I don’t rate smut but I’m giving the plot 4 stars. A great quick read if you’re looking for something sexy but also smart. Pulled at the heart strings.

I just didn’t like either of the characters. It didn’t work for me. The audiobook was fine, except for the voice the female narrator used for the fmc.

(4.8 ⭐️) This novella somehow had amazing smut and emotional dialogue with fun side characters to explore and a really beautiful relationship.

Book #2 of Smutathon April 2020.

TW: Pregnancy loss (which I wish I had known going into it).

This was the first book in the Lick series about former best friends who reconnect at his sex club.

Again, super smutty. A little bit lighter on plot than I like. I still liked Rion and Harper, but didn't connect with them as characters. I did like how sex positive it was, and how Rion really supported Harper explore her sexuality.

Low key intrigued about the other guys who feature in the rest of the series. Might check out later.

A cute second chance friends to lovers story. I personally felt like some of the language wasn't super sex-positive, but it's all in how it's interpreted by the people involved, I supposed.

TW: there are a ton. Death of a loved one, death of a child, violence, gang relations, probably some more I'm missing

3.5 stars rounded up
Unsurprisingly super steamy but had a surprisingly decent plot! I also really liked the author’s writing. This packed a lot into a novella but it wasn’t under or overwhelming and I enjoyed following this second-chance romance that was a little taboo and a lot kinky.

Probably the smuttiest book I've ever read.

This was very much outside of my comfort zone, and yet I really enjoyed it! My only complaint is that the ending felt rushed, but considering how short this is, I can't really hold it against the author.
