"You aren't a child, Wendy. You are a bad bitch"

I loved Hooked. It was a perfect alternate version of Peter Pan. The focus on James and Wendy in modern times with a mix up of character roles, their back and forths, ups and downs, was a delight. I would recommend this to someone who prefers their romances dark and enjoys the villain getting the girl.

I loved following Tella's Caraval adventure. There were ups, there were downs, stolen kisses and impossible choices. A great adventure.

Penalized Love focuses around Asher and Isla, former sweethearts forced back into close proximity after a 3 year separation. I very much enjoyed isla and Ashers story, however it was a little on the slow side for my personal taste. I did squee when she was suffering with her period and PCOS flare up and Asher immediately came round to look after her. How freaking sweet!!

Emmeline is barely getting by and dependent on the charity of the only family she has left after her parents cast her out. When her cousin persuades her to try being a sugar baby, she meets Ben and he helps her to discover herself and heal and want the more she's not supposed to have. Age gap romance, HEA, nipple piercings and spice. What more could you want. 

I enjoyed the story of Ben and Emme, watching their relationship develop. Lots of spice and cutesy too.
