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 ...

Step Bully Review

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: MM Romance / Standalone Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Step Bully by Willow Dixon Review  When I learned Julian was called Jules, I immediately thought of Jules from Euphoria. Despite the book's description of Jules’s character, I couldn’t stop picturing him as Euphoria Jules. Which was funny because they were nothing alike. Jules and Ash were stepbrothers, who hated each other because of the situation they were forced into. By God, I hated their parents. Even to the end. I was like ‘flip them the middle finger and move the heck on’ but to my dismay, they didn’t. Which kind of pissed me off. Gosh, I am a monster. Anywhos, the boys were thrust into sharing an apartment for their senior year of college. This was where the lines got blurred. I loved the bantering. It was amazing to read. Then other things came in and I was not liking them. At parts where I should have shown sympathy...

Gloden Review

  Book Source: BookSiren Cross Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotic Novella  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Golden by S.B Hazel Review  Curiosity led me to read this novella. Though the description said taboo, the words ‘watersports play’ in the synopsis/bio caught my attention. I had no idea what it was. Thus, I read this accepted this Arc and read it to feed my inquisitiveness. Boy, did I find out. I was like ‘wow, oh, so that’s what it is.’ Where I’m from watersports play is called ‘golden shower’. I was more than satisfied to find that out. I patted myself on the back after reading Golden. I didn’t even bat an eye and read it without a flinch. That called for success. With that said, it was not my cup of tea. All the sports play talk. Everything else was interesting. Even though it was short.  Sammy worked at an erotic club, catering to clients of various kinks. One night, she filled in for another worker and met two gorgeous...
