The Light, The Dark, and The Dragon

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

December 18, 2024 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Consort of Fire was an insta-buy because I love the author duo Kit Rocha to pieces! Their new duology kicks off with Sachielle on her way to become the said consort of a mysterious dragon lord. He is a powerful man named Ash who can literally become a dragon. This immortal dude is pretty scary, but Sachi isn’t afraid. She has been dreaming of fire and determined to seduce him… The twist is she is on a lifelong path to assassinate him lest she will […]

As long as he was with her, disaster counted as adventure.

The Roommate Risk (The Midnight Heat Collection #3) by Talia Hibbert

February 7, 2024 by carmelpie 4 Comments

When she’d asked his name, he wondered if she’d pronounce it right, or if she’d ignore the h and lengthen the u, and he’d have to teach her, have to press his lips against her skin as he sounded it out. She’d pronounced it perfectly of course. ― Talia Hibbert, The Roommate Risk This book was HOT. AS. HELL. Ahem…. Jasmine is impatient. Jasmine is flirty and confident and impossible and bursting with life and passion. She is also living in a crummy apartment where […]

Love Triumphant and a bit with a dog

The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate

July 17, 2023 by katie71483 2 Comments

Okay, so, some of you may remember that I reviewed Purity by Skyler Mason several months ago and that I was… not impressed. Purity was supposed to be spicy romance about someone who was recovering from growing up in purity culture. It wasn’t particularly romantic or sexy or spicy or even a good deconstruction* (see definition below) journey.    Today, I stumbled upon The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate. It is everything that Purity’s author wanted that book to be, but on steroids. It is filled […]

Ask me about my weiner…

Pay-Per-Heart by Grace McGinty

June 26, 2023 by katie71483 1 Comment

Pay-Per-Heart by Grace McGinty is a delightful little bon bon of a Why Choose? romance about a graphic designer, porn stars, and the sausage food truck owner who loves them. Does that sound like there are some built in jokes and finger scorching sex scenes? If you answered yes, you are today’s grand prize winner! There is also an adorable meet cute involving a gender fluid name, an ad for an unorthodox employment opportunity, & and a scam that strongly brings to mind the Justin […]

Single Moms Deserve Sexy Times Too!

Flip by Briana Michaels

April 20, 2023 by RevGirlUtena Leave a Comment

This is the second book in Briana Michaels’s Next Level series. However, each book is a standalone novel, so read them in whatever order you want, IF YOU ARE A PSYCHO. Flip tells the story of Trey, Glitch’s best friend, and Erin, Glitch’s sister. The story starts with Trey and Erin fooling around, and they have been for a long time. They have kept this a secret for several reasons. First, they don’t want to upset and confuse Erin’s young son, Bug, who looks at […]

A Very Special Christmas… or is it?

Tangled in Tinsel by Trilina Pucci

January 1, 2023 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

If you have read any of the reviews I’ve posted over the last year or two, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve mentioned BookTok a good bit. Honestly, I probably spend more time scrolling through the clock app than any other form of social media right now. All of this is to preface where I’m going next: SmutTok, the part of BookTok that is for the people that like a *serious* amount of spice in their romance. As in, more pages are dedicated to sex than […]
