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.

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...
