Justice:: Lark Taylor

Image
This book was INCREDIBLE. I'll post a better review when I can form real words and stop crying. UPDATE :::: It took me almost three entire days to be able to even attempt to write my thoughts down about JUSTICE. Lark DELIVERED. I went into this story with skyscraper high expectations and Lark delivered on every single one. I absolutely recommend this story, and you really should be emotionally devastated from book one, Patience, before reading Justice. Trust me, it's worth it. Justice is Matty and Sebastian's story. Sebastian is the centuries old vampire assassin committed to never opening his heart to love after [REDACTED, OH MY GOD IT WILL DESTROY YOU] - but he meets his match in the human embodiment of sunshine that is Matty. Matty is haunted by [redacted] and fights hard to not let his past dim his smile and his sunshine. He feels an almost instant pull to the grumpy, but kind to HIM, Sebastian. That is literally all of the story I will give you. You can get that from c...

Caulky: KM Neuhold

Image
Okay, so I have read this series before, I just didn't review it. But I am fixing it now! I just finished up CAULKY, the first book of the Four Bears Construction series, and it was honestly so cute packed full of sex scenes. Ren and Cole. Rebound and Caulky. Honeybee and Grizz. These two were so damned sweet. • small business owners • apiarist/contractor • hookup turned true love • anonymous texting buddies • docking! • super sex positive characters • serial monogamist/manwhore • mature (in age) mcs • friends like family • idiots to lovers I enjoyed watching Cole (a commitment-phobe) and Ren (a serial monogamist) rebound right into each other. Fate was literally giving them no choice pushing them towards each other. The contractor bingo was so fun. The confidence both mcs had was infectious. I loved Cole's ✨️not playing games✨️ vibes. He was down bad for Ren so quick. Caulky was a solid 4⭐️ for me. This was such a little snack.

It Started with a Text: Jax Calder

Image
I just finished this novella, IT STARTED WITH A TEXT, and 💕swoons dramatically💕 I absolutely adored this story. The vibes SCREAM romcom and it gives me that squealy giddy vibes romcoms from the 90s used to deliver. • biggest fan/rock star • textual misunderstandings • reverse catfishing • FALLING IN LOVE • NYC as a side character • rich man/poor man • mockery as a love language This was the sweetest story, truly. Nick and Anthony make this beautiful connection, right when they need it most. I laughed, I squealed, and I definitely craved some ice cream. I could have read 600 pages of their cuteness. But then I would surely ☠️. The bonus chapters you can get at the end is 100% worth it. I loved this story so much. 4 75⭐️

Strip Me Bare: Kaitlyn Ash

Image
I guess I am in my tab○○ era. Strip Me Down was hot. Caleb and Rafe were super hot. • brothers • size difference • edging • light voyeurism/exhibitionism  • bossy & bratty bottom • giving & caretaking top • dirty talk The strip bingo, sexy book club scenes were hilarious. Caleb was such a little terror. Phillip's plus one had me cackling. Rafe's need for Caleb hit. This book was a fun, sexy, and quick read! Arcane Falls, where no one cares if you have a zest for the 'cest.

Five Star Review: Marie Reynard

Image
Still on my Marie Reynard kick 💕 just finished up FIVE STAR REVIEW and the bonus chapters. UGH I LOVE THIS UNIVERSE!!!! • best friends to lovers • they are roommates • wolf shifter/human • sex worker • sex toy tester/video reviewer • astronomy nerds Y'all this story was so sweet. Aiden and Zayn meet as college dorm mates freshman year. They are both into each other, but they are idiots. The pining, and the scenting? Perfection. The cameos from MateHub Legend? Amazing. The bonus chapters? So funny. This was a sweet novella and I could have happily kept reading. I would have loved to see Zayn's first trip to Aiden's pack! More scenes of Zayn's "testing" and reviewing tapings. Or more comments/scenes from the message boards. And who sent the package? This universe is SO fun and Reynard has a distinct voice that carries throughout each story. She is gonna have me going full paranormal next, I have already downloaded everything else she has available to read LOL. ...

MateHub: Legend :: Marie Reynard

Image
WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME? Why did none of y'all pull me aside and say "Crystal, you dumb bitch, read MateHub: Legend. You will LOVE IT!" I feel like an idiot. I just finished MATEHUB: LEGEND and I LOVED THIS BOOK. I LOVED IT. *squeals in dolphin language* ✨️DICKHUNT FOREVER✨️ Please take this post as me pulling you aside and saying "_________, have you read MateHub Legend? No? You got to, right now. Seriously. Right now. The hype was real. I repeat, the hype was real." The idea behind this story is awesome. Supernatural/shifter world, they would need supernatural/shifter p○rn too. Makes sense. • veteran star/newbie • shifter/human • transactional bonds & true bonds • message boards • trollops and strumpets • DICKHUNT • found family • paranormal plot points • knotting • idiots to mates • primal(ish) play • scents Richard and Hunter were perfection. I loved them. 5, but also ♾️, ⭐️ °•○●•°•●○°°○●○°°•○○•° Bookstagram ● book reader ● book reviewer ● exceeded the h...
