This is the Spiciest Book in The Connovan Chronicles. Nate is the CEO of the Connovan Empire Stays in London and best friend of Dean. Harper is the Ex-Fiance of Dean who calls off her wedding due to some stressful reasons. She moved from New York to London. There she meets Nate. Nate suggests Harper move into his house. Then they become roommates. Slowly they start exploring together. Then they agreed to Friends With Benefits (IYKYK). Will they accept their love? Will Dean find this affair? Why is marriage called off? What will happen next?
I love the FMC character development and how she leads her life, how she overcomes her issues,  how she stands for herself.
Nate's character is well written, his secret obsession and how much pain he bears all these years are beautifully described.
I hate Dean's calculating behavior and how he manipulates someone's life according to his calculating mindset.
The conversation between Nate and his dad is felt naturally.
I love the moments between the Connovan Siblings. Alec, Connie, and their partners love the family saga.
This book has spicy scenes and you must be mature to read them.
If You love the Billionaire Romance, Roommates to Lovers, Age Gap (10 Years), ONE BED try this one.
Good Conclusion to The Connovon Chronicles trilogy.
Thank You Olivia Hayle and her team for sending me this ARC.

Back to the Never Harbour Era.. A good read. This is the second book in the Never Harbour Series. Cassidy and Marina are cute. The book is good.  And seriously they love to gossip.  But something I felt was incomplete. I miss the charm and character development. I really love Off the Hook but something is missing in this book.  
Thank You Penpal PR for sending me this ARC copy of this book.

A 4-star read for me ... This is a second-chance romance book and book 4 in The Prestons series...
OMG, Second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes but I want happy endings...Every time I choose these types of books, there is a storm inside my heart. In this book also I felt I am emotionally connected with this book. Nate and Amy stole my heart. Amy chooses her family over her love. After 6 years  Nate returned as a captain and he found that she was unmarried. Now she is suffering from some health issues and she believes that she is not fit for love and life. But inside her heart her love for Nate blooms. Nate could not forget her and see her condition and he wanted her. What will happen next? Will she accept his feelings? Will the prejudices change?
I love the emotional touch in this book. Amy and Nate, their love, sacrifices everything is touching.
This book also talks about sex and pregnancy, and it has lots of spicy scenes so you must be mature to read them...
If you love the second chance romance set in a Regency era, give it a try.
Thank you Greys Promotion for sending me the ARC copy of the book.

A Good and Comfort Read..
Billionaire, Single Dad , Nanny , Soulmates My favourite tropes in a single book.
Dallas is a sunshine guy and Maeve is an absolute sweetheart and June is such a  cute kid. The moments between June and Dallas are warming.
Maven is a photographer and she loves her job. The friendship between Dallas and Maven felt so natural.
The banter, possessiveness, tender moments are written beautifully.
This is the 3rd book in the series and also I recommend reading the book Caught on Camera.
Reid and Maverick are very good friends and they love to pull each other's leg.
The necklace moments are my favourite.
This is the spiciest book and I recommend this book for the mature readers.
Overall this is a good book and I recommend this to everyone.

This is a quick read. The character development is lacking in this book. Some scenes are cringey.
 I could not be involved in the book. This book does not work for me.

OMG I love this book!! Kyrie needs "The Sword" to break her curse. But they are enemies and their gods are also enemies. But she helps him. So he has to help her. What will happen next?
Will the curse break ? Or will the god accept the Sword's desire ?
I love the fantasy world settings and love the enemies to lovers vibe.
Kyrie has a sharp tongue and quick wit and she is the master in theft.
The Sword is a brave and powerful man. Their character development is good.
But you need to read the Trigger Warnings first.
The banter is also nice. But this book has a major cliffhanger.
Waiting for Book 2!!!

Thank You to the author for sending the copy of the book.

I don't like this book because it feels like dragging. I can't understand the characters speaking and their behaviour. I can't relate to this book. This book is not for me!!!

But Asher cannot love anyone because of his dark past. But Novalise fell in love with Asher. But her magic predicts the future. What will happen when Asher rejects the bond ? Why does the Shadow Assassin come to this festival ? What was has motive ? Will the prediction come true ? What will happen next ?
𖤐☾ I love the Asher and Novalise characters and the bond between their siblings is lovely.
𖤐☾ The fantasy world is written beautifully.
𖤐☾ The magical bond & chemistry between Asher and Novalise is on full fire !!!!!
𖤐☾ Drake is the shadow assassin and he is a perfect morelly grey character and I am waiting to read his story.
𖤐☾ The push and pull and the spicy banters are perfectly balanced.
𖤐☾ The pain and emotions of Asher are written beautifully and we can feel the emotions.
𖤐☾ The secrets and manipulations are handled equally in this book!
𖤐☾ If You love the Bridgerton Vibes/ Regency Era, definitely read this book. I highly recommend this.
