 Ummm, if you need a good cry, you’ve found the right book… 
 
Thank you, Jenn Plummer, and The Smuthood PR for allowing me to read and review the ARC of Complete Me.  It really did complete this series for me. 
 
First, I really don’t want to leave Aspen Ridge.  I’m hooked and I really want to see how all the characters are doing now 😊 This was my first motorcycle club romance, and I really enjoyed it! I’m so sad this is over, but this story, Reid and Kinsey really deserve their happy ending. 
 
This story follows Reid Knight, Aspen’s resident bad boy – or so he seems.  However, once you find out why Reid is the way he is, you’ll fall in more in love with him – if that’s possible. 
 
Kinsey Hayes is not just your ordinary FMC.  No, after coming from a family of overbearing brothers, it’s nice to see this sweet young girl turn into a fiery, strong and independent woman. She finally is able to break free of who others want her to be and spread her wings to become who she’s meant to be, and I love seeing how it translates and helps Reid do the same. 
 
The chemistry is really good between them and the spice… the spice was absolutely not only what I thought they needed but was perfect for them.  Reid was so passionate and devoted, it just gave me all the feels. I’m just FERAL for these two! 
 
I really do think Jenn saved the best book for last – although ALL of them are amazing.  This was the perfect way to wrap up this series and I honestly am so sad to see it end. It has been a wild ride, but worth every second of time spent in Aspen Ridge.

  The toxicity that I didn’t know I wanted or needed… 

This was my first Saffron A. Kent book, and I want to thank Smuthood PR and Saffron A. Kent for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This story follows Juniper Jones, who has been in love with Shepard Thorne since she was 12 years old. She became obsessed with him, which is insane since she is technically his stepsister. Some years later, she’s now taking care of her very sick sister, Snow, who happens to be Shepard’s half-sister. To say she’s stressed is an understatement.

Shepard Thorne is the bad boy soccer star of the New York City FC. He’s a total damaged and flawed MMC, but call me crazy, I think that’s what I love about him the most – he’s unhinged. He’s part of a very famous Thorne family who are the kings of soccer. After losing his fiancée to his twin brother, throwing off his game to the point of losing everything he'd worked so hard for, his world seemed to be crumbling down around him.

So, what makes it better? The mutual stalking of each other – Juniper and Shepard. These two are absolutely feral for each other but that doesn’t stop the push-pull that seems to always be going on between them. As much as Shepard tries to fight his attraction there’s something about her that he can’t resist. This book takes you through twists and turns that you didn’t know that you wanted or needed – but it absolutely delivers a very wild, emotional and layered journey for you and the characters. Pick this book up – like now!

This book follows Nash Wilde in the aftermath of his relationship gone array with Zara, now Zara Wilde, after she marries his father.  Nash goes to Amsterdam where meets Ellis Prior, an old friend and work friend of his father's.  While in Amsterdam, things happen with Nash and Ellis that leave their relationship irreparable.  

Hanna Thurber, the prima ballerina and friend of Zara's from Gravity, is in need of a place to rest and try and get her life in order, and ends up at Del Ray (Nash's home now) and boy do things take a turn. There's instant chemistry that the two try and fight because of their mutual connection to Zara. However, those lines don't stay unblurred for long.

Enter Ellis Prior, again, when Alistair Wilde enlists his help to work with Nash on a pending merger... companies aren't the only things to be merged.  What starts as innocent and fun turns into an attraction that is undeniably forbidden and wild (pun intended).  

This was a great end to the duet series of the Wilde Boys.  I absolutely feel in love with Nash and all of his broken parts in Gravity.  He cemented a place in my heart then, but to see in this sequel that he's able to fight through all of his demons just makes me happy.

 I have SO much to say about this book! I just loved it from the minute I picked it up... a why-choose, romantasy with a missing person angle - count me in! This was a very fast paced book with the right mixture of plot, spice and intrigue.

This story follows Rylee Gray as she forges her way through The Choosing ceremony with her friends in hopes of finding out information regarding her sister, Erin, who disappeared after the last years ceremony. She didn't come away with answers regarding her sister, but she did come a way with being chosen as the Legends (of Chaos) potential.

Let’s talk about the Legends, shall we🔥:
• The Dreamer - Cal
• The Player - Axl
• The Mind - Pierce
• The Nightmare - Jax
These men can't be more different but perfect in every way. Rylee has to spend one month with each man in their respective cities. She gets to know them so much better and through her knowledge of them, we get to know and love them as well. But she can't ever rest easy, not only is she worried constantly about them finding out who she really is, but about the end and whether they will choose her as she has chosen them and the final step to the process.

When I say the spice is spicing... I mean, it was amazing. It had me wanting to be "chosen" too! The spice does not take over the plot as it can in most why-choose books, this was the perfect mixture.

The end of this book will wreck you. I thought I was wrecked and then Jade helped put me back together, only to wreck me again... this book has me literally in a chokehold, sat and ready waiting on book #2. I'm literally FERAL for the Legends. I must know how this all ends.

If you love any of the following tropes, this book is for you:
💗Why-Choose
💗Multi POV
💗Found family
💗Supernatural powers
💗Touch her and $%$

I honestly have SO much to say about this book, but I can't give out any spoilers - dang it! Let me start by thanking Allie Shante and Good Girls PR for sending me this amazing ARC.  

This book follows Riley Monroe, who is a human living in a world a world where magic exists openly. She's been surrounded by it all of her life and has thought nothing of it.  She's out one night and meets River St. James, a tattooed telepath, that happens to go to school where her father works: the notorious Mystic Riegan University, a school that caters to both humans and magic wielders. A tragedy strikes Riley's family and she feels like she needs to take matters into her own hands to find out what really went down.  

In the midst of all of that, she finds herself in the most interesting of relationships with her boyfriend (River), his best friend (Grayson) and her boyfriend's older brother (Asher)... Asher who also happens to be one of her college professors, when she transfers to Mystic Riegan University.  Let's just say that the men in her life are all good with sharing - everything. I mean, the SPICE is SPICING 🌶️.

This book ends on the most diabolical cliffhanger and now I literally can't wait to get the second book in this duet. I'm going to be tapping my feet until I get it... just call me a petulant child until I get it! 😊

 Holy moly!!! I was SO not ready for this book! It was AMAZING…really 4.5⭐️read. I received this book as a ALC, courtesy of The Nerd Fam and E.P. Bali, and I’m SO thankful.

This book is the prequel to Her Feral Beasts and the Her Vicious Beasts Series. This book establishes Aurelia, a shifter Princess, who is anything but because of her father’s (The King) hatred for her, who is also forcing her into hiding a very serious secret that she thought she could keep hidden until after she’d made her way to the human university that she planned on attending.

She is sent to a home one day to do some healing work for a older man her father sent her to help. Later on her path becomes intertwined when she meets three of her five mates that she was warned about at the age of thirteen. After finding out that her own freedom is very short lived, she’s told that she’s to wed the old man with whom her father sent her to help. This is where the story takes some twists and turns and quite a bit is revealed, including her secret.

This is the first book in a New Adult MFMMMM 5 book series where the heroine has five fated mate love interests that will form a bonded group.

If you like the following tropes:

🦅fated mates
🦅found family
🦅hidden identity
🦅hidden powers
🦅slow-mid burn

Pick this book up! The narrators: Ryan Lee Dunlap, Oliver Highpoint, Sean Masters, Callis Storm, Jonathan Waters, Maeve York are all AMAZING and you will not be disappointed.

 In a world of vicious beasts, if you are not a predator, you are prey. 

This is not your typical why-choose/reverse harem series at all.  I received this as ALC along with the prequel, Her Vicious Beasts and I honestly couldn't put down the audio.  I was listening to it everywhere I went, the grocery, doctor's appointment, the car and at work 😊 The narration was a full cast that did AMAZING work.  The cast consisted of: Ryan Lee Dunlap, Oliver Highpoint, Sean Masters, Callis Storm, Jonathan Waters and Maeve York.

I'm fully obsessed with this series, the prequel sucked me in and this book was no different. This story continues to follow Aurelia, Savage, Scythe and Xander as they try to navigate life at Animus Academy; which is a prison-school they use to teach feral beasts how to live alongside humans. Think about it to be on the lines of if Darkmore Penitentiary and Zodiac Academy had a baby 😊 They end up there after Aurelia (Lia) is accused of committing a crime she didn't commit and her three mates end up there after making a blood pact with her father to bring her back to him for execution.
The school is headed up by a deputy headmaster, Lyle Pardalia, who happens to be holding on to many secrets himself, that could blow up the plans for everyone involved. 

While Lia is trying to navigate her way around the bogus charges, her mates that she's trying to avoid and having people to talk to and trust for the first time in her life, her time at the Academy is nothing short of insane.  You will fall in love with all of the characters, main and periphery.  It appears that each book will end on a cliffhanger.  This one did and I immediately picked up book 2, Her Rabid Beasts.  I just had to know how the story continues.  I'm doing this one as an immersive read, because you can't just listen to the audiobook, you are living within it.  This was just screaming to me to do both 😊 I can't say more good things about this book and audiobook.  If you love a great plot, a fast paced read, funny, dark and "touch-her-and-die" vibes... this is the series for you.  

The tropes in this book include: 
💗Fated mates
💗Found family
💗Hidden identity
💗Hidden powers
💗Slow-mid burn
💗Academic setting
💗Why-choose/Reverse harem

I'd like to thank E.P. Bali and The Nerd Fam for allowing me to listen to these AMAZING audiobooks.

Ugh! There was just too much going on in this book. Really could have been more than one book and because of this reading order that I’m following now I go to some lighthearted fluffy novella. I’m really getting sick of these novella’s.

Her name is Kendra, Kenny as her father calls her. Imagine, if you will, you have to leave the apartment with little to know warning because of a crappy roommate situation and must move across country to Colorado to move in with your father that you’ve never lived with before at the age of 32.  Sounds amazing, right? 😊 

Wanting one more night of freedom before the inevitable end of her social existence, Kendra, decides to stay in town at a hotel and go out to dinner at a local bar.  Her eyes land on HIM!  Who is he?  He’s a silver-haired fox with a body out of this world and goes by the name of Luther. The chemistry is instant and so is the attraction – which leads to her calling him “Daddy” all night long. 😉

A week later after settling in with her father, Kendra (Kenny) is meeting her dad’s best friend, Rocky, for the first time.  Enter the man that she called “Daddy” - Luther or Rocky, as everyone else calls him.  She had a one-night stand with her father’s best friend!

This was such a great read.  I found myself routing for them from the very beginning.  They go through so many twists and turns and have so many secrets between them all.  You can’t help but stay turning pages. S.J. Tilly knows how to write a book with some witty banter and AMAZING spice. This is the second book in a three-book series, Mountain Men - and I can’t wait for the final book. 

This book is releasing on July 31st.  I can’t wait…and I can’t wait for the audiobook of this one as well – I will for sure be ready for it.

Tropes in this book:
💗Age gap
💗Dad's best friend
💗Small town
💗One-night stand

Thanks to Smuthood and S.J. Tilly for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
