So if that doesn’t convince you to read this, i don’t know what will. I knew I was going to be obsessed because every other book in this series I’ve LOVED so much. Please read the other books in this series before reading this one, you won’t be disappointed. Okay back to finish the book and I’ll be back to let you know my thoughts…okay I’m back and I only read the second chapter 👀 lmao. I didn’t expect that twist but wow, I’m in for a ride! Okay back to reading. But I’m going to tell you to read this just based off the first 2 chapters! I’m already invested! I LOVE EFREM! That man has a way with words and you can’t help but feel weak in the knees. If you want a book full of drama, angst, SPICE 🥵..this book is for you. Amazing characters, great plot, sex scenes are *chefs kiss* 💋 Leslie Georgeson is easily one of my favorite authors. Every book I’ve read by her, I’ve loved.
Stay For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love love love second chance romances! I love reading how people can forgive even if they can’t forget. Knowing that just because something didn’t work out the first time doesn’t mean it can’t work out again years later. I love this series so I knew I was going to love this read. I loved the characters and I love this authors writing! Her words just suck me in and I’m only focused on this story! If you’re looking for a rollercoaster ride full of emotions, check this book out! I suggest reading the other books that come before this one!
Fiddle and Fire: A Steamy Historical MMF Romance by Ariella Talix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is my first historical romance and I enjoyed it. The suspense, the drama, the steam…loved it all. I like a good fast paced book every now and then so if you do too, read this. MMF is one of my favorite things to read so that had my attention from the start. I plan on reading the first book to this series! Glad I gave this book a shot. For mature readers!
Euphoric Wonderland: An Eclectic Collection of Psychedelic Poetry to Stimulate the Senses and Open the Mind by Ryan M. Becker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a different type of book from what I usually read but I honestly loved every page. Grabbed my attention from the start and I absolutely LOVED that it rhymes. It’s like poetry and it’s calming to me. I’m glad i took a chance at this! Super quick and different read!

Unexpected Entanglement by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love when books intertwine with other books! It gets me in my feels! A fake relationship trope is another favorite of mine and I love the drama and angst it brings while reading it. Makes the HEA that much better. Huge page turner for me and the entire thing was great! I couldn’t put it down. I read this book in one sitting so if that doesn’t tell you that it’s good, idk what will lol. Check this series out! You won’t regret it.
The Innovator by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely love this series! And I LOVE Natalie & Grayson together ♥️ spicy romance books are my favorite and this book did it for me! I loved every page. Enemies to lovers is my favorite trope! Something about the drama and the angst, just grabs my attention! Also having characters from the other books in this, makes it that much better too! And when you have the drama, suspense, action in a romance book..I become obsessed. I love feeling all the emotions! I love spice as much as the next person but a great storyline is what does it for me. Read this series! You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for more!
Cabin Eight by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Super quick read! Not one of my favorite reads but I was intrigued. Good characters and the storyline was decent! Miranda has many regrets that she’s trying to work through! It had my attention enough to want to finish so that’s a plus. If you want to read a thriller where the female character has great growth and refuses to give up, read this. This is the third book of the series!
Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
my gosh I love every one of these books in this series. Cole & Riley are so hot together. They continue fighting their connection in this book but it’s seriously chefs kiss 💋 some of the topics can be a little dark but it works well with the romance and spice in this book. Cole sure can put on a show for others when really he means the opposite. He loves Riley and he learns a lot more about her in this book just as Riley learns a lot about Cole. It’s nice not having to read about the bully girls in HS in this book too! They were terrible in the last book. But i thoroughly enjoyed these books though and I highly suggest you check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Only thing I’m disappointed about is that the book ended when I just want to read about them forever lol.
I’ll Love You Tomorrow by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you love a second chance romance, read this. Mitch & Lauren were happily in love but some hardships got in the way. They’re married but will they stay married? Mitch has his doubts & Lauren doesn’t see what she’s doing wrong at first. Characters are all great and I’ve loved this series but this book made me feel everything. Made me feel happy, sad, angry, hopeful! They both have made terrible mistakes and keep wanting to point the finger at one another. It’s a HEA but the road getting there, is a bit rough. Great writing and great story though. Shows that all marriages aren’t perfect and we all go through things. Shows second chances are possible and people can change. Shows that nothing is impossible and things can work out if you fight for it.
The Sweet Temptations Trilogy by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Holy hell 🥵 the spice level of this book is off the charts. This read is definitely for adult/mature audiences. There’s a whole lot of sex and I’m here for it! I love the vivid descriptions and the dialogue was great! Alice is a freak lol I love it. If you want a hot and spicy read..read this. Would be a good idea to have your partner or your B.O.B nearby. YOULL NEED TO LET OFF SOME STEAM, during and after you read this book. I promise you lol.
Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh this was such a sweet story! Abby and Nate have been best friends since they were children. Always there for one another. And now that they’re getting older…will they be there for one another in a way that’s MORE than what they’re used too? This is one of those books that just grabbed my attention from the very start and the characters are amazing! If you love a good best friends to lovers, one night stand, second chances book, read this! I LOOOOOVE Nate so much. How he’s always there for Abby just melts my heart. There’s a lot of humor in this book too and those parts absolutely killed me 🤣🤣 and as much as I loved this book it also irked my soul. Still makes it a good book though in my opinion. I want to feel all the emotions when I’m reading. Highly suggest this!
Right in Front of You Vol. 1 Brinley and Adrian by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely adore this book! I love when I get so lost in a book that I don’t realize how much I’ve actually read. I didn’t check the page number one time till I finished it…that’s how much it caught my attention. Brinley and Adrian are absolutely adorable. Adrian is having trouble finding the “one” so when Brinley catches his eye…he’s instantly drawn to her. Adrian wants a woman that understands his life and Brinley is THAT woman. They have a lot on common. And I love a good spicy read as well! And this book had plenty of it. There’s a little bit of suspense and drama and it was a good add to this! I really enjoyed this! I can’t wait for the next book to read about Lilly ♥️
Insomnia by Kelly Covic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love a good creepy story! And this has a few short stories! This had me creeped out, on my toes, gave me goosebumps and legit creeped me out. Not sure why I chose to read this at midnight, while laying in the dark but 🤷🏽♀️ let’s just say it adds to the dramatic affect. The story about the attic creeped me out especially because my bedroom has the attic door in it, and the entire time I’m just imaging the door opening on its own. I love a good horror book and these stories did it for me! It scared me and that’s what I wanted. Real impressed! The writing, the descriptions…spectacular. I’ll be reading these again when it’s spooky season 👻
Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! I read the short prequel to this and I’ve been waiting to read this one and I never wanted it to end. Cole is 🥵 and I LOVE Riley. The push and pull/cat and mouse game they’re playing with each other, has me on edge. It’s a good thing though because I love the angst! They “hate” each other for many reasons but they can’t deny the physical attraction they have for one another. Cole has family problems and so does Riley. Can Cole get over how he’s feeling? Can Riley? If you want a book with drama and angst, read this! If you want a GREAT enemies to lovers book…READ. THIS. I promise you, you won’t regret it. This is such a great read I’ll definitely be re reading it in the near future. It’s one of my favorites! And I need more! It can’t end like that! 😭 I know this series is going to be 8 books…and knowing I have to wait till the end of the year to know how it ends is going to be torture!
Braving Lily by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love rockstar romances! They’re one of my favorites! I instantly knew I was going to love this book and I’m SO glad I read it. Also it’s my first rockstar romance I’ve read where the rockstar is female. I LOVED IT!!!!! Amazing characters and I just all around loved the story. Can be read as a standalone so I’ve only read this book in the series. I’ll definitely be checking out the others! If you want a book with angst, second chances, opposites attract type of romance book, this is for you!
