Of Savage and Queens (Of Savage and Queens, #1) Review 


Of Savages and Queens was the first installment of the series. Eliza was thrown into a new court at the request of her queen to seduce the lord of Winterhaven. To ensure the Lord keeps his allegiance to the Queen, Eliza would be able to ensure her family’s safety and lost wealth. The problem was Winterhaven was different from every other court. Where she was used to prep and proper, she was now exposed to erotic and sexual freedom. Despite the difference, Eliza had to achieve her mission to save her family and herself. 

The description stated the story didn’t have much of a plot. I beg to differ. Though there were a lot of erotic scenes, the story had a structured outline. There even was a HEA. I adored that which made the read all the more satisfying. I couldn’t help but want a book for Thomas and the princess. Something about them made me want to get to know how their story would go. Even though they were assholes. Still, they fit. 

I am not a big fan of shy female leads with morally grey male leads but something about Eliza fit with Lord Marlow. I wasn’t annoyed but loved their interactions. Even though most of the time they were in compromised situations. This is the point where I’m snickering. Lord Marlow was adorable on most occasions yet rough when needed to be. Because by God, I never expected a no-shirt-wearing Lord. And did Marie deliver with this hot stud. Okay, I'm calming down. Back to the review. Eliza developed---yes, even though the story was short, there was character development which made me happy----with the story. I loved that and it and would very much like to read book two. 

The short read had me satisfied. I never expected it would, but it did. At the end of the book, I didn’t have any questions. The author gave everything a reader---me---would want. I would recommend this to readers who are looking for a spicy yet well-rounded story. I am happy for the free ARC Read from BookSiren. It was well-worth reading. Yeah, this is my honest and voluntary review.

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 ...
