Whit (Unexpected, #1) Review

Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodread Review
Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Part of Series: Yes
Genre: MM Romance 
Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


I first bumped into Whit on my surf through Goodreads. One of my friends was reading it. Though it was a part of a series, I was in the mood for reading a male-on-male romance. And I was glad I did. This queer romance involves triggers such profanity, sex scenes, self-harm, mentions of child abuse, and coming out. If any of these floats your boat, then let's get into it. 


Whit (Unexpected, #1) Review 

Whit (unexpected, #1) written by Cora Rose was a MM masterpiece. Caleb, the protagonist, was a once straight guy, who became curious about his roommate, Whit. Curiosity did not kill this cat. He got the good-good. Two men with opposite personalities had one thing in common. The desire for the other. Their time together as roommates pushed them to accept each other. It never helped much when Caleb got sick, and Whit had to take care of him. Things went downhill from there. Or uphill. It depended on how you look at it. 

Both characters were amazing. I couldn't even be upset when either made the wrong choices. Whit, included. I felt his pain when I shouldn't. Cora did a wonderful job in conveying each character's emotions. I loved every minute of it. Caleb's family was the best. I fell in love with every one of them. His cousins were to die for. I adored them.

To be honest, I was a bit upset that Caleb was the uke. That disappointment didn’t last long, though. The back and forth interaction between him and Whit kept me on the edge. I loved their chemistry. Oh, and the disaster was just amazing. I did not see it coming. At all. There were a few misplaced names, but nothing to hold back from the story. It’s a short read, so easy to flash through.

I ended up loving the novel far more than I intended to. I rated Whit five stars out of five stars. I recommend this BL romance to readers who are struggling with their sense of self. It doesn't matter what others want us to do or be, as long as we love who we are, we will survive. We can move forward. Love doesn't have to come from blood relatives but strangers who turn into friends and family. 

Go ahead and enjoy. See you in the second book Sem.

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...
