My first DNF for 2023...
I don't know how you can go through almost 700 pages without a plot. There is literally no interest in this book, no plot. I tried to read it and I also tried the audiobook which was soooo much worse because of Diesel's voice and grunting.

So these men kidnap a woman because her father sold her, the author never explains, why, or even why they choose to do it at that point of time, you would expect this to have something to do at least with birthday etc, but no, they just decide to take her a random night.
I got up to chapter 28, I struggled to get there as there was no plot, nothing to hook on, nothing to wait for.

Following the Just For Show, rom com, Jae introduces us to Claire's sister's, Steph, who for the first time in her life may come across a woman that will make her want more than a casual relationship!

A very heartfelt story, slow burn, very well written as always and narrated by Lori Prince who always makes everything sound so good!

Highly recommend for a fun listening or a quick read to remove you from a reading slump!

Do yourself a favour and don't read a lot about this books plot, spoilers etc. It will ruin everything for you. The basics are a marriage out of necessity, an age gap and struggling with mental health issues with the proper sensitivity (therefore reading the TW is a necessity) and no 3rd person in their middle.

Loved both of the characters, loved the story and the way everything was handled. It was a bit of a slower pace for me, but it didn't take away from the book nor I was bored. The smutty scenes were hot and added to the story instead of just existing.

The audio version was done excellent, but if aching romance is your go to, you will enjoy this book in any form. 

And Jude ... Give him to me...

This is the story of a guy obsessed over a girl that he only hooked up with her a couple of times and her instead of running 💨 away, she felt for him! 
I love Elle Kennedy's writing style and this is what saves this book. But the 1st on this series was definitely by far better! 
I ll be reading the rest of the series. I just hope they are based on more real relationships.

(The phone scene 🥵)

“There's nothing I won't do to find my way back to you, and if that means I burn down some buildings or kill a couple of assholes, I don't care so long as it gets me here.”

And there you go, if you want someone that will burn the whole world for her, you have to look no further than Luc Thompson! 

“That so long as I have you next to me, everyone else can get fucked during the end of the world.”

Luc and Aurelia are fated mates since birth until Fate (pun intended) wants them apart and he was the good guy, until they force him not to be, and he becomes an unstoppable “bad” guy to save the woman he loves. 

Jojo K Scott created a modern supernatural universe, full of vampires, demons, magicians and other species, and most importantly mixed breeds. In a world were ethereal species must live with humans, were human and non human trafficking thrives and has sprinkled it with hot, steamy scenes 🔥🔥🔥 and core killing 💀💀💀. She has mix together everything we love in dark fantasy, with the touch her and you die trope, escaping a cult and finishes this first book in a glimpse of an apocalypse start! 
I can't wait for the second part!

PS. Please check TW! There are a lot!
