As You Walk By by Julian Winters Review 


This book sent me on a roller coaster ride. I liked it, then I didn’t, and then I did. I was expecting something different from what I received but still, it wasn’t disappointing. I was more than satisfied with the outcome. It was refreshing and easy to read. I wasn’t a huge fan of the whole ‘most of everything happened at the party’ concept. I felt like more things could be eased into if it weren’t. Either way, the little funny scenes and the growth of the characters made up for the lack. 

There were a lot of messages hidden in the story. Heavy themed. Sometimes I think it was too much, but it didn’t take away from the storyline. That much. I liked Theo, even though he was that protagonist who didn’t make you wanna like him sometimes. It was fun to read about him and how he was. Why he acted the way he did. I wasn’t a big fan of Aleah. But I loved everyone else.  

This was my first story by Julian. Though I didn’t love it, it was okay. Theo was dared to prompose to his crush by his friends. Eager to have the best prom of his high school life, he set out on a mission, even though that mission could cause his future to go up in flames. Things didn’t turn out how he wanted them, but he got much more out of it. Much more. 

I could see people liking this story. Could even understand why. Would recommend it to people who know what it’s like to be in a crowd of friends who have no idea who you are. Who didn't make an effort to. I mean, that’s typically everyone in the whole. Theo’s story portrayed friendships and how they could either die or blossom from common situations to interests.  

How the title matched up to anything in the book is still a puzzle to me.

Sucked Review

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotica Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Sucked by AR Taboo Review ‘She can’t keep it out of her mouth’.  I went into this one with an entire baggage of curiosity. I noticed a friend read and gave a review. Two sentences got me wanting to find out what it meant. There was nothing there for the book bio/synopsis which enhanced my urge to know what the hype was about. Knowing me, I got a little too curious, and rushed to read it. I gobbled up this thing without batting an eye. No one would think I was reading anything smut worthy much less as taboo as this. Like what the heck?  I’ve become so desensitized to these things that nothing affects me these days. No triggers. Not even this Novella. At this point, I could wave down the train to hell and buckle myself in. This was just…I’m lost for words.  Father reunited with daughter after years of not seeing each other. That was just ...

Step Bully Review

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: MM Romance / Standalone Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Step Bully by Willow Dixon Review  When I learned Julian was called Jules, I immediately thought of Jules from Euphoria. Despite the book's description of Jules’s character, I couldn’t stop picturing him as Euphoria Jules. Which was funny because they were nothing alike. Jules and Ash were stepbrothers, who hated each other because of the situation they were forced into. By God, I hated their parents. Even to the end. I was like ‘flip them the middle finger and move the heck on’ but to my dismay, they didn’t. Which kind of pissed me off. Gosh, I am a monster. Anywhos, the boys were thrust into sharing an apartment for their senior year of college. This was where the lines got blurred. I loved the bantering. It was amazing to read. Then other things came in and I was not liking them. At parts where I should have shown sympathy...

Gloden Review

  Book Source: BookSiren Cross Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotic Novella  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Golden by S.B Hazel Review  Curiosity led me to read this novella. Though the description said taboo, the words ‘watersports play’ in the synopsis/bio caught my attention. I had no idea what it was. Thus, I read this accepted this Arc and read it to feed my inquisitiveness. Boy, did I find out. I was like ‘wow, oh, so that’s what it is.’ Where I’m from watersports play is called ‘golden shower’. I was more than satisfied to find that out. I patted myself on the back after reading Golden. I didn’t even bat an eye and read it without a flinch. That called for success. With that said, it was not my cup of tea. All the sports play talk. Everything else was interesting. Even though it was short.  Sammy worked at an erotic club, catering to clients of various kinks. One night, she filled in for another worker and met two gorgeous...
