Hate Notes by Vi Keeland
4.0
I think I’m falling more in love with workplace romances by the day! I listen to this one on audio and it did not disappoint!
This story starts off with Charlotte selling her wedding dress in a near by bridal shop because she found out her now ex-fiancé is cheating on her and she is very low on cash. While she’s waiting for the sells lady to get give her a price for the dress, her eyes land on this beautiful dress that’s she has to try on. While putting on the dress, she notices that there’s a blue note attached to the inside of the dress with a love poem from a guy name Reed. Charlotte can’t seems to let the dress and note stay in the shop, so she exchanges her dress for the new one and set out on a quest to find Mr. Reed.
Charlotte and Reed kept me so entertained and laughing the whole time that I finished the book in one day! Between their banter and their inability to keep their hands to themselves, you will not regret reading this book!! To bad it’s a standalone, I would love to read more of them!

Heat Haven by Sarah Blue, Ashley Bennett
5.0
Omg!!! Where do I even begin!! This was my very first Omegaverse and I’m so hooked and in love!! I don’t know why I didn’t find this subsection of romance sooner! I’ve definitely been missing out!
This story starts off with workaholic Griffin showing up to Heat Haven to finally stop putting off getting his personal life and get his shit together. At Heat Haven, Griffin has the opportunity to partake in multiple Omega’s heats and potentially form a pack with her. As Griffin is taking a tour of the building he finds himself stuck in an elevator with the most delicious Omega he’s every encountered, Emily.
Omg!!!! Where is the second book?!?! I’m so glad this was my first Omegaverse because I’m hooked and I don’t ever want to come out of this chokehold! I’ve never read a book where I knew it was an instant 5 stars by the 3rd chapter and the authors would be an instant buy for me!!! I really hope this story continues! I need to know more!

Claimed By Cupid by Dana Isaly

Dammit!!! Dana has done it again! Is it possible to fall in love with Daddy Nick for the second time in my life?!?!?! Because I'm in love!
This story is a continuation of Nick and Holly's relationship on Valentine's Day! Nick has planned an entire evening for Holly, from what she will wear, where they will eat, and all the fun he will have with her at the dinner table! And of course it's always a smutty good time when Daddy Nick is involved.
I always have a good time when I read anything Dana writes but I wasn't prepared for the emotions I felt when I read this book! I'm so invested in their relationship, their character development, Holly's relationship with Nick's kids, and all the love making they will have on the holidays! I love them!

If you are looking for a heart felt, warm, and fuzzy quick read, then this is the story for you!
This story starts off with Sloan and Bella dating in high school and falling madly in love. Sloan had a hard life growing up and doesn’t feel like he deserves Bella and thinks he will hold her back in life. So after graduation, Sloan decides to walk away from Bella and join the military without saying anything to her. So what happen six years later when Sloan shows back up in their home town ready to claim everything he left behind?
Omg!! I love them two together so much!! You could tell from the first interaction they had together after all those years, they were meant to be with each other! The fact that neither one of them had moved on from each other since high school spoke volumes. From the way they looked at each other to the way they care for each other’s needs. They were soul mates and nothing, not even time, would prevent them from being one in the end.

I don’t know why I’m just now found @bysiennasnow but I’m so glad I did because I’m obsessed with her writing!! This was my first book from this author and I’ve already downloaded Scribd so I can binge listen to this series!!!
This story starts off with Persephone (Penny) and her brother Adrian trying to figure out if their father’s untimely car accident was planned by Adrian’s mother, Dara, so she could control and inherit the family’s company/money. Adrian reveals to Penny that he has been working with their childhood family friends, the Lykaios Brothers, and he thinks they could help them with their issue. But what happens when Adrian pushes Penny to have lunch with the oldest brother, Hagen? Years worth of pent up tension, crushes, and obsession stars to boil over!
5 freaking stars!!!!!!! I don’t know what you put in this girl, but it’s crack!!! Omg this was soo good on so many different levels!! I’m not a huge fan of childhood friends to lovers but the way Hagan and Penny came together after years of pining over each other was gold!! And Hagan is the “keep tabs on you for years without you knowing it but I’m going to name every club I own after you” type!!!! With this being the first book in this series, there was a lot of world building and introducing of characters but I didn’t feel overwhelmed at all and it was easy to keep up with everyone!! I’m so ready to read the rest of the books in this series!!!! Oh and baby it’s HOT!!! Hagan can bind me over any day!

Master of Revenge by Sienna Snow
3.0
Y’all know I love this series but this one didn’t hit for me like the rest of them did. But it was still enjoyable.
This story follows Hanna and Zach and they absolutely hate each other because of Zach’s father, Colin. Hanna feels forever indebted to Colin because he was there for her family when her father betrayed the mafia and took his own life and left them to pick up the pieces. Zack is out for revenge against Colin for all the hurt and pain he caused him and his brothers through. So this automatically leaves Hanna and Zach on different sides of the fence.
I enjoyed reading about Zach and Hanna coming to together and discovering the truth behind Colin’s actions and how he made the best decision for everyone involved. This is tension heavy with a far amount of spice. But what took the cake for me is watching Zach breakdown on Colin’s shoulder over how much he tried to hate him all these years but he never could stay mad at his father forever after he found out the truth. That scene broke my whole heart!
