Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures!

      In this series by K.A. Tucker we get the billionaire bad boy Gabriel and the hard working and fiery Mercy. Mercy is stuck between a rock and a hard place when she meets Gabriel, who proves to be the answer to her prayers. Meeting Mercy, you feel bad for her immediately. She's in a terrible situation with her dad and her mom has already died from drugs. Those things alone make you already attached to her and then to hear the story that led to her dad being in jail.. it all just feels like it could happen to anyone. Definitely made her relatable. Gabriel on the other hand, is supposed to be this hard-core drug dealers play boy son but I definitely don't feel any danger from him or his brother Caleb. All we see from them is the playboy side and not the "I will kill you if you disrespect me" side. I guess that does go along with the fact that both brothers want to get out of the family business. Since we barely see them doing anything other than chasing tail tho, it makes it hard to see them being able to sustain their lifestyle if they do. I guess the night clubs may do it for them but meh. That's my main complaint about the book, is that the men were a little soft. I didn't feel like there was any danger attached to them at all. You never see them have to "handle" any business. So yeah, drug guys who you never see do any deals. They don't talk about it or anything. Was a little strange. 
      The relationship aspect between Gabriel and Mercy was also very slow to develop. Mainly because it felt like they spent more time apart in the story than they did together. Then attraction ran its course and within the final 20% of the book they finally get together. It made me take longer to read this book than it probably should have. So for the overall book, I give it a 3 out of 5. It wasn't bad but it definitely felt like a stepping stone book. The spice was pretty ok once we finally got it. So for that I give it a 2 out of 5. Could have been more and better. Especially after reading the flames from the wolf hotel series.

Am I A Furry?

   I finally decided to take the plunge and start this series. This book was really good and I felt so much for Elise. She has so much happening and to see her experience moments of pure happiness was the most rewarding part of this book. As for the men, whew, I really want to continue this series just to see how she is able to resolve the fact that two of the men are mortal enemies. How are they going to come to terms with each other? They are mortal enemies and their families have hated each other for generations!! The others I can see getting along just because but generational enemies?!?!?! That right there is enough to make me want to finish the series. There are so many things that are thrown in here that I'm like, GIVE ME MORE!! I have to know what's going on! The principle, what's his deal because I just feel like he's involved some how. Felix Oscura, who does he want dead enough to involve Ryder? Who is the King? Is it Cindy Lou? Is the name there t

End of The Month Wrap Up- September '23

   We are here again with another End of the Month Wrap Up. It's crazy to say that I can't believe it again but we have burned through this month in a blink. I have gone on a trip and come back and here we are, at the end of the month once again!! I didn't do as much reading as I wanted to since I fell into a slump during the middle of the month. Still all of the books that I read were interesting in their own way. So let's see where all these books fell this month!       Favorite Character:   Avery- Avery from Wonder Light is my selection as favorite character of the month!! I loved that she decided to take some time for herself and do something crazy. Sometimes doing something different can be just what we need to shock our systems and can reset us. Especially when we you go through something traumatic. I also loved her location choice! Most of the places that she went to in this book are places that I also visited. Her personality was almost exactly like

The Cliffiest of Cliff Hangers

    Whew,  I received this ARC for a honest review of this book. Let me just say that this was cruel and unusual punishment!! Like the title for this review says, the biggest cliff, in cliffhanger history ends this book.  The next page asks us to wait until next year for the next book.  I won't survive. I will spend the next week writing down theories of how this could continue.      The characters in this book are so memorable!! I love a snarky heroine and her dark hero. These two are actually a match made in... well hell? Darkness? I don't know but I can't wait to read more when the next book in this series drops. I definitely recommend this book!! The spice didn't come to the end but it was hot !! I give the spice 3 out of 5 simply because I wish there was more!! It was so good! Overall I'd rate this book 4 out of 5!! Great works building,  great characters, and plot. Everything is paced nicely and it definitely leaves you wanting more!!
