Roughing It by Albany Archer

5.0

This book was perfection. Hudson Brooks is perfection is the broody, outdoorsy, Bear sorta way. And Blakely is the influencer who has two different personas that she’s got to sort through. There are soo many emotions reading through this and dang if you’re not rooting for them from page one. The spice is spicing, the banter is amazing, and emotion pulls you straight in. Again. Perfection. I can’t wait to continue reading more from Albany!

This book was so good! It leaves you wanting so much more at the end! It’s quirky, it’s fun, it’s just on this side of spicy, it’s slow burn. I’m so interested to know if we’re going to see some why choose in the next book and how Ash is going to mix in. I can’t wait to see what happens next! 
Teach Me Daddy by Elyse Kelly, Elyse Kelly

I am not a huge fan of the "daddy" trope but I can admit when a book is good and this one is good! Master Blake aka Daddy and Madison are hot Hot HOT! This is a quick read (as all of Elyse's books are) and it doesn't do any slow burn, long drawn out stuff. It's an insta-attraction, instasmut, insta-chemistry, novella! Buckle up though cuz you are in for a ride with this one! It's a slippery one ;) .. ooh and don't forget to download the bonus scene!

Alright friends- I want to be clear- I stepped way outside my comfort zone for this dystopian romance and I am SO glad I did. Kara and Flynn have absolutely pulled me in and I can’t put it down! Because this was my first series like this it did take me a minute to understand everything but Nevermore makes it so easy with her great writing,  character development, and exciting plot! This book was so good I immediately picked up split and began it too! 
Bones: A Dark Mafia Romance by Chelle Rose

5.0

When I say Bones is a dark mafia romance, I mean it is a DARK MAFIA romance. It has a high amount of triggers and red flags. Heck Bones IS a walking red flag but of course the way he melts for Athena is a different story. Overall fabulously written and kept me on my toes. Characters were well developed and plot was intense. I seriously can’t wait for the next book! 
Christmas Cancellation by Evie James

Stinkerbelle + Slippery mode = Christmas Cancellation. 

If you want a book that dives into trauma, mental health, PTSD, while also having that supportive person, opposites attract, and instalove, this is your book. It's a quick read and full of witty banter that will keep you on your toes. It's sweet, spicy and romantic. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the story of Noelle and Kol. 

I do think you need to read the triggers before starting the book, though. This book talks about some heavy mental health topics, and suicidal ideation is a deep-rooted conversation in this book. Your mental health matters.  

This book is a perfect romantic addition for the Christmas season! 
Facing the Music by N. Slater

This is book 3 of the sinful surrender series and while it is technically a standalone it is highly suggested that you read the first two so you have a basic understanding of the storyline and Paval! This story is about love and of course there’s mystery, twist and turns, always a bit of spicy! This was perfect for Pavals story and I loved every minute of it! 
My Turn by Madilyn DeRose

5.0

This book. Holy smokes. Once I started, I didn't stop. It was amazing. Read your trigger warnings of course as there are quite a few. But this book has the best friend vibes, the twin brother's girl vibes, the masked st@lker vibes, the touch her and be deleted vibes, and to top it all off, you can choose if you want the HEA or not. 

Alana has been through some stuff. And she just keeps going through it during each chapter as she unravels more and more truths. There are twists and turns that left me saying "are you kidding me?". This was such a fantastic read! 

This was the first book I have read by this author but I've already looked up and added some of her backlist to my tbr! If you love a masked st@alker book, you will absolutely love this one. 

Also, I read both endings and I loved them both for what they were. The HEA was perfect.  The non HEA was perfect. They both fit and they were both great endings. Thankful you could choose, honestly! Great idea that I've never gotten to experience before! 
In Love with the Devil by Sky Blue

4.0

I want to start this review by saying this book has a ton of triggers. Many say it would be good for those who love HD Carlton and Shantel Tessier but I honestly believe it goes further than that. There are many triggers in this book that are much much further than triggers listed in either of the two authors listed above. PLEASE mind your own mental health and mind the triggers listed in the book. 

With that being said, it is a captive, grape, Stockholm syndrome, obsessive book. It's dark, depraved, unhinged, and there are no redemption factors for the MMC. There are tons of dark and twisty moments and it'll be great to read more from this author. Truly amazing hands down. 
Haunted Happenstance by Irene Bahrd

4.0

This book was not one of the most spicy of Irene's. It is a sapphic Halloween romance and if you haven't read undecided heir, it can give you some spoilers. With that being said, it is part of the Holiday Eroticom series but it is a stand alone and can be read as such. HOWEVER, you will want to read the others if you read this one, as this book brings up the other characters. 

Even though this one isn't super spicy, in typical Irene fashion, there is mention of the peach play and the buzz buzz. When she promises, she delivers :) Read the warnings. It's all there!
