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.

The First and the Last Review

  Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Type: Series Genre: MM Romance  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 I was in desperate need of a quick read. This book came to my rescue along with Str8te Guys by Evangeline Anderson. Loved that erotica by the way. Also a MM Romance. I was more than happy I stumbled on these two books. Read them in one night. Yeah, one night. Who needs sleep when we have a book, right? The First and the Last Review  The first and the Last was a MM Romance by Jessi H Reign. A friends-to-lovers omegaverse. The paranormal romance began with the growth of Sully and Jules from their high school years until they became shifters. The two saw each other as best friends until a Storm flew through their pack. Okay, not an actual storm but a woman called Storm. A mind-blowing threesome and the males realized they liked the experience of each naked a little too much.  I hoped that wasn't a spoiler. But, I th...

Snuggle Season (Burrowing Hearts, #1) Review

  Book Source: Book Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type of Book: Standalone Series  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Spice Rating: 🌶🌶/5 Snuggle Season (Burrowing Hearts, #1) Review 'You're mine.' Who doesn't love this quote when in an omegaverse?  To kick off Rainbow Month, I picked up this short read. And it was the best fit for me who just came out of a reading slump. The chapters were short and easy to read, too. Weston and Adam were fox shifters, going into their burrowing season. For those who have no idea what that means. It's like a mating period for foxes where they spend a certain amount of time together without distractions from the outside world. In the end, it should help them bond.  Anyways, knowing nothing about the other, these men dove into the burrowing, hoping their partner would accept them. I almost had to visit the dentist after this one. Adam was one of the most caring and sweetest alpha foxes in the world of shifters. He was ...

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...
