This series is fascinating to me. Its really great for explaining and teaching BDSM in an accessible and yet fun and flirty way. The ending of this one felt a bit forced but I'll still come back for more.

I keep reading these books and this is number 7, so you'd think I actually love them but it feels more like FOMO?

Beard With Me by Penny Reid
3.0
This book is the darkest and saddest in the series, but it really helps the reader connect with and fall in love with the deeper and kinder side of Billy. After this book, your heart just aches for this relationship.
After the Kiss by Lauren Layne
2.0
I'm trying to write this review two months after I read it and I remember zero specifics but apparently, I gave it two stars. I have definitely loved other books by Lauren Layne but this one didn't do it for me.
Bending the Rules by Susan Andersen
2.0
This book was written over 10 years ago, and it feels like it. I still read the whole series because I'm me and that's what I do, but it felt tired and somehow TOO expected for even the romance novel genre (where sometimes I want things to go exactly as expected). The idea of having three friends that of course, are one blonde, one brunette, and one redhead, annoyed me on a level deeper than was probably necessary.

Love at First by Kate Clayborn

I was so so in love with Love Lettering and had high hopes for this book as well. It was cute, but it did not pull me in and tug on my heart the way Love Lettering did.
Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid
4.0
This book is somehow both heavy and angsty while also having moments of syrupy sweet. I love Roscoe and Simone together so much.
