This was so cute and of course funny! Rush is an absolute hot mess who I absolutely adore and love and I understand completely! I was glad to see Hunter trying to learn all of Rush and to understand him and he truly was the calm to Rush's chaotic beautiful mess! The open communication between them was great! And boy did these two have some great steamy scenes! I can’t wait till Maddens book comes out, I have a feeling that one is gonna be fun lol!

Absolutely love these two! Seven and Molly….the back and forth with these guys is flipping hilarious! The tension is fire!!! Their connection is everything! The flirting is sexy and funny. I am loving this series so far and all the roommates are like brothers, their found family is a colorful bunch and each of them are incredible in their own ways! I really really need an Xavier book asap. He is so damn adorable! Onto Rush’s book now!

Davey and Mack's story hit me with all the emotions! Some of what they felt and what they were dealing with hit a little too close to home. I'm happy Mack finally left delulu land and saw reality lol! These two finding their way back to one another was an emotional fun ride! The divorce and two years apart were absolutely needed for these two to figure out who they were! The love that they have is beautiful. i really enjoyed this one and I feel like it was a great way to end this series!

Saying goodbye to the Divorced Men's Club is bittersweet! I am going to miss these guys so much especially Art lol! Hopefully at some point we will get to see these guys again and catch up with how they are and what they are up too!

Best friends dad is the trope here and while I love Keller and Will and their dynamic I didn’t get enough of them the way I wanted. And I totally get why both were worried about Molly and how he’d feel but I think this story was to focused on that instead of Keller and Will’s story. It was still a wonderful read and I love the characters and all the banter was as always funny and the best. This I think is the slowest burn of all the divorced men’s club books even as slow as it was I found it to be a good read still! Onto the final book in the series!!

Each book that comes out in this series makes me fall more and more in love with these characters. Art and Joey are absolutely hilarious! Their back and forth flirty banter was so damn funny! The chemistry they have is undeniable and hottttt! I enjoyed this book so much. I laughed so many times while reading it. The group chat conversations is probably one of the best things with all these book! Lol

I finally got around to reading Hell House and it did not disappoint!!!! I’m sure if I was able to read this in the 70s when it was first published I would have thought it to be somewhat scary. Today, that would be a no, but I still absolutely enjoyed it. It is definitely a suspenseful and intense read. Constantly had me wanting to know more and needing to know what was next! It keeps you on the edge almost the whole time. This is a fun, creepy, suspenseful, amazing haunted house story! If you haven't yet give Hell House a read, you want be disappointed!

This is on the horror erotic side, as well as dark romance so PLEASE if you have any triggers absolutely check the CW in this before diving in! If you don’t I highly suggest jumping in for a spicy fun twisted ride!!! 

 

Unhinged…..this book is a twisted crazy unhinged hot mess and I’m absolutely in love with all of it!!! I’m so here for Neo and Lyla. The Joker and Harley Quinn vibes are everything. 🖤 I couldn’t stop reading, I finished this in one sitting and really didn’t want it to end! 

 

Neo……..ummm good god this man, he is a sexy sick man and gives absolutely no f*cks and well I have fallen in love 😅 This man has got me in a chokehold 🖤😉 

 

Lyla……this beautiful sweet woman doesn’t know what she has gotten herself into but once she meets Neo her whole world is flipped upside down and she begins to find out who she truly is!! I can’t wait to read book two and see what these two are up too!

Well I am so very sad that The King Verran Brothers stories are all finished. I am going to miss these crazy possessive brothers and their badass mates!! 

 

I think Finnian’s story ended the series beautifully! I don't think I laughed so much in the other two books as I did in this one! The banter between Finn and Taryn was the best, then adding everyone from the other two books in with their banter and brotherly back and forth nonsense was hilarious! Finn and Taryn’s connection was absolutely beautiful and how their story came about was incredible! I felt like I was on this journey with them! 

 

The spiciness in this is on point and the shibari play was *chef’s kiss * absolutely loved how much Finn cared for her and knew her needs without even asking! 

 

I’m really going to miss this world and the characters. I hope Maxwell decides to visit the world again. Hopefully with Dmitri’s story because I would love to know everything about him lol

For as short as this is it sure does pack a creepy punch! I went in to this story completely blind and I’m glad I did! The creep factor was great! Somewhat reminded me of the Ring or the Grudge. I’m curious to see what else this author comes up with in the future, Kenny is definitely an author to keep an eye on!!!

Well, well, well, that was one hell of a story!!! A very interesting revenge story!! 

 

I want to start with if you have any triggers at all please check them before reading this. 

 

This story as horrific as it is, was so beautifully written. What makes The Boyfriend so terrifying is that for the most part this can really happen. I was obsessed right away. I was in a constant state of needing to know what was next, what the next move was, how this was going to play out! It’s a story that captures you from the start and makes you think twice about the people around you!
