OMG! what is going on with the cliff hanger endings!
At this point I'm just addicted to ALL THINGS JT! I had a feeling Dimitri was going to make an appearance here sooner or later. Killian is an interesting twist, I hope we get more on him, he sounds like a hoot! Eva needs to stop getting herself into sticky situations. I loved this book just like I loved all the other ones!
Ugh I have a love/hate relationship with cliff hangers.
OMG I can't believe JT did that to me I thought we were besties! I've got the 2nd booked queued up ready to go but still, that's not cool, ending the book on a cliff hanger like that. As per usual JT nails it, I love the extensive character and plot development then BAM plot twist.
I can't wait to read the rest of the series!!
I loved Kat and Nico's story! What a whirlwind of events, while this wasn't as twisty in the plot as other books her hers that I've read, I loved it all the same. I'm a sucker for a possessive rockstar! It's super light on the spice which I can appreciate that she didn't feel the need to fluff it up with all kinds of crazy spicy scenes.
Oh wow, what a story. Just like Pen Pal and Perfect Strangers, I absolutely loved this book. J.T.'s writing gives me life. This was such a good book to follow the other two as they were intense roller coasters of emotions, this one is calmer and less intense but still amazing in its own right. The character and plot development was delicious, I felt like I could picture everything and everyone in this book. I'd LOVE it if all of J.T.s books were turned into movies, I'd watch them repeatedly. I highly recommend this book and all her other work as well.
J.T. Is now my favorite author ever. Two books in a row that absolutely blew my mind. This book, ugh I may need to circle back to this review later when I can find more words to use. The complete mind F she gave me, I almost threw my kindle across the room. This book had me on an emotional roller coaster happy sad angry and happy again. I can't explain how emotionally invested I got into this story for it to just go poof (IYKYK I don't want to give away any spoilers). I feel like more people need to be talking about J.T.'s literary masterpieces, Pen Pal was phenomenal, Perfect Stranger also phenomenal. I'm just going to go down a J.T. Geissinger rabbit hole and binge everything I can get my grubby little hands on.
OH MY GOD. This may be my favorite book of the year. I was not expecting that. This book was absolutely incredible, I could not get enough of it. I may just have a book hangover from this. I don't know how anything else I'll read this year will compare to this. I really enjoyed working kind of backwards if that makes sense to get to what happened. I was not expecting any of it, I had my hunches but they were blown away and completely wrong. I've never been so wrong before and I love that I wasn't able to figure out the plot twists in this book.
GRIPPING PAGE TURNER!!!
Wow.. now I know why all the FB groups were buzzing over this book. It is absolutely phenomenal! I could not put it down, it is such a gripping page turner. The Ivory's remind me of the Whitlocks in 24690. I did not expect that ending holy moly, what a twist! I kind of want to know what becomes of Demi. Where does she go? Does she get the Ivory money? Does she go back to being homeless? I have so many questions!!
This is another one with a lot of TWs so I would highly suggest checking them before reading this book.
Steamy hot MM dark romance.
I liked this book a lot, there was a lot of character and plot development. I love that Blaise and Cole were written by different authors, I thought that was a neat way to go about writing a co-authored book. There is a lot of spice in this book, so if that is not your jam I do not recommend it for you. Cole and Blaise who are step brothers,both with girlfriends,eventually fall in love with each other. Keeping their affair in the dark for a while as they were afraid of how others would perceive them being together since they were step brothers.
This wasn't really my jam. I feel like it was rinse and repeat over and over. Zayne gets high, Hallie leaves him, Zayne has sex with her to get her to take him back then repeat the process in every other chapter. There is zero chemistry between to FMC and MMC, they're toxic and not in a good way. I love a good toxic relationship as much as the next girl but this was not it. There is Excessive Drug use / addiction so if you're triggered by that do not read this book or do so with caution.
TWs: drug abuse, drug addiction, rape, self harm, suicide attempt
This was cute, funny, romantic and swoon worthy. I was so hesitant on reading this as it's not my normal genre, but I guess stepping out of your comfort zone can be rewarding. I loved Olivia and Ezra (IYKYK LOL) falling in love. I absolutely crushed this book in a few hours. I hated Dane from the very beginning, I almost hated Ami too but she grew on me. I'd definitely recommend reading this if you need a lighthearted funny enemies to lovers romance!
This book is so good, magnificent and work of art. I would die for this to be a movie. A gripping page turner is putting it lightly, I could not put this book down. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this book on Amazon by accident. I was looking for a specific themed book and this one was recommended but not the theme I wanted, I read the description and said why not? Best happy accident ever. There is thrill, suspense, a HEA, character and plot development. I read a lot of the reviews, it seems like the 1 star reviewers don't understand Stockholm syndrome where it's entirely possible to fall in love with your kidnapper. That's not here nor there just an observation.
TW's: kidnapping, rape, miscarriage, almost abortion, explicit sexual scenes, murder, mental illness, attempted self harm.
I cannot get enough of these books, holy moly. There are so many twists and turns I don't see coming. I love when books can surprise me, as most things I read I tend to figure out before hand and kind of ruin the surprise. This book is right on par with the first with how dark it is, there more torture and blood shed I can't stop thinking about what was done to Master Kuhken, he deserved it but still holy crap that was so wild. The ending of this was superb and everything I hoped for.
As always check your trigger warnings at the cover for this book because it is DARK.
Pitch black darkness...
WOW. I wanted dark and I got pitch black, middle of the forest on the longest day of the year with a blind fold on dark. I absolutely loved this, it's dark, erotic, passionate, and poetic...there's complicated emotions, turmoil, grief, desire and the most vile actions I have ever read. I can't wait to crack open the next book, I feel like a fiend looking for their next score. I knew West was a snake, he rubbed me the wrong way from the start. Everleigh is so strong and resourceful. Bram oh Bram where do I even start with him, I knew it, that's all I'll say is that I knew it. Check your trigger warnings at the cover because this book will check every single one of them.
I LOVED this. I don't think I've ever read a mafia romance where the FMC was the one actively in the mafia. Since this was a novella, it was fast paced without losing any character or plot development which I appreciate as a reader. I didn't raise any expectations going into this as I haven't explored too many novellas as I enjoy longer novels. I would love to see this turned into a longer novel and follow their story.
Jax and Cam fall in love while she intentionally drags out his tattoo appointments. Cam knows she's the heir to the McMally Mafia yet that doesn't deter him from pursuing her and gaining acceptance from her father.
TW's: explicit sexual content, blood, physical violence, gun violence, torture, kidnapping, physical and mental abuse, lastly death.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to read this as an ARC. Now, I just have to “patiently” wait for the rest of the books, patience isn't my strong suit.
Another fantastic book from Danielle Baker. In this book we get Roxy and Travis' story, they met when Roxy's friend got her to sign up for his kick boxing classes at the Gym. If you've read the previous books in the series you know Roxy's ex is an abusive jerk and Travis would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her.
I really love when series have over lap between books with the same characters at different points in their lives. Danielle really does a great job of keeping the details of recurring characters .
