Wow! 🤯
This book was seriously so captivating! It is a Dark Romantasy with 10 short stories. I’m not usually huge into fantasy, but this may have changed my mind. And I must say, that it is extra spicy! 🥵

I’d be ok if I never heard about a turtle again 😂 BUT, Frieda did it again with those twists!!! Totally worth it!

This is a Dark Reverse Harem Novel. It is the second book of the Rapture Duet, so you must read Reverse Perspective first. I must say, Sadie has quite the train going on 😉
This one hits you right in the feels with an unexpected event. You can feel the sadness and trauma. But I do like that there is finally some resolution with Sadie’s father, and we hear his side of the story. After that emotional roller coaster, I’m so glad that we had a HEA.

Is it hot in here? 🥵 This book is Extra Spicy! 🌶️
This is the first book that I have read from this author, and I am thoroughly pleased. This is a second chance, rockstar romance. Gabe and Harper will have you feeling all of the anger, sadness, Lust and Love. I can’t wait to read Book 2.

This is a very short story. It was only 25 pages so I was able to complete in a small amount of time. I must say that it caught my attention and I was intrigued from the beginning!

35 pages… I had to restart it because I thought I missed something. The story starts out so abrupt, and I was confused for most of the story.
3 women meet up for drinks and cheese, while plotting revenge and possible murder. Instead, they settle for ex-lax pot brownies. Of course the lady bringing them to her “victims”, ate the brownies too. The end 😂

Watch Her Breathe is depraved dark mafia romance. This is the 8th and final book in the Watch Her Series. It’s fairly short, so I was able to finish it in a few hours.
This is the story of Violet and Ryker.
Spice Level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.
As much of a BA Ryker is, Violet is badder. She takes no crap. The trauma that she experiences could be very triggering for some, so keep that in mind.
Violet is being hunted by traffickers, but Ryker keeps her for himself. Until she was found that is, and Ryker was passed away… or is he? Will she be saved?
This is a must read. Although it can be read as a standalone, it is better read as the series, since characters and stories overlap.

This is a dark romance, although it’s not as dark as the previous books. This is the 7th book in the series, and the story of Kaia and Rayne.
Kaia’s boss Rayne, must get married in order to gain ownership of his company. He convinced Kaia to marry him. Besides, it’s only for 1 year. Can they go through with it, without developing any feelings?
This was a super quick read. I did wish that there was more, because I loved Kaia and Rayne’s relationship.

This is book 6 in the Watch Her series. This is the story of Josephine and Landon…. And Silas 👀 Cuz sharing is caring 🥵
HOLY COW!!! You think you know what happened… NO YOU DON’T. I did not see that twist coming. Poor Josephine went through unimaginable trauma, but who better to help her cope, then Landon the hottie, from the gym. Even better, she helped him through his trauma too.
I’m not going to spoil this one, but the ending is EVERYTHING! Must read!

This is the 5th book in the Watch Her series. This is Stormy and Milo’s story. At 17, Stormy lost her mom to cancer, and her father proceeded to SA her. That is until she ran away, and her father passed away in an accident, while going after her.
She then met a Mafia boss named Joey, who was much older than her. He drugged her, groomed her, abused her in multiple ways. She finally found the courage to leave him, but not without the mafia finding her of course.
This is where Milo came in. She ran into a bar, and found the biggest man that she saw, and pretended to be dating him. Milo immediately fell in love and knew that she was worth protecting. He took care of her, showed her compassion and love.
During Stormy’s healing journey, she worked with her psychiatrist Dax. But unfortunately they ended up in a traumatic situation together. That situation then brought on confusing emotions, that they couldn’t control. How could Stormy choose between Milo who she loves, and Dax, that she feels she loves too? Why choose, when you can have them both?
Overall, this is a great read! I can’t wait to read the next book!
