Candy Hearts Anthology (volume 2): Silver (Fox) Lining: Anna Sparrow

I love love loved this little shortie novella!

SILVER (FOX) LINING by Anna Sparrows was such a great read! I'm totally giving it 5⭐️ My only complaint is that it was a novella and not a full-length story. I'm not kidding or exaggerating. I would have happily read 300 pages of these two.

Cody is Mike's son. Mike is Ken's high school & current bff. Cody has always had a bit of a crush on Ken.

The story pops off when Cody mistakenly texts Ken for help. Ken thinks he's helping a stranger, and they have a re-meet-awkward in a grimy club bathroom while Ken plays the  white knight.

Ken and Cody spark up a friendship over their favorite tv show, and that slowly & organically evolves into texts, memes, calls, dinners, and then after a conversation -> friends with benefits.

It can't ever be more because Ken is Cody's dad's best friend.

But they can't stop their feelings.

I LOVED THESE TWO. They had chemistry, and I just loved their friendship. I also loved the great DEMI representation. Cody is a virgin because he needs that emotional connection - that spark. Their conversation about that and Cody's demisexuality overall was SO GREAT.

There were sweet moments, light spice, and big grand gestures. I was so here for it. Again, my only complaint was that it wasn't a full-length story. Your honor, I loved them.

This anthology is available now, but not forever. The proceeds go to an LGBTQIA+ charity, too. So treat yourself & do good at the same time!

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

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...
