Doc: Abrianna Denae

 Did I like this book?

YES. Absolutely.

Was I frustrated with one part?
YES! Don't worry, I'll tell you why.

Doc is the main doctor for the Amato crime family. He's close with the boss. He's even closer with his own bodyguard, James. When the clinic crew finds itself short staffed because [reasons] - a new nurse is brought in to help. Enter Soren, straight from the Bratva.

While Doc gives major BRAT & psycho vibes, Soren gives control, DOM, and DADDY vibes. Even if he's younger and twinkier.

These two mcs dance around each other a while before deciding to take the plunge.

💙 younger daddy/older boy
💙 consensual non-monogamy
💙 mafia adjacent
💙 doctor/nurse
💙 watersports & blo od pl ay
💙 very casual mentions of major kink
💙 pain kin k & degradation & impact play

While this book was spicy, and it was fun being in a world I never visited before with a new to me author - my main issue came down to a specific situation with the mcs. I'll be vague, as to not spoil the story... but I'm gonna mention it.

Before going on their kink adventure together, the two mcs have a conversation about boundries. One mc basically states that their only real boundary is DON'T CALL ME BY MY GIVEN NAME. While the two mcs seem to be a great match, and I do think they love each other and are probably a good fit together (y'all know I'm an HEA only girlie) ... one mc REGULARLY uses the other mc's given name. Like during sex and even outside of it. Like, dude, that was the ONLY thing he asked of you.

That one part left me unable to LOVE the story as much as I wanted to. But if I put that aside, I enjoyed the hell out of DOC and this super twisty story. It was full of all sorts of kink, interesting characters, found family, mafia, bad guys, morally grey mcs, hottie bratva triplets, DADDY, and so much more.

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

Image
Y'all, I LOVED THIS STORY. I saw it available to arc read, and I took a chance. I am SO glad I did. I loved Cash & Wilder. If you love cowboy romances, 10/10 recommend this one. I've been crying off and on throughout the entire book. Wilder was such an amazing character. His back story was TOP TIER, and how he got introduced to the story kept me engaged the entire time. And Cash. Don't get me started on him. He is the perfect cowboy and the perfect place for Wilder to land. After being released from prison, omg that story broke my heart, Wilder goes back to his family ranch. But so much has changed, and so has he, and he doesn't quite feel like he fits anymore. Cash, the ranch foreman, is Wilder's boss... but he becomes so much more. This story has so much HEART and family dynamics. Lain, Wilder's brother and his family, also have to adjust with Wilder being back on the ranch. And the other ranch hands too. Everything is a part of the story. But there were s...

The Legend Next Door: Totally Pucked Book 2: Jesse H. Reign

I think this may be the hardest review I've ever had to write. I can't believe I'm saying this because I genuinely believed that Unbreak Me would remain my favorite Jesse book of all time... but THE LEGEND NEXT DOOR has, without a doubt, taken that spot. I loved this book. I LOVED IT. Jesse chose violence with this one because I died multiple times while reading. Died. Dead. Ben Stirling. Holy hell. BEN STIRLING CAN GET IT. Where did he come from 👀 I need to know. Jesse. How do I get a Ben Stirling, please? And Jeremiah. JELLY. Oh my god, Jelly. Both mmcs had no right to be as perfect as they were. It's just uncalled for. My heart can't take it. And Luca. 😭😭😭😭 I usually don't like kids in books, but Luca was such a sweet little character- and seeing Ben with his son was SO SWEET. But seeing Jeremiah with him was so much sweeter. The grief? God. It hit like a punch. The biawakening? Felt as natural as breathing. Believable, too. The chemistry? O...

Granddaddy's Law: Wolfe Productions

It's rare for me to go all in on a taboo story. Mainly because I need a little plot to enjoy a story and most taboo is just porny erotica. Which, to each their own, we don't yuck anyone's yum here - but I need some plot. My little corner of booksta was popping OFF about the latest taboo story, a collab of dark romance writers Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow. I've enjoyed their work in the past, and was told by a trusted booksta friend that Grandaddy's Law did in fact have a plot in addition to the porny goodness that had everyone OMG-ing the day away. I'll tell you this too, I love a well written taboo and forbidden story. I'm not in any way a prude. Y'all.  When I tell you how much I LOVED this novella - I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. Ezekiel is a BRAT. A live wire. He is coasting through college selling & using drugs and riding any d*ck he can find. After his latest arrest, Ezekiel is expelled from school and sent to live with his unknown pa...
