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.

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...
