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.

Snuggle Season (Burrowing Hearts, #1) Review

  Book Source: Book Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type of Book: Standalone Series  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Spice Rating: 🌶🌶/5 Snuggle Season (Burrowing Hearts, #1) Review 'You're mine.' Who doesn't love this quote when in an omegaverse?  To kick off Rainbow Month, I picked up this short read. And it was the best fit for me who just came out of a reading slump. The chapters were short and easy to read, too. Weston and Adam were fox shifters, going into their burrowing season. For those who have no idea what that means. It's like a mating period for foxes where they spend a certain amount of time together without distractions from the outside world. In the end, it should help them bond.  Anyways, knowing nothing about the other, these men dove into the burrowing, hoping their partner would accept them. I almost had to visit the dentist after this one. Adam was one of the most caring and sweetest alpha foxes in the world of shifters. He was ...

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...

Pretty Little Thief Review

Book Source: Store Cross-post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: On-going Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Pretty Little Thief Review What the heck did I just read? This is the book of the month for my book club. A lot of those who read it raved that it was awesome. I thought ‘why not go for it?’ Boy, had I wished I didn’t. The protagonist, Princess Robyn---because all royals except the Mother Queen’s name starts with an R---was thrust into chaos---something we could see coming from a mile away---when her father died, and her brother took the crown.  While reading this story, I was stuck between being bored and annoyed. First and foremost, I blame the King and Queen for what the female protagonist faced. They failed as parents. How the hell would you have a parent whom you knew was a manipulative witch and entrusted her with your child? What kind of monster does something like that? If I know my mom is a bitch, I’m not going to want to leave my kid with her...
