Not Safe For Work - Nisha J. Tuli
Once again, Nisha has completely won me over with her lovable characters and immersive writing. As a romantasy reader first and foremost, I don’t typically gravitate toward Romance only books. I often find them lacking that extra something to keep me fully invested. However, this slow-burn romance where both characters are clearly obsessed with each other but too stubborn to admit it grabbed me from the very start. There were moments when I found myself genuinely giggling and kicking my feet, and others when I was yelling at my kindle, begging the characters to get their act together. If you’re a fan of the only one bed trope and love a good slow burn, you’ll devour this book.
As a woman working in a non-traditional role within a male-dominated industry (I’m an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer), it was incredibly refreshing to see this experience portrayed with such honesty and accuracy. Nisha has shared that this story is deeply personal to her and based on her own experiences as an engineer. Personally, I believe the only way to change the narrative in these fields is to talk about it, share these stories, and learn from them. So, thank you, Nisha, for sharing this part of your journey.
Thank you Nisha, Read forever and netgalley for this advance review copy.

Let me start by saying that when my friends mentioned they were considering reading a book featuring a female Hercules. A female Hercules? Are you kidding me?! You have my attention. Then they told me it was a reverse harem, and I was completely sold.
Alexis, hooked me right from the start with her self-deprecating humor and sarcastic wit. Her sometimes silly comments only made her more relatable and endearing, and I found myself attached to her and her story. The male leads each brought something unique to the table, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with them as well.
If you’re a fan of the deadly trial or magical academy tropes, this book is a must-read. The crucible, where the story unfolds, is the perfect blend of both, and it delivers one of the slowest burns I’ve ever read. Honestly, there were moments where I was practically begging for the romance to heat up, but trust me, it was absolutely worth the wait.
I’m officially obsessed, and I will be begging the publisher for an ARC of the next book. What do you want from me? A kidney? My soul? I’d even offer a firstborn if I had one

This book was not good, but I will read the next one. It was like the author said to herself “how many tropes can I include?”, while also using her thesaurus a lot.
I enjoyed it.

Once again I am absolutely enamoured with the strong, confident, plus size female character that Amy Writes.
To be able to read books about characters with bodies like mine is and continues to be a breath of fresh air.
This is no mistaking the body type of these characters, there is no way to skinny wash these characters and erase their fatness.
The Story of Mac, Sara Jayne and their absolutely chaotic goose Sir Honksalot, is both wildly chaotic and absolutely adorable. How they managed to get out of this unscathed is beyond me but it was fun to watch it all happen.
Seeing some of our beloved Kingman men before they were the sexy confident football players we've all come to love was really cute and I enjoyed seeing their mother and the bond they had with her, as someone who has also lost a parent very young I understand the experiences they go through in these books.
This cute little Christmas novella was the perfect little prequel we didn't know we needed.
