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.

Take My Daddy, I'll Take Yours Review

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotic Novella Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Take My Daddy, I'll Take Yours Review  I read the synopsis for Take My Daddy, I'll Take Yours and cringed. It gave me the full story in a few lines. I would have loved it if she had left out the step-mother's daddy thing and let me read it for myself. I wanted the mystery of how the title fit the novella. To my dismay, Jenika gave away everything. A bit of a disappointment. It didn't stop me, though. I put on my big girl's panties and started the book like the good bookaholic that I am.  One chapter in and I was intrigued. I instantly liked Mina and how easily her thoughts flowed. It wasn't hard to relate to her and get into her character. Jenika did a wonderful job with Mina. The novella was the same as the synopsis stated. Mina went to her father's wedding reception and met good old Carter. Yep, I would be a good girl for...

Induction (Serving Veronica, #2) Review

Book Source: BookSirens Cross Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Series Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Induction (Serving Veronica, #2) Review  This story made me want to have my own harem. If not, then a house like Veronica’s where everyone could be free to be who they wanted without judgment. Like I would freaking love to clean the house naked. Thank you, Jens/Jen for being so awesome with your gender fluidness. There! I said it. Chandra Storm was a genius to develop such a warm environment that even I couldn’t help but adore.  Okay, back to the review. Right. A full rundown of the story. Induction, book two of the Serving Veronica series, held in a Reverse Harem setting with BDSM was about two of Veronica’s submissives slash employees. Greg---awesome Grey---was the personal trainer while Mario was the chef. Everyone in this house had a role to play. It wasn’t all about sex, but people went through real struggle in their lives and dealing with past...

Home Plate (Easton U Pirates, #2) Review

  Book Source: Book Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: MM Standalone Series  Starred Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Spice Rating: 🌶🌶/5 Home Plate (Easton U Pirates, #2) Review The electricity went out in my area and while bored I read book one, Bat Boy in this Easton U Pirates series, in one sitting. I'm a sucker for character arcs, so when I noticed Mason and Domonic in Bat Boy, I immediately shipped them. It thrilled me to know my intuitions were good and the duo was going to be a couple. So, I continued the trend and stayed up until the blink of dawn to read book two. Not a healthy idea since I had stuff to do in the day, but I wouldn't be a bookaholic if I never did an all-nighter for the sake of reading.  Back to the review.  Mason was the grumpy asshole while Domonic was the caring type. He wasn't overly adorable which fit his character and how the whole plot tied to Mason. I adored the banter between the two. Dominic knew how to handle Mason. H...
