Review: Take Me Home
Take Me Home by Britney Bell My rating: 3 of 5 stars Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was a decent sized, romantic, steamy novel that I didn't mind being thrown into. Both MCs are single parents, rich, but feel something is missing. When they meet, sparks fly, tensions also come to a head, but a HEA is always guaranteed in the end. And that's basically it. I enjoyed the romance, but wasn't entirely - how should I say - feeling connected to the characters - although I could understand their struggles of being single parents. It all felt like a brady bunch remake, in a novel version. But a good kind I suppose. But maybe this is a sign that I should just back to my dark romances haha. Who knows? Until the next read, -JB View all my reviews
Review: Whiskey Home
Whiskey Home by Taryn Rivers My rating: 3 of 5 stars Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Note 2: This is a series, so please read in order as future/past characters do make cameos. Trigger Warnings: murder, death, mention of rape, brutal violence, assault, abduction, abuse, drug abuse, shootouts, ostracism, thievery, betrayal. Damn, this novel fell awfully short of what I was supposedly expecting from it. I mean the summary hadn't really convinced me it was going to be a whole lot exciting, more like contemporary romance than a perhaps romantic suspense that it was going for. Plus the romance felt more forced than anything, seems like the characters would have had a better platonic relationship than anything. The mystery was in literal pieces, connected to who knows what and where. I mean I had my own kind of headaches just piecing together what the book was trying to say. The only three things going for it were: decent flow, the p...
Review: Lucifer's Sin
Lucifer's Sin by Lisa Renee Jones My rating: 5 of 5 stars Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Note 2: This is a trilogy. Please read in order, as the first and second books in the trilogy end in cliffhangers. Note 3: There is a prequel to Lucifer's Sin - called Lucifer's Beginning. It will give you more context to Ana and Luke's story (oops lucifer). So go read it now before you read this one! Trigger Warnings: betrayal, murder, deceit, violence, abuse, assault, abduction, drug/alcohol abuse, shootouts. Oh look at that, a regular romantic suspense coming in! Ana and Lucifer (sorry hehe about thinking about calling you Luke) have had their share of problems and have avoided each other like the bubonic plague or maybe they were keeping 5m distance per the covid-19 guidelines. Until one fine day, when Lucifer realizes that his past has actually caught up to his girl, Ana and he needs to rescue her if he wants her alive and...
Review: Shackled Hearts
Shackled Hearts by T.L. Smith My rating: 5 of 5 stars Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Note 2: This is a series, but the second two chained hearts books: Lucas and Chanel's books are a duet. So please read in order -as previous characters do make cameos. Trigger warnings: assault, negative words against sex workers, cheating, violence, knife play, sociopaths involved, betrayal, murder, drug use, gambling, head trauma. Review of the previous book (Sinful Hands) to just let you understand what sort of a devil Lucas is haha: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... Okay, so the level of depravity and utter chaoticness Lucas can get up to, apparently has no bounds. But this time Chanel has an actual backbone and is all too ready when it comes to resisting Lucas and other depraved beings around this planet - and I love her for that just a little more than before. But obviously we know Lucas has no qualms about being the next ...

Review: The Emperor
The Emperor by Erin Mc Luckie Moya My rating: 3 of 5 stars Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Note 2: This is a series. The first two books in the series are a duet. Please read in order -as previous characters do make cameos. Trigger Warnings: violence, death, murder, underage sex mentioned, mention of drug use, illness mentioned, vegetational state mentioned. mention of Salem witch trials. Just to catch you up on my opinion regarding the first book: goodreads.com/review/show/4611455832?... This time, the book's path is a bit different. It instead takes a more romantic, self-discovery, and steamy direction than the original content and action heavy first novel. And I appreciated it. To a certain degree. But the endless s** scenes started boring me to tears, making me miss and wish for the last first book which was more content and action heavy. I mean I loved Dimitri and Corinne's discovery, dance of mystery and how they get ...
Review: The Empress
The Empress by Erin Mc Luckie Moya My rating: 4 of 5 stars Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Note 2: This is a series. The first two books in this series are a duet. Please read in order as previous characters do make cameos. Trigger Warnings: assault, violence, death, abuse, underage sex mentioned. Where do I begin with this novel? Oh I know. The very descriptive and almost realistic descriptions of witches, of magick, of their pasts and how they are made/found, and how they are used all over the world (fictionally) in order to continue to grow their magick and themselves. I loved being in that world, immersed myself deep and never let go. Also knowing that the author put a lot of work to research about witches and magick made it definitely a read that I would not forget anytime soon. The romance was - at 95% almost. So no it didn't take center stage. It was mostly about the detailed workings in and out, history of how a witch ...
