The Silencer: Cora Rose reread

Original review copied & pasted: I just finished reading The Silencer, the next book by Cora Rose, and OH. MY. GOD. Mafia goodness mixed with the humor that Rose is known for and the spice 🔥🥵 bless my heart. You're reading the review my ghost is typing. R.I.P me.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. Tatum finds himself in a bad situation in a bar, in a seedier part of town *we don't victim blame in this house* The only person that could possibly be capable of helping Tatum is his best friend Angel's father, Anthony. The mob boss.

Anthony swoops in like an avenging angel, takes Tatum home to his compound, and the stage is set.

There are so many side characters I love and need backstories on! And the cameos from [redacted!]

But the main draw of this story was Anthony and Tatum. Anthony, the mob boss who definitely has a few screws loose. He's possessive and obsessive (we love to see it!), and once he gives in... he is IN. Tatum was a tornado of sass and sweetness and knew exactly what he wanted - Anthony - and boy did he get him.

The plot? PLOTTING.

The spice? SPICING.

The chemistry? IMMACULATE.

There were good bad guys and bad bad guys. There was entertaining C R A Z Y *Bane!* and found family friendships. There was ✨️watching✨️ and [redacted spice]

This book was AMAZING. I knew I'd devour it all at once, and I wasn't wrong. The author also left lots of avenues open to which couple the next book may be about... I'm hoping for Angel.

The tunnels.

The jewelry.

The intensity.

The desk scenes.

The cameos!

Books you may enjoy before The Silencer to get the easter eggie goodness: Diablo & Ben & [redacted]

Updated thoughts: the public sex really did it for me. Whenever they wanted each other, usually instigated by Anthony, they had each other. On the phone? Blow job. Meeting with all the bosses employees? Anal. Right there. It was all owning and possessiveness and like I said, I was here for it.

Outside of the sex scenes, I just really loved how bratty and sassy Tatum was and how absurd and stabby Anthony was. This is a GREAT little universe. I'm about to start a reread of HIS PRINCE, Angel's book.

This reread-a-thon is due to getting an early copy of book 3, HIS ENFORCER, and I want to be fresh with the details.

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

Image
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...

Brim Over Boot: Darling Brothers book 2: Emmy Sanders

Image
Oh my god, I am UNWELL. I shouldn't be surprised, but this one snuck up on me. BRIM OVER BOOT was fantastic. I'll be the first to admit that enemies to lovers is not my go-to genre. But Colt and Noah were damn enjoyable to read. From the beginning, you could see that Noah was under Colt's skin, and I was so here for when things started happening. And lord did they! Their love story is packed full of humor, rivalry, ridiculousness, and miscommunication/misunderstanding. They're idiots, your honor. But they're also SWEETHEARTS. Colt's struggle and fight along with Noah's possessiveness and patience. It's swoony over here! I loved seeing the Darling family again and meeting Walter. AND the Darling donkey cameo! I will die for Remington, if necessary. I could go chapter by chapter listing everything I loved about this one because Colt and Noah were just that good! BRIM OVER BOOT is out May 22nd. You still have time to read (or reread) book one, Sweet Like Wh...
