Maid for the Yakuza - Review

Image
This book showcased something that we as woman would love from our men...emotional intelligence. Katsuo is a really good man and even though he still made mistakes he was willing to accept and love everything about Portia. He helped her to rediscover a part of her that she almost forgot existed. There wasn't many times that I had an issue with the things that he did. Even when Portia had a problem, I was willing to overlook it because he was so amazing. I will say I was a little surprised by what happened at the end of this book. I did not suspect that at all. My only thing with Katsuo was that he was very much kill happy. Someone got in his way, it was time to kill them. I did like that everyone was accepting of not only Portia being black but also her kids and Takeshi. I thought there would be more issues brought up than there was but it all just...worked out.  The spice in this book was plentiful and good. Portia and Katsuo kept it spicy for us. Definitely a 4 out of...

End of the Month Wrap Up - January 26

I can't believe January is already over! It seemed like it breezed by, we were just celebrating the holidays and here we are, in February already. Since this is the first wrap up for this year, I want to use this time to state what I want from this year in my book world. A resolution of sorts. I want to get you guys this wrap up as soon as I can. I usually end up holding back on it since sometimes I am reading something that I want to finish and hope to get done before the month ends. So you'll probably never get this on the first of the new month but more so around this time of the month. Hopefully, I won't have to double up like I did with some of them last year. I also want to get the video wrap ups out and done around the same time or at least, before the middle of the month. I am working on getting better with editing so we will see how that works. This year, I am hoping to read 100 books again! So far, we are starting out on fire! This month I managed to read 16 books...

Vicious Society - Review

Image
  This was a good conclusion to the story for Xavier and Delilah, although I really want to see if he sticks to his plan and gets married to Delilah. We get to see the conclusion of the trials and these two really accept each other as they navigate through this dangerous world. Delilah did get on my nerves a few times. She was brave at the oddest times. Then again we do see her have this random heart defect that seemed to come out of no where. I was a little surprised when this turn happened. It didn't really add anything to the story other than to show just how ruthless Xavier is when it comes to making sure that Delilah is safe. Also some of the side characters, while good really took a back seat here. Other than her foster brother we don't get to see much of anyone else. I almost forgot about her roommate until we randomly see her again and that's it for her. She was such a driving force in the first one that it was surprising to see her kinda disappear in this one. Then...

Gild - Review

Image
I've decided to start another series re-read! This one has unraveled slower than I remember it happening when I originally read it. I think if just this book was out and I didn't have the others to dive into immediately, then I would have probably put this one down and now come back to it. I say that because this world and everything in it takes awhile to develop. The characters, are written well enough that it doesn't really take you long to latch onto them. When they go away you definitely miss their presence. Even the ones that we aren't meant to like, you remember them. Even if some of them we never will get a chance to like, you kinda understand why they feel the way they do. Just from the moments that they interact with our FMC. In this book we really only get things from Auren's POV. We get one small chapter of Midas but otherwise it's all her. The world is a little sad when viewed through her lens.I definitely want more for her. You can definitely see wh...
