Shifted Dimension (Looking Glass Multiverse, #3)



Book Source: BookSiren
Cross-post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review
Type of Story: Standalone Series
Smut Radar: 🌶️🌶️/5
Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5

Shifted Dimension by Delta James was the third book in the Looking Glass Multiverse Series. This story was centered around Gage, a game programmer, and Chance, an alpha. When Gage programmed her game 'Shifted Dimension' she had no idea what was in store for her. One minute she went to the restroom and heard voices, the next she woke to a sexy ass male in her bedroom. The protagonist of the game she programmed. Yes, people, an arrogant alpha. One mishap of identity led to a steamy altercation. Before she knew it, she was whisked off to another dimension. The same one she created. 

The plotline was interesting. I kept wanting to find out who was behind everything. The ending was not what I hoped for, but good, nonetheless. 

I was not a big fan of Chance since around the third or fourth chapter. Even so, I pushed through, hoping to favor him later on. 'Let's face it, alpha males are toxic men who would say, 'screw the world and protect my mate'. They dominate but also show love in a way that's on another level from normal.' I was here for that toxic, yet addictive love alphas often gave. I didn't get that much from Chance as the story progressed. I got more dominance than love which annoyed me on more occasions than I had hoped for. 

Then Gage fell in love and my mind went blank. I stared at the pages in confusion. Like how? When was there any love to make me, the reader, smile and think they were cute in a 'that's not normal' way? I didn't get that. At all. All the cute moments were told instead of being shown. The couple spent time together, but I had to hear about it in brief annotations. Which made it difficult for me to get attached to the characters and be happy for them. I wished I got more romance from the novel.

In a previous chapter, when Lola was taken by Hogan for punishment, Gage and Chance had an entire conversation about what Lola's punishment would be. It even got to the point where Gage was preaching against Lola's injustice. And then, in chapter 11, Gage had no recollection of such a conversation and seemed a bit shocked by Chance's response. This confused me again and made me a bit irritated. Maybe if Gage had asked the question in a different way to keep readers reminded of the injustice, it would have been fine. A recap conversation could have blossomed from 'How is Lola?' and things could have gone from there. 

I had hoped to not add spoilers to my review. However, there were some things I couldn't help but talk about to get my point across. Those which influenced my three stars ratings.  

Even so, I would recommend 'Shifted Dimension' to people who believe in fate. It doesn't matter who we are or where we are, if we are meant to be with someone or be somewhere then nothing will ever stop us. We will get there one way or another.

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...
