Thanks to BookSiren for another wonderful read. In the Now by Jennifer Ann Shore was an amazing story. It did have a few triggers that include profanity, sex, death caused by cancer, and a few mentions of bully. With that said, let's jump into the review. 


In the Now Review

Olivia Ott is the protagonist of the novel In the Now by Jennifer Ann Shore. Olivia is a singer slash songwriter who left her hometown a decade ago to pursue her career. Ten years later and she is back. She returns home to grant her mentor a favor. Returning to her hometown doesn’t sit well with Olivia, but what can she do? It’s her mentor. As if she isn't under enough stress, the unexpected happens. Not only does her life turn upside down, but she meets her bully. Noah Washington. The same person she ran from all those years ago. Yes, the same guy that made her life hell in high school. 

I am going to be honest, judging by the cover, I was a bit skeptical about the book. The enemies to lovers tag convinced me to give the novel a try. I am glad I did. Jennifer did not disappoint. The story evokes various emotions. This minute it had me laughing and the next it brought me to tears. Olivia was the perfectly imperfect protagonist that reeled me in. Noah, the hot doctor I will never forget. My new book boyfriend.

I could not put this book down even at two in the morning. Thank you, Jennifer, for this masterpiece. An enemies to lovers romance that sends the right messages. I felt every push and pull interaction between Noah and Olivia. I rated In the Now five stars out of five stars. It was that good. I recommend this masterpiece to readers who enjoy the reformation of characters. Nothing is set in stone. People can change. This book is for those who had a not so great past and can move past it. Running from your problems doesn’t make things better. In most cases, the buried hatchet will creep up on us and tear our lives apart. It’s better to deal with the problem as they come along. It’s hard but nothing good is easy.

Sucked Review

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotica Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Sucked by AR Taboo Review ‘She can’t keep it out of her mouth’.  I went into this one with an entire baggage of curiosity. I noticed a friend read and gave a review. Two sentences got me wanting to find out what it meant. There was nothing there for the book bio/synopsis which enhanced my urge to know what the hype was about. Knowing me, I got a little too curious, and rushed to read it. I gobbled up this thing without batting an eye. No one would think I was reading anything smut worthy much less as taboo as this. Like what the heck?  I’ve become so desensitized to these things that nothing affects me these days. No triggers. Not even this Novella. At this point, I could wave down the train to hell and buckle myself in. This was just…I’m lost for words.  Father reunited with daughter after years of not seeing each other. That was just ...

The First and the Last Review

  Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Type: Series Genre: MM Romance  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 I was in desperate need of a quick read. This book came to my rescue along with Str8te Guys by Evangeline Anderson. Loved that erotica by the way. Also a MM Romance. I was more than happy I stumbled on these two books. Read them in one night. Yeah, one night. Who needs sleep when we have a book, right? The First and the Last Review  The first and the Last was a MM Romance by Jessi H Reign. A friends-to-lovers omegaverse. The paranormal romance began with the growth of Sully and Jules from their high school years until they became shifters. The two saw each other as best friends until a Storm flew through their pack. Okay, not an actual storm but a woman called Storm. A mind-blowing threesome and the males realized they liked the experience of each naked a little too much.  I hoped that wasn't a spoiler. But, I th...

Edin (Monstrous, #2) Review

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Edin (Monstrous, #2) by Lily Mayne Review I was in love with Edin from book one. Who wouldn’t? He was the monster that made the best of men doubt their bodies. The same one with amazing abs and a rocking body that attracted eyes. Yes, the monster with child-like personality. A hyper-active one. The perfect sweetheart. When I noticed he had a book for himself, I was thrilled. I dove into it without a second thought.  Hunter, another military guy, was the complete opposite of Edin. A hot head to Edin's calm and happy-go-lucky attitude. A seasoned veteran stationed out in the wastelands. On Hunter's way to report to his base, he and his best friend slash partner were ambushed by Kolebs. Hunter’s friend, Charlie, was taken by the monsters during the encounter. Edin happened to be passing by and helped Hunter from maybe dying. The duo then had to...
