What Lies Beyond the Veil (Of Flesh & Bone #1) is a dark, fantasy romance.
Caelum and Estrella’s story was an intense journey. Estrella is a strong heroine battling her demons and Caelum is her equal in every way. Captivating storyline that was action packed and full of tension.
Ava Lucas did a great job bringing these characters to life.

Done is a small town, single parent romance.
This was my first read by Katie Rae and I am hooked! Jesse and Easton’s story drew me in and took my emotions for a ride. I fell in love with Easton and his charming personality. Great storyline with intense chemistry that brought on all the emotions.

The Wild One (Wrench Kings #1) is a reverse age gap, single parent romance.
Beau and Beck’s book was interesting to me. I was surprised by their obsession during intimacy. Definitely not something I’m used to reading, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. A good storyline with drama and lots of steamy moments.
Daisy Jane and Jason Clarke did a great job bringing these characters to life.

Play Call (Vegas Aces: The Coach #2) is enemies to lovers, sports romance.
This was the continuation of Lincoln and Jolene’s journey, and it began where Rivalry left off. The tension heated up as they navigate a messy situation. The drama and steam was good and entertaining. Need to know what happens next!
Samantha Brentmoor and Aaron Shedlock are doing an amazing job narrating this series.

Sugar Daddies is an erotic MMF/MM romance.
Carl, Rick and Katie were a powerhouse trio. Although I knew what I was getting into, I was not expecting the detailed scenes! To be honest, I almost DNF this read, but so glad I stuck with it. It turned out to be a really entertaining love story. I believe all 3 characters were great individually. I also enjoyed them coupled up and in the trio. Their chemistry was explosive and overall a good story.
Hannah Martin and Cornell Collins did a great job portraying these characters.

Hooked (Never After #1) is a dark, fairytale reimagining.
Peter and Wendy’s story was dark and twisted. I found the storyline was captivating and the plot was still captivating even if I had an idea where it was going. Their chemistry was intense and I enjoyed the book.
Felicity Munroe and Rupert Hawthorne did a really good job portraying these characters.

Rivalry (Vegas Aces: The Coach #1) is an enemies to lovers, sports romance.
Lincoln and Jolene’s sexual chemistry could be felt throughout the story. Their past is definitely not over or resolved as they are forced to work together. Tensions are high as they deal with family rivalry drama. This is just the beginning of what I’m sure is going to be a fun and wild romance. Excited for the next book.
Samantha Brentmoor and Aaron Sherlock did a superb job narrating this book and bringing Jolene and Lincoln to life.
