Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom by Gypsy-Rose Blanchard

fast-paced

4.0

I can’t wait for her full length memoir. This book is full of transcripts from phone conversations between her and Melissa. Pretty much interview questions were asked and Gypsy answered them. If you’ve read up on the case and watched the series you probably have heard about most of the things mentioned. It was still an interesting read. 

Unhinged by Vera Valentine

fast-paced

2.0

Good girl? No. Good Boy? Nope. Good Door? Yes, that’s much better 🤣 I was really hoping I would love this one but it was kind of boring 🙈 I thought “the door” could have been more exciting. I mean think of all the things he sees on a daily basis. The storyline is super interesting and I did enjoy parts of it. I want to know who in their right mind would screw a doorknob 🤣 I just… hmmm… I… yeah. 

Renegade Ruin by Hayden Locke

medium-paced

4.0

Well damn… I wasn’t expecting this much sadness in the beginning of the book. I had read the synopsis when it was released but I of course forgot what it was about. Bishop & Willow won over my heart in Midnight Renegade so I knew I would enjoy this one. It had been awhile since I read the novella so my memory of it was a little foggy. Luckily Hayden has our backs and put a refresher in the beginning. I still highly suggest reading “Midnight Renegade” but it isn’t necessary with her little summary of what had happened in the beginning of this one. Bishop & Willow are perfect for each other but it takes them awhile to fully see it. The angst was so so good and the steam 🥵 was piping hot!!! Both MCs are going through so much grief and are there for each other in certain ways and they think they won’t catch feelings 🤣 so you can only imagine the push and pull that this book brings. I thought it was very well written and although it did feel long, I really loved the pacing of it. I haven’t read a lot of baseball romances but when I’m in the mood for one I always think of Hayden Locke and her series “The Draft” and how I need more of the Renegades!!! 

Inside Out by Demi Moore

challenging dark emotional informative sad fast-paced

5.0

I was browsing through nonfiction books came across this one. I only knew of a few films that Demi Moore starred in and I knew she was married to Bruce Willis and later married Ashton Kutcher. I knew nothing else. I had no idea I would be able to relate to her so much during her childhood years. Her upbringing could have easily been mine had my mom went down the same route as Demi’s mom and in some ways she did. I wanted to reach through the book and hung Demi so many times. Her childhood was rough! Most of the book is about her childhood and what she went through and then her getting into show business. I found her relationship with Bruce and then with Ashton very insightful. I know it’s only one side of the relationships but I felt like she was very raw and took ownership in her own faults as to why the relationships didn’t work out. Demi struggled with addiction which is another thing I didn’t know much about. Seeing her fight that battle was very eye opening and even fighting with herself over her body image. At one point in the book she mentioned how she put everyone else before her and tried to be the opposite of her mom and I felt that so much.  This book was a lot! Demi is so strong and it was very brave of her to talk about her life from start until the age of 55. I hope her life is brighter from here on out, she deserves it 🫶

Fate at Fault by Andi Simmons

fast-paced

3.0

This novella started out promising but the more it went on the more I really didn’t care for Stacy. She was a bit boring. I understand she was with a man WAY older than her and wasn’t getting the attention she needed but she was so damn bland. I would say it’s because she lost her husband but honestly she didn’t seem like she gave two shits about him. Nina and Marcus were so much fun and then there was Stacy. The spicy scenes were definitely hot and I’m pretty sure they are the only reason I finished this novella. Well that and the fact that is pretty short and I was already committed to finishing it. 

Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow

Hmmmmmm… that was… something. The fact a pillow is that obsessed with their person, a human man could never. 🤣 WTF did I just read? It was good but I did get a little bored. It’s a super quick read and it was interesting that she helped build his cock. Like she got to pick the size she wanted any everything. If only that was a real thing hahaha the way he came had me dying laughing. It was a fun time. 

Rake by Nicole Parker

fast-paced

5.0

I’m so easy to please when it comes to novellas like this. If I’m entertained and love the characters then normally it’s an instant 5⭐️. This one was such a good time and the ending was cute. It’s only 35 pages but I thought the story flowed nicely. What can I say other then I love rake smut 😉

The Time of My Life by Patrick Swayze

medium-paced

5.0

I’ve been a Patrick Swayze fan since I was a young girl. I remember watching “Dirty Dancing” at an age I had no bother doing so. My Barbie’s would reenact the final dance scene constantly. When the world lost Patrick they lost one of the best actors in the business, in my opinion. Reading this book completely solidified my feelings on that. This man was badass!!! Patrick and Lisa were married for 33 years and their love was beautiful. It’s mentioned in the book that they struggled with their marriage and almost ended things but chose to keep fighting. People these days are so quick to end their relationships and it makes me sad. Marriage isn’t a joke. Those vows you say at the alter need to be in the front of your mind at all times. Will you screw up? Yes. Will you two argue and have your differences? Most likely. But you should never just walk away without at least trying and BOTH people need to try. Patrick & Lisa’s marriage is one for the books. I’m so happy I read this book! 

Bagged by the Groceries! by Fannie Tucker

fast-paced

2.0

I’m not a fan of how the author had a “preview” in the beginning and then just had those parts word for word in the actual story so I had to read it twice. I really hoped this would be a fun read but honestly it was boring and grossed me out. Carrots for fingers? Yogurt? 🤢 the phrase I hate the most in books is “a pregnant pause” so when I read “a kiss pregnant with hunger” it INSTANTLY got added to the list of phrases I hate. Yeah, unfortunately this was a big huge no from me. I mean I knew I wouldn’t think groceries were hot and now I know even if they are shaped like a man, it’s still a big hell no from me. 

Jack by Layla Fae

fast-paced

3.0

He tastes like Halloween which means he tastes like Pumpkin Spice 🔥 this was a fun read. The writing was definitely not my favorite. The way the story was told made me feel very disconnected. It’s literally a novella about a witch screwing a pumpkin headed man. That’s it.
