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.

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...
