Oh my god!!  I can’t even right now. Demise absolutely blew my mind. I am usually so good at figuring out what’s gonna happen next but this book took me by surprise at each turn. And if you’ve ever read anything by Katelyn Taylor you know her spice is high and immaculate. Every scene is hot but the MM ones practically melted my panties off. The story was great and the bond between Skyla and her all her men was strong. The whole book was amazing but those last few chapters had me screaming!!!! What an ending. And the epilogue was chefs kiss.

You ever want to be someone else, just for one night. Maybe be sultry Scarlett instead of just Amelia. And maybe do things you would never do, like going up yo a very handsome man’s hotel room. Well that’s the world get pulled in Promise Me Forever. But we wouldn’t be reading a Sadie Kincaid book unless there was a twist, and the twist….that hot hunk of a man Charlie (really Drake) was her new boss!! Yup, what a way to start your first day. The absolute want you could feel coming off of Drake and the was so delicious. Both of them agreeing to keep it professional because Amelia needed the job and the insurance to care for her sick mom. And Drake was a lover of Shibari, which I always find so yummy. Amelia’s bonds with Emily and Kimmy is one of my favorite parts. We all deserve friends like Amelia has. There was such a great story about giving love a chance and never being scared to take the leap.  The spicy was so good and we get it from the start and it’s so hot (you will be fanning yourself). And guess who we get a cameo from? Our favorite’s, the Ryan boys. Sadie Kincaid does something in her books that make me fall in love every single time.

I was sucked in to the world of The Love Fixers from the first few chapters. Poor Claire gets fired from her job, then finds out her dad, isn’t her dad. Talk about having a crazy day. Not only did Claire’s bio dad pass away, but she has to go to Marshall, North Carolina to settle his estate. Declan happens to be sitting next to Claire on the plane and turbulence was so bad they thought the end was near,so  they share a hot smooch. Fate is a funny thing, they both miss a connecting flight and share a van to Marshall, NC. The chemistry is hot but when they realize Declan was her dad’s neighbor, Declan shuts it down. Our grumpy MMC has secrets, and he doesn’t like to get close to anyone. I loved the banter between these two and my gosh was this funny. And there’s a mystery that needs to be solved which just makes things so much more fun.

Oh my gosh I can’t not begin to explain how much I loved Fragile Heart, not only is it emotional but it’s also fun and spicy. When Brielle movies to be near her bestie after her garbage husband dies, she never expects her life to be flipped upside down. Ethan the Alpha she had a fling with 10 years earlier is just is hot as ever, but also cold. Caleb is a sunshine kinda guy and he went after what he wanted with Brielle and there chemistry is so hot. The whole book I was waiting for Ethan to come to his damn senses.  The fact that Caleb was a hot Alpha that flew planes and helped fight fires and Ethan was more of a hot Alpha cowboy was absolutely delicious. The sisterhood that Brielle had with Liv, Emily and Melissa was so amazing. You’ve gotta have your besties in your corner when going through rebuilding your life. This was my first book by Jillian and it was freaking fantastic. I’m officially a big fan

What would it be like to end up married to your BFF after a marriage pack? We find out in The Proposal Play that follows long time besties Asher (Hot Hockey Player) and Maeve ( Artist).  Not only is this a great story with the most hilarious banter between these besties and lots of yummy spice but theres a lot of emotion. Watching these two separately trying to decide how to handle  their changing  emotions was probably my favorite part: There wasn’t a thing I didn’t adore about this audio book, the duet narration is always my favorite. Robert Hatchet and Vanessa Edwin played Asher and Maeve to perfection. Robert has a nice deep voice that made those scenes HOT. The last several chapters had me tearing up but then cheering for these two. Another amazing book by Lauren Blakely. 

Abducting Sarah: A Why Choose Planet Orhon Alien Romance Trilogy: SARAH BOOK ONE by Brenna Sinclair

adventurous hopeful fast-paced

4.0

Abducting Sarah was one of my first Spicy Si-Fi reads and let me say wow. The story was super interesting and the world building was great. And the spice was next level, like so hot. These aliens (Jac and Deacon) guys needed a human to help save them, and Sarah does just that. The quirk that made her odd as a human made her powerful and needed in an alien world. Jac was the one who took Sarah on Deacon’s orders, and boy did she put up a fight. What Jac didn’t expect is that he would be so attracted to his boss/friend’s consort. I was so surprised by how much I loved this spicy si-fi romance that I think I found a new trope to obsess over.

I love Lauren Rowe and The Reed Rivers Trilogy  (Bad Liar, Beautiful Liar and Beloved Liar) was perfection. I love that we get Reed and Georgie’s whole love story in one place, it’s hard to wait for each book. We have Reed  who is started from nothing and clawed his way to the top. And Georgie was working at a bar while completing her degree in journalism. Georgie is all about her family, following her dreams and her personality was spicy as hell. She didn’t take anything from anyone including Reed, even though she wanted him (badly). But when they finally do come together it’s freaking fireworks. We also have some heavy subjects that were written in a way that was completely empowering for everyone. Watching the evolution of Reed Rivers was my favorite part. Jacob Morgan captured Reed’s cocky jerk persona perfectly, and his voice was so yummy. Andi Arndt’s  snark and sass was perfect for the fiery Georgie. Over all an absolute amazing story that I spent the whole day listening to and enjoying every second.

I was not prepared for how great this book was. I loved Bianca’s kind heart from the jump, because who else would share her number with a girl she just meet on the street looking for help on her career? And Knox was such a great guy, he left his home town to move to NYC to help his girlfriend Rina reach her dreams. But when Rina dumped Knox and moved to Spain my heart broke for him, he was just left behind. And if not his friendship with Bianca I feel things would have been much worse for him. But when Mr. Morelli told his to resign before he was fired ( a protective dad as always), he left. I love how close all the Morelli sisters are and their group chats are so funny! I wish I had that type of camaraderie with my siblings. And this love triangle, I can’t believe that Rina and Bianca both want Knox and won’t back down. And Knox is sitting here kinda not fully say no to his Ex but saying yes to Bianca! My god you will be on the edge with this one. I loved everything about it, Dani Ryan’s writing is so good.

I went in completely blind to Forced Proximity and let me just say wow. The story was compelling and I loved each and every character.  When Eve starts at Meadowridge College she never thought she would end up living with 4 super hot students and 1 hot professor but here she is. I loved watching how Eve’s relationship with Professor Ethan Sullivan, Andrew (US president’s son),  Brodie (famous actor), Connor ( Ethan’s Brother/underworld )  Haze (mercenary) were all so different but special. Well mostly because  few of these guys can be huge jerks. And they are all holding a secret about Eve that she has no idea about it. I am here for all these guys but the hot professor, Mr. Sullivan is chefs kiss, I’ll meet him in the library anytime.  I tore through Forced Proximity in one sitting and let me say that cliffhanger left me messed up. What happens next?!?! I have to know! Please tell me!!!!! Five Star book y’all.

Undeniably Married is probably my favorite book in the Bostons Irresistible Billionaires series. It’s got a reverse age gap, boy falls first vibe that I’m here for. If you’ve read other books in this series you will see some friends from other books. But don’t worry, this can be enjoyed as a standalone. I loved Mason, he was caring and sweet , and still a tough football player. The hearing impaired rep was spectacular too. And Sorel was a good girl who always put others first, until she found out the day before her wedding that her fiancé was cheating with her best friend. Then she chose herself and walked out of the wedding. And who walking in at that moment? Mason. They took off and went to Vegas, and what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there. This is a really amazing story about learning to love and trust again as well as fighting for what and who you want. J Saman has a way of blending story’s with scorching spicy so seamlessly. Ok now let’s talk about the narrators for Undeniably Married, Dane Anderson had the perfect deep growly voice I pictured in my mind for Mason. And Emma Wilder perfectly captured all things Sorel, from the hurt to spice. This audio book had me fanning myself because it was H-O-T HOT!
