A review by _annreads
Savage Bosses by M'Renee Allen
fast-paced
5.0
Desire Me by Tiya Rayne
10/10 Pacing
This is something close to a prequel I am guessing. Not a slowburn but it did not drag either. I was invested and things did not take long to develop and get interesting.
10/10 Story Arc
Great plot twist! I knew something was brewing but I never thought it would get that serious. I loved it! I need book 1 of this series and it'll be released next year.
10/10 Characters
If you are not familiar with the alphahole type of male leads and this is your first go at it...well it's about to get real. Nico, the MMC, might as well be a mafia man. Tiffany is so relatable. She's so kindhearted and you quickly find yourself rooting for her. The characters overall are all written in a way that makes you feel like they're real.
10/10 Inclusion of the teased tropes
Wonderful inclusion of all the tropes mentioned in teasers and reveals.
✨ ARC Review ✨
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:
I had a good time reading this book. Nico is very much unhinged. The stuff that man does in order to have what and who he wants is just insane. This could have been a dark romance in my opinion. Book 1 of this series is coming up in 2024. This is a prequel but a necessary prequel. You cannot skip it because there are some keys events that happen and it includes a cliffhanger. So Desire Me cannot be skipped 🖤
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️:
The dirty talk is why this gets a 4 from me. I hope that book 1 has more talk and action to make it a 5😋
Obey Me by Reana Malori
10/10 Pacing
Things move really fast in this one. The MMC over-the-top possessive so it doesn't take long for the plot to develop.
10/10 Story Arc
Great story. It was relatively short but great regardless. Nothing really fell flat.
10/10 Characters
Nyla is literally so relatable. Her inner monologues are so down-to-Earth. King, the MMC, is so possessive and just a jerk to her. His reasoning somewhat made sense so I won't complain much... Assuming that is exactly what the author wanted for King's character to be, no holding back, it was well done!
10/10 Inclusion of the teased tropes
The author included all the tropes that were mentioned in teasers and posts.
✨ ARC Review ✨
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐:
King is so arrogant. Again, alphahole galore in this book and he's so unapologetic about it! Sometimes I was like Nyla, babe, stand up but that's how the author wrote her character. If that's not for you, totally understandable but I, I was having a blast 🤭
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️:
They were hot. I kinda wanted more chemistry but it was great regardless.
The Savage Bosses books has 15+ books. They're mostly office romance and some other tropes. These 2 are office romances and a few more tropes. I really enjoyed both of these books. More importantly, glad to have received the ARCs and now I have more authors to keep up with. Trust me, give these a go, you won't regret it! Release date is October 17th!
Tropes included in both books:
💼 Friends to lovers
💼 Hate to love
💼 Billionaire romance
💼 Mafia romance.
💼 Office romance
