Caffeinated Crystal's book reviews

07/179 rereads for reviewing. I'm enjoying my Kiki Clark adventure in rereading, girl. I love you. You were one of my first love authors when I jumped back into reading! *did you know?* Out in the Cold is the prequel for the Blue Collar Hearts series. It's a novella, and IT IS steamy!  • plus size mc • lingerie • blue collar man/accountant • r!mm!ng • size difference • grumpyish/sunshine 🥵🥵🥵 the chemistry is through the roof between Beau and Coop. We love a man who appreciates a thicc partner! Coop can GET IT. Since this is a novella, it's a little insta-lovey. But it also just goes with the story. Beau is prepared to reach out and grab his HEA, and Coop lowers his walls to invite in love again. ✨️swoon✨️ These two were so fun and the spice was so nice. Ripped panties? Lets gooooooo! Guess what I'm reading next? If your guess was Laying Pipe, the next book in this story, you were right!!!! We love a hunky blue collar man finding love, and this series delivers. 100000...

When I tell you Robito can GET IT, you gotta believe me. What a hottie. This was book 06/179 rereads for my goodreads reviews and Kiki Clark DOES. NOT. MISS. Robson and Marcus are mates. Except Robson is a human and Marcus is a wolf shifter and enforcer for the Kincaid Pack. The situation is NOT made easier by the fact that Robson [cutely] believes that the pack is somehow mobsters or traff!ckers or just plan bad folks. But Robson can't stop investigating. It also doesn't help that he is attracted to Marcus. Or that Marcus is always staring at him. The tension? Amazing.  The comedy? Present. We also get a look into how sweet and insecure Marcus is under his professional and closed off exterior. Robson is absolutely perfect for him. • fated mates • pnr shifters • human/wolf shifter mates • magic • one smoking hot Puerto Rican deputy • said deputy's family • possessiveness  • fisting/knotting This story is so good. This series is so good. And Robito is mine, please and thank ...

I want this series to live on forever and ever. I love the Alpha Tau boys. And Scout ✨️squeals in dolphin language because the cuteness is just too much to bear✨️ Imma need a couple more Scout and Trey books please. This was the cutest little glimpse back into the lives of Marty, Scout, Trey, and a few of the other Alpha Tau guys. Everyone is leaving the frat house for Christmas, Scout is keeping a sad boy secret, and Marty & Trey try to make things better. Fratmas was adorable. This is one of my favorite feel good series, and it will definitely put a smile on your face!  • found family • college age frat brothers • established relationships  • holiday vibes & shenanigans  If you haven't read this series and the novellas that go along with it, I absolutely recommend! As always, my only issue was the fact that this was a novella and I could have read another 200 pages. 4.75 ⭐️

05/179 rereads for goodreads reviews. JOYFUL is a holiday novella set in the Leather and Chrome series universe. • holiday vibes • brother's childhood best friend • plus size mc • daddy/boy • little! • found family (the motorcycle club) • kink positive environment Emmett and Rooster (Gray) were so cute. I loved Emmett's sweetness. He was so shy! I loved Roni's protectiveness and of course seeing CJ and Ollie again. Emmett's family sucked and I loved how Gray took charge of that situation. I also really loved how their kinks lined up, and through it all Rooster was super communicative with Emmett. Honestly, my only problem with this story was that fact it was a novella and not 300 pages long. If you're a fan of kink and smut and great characters and motorcycle clubs then I definitely recommend this series! Based on vibes alone and my love of a daddy story? 5⭐️

Y'all this was not a squishy book, just a heads up. I am wrung out after finishing Elas and August's story and need something sickeningly sweet and smutty to balance the vibes. Don't get it twisted though, this is a GREAT series. A dystopian world, where monsters have taken over and humans live in cities run by the monsters or they live in the wild. The fates are punishing everyone for the violence, peace and balance can only be restored when a human and a monster find their mates in each other. Book one is Ronan and Cameron and book two is August and Elas. Again, these books are story heavy and terrible things are happening to pretty much everyone. The fated mates are great, the smut is also great. But oomph. The plot and the violence definitely take a toll. Book two leaves us with a HFN with the plot of the next book Nyx, already set in motion. I need a few days before I jump into my arc of Nyx, because Elas has me all up in my feels. If you like monsters and a dystopia a...

04/179 rereads for reviews on goodreads: Temptation, book two of the Leather and Chrome series. Whew 🔥🔥🔥 I forgot how kinky this one was, y'all! Six and Ollie were on fire! • D/s • total power exchange & rules • impact play • c○ck cage • voyeurism • ownership  • daddy • funishments • brat (but a sweet one) I loved how both Six and Ollie had both pretty much assumed they'd never find a partner who ticked all their boxes and then suddenly, the two are put into proximity of the other. I loved the kink. I loved the clear communication. I loved how talking/expressing himself was so not Six's vibe, but he does it anyway for Ollie. These two together make so much sense, and they really were 🔥🔥🔥 together. The Doug plot, the intro to Ollie's friends Penny, Vin and Mason were all well done. I loved seeing CJ and Tank again, too. This was a great reread and a great edition to the series. Definitely 5 stars from me!
