Cait
Great world building
Tate James does it again! Such a great world building first book with some nice spice! I'm curious to see how this series plays out.
I will say the plot seems a little too close to Madison Kate series, but it's still dragging me in. I need all the answers! Also, hello Zed ...where can I order myself one of those?
I found myself addicted to this story from the very beginning. I absolutely love Cill and Kat and the way their love triumphs all.
After a raid sends Cill to prison for four years, he is released back into a world that is completely different from how he left it. The MC is falling apart at the seems, and he's facing a girlfriend who stopped coming to see him a year prior. Everything has changed, but he's determined to get back to loving Kat, even if that means doing something he never thought he would. Kat is harbouring some secrets of her own, and fears what will happen when they all come out.
This story gets a 4.5 ⭐ rating from me, and the spice rating is about
Hello Mr. Chen.
If you like Christmas...and you have a praise kink, then what are you waiting for? Pick up this book! Because Mr. Chen is literally perfect and absolutely adore how much he cares for Presley.
The only thing I wish was different was the length of this read! It's very short, so it's perfect for Christmas ...but I fell in love with Roman and Presley and wanted so much more!
Another great Holiday Brother read!
I love this festive world Willa has created with the Holiday Brothers. I can't wait to read the next one!
Stella and Heath are very cute! I loved the addition of keeping it a secret and having it blow up in Heath's face. Stella's brother grovelling was amazing as well!
Enemies to Lovers magic! 4.5 ⭐
I absolutely adore the enemies to Lovers trope and this book knocked it out of the park. I loved the banter between Remy and Tristan. I quite enjoyed the character development. This book would have been a 5 star had it not been for the miscommunication. It's the one thing that drives me batty. I loved the spice, and the side characters and overall it was a great read!
Quick, fun, pleasurable!
This book was something I wasn't fully expecting to love, if I'm honest. But Nice and Elle are super sweet. Nic is an escort that is hired (by Elle's friend)mtomescort Elle to a wedding without Elle knowing. I loved the push and pull and the inner dialogue of Nic as he fought his feelings for Elle. I found the beginning to be a little slow as the end to be too quick, but overall a decent read.
3.5 rounded to 4 ⭐

If you like 80s nostalgia you'll love this rom-com! A single-mom, grumpy/sunshine romance set in Boston is a great read. It's a workplace romance with a single mom who is a prior actress, a new in town grumpy producer (who the kids are scared of), and second chances.
Henry and Bella have a complicated history and when Bella runs into him on the set of a TV reboot, she freaks out. She's been keeping a few secrets...including an almost 6 year old little girl. Henry just wants his life back on track after living back at home for 7 years, so he takes an AP job in Boston, where he runs into his childhood crush...again.
This story was well written and I loved the 80s nostalgia. I also thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue in the office as it made me connect more to the characters by learning their strengths both in the office, and outside of it.
There are some overlaps of previous characters in the series and I do think you'd want to read them all in order to have the best reading experience, but this can be read as a standalone as well.
Note to those who follow my smutty readers who follow my reviews: there is fade to black and no real spice here. But the story is great!
“This was supposed to be a marriage of convenience. I never expected it to be much more.”
Let's start with what I did like:
I love marriage of convenience/forced proximity and billionaire. It's up there with one of my favourite tropes. This is my first read from Anise Storm, and I quite enjoyed the storyline. I thought Caspian and Paisley were amazing together, and Paisley really came into her own, despite the hand being dealt. She was able to stand up to Caspian's uncle, and was true to herself. Caspian is your typical alpha-ceo. His mannerisms sucks (constantly interrupting Paisley, for example) and he thinks he's gods gift. But underneath that he just wants to feel the kind of love he missed out on growing up.
What I didn't particularly like:
It was a touch over-detailed, but not enough to make me dislike the story. I feel like some things here and there could have been left out.
Overuse of the word “females”. This is probably the biggest beef I have with this book. It would have been so much better if I didn't read “females” for every time the author should have just used women. I don't know why, but this word just bugs me when it's used a descriptive word. “The female” is just off-putting.
Overall, I'd give the book a 4. There was a lot of good in those pages, and I truly did love Caspian and Paisley and their story! If you love billionaire, forced marriages...you'll like this one!
A perfect mix of sweet and spicy!
What did I just read? Perfection. I originally thought this was going to be over-hyped and I wouldn't like it. HA. Jokes on me. Sean is seriously the most perfect man. Intelligent (even if his views are a little out there), sweet, caring and spicy! He's almost too good to be true. Dom is broody, and grumpy most of the time, but as the book continues we see a bit more about him that shows that underneath all those walls is a man who just wants to feel loved.
Cecelia, while trying to figure her life out, has wound up between these two men and holy Hannah. I'm so intrigued and I need to continue!
This is my first read by Anna Doe, and I am not disappointed! This college romance had me in my feels, and trying to figure out the mystery of Mason. These two main characters have been through a lot but somehow they persevered and their relationship flourished. The only part I wasn't the biggest fan of was the “insta-love” theme in both the prequel and in Kiss To Remember, as one date doesn't make you fall in love.... But I love how it turned out and the story that followed. It kept me on my toes and I kept yelling at Mason to stop being a stupid boy! In the end he came through though! 4/5 stars!
This is a beautifully told friends to enemies to lovers story. Jasmine was hurt once by Tyler, and led to believe what happened between them was a mistake. She vowed to never let him break down her walls again. She moved away and ignored his existence until her best friend called her home to plan her wedding...
Jasmine swallows her pride to be there for her best friend, but it proves difficult to keep her walls up from the person who hurt her all those years ago, since it's her best friend's brother.
There are a lot of ups and downs and I don't agree with all the decisions this couple made, however, I loved seeing their chemistry and the way their relationship was pulled together. This story made me shed a few tears and I was heartbroken with the characters. A beautiful story! Jasmine and Tyler will stay with me for a while ❤️.
Shep and Bridget are absolutely adorable! Bridget thinks she needs help “securing” a man, and enlists the help of Shep after having a revelation that results in a simple equation. Of course these two have off-the-charts chemistry that has been brewing from years of friendship. I loved the chapters of texting as it brought some realness to these characters as well. Another awesome job by Lili Valente! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!
