Tell Me Lies - Review

-

 



This book almost felt like a biography. Not in like an educational way but in that this could literally be something that happened to this author and I would not have been surprised. This book had to do with a romance author who was going through some rough times and found that it was hard for her to write. So when a friend decided to help her out and try to give her something else to focus on, she becomes a nanny to a hockey star. Then of course sparks fly and that's the story. Of course there was some drama that happened in between, but this could definitely be someone's real life story...easily. I found that to be an interesting aspect to the story. I can't tell if I liked it or not so I'm just gonna say it was meh. I have been heavily into my contemporary romance era and I'm dying to escape. That could also be part of it. The story itself was good. My only complaint was the slight moment when the characters had a moment of strife with each other. The situation just didn't seem like it needed to be taken as seriously as it was. I mean if it were me, I probably would have come out and said what the issue was as soon as I found out. Instead it was dragged out into something more. Of course the characters were able to get over it and get together but it made for an awkward moment where I was tempted to toss the book out the window. 

The spice in this book was really REALLY good. I enjoyed it. I think the fact that this felt more real world made it that much more intense. I think that even though I have read a lot of romance books with spicy scenes, a lot of them kinda felt far fetched. This one however did not. I appreciate that. I gave the spice a 4 out of 5. Overall I would definitely recommend this book and I think that it was one of the better sports romance books that I have read. I gave it a 4 out of 5! I think that sports romance lovers and contemporary readers will definitely like this one. I was able to pick it up thanks to My Blush Box starting a book club! Look out for more reads from them as I continue with their club! They do also have a discord where we discuss the books.

Binder - ARC Review

Yall, I try not to be long winded when I do my reviews because I don't want to spoil you. Also I try to be a raving looney toon as well but this series is going to probably have the longest reviews I've written. When I say that I am head over heels for these characters, this world, the story. I truly am. Once again we are back in this world meeting so many new faces and some returning! I was so happy to see that Rogan was back! I knew it would throw an interesting wrench between Kara and Flynn and boy did it!! Rogan was just someone who was there briefly in the Prequel Breeder, but he was important to Kara. The fact that he disappeared after what happened in the prequel was investing to me and he always lingered in the back of my mind but never,  did I expect his return to be what it was!! I definitely hope we get a story on him! I just know he has an amazing story to tell!! Cal, is still a wild card for me. There are some people who have lived a long time in this series and Ca...

Daughter of No World's - Review

 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and...

Ruthless King - Review

  This was a spicy and fun read! I really enjoyed getting to know the Sokolov brothers! Their story was tragic and crazy but definitely worth the ride that we went on in this book! This book has what you can expect from an omegaverse book, muscle bound alphas with aggression issues, middle of the road betas and the soft spoken and often over looked omegas. The omegas in this world are pretty much subject to whatever the alpha's want. They are believed to just be bed warmers. I do like the idea that the omega's have power that can only be used to it's full potential if the alpha that bonds them actually cares about them. It makes the men have to actually try to care if they want power. Most of the omega's in this world do not have access to their gifts past puberty due to them not forming bonds that are forged with love. Of course this is something that most alpha's ignore and has been lost, for the most part, to the pages of history. Until vengeance brings these two...
