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.

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...
