Savage Rivals Review 

Asher and Levi were captains for the football team of rival high schools. Not only were they enemies on the football field but off as well. An elite school against a regular high school. A rich guy against one not so much. Their hatred simmered and boiled over to the point of no return. One banter led to another which broke out into fights. Love came thereafter. A Halloween prank gone wrong and both men were thrust into a different sensation. 

I, for one, thought Becca Steele was a genius to write this masterpiece. I enjoyed every second of it. Devoured it in one night.  It had been a while since I enjoyed a story so much. First of all, the football she used was the real football I grew up knowing was actual football. The one where if you touch the ball with your hand, it’s a penalty. I adored that she used this football. I could definitely relate. This book was the essence of the enemies-to-lovers trope. They hated each other until they didn’t. 

A lot of writers could learn a thing or two from this book. Asher and Levi’s banter was off the charts. I couldn’t help but smile through it all. When the romance came into play, I thanked the lucky stars Goodreads recommended this book to me. Their romance was actual romance. It wasn’t all lust but spending quality time with each other, going on hide-out dates even before they called it dates. It was amazing and refreshing that at least one author out there knows what romance is. It’s not death. Most people just keep it to themselves. 

The smut scenes were phenomenal. I got everything I didn’t know I wanted going into this read. I would recommend it to any fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope. I could give a list of reasons why this book would make your day, but I would probably go on a rant and share too many spoilers. So, I’m going to leave it like this.

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 ...
