Promise and Pomegranate Review 

Promise and Pomegranate by Sav R. Miller was a book recommended to me by a book club. Now I went into this one excited. Did the excitement last? Hell, no. Elena was considered the Mafia princess while Doctor Kallum was the Death Doctor---according to Ariana. I don’t know, but I liked that sister. Maybe it had something to do with her spunk, but she seemed more mature and level-headed than the female lead. Anyway, upon being blackmailed, Kal aided or half-aided the Ricci family by forcing their first daughter to marry him. Not that the father disagreed. It was one spectacular wedding. I wouldn't want to be in that priest's shoes.

By Elena’s fourth point of view, I lost interest in her. I understood she had liked Kal since she was a child but come on. This guy took her virginity and left her without a word. When he came back and threatened her, ensuring she married him, then whisked her off to the end of the earth, she lost faith. It was like a walk in the park for her. All she cared about was him showing her affection. Like what the actual F? I was a virgin once and by God, I wasn't this stupid. I doubt most virgins are.

Moving right along. In certain sections, Kal did not seem all that bad. I got to see what caused him to tick, and that he had some level of humanity remaining underneath his so-called monstrous self. Sav did a great job with Kal. I didn’t hate him, but I didn’t love him either. He was okay.

The whole story was not to my liking. I didn’t see any romance going on nor did I overly enjoy the steam scenes. It could have been better. I couldn't help but laugh when I found out who the blackmailer was. It wasn't funny but it was. In a weird way. At least, to me. Otherwise, all I can say is I read this, and it was okay. Maybe someone who is not me would enjoy it. If you want to try it out, go ahead. You might just like it.

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 ...

The Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys, #2) Review

Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 Type of Novel: Series  Genre: Dark Romance Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Book two of the Vicious Lost Boys series and I am here for it. The cliffhanger in book one got me intrigued. I jumped into book two to see what happened. Triggers includes Sex scenes, profanity, violence. I advise reading Nikki's content warning before jumping into this one.  The Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys, #2) After The Never King came The Dark One in the Vicious Lost Boys series. Nikki St. Crowe once again gave us what we needed in this Peter Pan retelling. I figured the title referred to Vane, the character. However, it was still centered around The Lost Boys of Neverland. A continuation of the last scene in the first book, The Never King.  I liked the way Nikki wrote the novel. It made it seem as if I was watching a bad ass show on tv. Sex included. The story got more in debt of the lives of the pe...

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 ...
