Mercy by Sara Cate
3.0
Ok, don't get me wrong, this one was a good book. The writing is consistent with the others in the series, I still love Salacious and all of the characters, but... well, I don't really love Beau and Maggie. I don't know if I just don't care about them enough to really want to read about them, or if the tropes/k1nks were just not really my thing... but this was my least favorite in the series and one that I would most likely skip on future rereads.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't read it! We all have such unique tastes, especially when it comes to this type of book, that I do think everyone should make their own determination. Some of you will LOVE it and hate my faves (Give Me More and Highest Bidder) and others will just love it all! But be sure to check TWs to make sure and take care of yourself first!

Too Fast by Abby Millsaps
5.0
This second book picks up right where book 1 left off (yes, that cliffhanger was brutal). We see just how much Joey means to all the guys (yes, all)... and how much they mean to her.
My only issue was that I don't think we got to see enough of Kendrick and Joey's relationship progression. It just suddenly was... like, I want a little more buildup like we saw with the rest of the guys.
Of course, we can't be left with a HEA just yet... another (possibly slightly less brutal) cliffhanger is in store while we wait for book 3.

Omg, this is a book with my name written all over it. I devoured this in a day, I literally could not stop reading. Between the sports romance, forced proximity (and I do mean forced), boy obsessed (though not admitting to it at all, even to himself), and why choose... add in a bit of mystery and suspense... GIVE ME MORE!
Charming As Hell by Sarah Blue
4.0
I'm a sucker for a why-choose... Sarah Blue is one of my go-to authors... 'nuff said. :)
But really, this installment of the Charming series was great. I really liked seeing more of Mara, after first meeting her in Charming Your Dad. I do think you'd be better off at least reading that book prior to this one, as many of the events near the end of that one especially are mentioned. It will also give you a much better idea of who the side characters are (including her Dad).

The Pucking Wrong Guy by C.R. Jane
5.0
I love hockey. I love stalkery, dark romances. Put the two together and you get Ari! Now, if you don't love your fictional men with more red flags than you would find on a golf course, Ari is probably not going to be your next book boyfriend. But if you love a man obsessed, who will do anything to get the girl that got away (and I do mean ANYTHING), then Ari is your guy.
While this is technically an interconnected standalone and you can read it before you read The Pucking Wrong Number, I do think you'll have a better understanding of everyone involved (including Ari) if you read them in order. Plus, Lincoln is another red-flag-riddled, hockey playing, man obsessed book boyfriend that you need to meet anyway.
Now, I'm really NOT trying to talk you out of reading it... in fact, I know some people who use these as a shopping list for their next read (it's me, hi, i'm the problem, it's me). But, if you're still on the fence and really want to know the details before deciding, here are some of the content warnings you can keep in mind (but ONLY show spoilers if you REALLY don't mind being spoiled, because these WILL hint/outright tell you things that Ari does in his mission to get his girl).
(I'm trying to be vague, but also let you know what you're in for here... sorry if I fall short or tell you too much... I warned you):
