I loved every part of this book it was so freaking good are male main character Nero is definitely in my top 5 if not three favorite male main characters in books I’ve read his appearance was nice the way he spoke his words ugh😩 I’ve never read a book we’re the main characters meet like this it was so good i lived for it and oh my goodness his possessiveness over are female main character Payton how he stalks her😩 when he takes her virginity😏😩I just loved every scene inside this entire book I cannot wait to read the other books in this series this is a happy ending in both ways😏 with no cliffhangers it’s definitely spicy🌶️🌶️🌶️it has no cheating and no love triangles there is one scene though we’re some people may find as cheating but I will say he doesn’t kiss or have sex with another girl so don’t think that🤣 other then that we’re good some of the tropes are virgin heroine, age gap, billionaire romance, grumpy x sunshine and I think a couple more I totally recommend this book do good😍😍overall I knew I was gonna rate this book a 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from the beginning

I really enjoyed the first half of this book it was so good and some of the scenes in the beginning had me giggling hardcore but then I don’t know what happened like I’d say the last 40-50 pages of this book was not for me it took me a week to get through cause I just lost interest i was stuck between giving this book a 3-4 but then I just stuck with a three cause it’s not a bad book at all but it’s not my favorite this book is very spicy it has no cheating between the main characters it has no love triangle some of the tropes are enemies to lovers, Fake dating, and one bed with a couple more it’s a happy ending with no cliffhangers and the cover is so cute I rated this a 3.75⭐️⭐️⭐️and I still do plan on reading the other books in this series🥰🫶🏼

I really enjoyed this book it was my first book from this author and most likely not my last i am looking forward to reading the rest of her books in this east port bay billionaire’s series and there all like inspired by fairytale’s this one is beauty and the beast which made me love the book even more this is a slow burn not to much spice but when the spice happens it gets spicy it’s a happy ending with no cliffhangers no love triangle or cheating i would recommend reading this book only 250+ pages and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series overall i rated it 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I freaking lovedddd this book I can’t wait for the next one it was so good I'm not sure if this book was kind’ve inspired by hocus pocus or if it was just a coincidence but certain parts of this book reminded me of hocus pocus and i loved every part of it i loved that are male main character could 🐈‍⬛shape shift🐈‍⬛ i will be looking for more books like that because of this it was just such a cute kinda short fun read it’s under 300 pages about 220 pages i read this on kindle which I'm still kind’ve new to reading books on kindle and this is definitely a book that i would love and most likely will purchase the physical copy to Spookily Yours  was spicy with a happy ending and no cliffhangers there is gonna be a second book in this series Wickedly Yours coming Fall 2024 and i won’t be sharing who’s story it’s gonna be about because i feel like if i say it before you read the book it will spoil something in the book so I will be keeping that out so apart from that this cover is so freaking cute i love that the theme of this book was fall/halloween halloween is my favorite holiday 😍 i honestly can’t even explain how much I enjoyed this book i need like a thousand more books in this series I definitely recommend giving this book a try overall i gave this book 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐈‍⬛🎃

I liked this book I didn’t love it i just couldn’t seem to get into it which was mostly cause of me i loved the story but my mind has been having trouble reading books and enjoying them lately i feel like if i would have read this book a month ago when i wasn’t so deep in my mind i would have loved it more then i actually did this book is in a series with i think 4 other books which I'm sure there’s gonna be more in the series then just 5 but you get to meet the male main character in the next book in this book which I'm pretty sure this is a series of standalone’s but i still think you should read them in order just because you meet characters from the previous book in the next one this book was spicy not incredibly spicy but definitely still spicy its a happy ending with no cliffhangers and no love triangle or cheating the female main character is a virgin human and the male main character is a sweet caring monster but  vicious when he is in the mood😈😈ifykyk this book did feel like a slow burn I think my favorite part about this book was that the male main characters eyes were like a mood ring every mood had a different color and it was fun and interesting learning about the meaning behind every color I don’t really have a whole lot to say overall i rated this book 3 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was ok it was a fun short read only 107 pages it wasn’t that interesting or enjoyable to me personally this books is Arranged Marriage with a Virgin Heroine it’s spicy with a happily ever after ‼️‼️Kinda Spoiler‼️‼️there is a Attempted sexual Assualt but it stops before it happens theres no love triangle or cheating between the main characters either its also insta attraction/love this book is definitely not a Slowburn which is probably why i only rated it 3 stars i love slowburns and ain’t a fan of instalove yeah not much to say i rated it 3 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️

Where do i begin i’ve been so excited to read this book since January and even more excited when the cover reveal happened in march i truly loved and enjoyed the possessiveness and jealousy of Cade with Amaya i hate damn Parker though he pissed me off so much Parker is a side character who is also a pos some parts of the book i hated and some i loved i hated how the female main character got r*ped by a side character but i loved how there were scenes from the movie that were kinda flipped but still brought up in the book there were certain things that were said in this book that i loved like “After all, people often ignore traits in others that exist within themselves” idky but i related to that a little more then id like to but i loved it it had me rereading it look 20 times before i carried on reading this book and this book is the 5th book in the Never After series if you don’t know that series its pretty much a series of Villains who get there happy endings all these books are dark romance so be aware of that but the 1st book in this series is Hooked and it’s a Peter pan retelling the 2nd book is Scarred and it’s a Lion king retelling the 3rd book is Wretched and it’s a Wizard of Oz retelling the 4th book is Twisted and it’s a Aladdin retelling and the 5th book in this series is Crossed and it’s a Hunchback of Notre dame retelling theres gonna be a 6th and final book in this series but that is yet to be released and these books are all Spicy with happy endings and no cliffhangers and some of the Tropes in this one is Fairytale Retelling, Forbidden love, Secret romance and Boy falls first oh and also Age gap i highly recommend this series jeez i feel like i wrote a story so overall i rated this books 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ READ THIS SERIES oouu and if thats not convincing enough look at how pretty the covers are and oouuu i forgot this the male main character is a Priest and the Female main character is a Exotic dancer NOW READ IT🥰🫶🏼
