This book is almost 600 pages of me falling in love with 4 men at once šŸ˜­

This book caters to those who really like some dark with their romance. 

Jess finds herself in a deal with the ā€œlosersā€ of her hometownā€” she does what they want when they want ā€” and they all want her ā€” and each other.. a lot of stuff is happening here. 
 
This was sexy and made me happy and the banter was great and the spice was SPICYYYY šŸ„µšŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

Yes I already own book 2 and yes I am going to read the novella that I didnā€™t know existed until I was most of the way through book one. I had just hoped that them talking about it in flashbacks and stuff that there would be a chapter or 7 dedicated to The Dare night. So I am going to be reading that šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

I love masked men, I love mafia romance, I love stalker romance, and I love a little ā€œenemies to loversā€ even if itā€™s brief. This books checks them all! The ending scene was šŸ„µšŸ”„ 

Tell me why there was a sexy scene where they are watching SPONGEBOB and he says ā€œexplain to me the scenesā€ like NOOO THATS NOT SEXY!!!! That was weird šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚

ANYWAYS CANT WAIT FOR BOOK 2

I obviously couldnā€™t put this book down bc between sleep and work I managed to read this in less than a day (doesnā€™t happen often as I think Iā€™m a slower reader) 
That being said ā€” I love Hayden šŸ˜‚ heā€™s who I read these kinds of books for. Calista kind of annoyed me. Her back and forth ā€œoh I love him but I want freedom but people ARE clearly trying to kill meā€ and yes a lot of her feelings are valid ā€” I am just impatient and donā€™t like the ā€œbreak upā€ aspect of books. But I obviously loved this book and the story behind it. 

I always get to the last 25% and stress myself out wondering how it will all wrap up like i donā€™t purposefully choose books with a HEA

I enjoyed this a lot. The banter is great between Calista and Hayden ā€” it had me giggling and smiling. Over-bearing and overprotective šŸ„µšŸ„µ idk about the ending yet. I guess I just have to continue on. 4 stars because I donā€™t think i am a fan of the endingā€¦ yetā€¦ maybe.. 

PLEASE CHECK THE TRIGGERS. The plot line that surrounds their romance is DAAARK and has some intense themes!

Is Ryan a good guy or was he also taking advantage? What happened to Scarlettā€™s drug addiction? I had questions obviously going into this ā€” quickly answered since it is a short book. Scarlett going back and forth with her trauma was hard. Seeing herself as weak since she just allowed the bad things to happen to herā€” it took someone like Ryan to show her she was full of strength. Other people had done worse for less. This was hard to read but I read through it quickly. I had to know if she got the HEA

Quick read ā€” veryyyyy dark. If youā€™re into šŸ‡ fantasies, this will be for you.

Scarlett is a SW who meets Aaron ā€” he is into watching her get.. broken.. by other guys.. guys who have dark fantasies of their own. So that Aaron can be the savior. Until he brings in Ryan, who isnā€™t like the guys he usually brings over.

Onto part 2: is Ryan a monster too? Or is he all he says he is?

This book was so cuuuute! Rennick is a golden retriever if I have ever read one before. He literally is so thoughtful and just wants Amelia happy. I love the touch her and die trope. The spice was spicy šŸŒ¶ļø I enjoyed very much. I hate other woman drama but itā€™s inevitable and added a little bit to the story. The main focus was on the development of Rennick and Ameliaā€™s love story while the fantasy elements were just stuff in the background. I didnā€™t really understand much going on fantasy wise but it was easy to keep up bc it truly wasnā€™t important.

I looooved this book!! Easily gonna be a top favorite. 
Josh is hot - Alyssa is a badass. 
Josh is what everyone wants as their boyfriend šŸ„µšŸ„µ
This book really puts emphasis on this being CNC - itā€™s mostly explicit what is allowed and whatā€™s not and youā€™re clear as the reader that both parties are interested quickly in the dynamic set. I like the story that goes along with their relationship ā€” even tho their relationship is clearly the main focus of the story. Adding in some mafia ties and vigilante-ism and I had a great time reading this

This book is hot hot hot šŸ„µ

One night, Selena pulls over for a bad storm and is approached by escaped convict Lex (Lexington) and gives him a ride (clearly unaware that he is a convict) 

Through their adventures of him getting this ride, he discovers that his ā€œRabbitā€ (to his coyote/wolf) is married to another kind of monster.

Following their story was a rollercoaster. A lot of emotions to unpack here and their chemistry is obviously off the charts. I loved this dark smutty romance.

The only complaint I have is Lexā€™s back and forth on whether to have Selena on his journey or not. She proves over and over that she is brave and tough and he still tries repeatedly to send her away and as much as it frustrated Selena, it frustrated me ā€” itā€™s a romance after all ā€” all I want is for them to be together šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Otherwise,

I am obsessed with this a good slow burn with a Vamp and a Were!!!ā€” this is my first Werewolf book. I love vampires/vampyrs so I figured Iā€™d give this one a shot and boy am I glad I did. Fated mates? Arranged marriages? Multi-species? Mystery? Murder? Betrayal?

The spice is VERY minimal but when itā€™s there is is detailed and HOT šŸ„µ 

*spoiler*
 The only thing I donā€™t like is the ā€œbreak - upā€ . I donā€™t like it in ANY BOOK but yet I read them and love them anyways ā€” and I cry and I cry because I feel my own heart shatter with the character and I was pretty inconsolable for a minute there, wondering how it would resolve itself in less than 100 pages????? 

Anyways 10/10 and knotting? Kinda creepy tbh but also.. hot? Idk please if you know me I hope you didnā€™t read this whole review kthanksbye.
