Book Source: Kindle Store 
Cross-post Review: Chantie's Goodread Review
Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Part of a Series: Yes
Genre: MM Romance 
Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 

I enjoyed Whit so much that I decided to check out Sem. I did get a glimpse into the crazy plot from Whit, so I was more than exited to read Sem. It was just as good as Whit. Heck, it was even crazier. I loved it. It involves profanity, sex scenes, emotional abuse from family, some mentions of bullying, and homophobes. If that doesn't scare you away, then get your TBR and let us start the review. 


Sem (Unexpected, #2) Review 


Sem is the second book in the Unexpected series by Cora Rose. We got a sneak peak of Magnus and Sem's first meet in the first book, Whit. Sem decided to drive Magnus home from the hospital. Sem, a hulk of a man, noticed and got fascinated by little Magnus's fashion sense. So much so that he followed him around. Or that was the vibe I got from in Whit. In Sem, it gave more details of why Sem stooped to such measures. The bottom-line excuse was Magnus intrigued Sem. This fascination led to something more intense. The interaction between the two developed from banters to steamy bets. Once bet led to another until love swept them off their feet. 

Sem and Magnus's relationship grew and blossomed, sending me over the edge. Like the first book, Cora never disappointed in showing us each emotional struggle. The character development came at the right stages to keep me invested until the end. Sometimes we think we want something but it's not what we need. 
Like Whit and Caleb, Magnus and Sem was adorable. I was very much satisfied with this match up. For once the uke and sem were just as I imagined it. I even loved how this MM story could be read standalone. Magnus and Sem were to die for. I gobbled up the short story in a few hours. I rated Sem five stars out of five stars as well. 
I recommend Sem by Cora Rose to all those insecure readers getting by. It's hard to fight for what you don't think you're worthy of, but hey, that's okay. We just have to pay attention to the people around us and accept ourselves for who we are. No matter what our flaws are, there is always something or someone out there for us.
Happy reading and let's get to Emery (Unexpected, #3).

Coming Up for Air Review

  Book Source: Kindle  Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Novel Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Coming Up for Air by Amanda Meuwissen Review  I stumbled on this story and noticed the merman on the book cover. I didn't even think much into it---not even to read the synopsis---why I took such a chance was beyond me---and got the book. My childhood obsession with merfolks--not Ariel, I hated her---followed me into adulthood. Therefore, anything merfolk and I'm going to read it. This book fell into that category. And, I was glad I decided to read this book.   It all began when Leigh was dumped into the river by the mobster brothers, whom he stole from to appease the mafia he worked for. On the verge of drowning, he was kissed by an angel. Later he woke ashore without the shackles that the gangsters had tied around his ankle. Thinking nothing of it, Leigh went home, trying to come up with a plan to get himself out of the bind he ...

Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review I was in the mood for an omegaverse when I stumbled on Ugly. My God was I not disappointed in my spontaneous decision. Ugly was that MM Romance I never knew I had to read. Like Burke, you could take care of me any day. Any day.  Emerson, a homeless omega, had found solitude in the bar of an older Alpha for the past three months. He never had a problem with the routine exchange of a few meals for a petty job here and there around the bar with the large alpha. Burke was caring and made him feel safe.  Burke could care less about the chores he asked the omega to do. It was a simple trade. Plus, Emerson never caused problems and often left after. Until one winter night. Three days before his heat cycle started, Emerson ended up in Burke's bar begging him to be allowed to stay until his cycle was over. The...

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...
