Heartless Villain by Meg Anne, K. Loraine
4.25
4.25 / 5 Stars!
I love these audiobooks so much! The story line itself is unique and interesting. I laughed and I was also on the edge of my seat with all the action-packed twists and turns. BUT THE AUDIOBOOKS... It is seriously one of my favorite narrations. Its a full cast, there's accents, there's sound effects, and honest to god real growling. This is just one of those stories you grow more and more in love with the characters, and the narrators did such an amazing job bringing them to life.
What to Expect:
Mental Institution
Audiobook with accents in Duet narration with a full cast

Honey Cut by Sierra Simone
4.5
4.5/5 Stars!!!
I am so obsessed with this series! This was one of my most anticipated reads for this year, and Sierra did not disappoint me! I ate up all the spice, lies, betrayal, drama, and plot twists she packed in this book. I'm not sure how Sierra makes something feel so wrong and right at the same time, but if I can find my release as many times as Isolde, Mark, and Tristian do, I'd be wrong any day of the week. This retelling is so well done, and the club scene spice is done in such a beautiful way in my opinion. I honestly hope to be as good of a sub as Tristian is one day. He's honestly my new roll model and inspiration. These characters are so dynamic and the character development and flaws have me so attached to these three.
I was able to listen to an early copy of the audiobook, and the narration was phenomenal. Talk about a very uncomfortable car ride across the country with no way to relieve the pressure between my... Yeah it was that good!
What to expect:
Age gap
Body Guard
MMF
Spicy BDSM / club scenes
Arranged Marriage
Betrayal, lies, and deceit

Oh, You're So Cold by Saffron A. Kent

4/5 Stars!
I'm not even sure how to begin summarizing my thoughts on this one. I have never read anything so unique when it comes to a grumpy-sunshine trope. He's this cold-hearted jerk, but the things he does for this over-the-top sunshine of a girl just melted my heart. I loved seeing how quirky, vocal, and confident the heroine was and the strange things she said had me giggling. Then in complete contrast to her sweet demeanor you have Stallen, who says some of the most unhinged things I've ever heard. The spice in this book, if you have a thing for daddies, is top tier. I will say the beginning of the book was a all angst, but the end of the book is all spice. I also loved seeing the diversity and culture throughout this read. I loved seeing more of the brothers in this family because it really has me looking forward to Shepherd's book.

Love, Utley by S.J. Tilly
3.75
3.75/5 Stars!
I love the dirty talk and protective alpha males S.J. Tilly always deliver! I will say the beginning of this book was a hard concept for me to get into. They meet in college 15 years ago and essentially have a one-night stand. They both fall madly in love, but due to circumstances / miscommunication they never see each other again. They're both hurt by one another, and it felt a little unrealistic, so I think I had a hard time connecting. Once they got over their miscommunication though I was all game. The tension, the spice, and the filthy mouths I could definitely live for!
What to expect:
Second Chance
Miscommunication
Work place romance / Forbidden
One night stand / Insta love

This book is everything you love in a marriage of convenience mafia trope. I love when the guy who says 'this can never be more' ends up eating his words. I just at this audiobook up. It was a nice easy read and had everything I expect out of a good possessive mafia man. Can we also talk about the money he was throwing around? Do you need a second wife my friend? Because sign me up!

Haunting Beauty by Meg Anne, K. Loraine

4.5/5 stars!
This is EVERYTHING I love in an audiobook, so this is one of those series I'm going to insist you listen to. The engineering is phenomenal, the cast is perfection, the accents are melt worthy, and the humor and banter are spot on. This full cast narration audiobook is a must if you have this book on your TBR.
I loved that this book had real life villains that get the girl. The concept was unique and refreshing. I laughed so hard throughout this book. Our heroine's best friend Kiki had me dying laughing. The world was immersive, and the characters were dynamic. I love in a why choose romance where each guy brings something completely different to the table. You have the tortured soul and fated mate, you have the cocky flirty pirate, you have the 'giver' who is also a dragon, and you have the alpha-hole who is determined he's not going to fall in love.
What to expect:

This book is everything. I am obsessed with Disney's level of unhinged. I can't believe how stereotypical dark romance book boyfriend Disney YET I have never laughed harder in my life. I ten out of ten recommend listening to the audiobook because the narration is top tier. All the bromance scenes between Disney, his idol Lincoln, and Ari was does phenomenally by Troy Duran, and Alexis Paige portrays a younger scared Oliva to a tee. I really felt all the emotions throughout this book thanks to the narration. From the first moment these two lock eyes and Disney falls instantly in love for a girl who is telling him he sucks to the moment where he handcuffs her so she can't run away I am in love with this crazy, wild, unhinged love story. I am so invested in each and every one of these characters. I think I like Ari even more as a character now too because his little quips had me dying. Just total obsession is all I can say!
What to expect:
Celebrity
Pregnancy Trope... with a twist
Sta/ker Romance
Sports / Hockey romance
Pierced MMC... kind of

The third book both broke me and healed me. I loved seeing the growth of the FMC in this one. The way that this forbidden love ended was just perfection. My heart was pounding trying to figure out how it would all play through. If you love bul!y this one is top tier, and I love the audiobook!

I wouldn't say bu!ly romance is my go to trope, but when it's done right it makes my dark romance girlie heart happy! The first book he was so hardcore bully and it was full of top tier spice, that I was worried if he didn't show a softer side I might end up not falling in love with this series like I thought I would. Then we get to book two and I ATE IT UP! He's still ruthless, but when he shows her he cares it's completely swoon worthy. This second book is full of action, suspense, and top tier spice. If you love bu!ly this one is top tier, and I love the audiobook!
