Don't You Dare Review

 



Book Source: Kindle Store
Cross-Post Review: Chantie's Goodreads Review
Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶/5
Type: Novel 
Genre: MM Romance 
Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Don't You Dare was recommended to me by Goodreads. They thought because I read Luke from the Unexpected Series, I would like this book too. I was never the type to turn down a recommendation. Even though it was not on my November TBR, I squeezed in a read. Public outing, bi-curiosity, and a few other trigger warnings are present. Without further a due, let's get going with the review. 


Don't You Dare Review 


Don't you dare was a novel by CE Ricci. A friends to lovers romance. This MM Romance started with a game referred to as the title. A spin off of Truth or Dare. Keene and Aspen were nothing more than best friends until the game changed everything. One kiss and Keene's sexuality shattered. Another attempted one and the hidden truth came out. 'Friends help friends, right? It's some kind of hidden rule in the best friend manual.' This book stayed true to that statement. 

Don't You Dare also had the discovering one's identity trope and the soulmate trope to tie things up. The added smut scenes elevated the story. There were a lot which sometimes distracted from the plotline. I got why it mattered pertaining to the ruse the two men cooked up, but not everyone would. 

The story was sweet and spicy enough to carry me through to the end. By the middle of the novel, I appreciated the easy read. Until the latter chapters. The last few chapters made it seem like the story was longer than it had to be. It kind of killed the vibes of loving the entire novel. A five-star worthy novel. Which was a big bummer for me. 

I'm a big fan of friends to lovers trope and smut novels, so how could I not like this one? I couldn't. Period. The plot was enjoyable. There were a few triggers, including being outed by others. Those never took away from the internal conflict. I recommend viewing the content warning before diving in. I rated Don't You Dare four out of five stars. 

I recommend it to readers who are afraid of commitment, who are afraid of giving the handle of your heart over to someone else. Life is a bitch. Pain comes with it. Sometimes it's better to take a chance with the person who cares for you rather than be stuck in darkness for the rest of your life.

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...
