I love a surprise drop especially when it's from Elizabeth Stephens! It f8cked and it was fun and gory and violent and sexy. I only wish we saw more of the discussions between them towards the end that was the turning point of when she no longer feared him . Had a greattttt time!

If Fionn has no fans I’m gone.
May make this a five upon further reflection.

I really really wanted to love this but it just fell a little flat. I did love how much communication was had for the kink aspects as well as their growth in realizing where they both went wrong the first time. Absolutely will be reading more by this author!

I really liked this one but I was hoping I'd looooove it. The premise is such a good one and I really liked how it explored societal expectations in the gaming world and the role of romance there too. There was just enough side characters that I was able to keep up and get attached but not too many that it took away. The game bros got their comeuppance and being queer was just a fact of life (as it is!!). The romance was solid but it could have been stronger with some resolutions needing to be flushed out a bit more on both sides.

I don't know how this was Tracy's debut. An immaculate story that grips you and never lets you go.

Ballerina and bad boy? Shirking oppressive family responsibilities? Short and not so sweet? Car s*x? Jade has never led me astray and I don't see her starting now. If you want a good time, not a long time, and just enough of a twist to make you gasp and almost forget you're promised your HEA so you panic just a bit but then everything is okay? This is for you bb!
Thank you Jade for my arc!!
