CYPHERION KASTROFF EVERYBODY ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
So this AMAZING little novella is part of The Curse of Ophelia series by Nicole Platania. If you havenโt read it yet, please do it is AN AMAZING FANTASY.
This was the side story we all deserved for Cypherion and Vale and NICOLE DELIVERED HONEY. I mean WOW. I loved every bit and ate it up.
It was the perfect length. Just all around perfect honestly. It gave just enough to satiate us until the next book in the series.
I cannot wait to see what Nicole has next for us! This book made me feel all the feels. I fell in love with each character all over again and Iโm glad I got to peek into their POVs.
Nicoleโs writing is so poetic Iโll never not say that in a review. You can tell she writes with FEELING and that is something I cherish as a reader.

Scrape the Barrel by Karley Brenna
5.0
YOU GUYS LISTENโฆ Iโve binged this entire series so far and I AM IN LOVE. This is book THREE in the Belle Buckle series and I HAVE LOVED EVERY SINGLE BOOK, but this one is my favorite so far. I mean WOW.
So a little run down: This series follows 5 siblings (the Bronsons) and their love stories.
I am obsessed with this family and these books. The spice in each book is ๐ฅต๐ฅต. The banter. The FEEEELS. My god.
This book specifically? Hit me RIGHT in my feels. As a single mom this book really just had me extremely emotional, but more importantly it gave me hope. Hope that good men still exist somewhere out there. Men like CALLAN BRONSON.
Reading about him loving sage as she was AND loving her daughter like she was his own was so beautiful.
The writing in this book was immaculate. Whatโs been the most fun is watching Karleyโs writing improve so much throughout each book. It really gave me a sense of pride. This book had no business being this good. IT RELEASES 7.19.24 SO MAKE SURE YOU READ IT WHEN ITS OUT.
I cannot wait for the next book. This was so much fun ๐ฅน
Beat around the Bush by Karley Brenna
5.0
Okay book 2 im the series down โ
and let me say I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. So a little background: The Bronsons have a big family right? Thereโs a total of 5 siblings. Lettie (whoโs love story was book one 10/10), Reed, Beckham, Callan and Lennon. Each book is their love story and how they found their person.
This was Lennons book. The oldest of the bunch and I LOVED HIM?!?
This book was giving grumpy x sunshine, workplace romance, small town romance all of it. Did I mention the brothers are all friggen COWBOYS like stop it rn.
I donโt know who I like more. I loved Lettie AND Bailey in book one but LENNON HIT DIFFERENT. The spice in this book was *chefs kiss* there was the perfect amount honestly.
I canโt wait to dive into the next book (Scrape the Barrel) which Iโll be ARC reading since it releases 07.19.24. Who knows maybe Callan will become my new favorite!
If youโre wondering YES I AM HAVING THE GRANDEST OF TIMES READING KARLEYS BOOKS so yall should read them too.
Spur of the Moment by Karley Brenna
5.0
First let me just say my next few reviews will in fact be Karleyโs work. So just be ready for that.
Spur of the Moment is book ONE in the Bell Buckle series and I freaking loved it. This book was so cute ๐ฅน
We have a childhood friends-to-lovers, brothers best friend, second chance romance here and I loved every second of this book.
I loved Lettie with her sass and Bailey was justโฆWHAT A MAN. Reading his POV had me like โhey god, itโs me againโฆโ
โจspectacular give me 14 of em right now.โจ
These two were absolutely meant to be and I loved the HEA so much.
Also Lettie has FOUR older brothers so imagine the scream I scrumpt when I discovered the next books are their love stories ๐ฑ um? YES because I fell in love with them too and idk who I love more tbh donโt ask me to pick because Iโm a why choose girlie.
Iโve actually been on a cowboy romance kick and itโs been such a TIME ok. Def recommend these if youโre in your cowboy romance era like me. 10/10
Slaying the Shadow Prince by Helen Scheuerer
5.0
Okay yall I FINALLY read Slaying the Shadow Prince and I LOVED IT. Which isnโt a surprise because Helenโs The Legends of Thezmarr series happens to be one of my favorites.
So letโs talk about my โจmistakeโจ first. I read this book after finishing the complete Legends of Thezmarr series. Donโt be like me, read it after book 2 in that series which is Vows & Ruins.
Now letโs get into it. TALEMIR STARLING IS DADDY. Plain and simple. I am a sucker for a book boyfriend with WINGS. Letโs just start there. A man with wings who loves reading romance books in his spare time? Yes please.
The story between him and Drue was honestly beautiful and I loved every second. Drue is a wildfire for SURE and I loved her so much the entire book. It was actually fun for for me to back track and get to know the details of their love story. How they met, how they fell in love. All of it.
Helen writes amazing stories and every book is going to be a 5 star read for me. If you like fantasy romance. Please read her work. Iโve had such a good time with her books. 10/10 for this one.

WYATT ๐๐ผAUGUSTUS๐๐ผHENSLEY PEOPLE. Thatโs it that the review bye.
No im kidding, but seriously this book was SO GOOD AND SO CUTE I COULD BARELY HANDLE IT.
I mean really you have a broody, mysterious, โlimits himself to one smile a dayโ, and speaks in grunts ranch hand MMC with a cheerful, ray of sunshine, probably farts unicorn dust, sage burning, wellness influencer FMC from England. UM HELLO?! The grumpy x sunshine was grumpy sunshining ok.
The banter was absolutely everything. I mean at first I was like โok ok itโs giving hallmark just real cute and sweetโ but then there were parts that actually had me HOWLING with laughter. It gave rom-com and I cannot stress enough how much I love those fr.
Ask me how many times I giggled and kicked my feet? Idk I lost count.
Thereโs found family, love after heartbreak (on both ends), healing together DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FACT THAT THERE WERE HORSE RIDING LESSONS WHERE THEY SHARED A HORSE.
Everything about this book was 10/10. I freaking loved every single chapter. Oh and did I mention there is spice?! ๐ฅต This is set to be released July 5th so please pre-order it or mark your calendars whatever you have to do because I demand you read this.

This was definitely a dark read. Horror/Thriller romance. It gave criminal minds mixed with Dexter and honestly it was completely Fโd up and twisted and I LOVED IT.
It was a quick read too even though it took me several days to finish but that was a me problem fr not the book. This book could easily be read in one sitting.
Itโs first person dual POV that will have you saying โthe f*ck?!โ to yourself several times and the end will have you screaming it.
Sarah doesnโt miss ok. If you like reading messed up stuff then go read it because itโs out on the 27th. ๐

We all know how much I LOVE Aimee Vance and B. Perkins. Iโm actually obsessed with their work. Iโve been reading along with their monthly buddy read for the Deadlights Cove series and find myself ALMOST unable to wait for the next book.
For those who arenโt familiar with the series, Deadlights Cove is a small town within the books that is full of supernatural beings of all kinds. So we get to watch the bachelors of town find love and itโs honestly the BEST TIME. The characters are all so loveable.
In Deja Brew we have Kit Sayana a Fox shifter and Nimue Fitzpatrick a demon. They were childhood best friends and somewhere down the road, unbeknownst to HER Nimue became Kits true mate. The love story between these two was complicated at first, but ended up being wonderful and by the end I was giggling and kicking my feet.
As Iโve mentioned in my reviews for the other two books Iโve read by these two authors THEY ARE HILARIOUS and these books are SO FUN. If paranormal rom coms are your thing, check these books out. I cannot wait for Wings and a Miss next month ๐ฅน

I. HAD. SO. MUCH. FUN.
This book was FANTASTIC and I ate it up.
It really did give acotar but in different font and Iโm NOT saying that Iโm a negative way. Filthy Rich Fae still had its own story and own vibe!
The writing was fast paced but done well enough to not leave any gaps. So basically a fast paced slow burn LOL.
There was absolutely no time wasted jumping into the plot and it was so refreshing, the world building was perfect and it was so simple and easy to imagine where they were. OH DID I MENTION THEY LIVE IN NOLA?!?
I adored the FMC Cate and her stubbornness, her stiffness, her emotional wall. I resonated with her a lot actually and understood her from the first chapter. Now Lachlan? I KNEW the moment he was introduced that I was in love with him. He gave broody, mysterious, cocky and INFURIATING. All the things we all love in a dark haired fae daddy right?!?
I also very much enjoyed the found family aspect of the book. Itโs one of my favorite tropes.
So it wasnt difficult for me to fall in love with Roark, Ciera and Shaw.
Overall I enjoyed every second of this book and read it very very fast. It was way too good to put it down. There was enough foreshadowing for me to be super excited for a second book announcement so Iโll be watching Genevas instagram like a hawk.
I canโt wait to see how Cate and Lachlans story continues.
Thank you to Geneva Lee and Entangled Publishing for my review copy of Filthy Rich Fae. This was so fun, you all are the best!

The writing in this book was so good. There was so much love written into this book I found myself feeling ALL the feels. Compared to book 1 the writing had some changes, but they were good ones. The Sun Child was 10000% had more spice than The Crow Lord. In fact, there was A LOT of spice tbh, but I am not complaining. To include THAT many spicy scenes in a book and be able to write them in a way that doesnโt seem repetitive and his hot EVERY time is a true skill.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Although the characters from The Crow Lord were all featured in this book, Iโd say most of The Sun Child revolved around Ambrose and Lila. Which I loved. We got to explore their love story more and watch it grow and evolve and that was something I looked forward to after finishing book one.
We did meet Nostros in this book who i absolutely adored as well but Iโll let you guys read it so you can develop your own love for him ๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
This book was an excellent sequel to The Crow Lord. I mean reading about Lila going from the meek abused human and starting to find her strength in that book to being a COMPLETE FIERCE BADA** WOMAN who snatched her power right tf back was such a fun ride. I have always rooted for her. This book was slow to medium paced until the end and it really picked up and got crazy. I really had so much fun with this and I cannot wait to see what Julie has in store next.
