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 traumas. It didn’t seem fictional. Chandra made it seem as if someone was showing me their real-life story. Grey who had past trauma with being hospitalized freaked when Veronica tried a new kink on him. Distraught that every one of the other guys in the house was able to do it but him pushed him to ask Mario, his protector and friend, to help him overcome his fear. Once they started, one accident after the other happened. They were like kids and Veronica was the adult. It was kind of funny. In a weird way. 

Mario was adorable. I wished I had seen him get over his fear as Grey and Rachael had. The book was about him and Grey. I wanted to see some sort of development when it came to him. I felt like if he did, I would have loved the story. But sad to say, it wasn’t there. Hopefully, it will be in book three. I have read MM romance mangas with switched positions like this one but never in an actual book. Noticing it here with Mario was amazing. Guy could be anything he wanted. Seme or uke. Hats off to him. 

Anyway, despite the strong themes, the book wasn’t hard to digest. I thought Chandra used the measurement of point five in line spacing, so reading it was smooth. I didn’t have to strain to see or comprehend what I was reading. I didn’t read book one and going through this one was a breeze. I wasn’t confused at any given time. This is great for people like me who sometimes never read series in order. The only hiccup I had---it wasn’t a big deal---was not knowing where Sarah fit into the picture. Otherwise, the story was a blast. 

It was one of those stories that was such a comfortable read that it would make you want to curl up on your sofa with a hot cup of chocolate. I cannot gush anymore about this story. Go ahead, grab a copy and get reading. Does this book have smut? Yes. There was BDSM there as well. Was there romance? I could tell Mario and Grey actually had feelings for each other without them having to say it. Believe me, it was refreshing from all the fake-romance books out there. Yes, this was a fabulous arc read---meaning I got a free copy of this book. And yeah, this is my honest review, just in case you were wondering. Because why would I waste my time writing an essay of a review that is dishonest? Ha! I wouldn’t.

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...
