The Ex Hex (The Ex Hex, #1) Review 

The Ex Hex was one of those read that took me forever to get into. Maybe it was the cover. I had no idea what it was that made me want to hide away from it. Still, I put my big girl’s glasses on and dove into the book. By the end of the prologue, I convinced myself to continue. It was pleasing to read. Then the book happened, and I was…not loving it.

Vivi and Rhys had a short summer fling---because it was a fling---only to break up because of a revealed secret. I thought Vivi took things out of proportion but what the hell do I know? I’m in the minority. Love is love and, in this case, I thought it was nothing but lust. Anyways, as I said, what do I know. Nine years later, Rhys was sent to Graves Glen to strengthen the ley lines on Founder’s Day. Only to discover his ex had cursed him. Not only that, but the town was suffering because of it. A great story line. Yay!

One phrase could describe this for me. Not my cup of tea. I enjoyed some of it. For the most part. The mystery of breaking the curse got me curious and excited and all those good stuff. I loved Gwyn. Adored her, maybe. She held my interest for the most part.

I was not a big fan of the concept around the curse. That was after the big picture came into view. Heck, I didn’t like it from the get-go. Innocent people in the town were experiencing shit because some girl got mad her three months of dating crumbled. Or her ex was a douche. Oh, not to mention, a man had to suffer because not him, but his ancestor did something shitty in the past. An ancestor that was dead. DEAD! Wonderful. That was just breathtaking. There were many cute moments between Vivi and Rhys. Still, there was nothing mind-blowing to make me love the story.

I will still recommend it. Nothing would take that away. Was there romance? I have to agree it wasn’t all about lust. Erin Sterling did wonders in portraying romance and love between all the chaos on the pages. Smut was involved but it wasn’t extreme. I would say taste worthy. Otherwise, get yourself a copy and get reading.

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 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...

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...
