Prepared for Her Pleasure: Victorian Erotic Romance by Elizabeth Roubaix

adventurous funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

This was hilarious, the husband and wife biting back and forth were bants, bants, bants. Hero was cruel but the heroine needed to receive at least one paroxysm in her fifteen years of marriage and if the hero won't do it, the doctor will and the maid will too

Thanks to Sloan Spencer for the review copy, the following is my honest review.

First of all, I dare you to read the whole book and not have the Every Breath You Take song stuck in your head. Secondly, if you've seen any of the rugby players warm up videos and them thick thighs, you'd be like me going "Hey, we need more rugby romance." Well, Sloan Spencer has got you covered. This one has TWO rugby players and their bubble butt personal trainer. Everyone wins. Also they got amazing families, except for the heroine, hers suck but everyone else was great.

This was two idiots in love with each other but their timeline never matched up and when it started to look like a love triangle, turns out everyone wanna bang everyone. Light angst and full of longing until hero2 took charge to be the mastermind and made hero1 watch from the cuck chair to bring forth confrontation. It's brilliant. Happy Valentine's Day, y'all.

I still need to read the first one in the series.

4.0

Typical Hazelwood, tall pining hero and a heroine who doesn't get it, like why is she confused by his boner but there's 69. I ain't mad about it. What I am mad about is the hero hates on Persona, he can get in the bin.

The Moon and His Tides by Giana Darling

adventurous emotional tense medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Another book attacking the elderly aged 30 and over but good thing it's super hot so I felt better about my frail bones. The hero1 is 18 going on 80, weight of the world on his barely dropped balls' shoulders and he became a third in a marriage that's barely kept together. It's book 1 of 3 so it ends as you expect it. I can't wait for book 2, hurt me some more Giana Darling.

A first Hoyt I read that had eating it from the back AND I LIVEEEEEE. This book was FERAL even for Hoyt and I can't get enough of the hero and heroine being their basest and letting their inner animals out.

Ayyy valentine's day special. We got 3 separate stories of a scheming actress doing what it takes to be a big star, a pining brother-in-law and a take advantage step-daddy. I love it, they're all smashing and also hilarious.

Accidentally Kidnapping the Cowboy by Chloe Maine

3.0

Hmmm, bonkers premise aside, I didn't buy much into their insta love. I suppose the hero got bonked on the head so he's dazed and confused. The heroine was desperate so that explained her instalove but it didn't feel organic and was abrupt. I wish it was more flushed out cause the circumstances they found themselves in was interesting.

Thanks to Chloe Maine for the review copy and this is my honest review.

What an action packed duet, absolutely delightful end to end. I love all the fierce women in this, kicking ass and being capable af. And the pack, oh they're too much, so sweet and feral for their ass-kicking omega.

Her Mountain Man Beast by Elena Dawne

emotional inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

Fooking Elena Dawne has done it again. This was inspired. I loved everything about it. The hero is so gone for her in the most basest, most primal ways and he's so tortured and didn't think he's worthy. Heroine is sassy and goes after what she wants and that's the beastly man who reads books she recommends and teaching romance heroes a thing or two about eating properly.
