The Witch's Grave by L.E. Eldridge
adventurous

The spice was really hot. It's a short, dark, sapphic, erotica.
I'm not really a dark romance girly and I could have done with out the gore but ab olutely fitting for Halloween.
It's super short and fast so perfect as a treat.

Tasting Sin by Meg Becker
There is a overprotective, powerful, impeccable dressed Italian with the family and the pizza palace that might only be a front. And she is an orphan, has a Cat named spice and all the cupcakes and gorgeous curves.
Sugar and spice is not just the name of the little cupcake shop, it is also on the menu my friends!
This Mafia romance will have you satisfied and craving for the next book at the same time.

What a magical journey. The characters and the dialogue feels bubbly and alive. The romance is way more spicy than I thought.
It's a perfect Halloween read, because on Halloween the world will end. Okay not the world only this little town. But the evil won't stop it self.

Hexes go well with tequila is such a lovely novel about self-discovery, found family, and female empowerment. The way these wonderful women create a friendship and a safe space for each other is wonderful.
This book is perfect for the Halloween season, it has magical realism, a be utiful house I would definitely wabt to live in, and romance with a mighty delicious man.
Warning do not read this book while hungry, the food descriptions are porn*graphic.

I went in blind. Oh boy. Read the trigger warnings bevor you read this.
It made me laugh, it made me sobb so bad and it made me think.
Elisabeth is such a fierce woman. She is a no nonsense woman who knows what she is worth and capable of.
Set in a time where it is not acceptable for women to be anything more than a mother and married.
I would definitely recommend this book for any person to see how far we have come and what still needs work for true equality.

I thought it would be smut. It was not. There is a lot of tension and yearning but nothing untill 80%of the book.
There is also not that much plot. It's not bad plot it's just very slow.
Not what I was expecting but that was absolutely my problem.
It's still a solid read.
The second book sounds very intriguing...

The perfect end to the trilogy. It didn't feel rushed or forced. A worthy end to such a great series.

Could have been 200 pages and still okay. That's a lot of pages and not much plot. ...

This is the prequel to the Book My favorite Stepbrother. It is how the two protagonist meet and get to know each other. you lern the dynamics of there relationship, how they meet and get to know each other and that from a dual POV. The sexual tension is so heavy and hot ... Really good.
I'm very excited to read the first book because this book has me begging for more.
Tropes that spoil the plot:
Good girl
Step siblings
Bad boy good girl
Forced proximity
Voyeurism
sexual education
Jealous
Anxiety coaching
