Whit (Unexpected, #1) Review

 



Book Source: Kindle Store 
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.

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...
