His Secret: Isabel Lucero

Oh my god, this book wasn't at ALL what I was expecting. But it truly was silly of me to second guess Isabel Lucero. She always gets it just right.

Before I write anything else, you need to know this book has cheating in it. But not between the two mcs, and honestly, even if it was technically cheating... I'm not gonna count it. Books with cheating are always hit or miss for me, but Matías and Adrian are legit soulmates, and you can't fight fate. Or me, cause this is the hill I'm gonna die on.

Matías and Adrian meet in college. They have a quick but passionate secret affair. They can't be out because Adrian is very firmly (thanks to his parents) in the closet. THINGS HAPPEN. Eight years later, they cross paths again, and it becomes VERY serious, very quickly.

I loved the hell out of this book. I liked both characters equally, and that's rare for me. I usually like one more than the other. But I liked both Matías and Adrian. I loved seeing their happily ever after, hard won as it was.

Lucero never lets me down. She's a wonderful storyteller, and HIS SECRET was such a lovely, unexpected, heartbreakingly good surprise. I'll continue to read what she writes and be quite happy with the situation.

HIS SECRET is out October 7th. If you're looking for a book filled with second chances, big love, soulmates, "love of my life"/"loss of my life", heartbreak, voyeurism/exhibitionism, cheating *not between mcs*, not strictly vanilla, serious feelings AND excellent storytelling... don't sleep on this one.

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...
