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.

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 ...

Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Ugly (Winter Sun, #1) Review I was in the mood for an omegaverse when I stumbled on Ugly. My God was I not disappointed in my spontaneous decision. Ugly was that MM Romance I never knew I had to read. Like Burke, you could take care of me any day. Any day.  Emerson, a homeless omega, had found solitude in the bar of an older Alpha for the past three months. He never had a problem with the routine exchange of a few meals for a petty job here and there around the bar with the large alpha. Burke was caring and made him feel safe.  Burke could care less about the chores he asked the omega to do. It was a simple trade. Plus, Emerson never caused problems and often left after. Until one winter night. Three days before his heat cycle started, Emerson ended up in Burke's bar begging him to be allowed to stay until his cycle was over. The...

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...
