Love Notes by Christina C. Jones
5.0
This was my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it!! I listened to it on audio and it was beautiful. The story, voice actors, and culture was so rich and magical in this book that I didn’t want it to end.
This story starts off with Jules moving back to her home town and in with her favorite cousin to get her photography studio/business off the ground. On her first night home, her cousin invites her out to have a good time, and boy does she have a time. While she’s out she meets a fine man name Troy who takes her home and gives her all the loving she needs. But what happens when a simple one night stand, no strings attach encounter turns out to be the man who works across the street to her new studio? Can that one night simply stay in the past?
Listen!!!! This book was so freaking good!!!! I suggest everyone listen to it on audio. You will not be disappointed!!! And can we talk about the culture, the depth, and the love in this book?!? From the struggles of dealing with finding out where you come from, the issues of dealing with family that didn’t stick up for you when you needed it them the most, the battles of staying true to yourself and following your dreams, to finally breaking down and going to a therapist to get the help you need. This book touched on so many great topics that everyone can take something from this book and feel seen, heard, valued, and loved.

Pack Bliss by Kate King, Jessa Wilder
3.0
I was very excited about this book but I let me down and it felt like something was missing the whole time I was reading it.
So this story picks up right where the first one leaves off. Bliss has been taken by the alpha she was sold to and the guys from her original pack is trying to get her back.
Honestly it just didn’t do it for me. Maybe my expectations were too high so I did t give it a far shot but I wanted so much more for Bliss and the guys. This was the first book I read by the authors were it felt very disjointed in some areas and in others I could tell the book had two authors. There’s only one group scene and it’s at the tail end of the book. Also it took them too long to fully mate and bound themselves to Bliss. So by the time it happened, all of their problems in the book were solved so it seemed pointless to be mated anyway.

Wow!! If you loved the tv show Scandal you will love the last book in this duet!! This is Scandal on steroids and @shondaland needs to bring this to live asap!
This book picks up right where the first one leaves off. Eden has been taken by Damien to help him get revenge on Cain. First Eden didn’t want anything to do with Damien’s plan but once all of Cain secrets start to be uncovered, she quickly comes to terms with with the idea that her stepfather may not be who she thought he was.
This book is a wild ride!!! There’s so many secrets that come out in this book that will leave you speechless and second guessing yourself. It wasn’t until the last 90% of the book where I finally felt like I could trust the main three characters and their motives but then out of no where I didn’t see the ending happening at all. The fmc was your typical blonde sheltered young girl who kind of gets on your nerves with the decisions she makes and the lies she believes. But it added a extra layer of anxiety because you never knew what she would do next. But both main mc’s were both unhinged and would do anything to achieve their goals and the people they used and abused was top tier chaos!

Your Dad Will Do by Katee Robert
5.0
This was my first @katee_robert book, and y’all told no freaking lies!!! The smut was on 1000, and I ate it up!
This story starts off with Lily finding out that her fiancé was cheating on her with his secretary. So she decides to get revenge on him by seducing and sleeping with his father.
Omg!!!! If you are looking for smut on every page read this!!! If you have a daddy kink, you will be in heaven reading this book! I listen to the audio book and it was so good. I found myself smiling like a school girl at how much Shane and Lily where able to achieve in one weekend. But what took the book to the next level, was the level of care Shane gave Lily during her emotional moments over her relationship with his son. I was not expecting the connection and love they shared for each other and how that love and attraction was always there even when she was dating Shane’s son. And this man waited for her!!! Waited until she was healed from the relationship to make her his own!! Love this!!

Gifting Me To His Best Friend by Katee Robert
4.0
This was just a snowed in, Christmas theme, cabin in the woods, steamy good time!
This story starts off with Emma, her husband Greyson, and his best friend Derek spending time in Colorado for their annual Christmas getaway. At the end of one night as Greyson and Emma were getting ready for bed, Grayson asked Emma about the book she was reading and she expressed that there was a threesome in the book with mmf that intrigued her. Grayson had the bright idea to indulge his wife curiosity of sleeping with another man by letting his long time best friend sleep with his wife.
As you know in true @katee_robert fashion, there is smut from beginning to end! But the twist that I wasn’t prepared for is the sexual tension, longing, need, lust, and love between Greyson and Derek. They were too cute and I would love to see their pass that build those feelings and their current relationship as the three of them.

It all starts with Rafael going to Chicago for a business trip when he sees a beautiful girl across the street that he just has to have. When he finds out that she underage and still in high school, he launches into a 16-18 month plan to find out all the information he can possibly find on her on her while putting his people in place to befriend her and gain her trust. Once Isa graduates, she goes on a trip to Spain with her friends and meet this incredible guy, Rafe, that sweeps her off her feet. And when she tries to leave and go back home to Chicago, Rafe decides to keep Isa all time himself....forever! And from that moment the story of Rafe and Isa is one hell of a ride you don't want to miss!
Listen I read this book in a box set and I cant tell you how many times I just kept turning the page not knowing which book I was reading because it that good. This is book one out of four and when I tell you it starts off with a bang and keeps your attention all the way through. It was hard to read some of the things Rafe did to Isa but it was all because he loved her and didn’t know what to do with his emotions. Rafe is everything!

Listen I read this book in a box set and I cant tell you how many times I just kept turning the page not knowing which book I was reading because it that good. In book two is where I started to get a little annoyed at Isa because she would make some many dumb mistakes when it came to her safety and the safety of Rafe's men and when Rafe would get made at her, she would be all shocked and confused as to why he would act out. I'm glad Rafe made up for her "sheltered" moments.
