Caffeinated Crystal's book reviews

I just finished my reread of YEARNING, and god. I absolutely forgot how hot this book was. • age gap • black MMC 🥵🥵🥵 • shibari • 🍑 hook • power exchange • nurse/bar owner • '"Sir" and "sweet boy" Houston is the VP of the motorcycle club, and Kenneth is a nurse. They meet when CJ calls in a favor and Kenneth comes to stitch up someone at the club.  Kenneth and Houston are immediately into each other, it just takes them a while to get there. But when they do... it's a full blown k!nk fest. Kenneth just wants someone to love him and take care of him, and Houston is happy to deliver. Absolutely recommend this story, and reading them in order makes them WAY more enjoyable. Who knew a motorcycle club in Michigan could be so k!nky?

This was an excellent extended novella. Rooster & Emmett are great, and so is the club!  Original review: • 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.

I just finished UNLAWFUL DESIRES and god. I love this author and her little universe. I love an easter egg. I love when an author leaves you little love notes throughout a series and Kelly does that throughout all her books. Her universe is multi-trope, multi subgenre, all with HEAs guaranteed. Want murder swoon? Check. Vigilantes? Check. Psychopathy? Check. Traff!cking revenge? Check. Cowboys? Check. I could keep going. She even has some pnr standalones. She has full length stories and novellas too. She's got it all. Sorry, this is supposed to be a review post, but I am rambling. I just love how it's all connected. Maverick (Rune) and Boone really got me. This wasn't at ALL the story I was expecting, but it delivered regardless. Multiple times while reading, Maverick had me crying. Boone was so much more than he was when introduced in the first book.Maverick too. These two had a past and the next time I see a bouquet of wildflowers I just may cry a little. I love that Mave...

Sweet Obsession was a phenomenal ending to a fantastic series. In Sweet Obsession we get Rory's story. It wasn't at all what I was expecting... that is not a bad thing. Although, admittedly it did take me a little minute to get into the story, but once I did I was locked in like 👀😮🥰☠️🍆❤️  This story was FUN. It had some heavy topics to be sure, but Rory and Shai were a bit crazy, Shai even at one point refers to Rory as a "fucking tornado of a man" and I loved that because the accuracy is staggering.  If you like books with: • MM mafia • college age mini mobsters • possessiveness  • obsession • stalk!ng • lingerie • primal play • touch him and ☠️ • "I licked it so it's mine." • MINE • piercings ... you know what kind • found family • dirty talk • nicknames  • danger fetish OMG. I know I should have compassion for Kat, but I don't. Seriously she drove me absolutely up the wall and I can tell you I wouldn't haul my friends and my partber's ...

4.5⭐️ I am not usually a fantasy or dragon shifter girlie - but this taboo omegaverse story was so good y'all. The grandfather/grandson of it all didn't seem too over the top, since Cealean is 132 years old and Isander is his CINDERfather and the previous alpha. They are more than old enough to do whatever they want. Was hot. Will definitely be reading the next books as they come out! https://odessahywell.com/books/kinbound/#claimed

It's release day for PROBLEM CHILD 🧡 and the ending of a great series! The Foster Bro Code books were entertaining as hell, and I am sad they're over. Bailey, the baby of the family, is off at college fulfilling everyones dreams but his own. He wants to be working in the family garage with Flynn. But his brothers won't like that either. This is the story of Bailey's growing pains. We get a lot of Flynn's doubts and Bailey making some interesting choices 👀 and some new characters through Redemption Road! Oh, and of course someone is up to something, because something is ALWAYS happening to these babies.  Problem Child was entertaining, and I always enjoy coming back to familiar characters and wonderful stories. I enjoyed the brother's acceptance of Flynn. I love how even though they got their HEAs, Axel and Holden are still messed up. Sad the series had to end, definitely recommend!
