Ahhhh Ford MF’in Grant 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Elsie Silver truly never disappoints. Wild love is a slow burn, small town, brother’s best friend, single dad, billionaire romance. Taking place in the rural town of Rose Hill British Columbia, Rosie Belmont finds herself pulled back to her hometown after losing her job in the big city. When she reconnects with her brother’s best friend Ford, their connection is undeniable.
The burn was extra slow but that tension build was HAWT HAWT HAWT. Very worth it. If you enjoy small town romance, Elsie Silver’s work is not to be overlooked. Wild Love was a heartwarming read that I will be recommending for years to come.
Do you love a cutesy pink cover that contains a MMC with an undeniably filthy mouth? Step right up because this book is up to bat.

Aleron is to be protected at all costs 🥺🥹
Loved this installment to the series. Took me a bit longer than usual since there was quite the journey in this one, but overall thoroughly enjoyed Aleron’s and Gideon’s stories. Without spoilers you do get to see some past favorite characters in this one, which I ate up 🤪 I like that we’re slowly but surely learning more and more about the Witch Owl & Weldier. Looking forward to the next one because y’all know these are some of my all time favorites.

Such a change of pace from my normal choices and I loved it!
With all the hype around the new season being released, I figured I’d give the audiobooks a try- the first on didn’t disappoint. Daphne and Simon’s love story was heartwarming and lighthearted. I found myself completely immersed in a world of regency. The narration was perfect keeping me highly engaged throughout the entire book. There’s a lot of similarities to the tv adaptation but you also get a little more depth in the story I think.
Just a dash of spice which was plenty, it wasn’t overdone which I like. I’m looking forward to continuing with this realm.

All Aboard The Powerless Hype Train 🚂🚂🚂
I caved, and by the end I can say that I loved it. There were moments in the middle between 30-60% that yes, I did feel some hunger games similarities… BUT overall this is definitely a work of its own. By 60% I was sure this was going to be a 3.5 or 4 star read, but the ending really pulled through to bring it up to 4.75 for me.
There’s a lot of books in the fantasy realms that have similarities to one another, tropes and plot points that can be related to previous reads- that doesn’t deter me from reading them.
Where can I get myself a Kai????? 👀😋 The writing was engaging and easy to read, & I was foaming at the mouth with the witty interactions between Kai and Paedyn. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book because that cliffhanger was criminal.

This series was so much fun for me.
Really reminded me of a mix between criminal minds and dexter. Lana and Logan’s HEA made my heart so warm and every book just got better and better. The supporting characters are great as well, I love Jake & Hadley.
Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed every installment along the way. I 100% recommend these to anyone looking for a good suspense thriller with romance undertones. Not nearly as smutty as I would’ve assumed with the covers, but it was just right.

You gotta be kidding me with these cliffhangers man 😳
Each book is darker and more suspenseful. I have to go straight into the next one, otherwise I might have a conniption. Thoroughly enjoying these 🫡

These continue to get better and better with each book! Really love the way Lana and Harley’s relationship started growing in this third one, I hope they become friends (at least I feel like they will!). These have me on the edge of my seat and laughing out loud during certain moments.
It gets a bit darker each book as well as Lana unravels more of her past. She went through some truly traumatic things and I love the justice unfolding along the way.

Aight first off these cliff hangers are criminal 😭
Love that I can devour these audios within a few hours of cleaning on 2X speed. You really get some more of Lana’s past experiences in this one as her background unfolds. There’s definitely some more triggers in this one so please be sure to check them out. Especially if you cannot do dark acts pertaining to children, this might not be for you.
I’m loving the vigilante justice, it’s like criminal minds x dexter in these except female 🔪🔪. I feel like things are really about to take off, so I can’t wait to continue!

This was fun! Great on audio as well.
Told from alternating POV’s this romantic suspense novel had me interested right out of the gate. It was reminding me of Dexter, but the lady is a killer 🔪
Loving watching how Lana & Logan’s banter and relationship is panning out. Going to go straight into listening to the next one bc that cliffhanger was criminal. No pun intended.

She’s a 10, but she gang b*ngs 5 imaginary men after murdering evil souls.
Wow, whoopsie. Guess I fell down the rabbit hole. And I liked it. I usually say no pleasures are guilty in my world, but I may have to repent after these 180 pages.
Sibby, my little delulu psycho, I love you so. She’s an icon, a legend, beauty, grace, and Ms. United States. I ate it up. Those group scenes were complete sin and filth. I got what I was looking for and THEN SOME.
