3.25 stars 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:opposites attract • golden retriever X black cat mmc • enemies to lovers • sports romance • hockey • fake relationship• childhood crush • he falls first • workplace • plus size heroine  Dallas was everything you’d want from a MMC. I was a little annoyed by hemi being so hung up on high school things though. I just couldn’t believe she let it hold her back for a full decade. However, their banter/chemistry was really great what made this a good read for me in the end. The prom part in the end was really cheesy but also absolutely adorable!  Overall, an easy and fun read. I…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:reverse harem • dark romance • cruel hero • virgin heroine • enemies to lovers • age gap • Greek mythology  TW: abuse • graphic violence • slut shaming• dubious consent • misogyny • animal abuse• self harm • non-consent  ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ Your mental health matters. If any of these topics are sensitive to you, please proceed with caution or skip this one ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I think authors are going too far when writing dark romances. Abusive relationships— or any nonconsensual sexual act— is NOT erotic, let alone romantic!  I think when you have a sort of influence over someone, as writers have over their readers, you gotta use it positively. Normalize rape,…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:online dating • TV show • fake relationship • friends to lovers  This was one amazing audio production. And the story was truly adorable and so much fun to listen to.   All the narrators were terrific performers and I truly believed they embodied the characters. Another unique element that I thought enhanced this audiobook production was the use of background noises throughout – the sounds of phones ringing, traffic, people talking on the background and so more made for an almost cinematic experience. I think fans of Cara Bastone will loved this. But if you have never experienced Audible Original titles before this is a great start. Thank you Libro.fm for…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:friends to lovers • sports romance • hockey • miscommunication • ex boyfriend’s best friend • women in STEM • forced proximity • reformed rake I love a good friends to lovers love story but this one fell flat for me. The miscommunication around their feelings for each other went on for too long. There is also a lot of filler inner monologue. The writing style was more telling their feelings than showing. This book felt longer than necessary to me. Am I going to read Alexei and Georgia’s book? Absolutely, maybe there will be some actual tension there. Hoping for better next time. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:enemies to lovers • monsters • grumpy X sunshine • brooding hero • magic • Scottish accent  Okay, this book has an interesting premise, it definitely has potential but I think it was too long for the plot. I was bored. The smut was also cringey and not sexy. The characters were just bland. I want to love this author but I’m starting to think that Lana Ferguson is not an author for me. Thank you to Libro.fm for for providing me early access to Under Loch and Key in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Keyanna “Key” MacKay is used to secrets. Raised by a…

*Audiobook free on Kindle Unlimited* 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:age gap • grumpy X sunshine • roommates • found family • men in uniform  Not for me. I need some relationship build-up before all the sexual experiences between the main characters. Otherwise, it feels forced and contrived. Women do not get horny only by seeing a naked guy. Our body doesn’t work that way. I read only 12% of the book and the FMC is already acting like a cat in heat, full of hormones. DNF. *eye rolling* When Jamie Andrews moves in with a house full of firefighters, things start heating up fast. Battling the wilderness of rural Montana, these guys are always…

*Audiobook free on Kindle Unlimited* 𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:second chances • man in uniform • sports romance • ballet • miscommunication • slow burn  I felt that the MMC was way more invested in the relationship than the FMC. Allie got on my nerves a few times. She was rude and mean. I didn’t like how she treated Hudson. The story was also longer than necessary. I got bored. At some point I was just skimming through the pages only to get it over with.  Elite ballerina Allie Rousseau is no stranger to pressure. With her mother’s eyes always watching, perfection was expected, no matter the cost. But when an injury jeopardizes all…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:arranged marriage • virgin heroine • brothers’ best friend • rivals • CEO • possessive hero • sassy heroine  There was just no angst. The beginning started off strong but things sort of fell apart once the arrangement wedding happened. It was like all their rivalry was forgotten. All the issues seemed petty and foolish, everything felt contrived after that.  But I felt their chemistry. Overall,  the banter was great in the beginning. I had several moments of laughter. I just wish they didn’t get off the rails as much as they did. Things felt way too far fetched and easy after the arrangement marriage for me.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book…

𝒞𝑜𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉:enemies to lovers • witches & fae • fated mates • rejected mates • cliffhanger  Oh man was this book long! Lots of internal monologue, superfluous descriptions, and more narrative than dialogue. I honestly skimmed through a LOT of the story! But I enjoyed the storyline so I was able to finish. This book is truly just a fantasy thou, there is absolutely no romance here. If you’re looking for a spicy read this is not the one for you. However, I think fans of fantasy might enjoy this quite a bit. ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ The Mortal Fates Series ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ I devoted my life to a king who was not my own.…
