Long For - Review

-
 

This is the story of Emma and Aiden who we met in the first book Lust For. This book kinda followed the save format as the first book. One of them was in full blown denial of the relationship at first and then gave in eventually after much angst. Then everything was actually pretty great for Emma and Aiden. They had the mini scandal like Derek and Audrey but definitely not as crazy. It was a nice read. My only gripe is something that I actually noticed in the first book that continued with this book. The internal monolog. Normally I find in books when the character we're following at the time has ab moment when they are having thoughts that's just for us the reader, then it's like no time passes in the context of their normal conversation or whatever is going on. In these two books for some reason it's not like that. The other characters notice the silence or the moment and are constantly asking if the character we're following are OK. It was a little jarring at times because it interrupted the flow of some conversations. Also for this book, Emma was very annoying in the beginning. Like girl, this the man you've always wanted and you're holding off for what? Like I understand her reasoning but the back and forth felt silly after awhile. Other than those things I liked this book. Though the first one will always have a place in my heart and of the two is my favorite. 
     The spice was pretty good in this book. When Emma finally allowed herself to enjoy Aiden that is. I did find it weird that they were still using condoms even after they were together and she was already pregnant. I do appreciate this authors dedication to safe sex though. Always wrap it up kids if you're not in a committed relationship or not ready for the responsibilities that come with parenthood. Not every guy is an Aiden! I give the spice a 3 out of 5. Overall I gave this book a 3 out of 5. If the angst in the beginning was a little shorter I'd have ranked it higher. The second portion of the book flowed so much better than the beginning once that angst was over. Then learning how to make the relationship work was more interesting than them fighting it for a very small reason. I'm interested in Brent's story so I can't wait to read it! I almost hoped he'd be into a Latina or a big personality girl. The dance we met at the end of this one doesn't seem his type BUT I'm still interested!! 

Pick up Long For when it drops on February 28th!!

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!!
