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 thought that was the inciting incident since I couldn't put a finger down on the actual one. That night, Storm's request pushed the men out of their comfort zone. Well, to me, it did. 

I was a bit lost in the former chapters. Kept asking myself why did all that mattered. Why didn't Jessi start the story the way she did? Thankfully, the latter chapters revealed the importance of the former chapters. Not to mention how easy it was to read the story. I read it in one night — despite the continuous reminder that I had work the following day. Did that stop me? Nope. I went to bed at four in the morning. 4 o'clock! 

The lack of sleep was worth it, though. I enjoyed the latter chapters of the novel. Once it started, I couldn't put the book down. Sully was too cute. The best boyfriend to slap on my list of book boyfriends. Jules's honesty was refreshing. Adorable. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The fact that they were willing to fight for each other even when the odds were against them warmed my heart. 

I was still a little reserved about the former chapters. Something in the back of my head kept saying Jessi could have started Sully and Jules's story better. It would have been epic if she did. Thus, I rated The first and the Last four stars out of five stars. 

I would easily recommend this one to readers who are born from families who reprimand certain acts. Suppressing oneself for the sake of others isn't always the best route. Sometimes it's okay to be selfish. Fighting for what you believe in and who you love is self-elevating and never an easy task. But the outcome will make you happier than hiding who you really are.

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...
