Four Psychos (The Dark Side, #1) Review

Four Psychos? Honestly, I never understood why the book is called this. Yes, there were four guys. Were they psychos? No. Or not my type of psychos. I went into the book, thinking dark and riveting. I never got that. Nor the spice. But...yep...I liked it, nonetheless. Kristy gave me something I never expected to gobble up like Four Psychos whether the men were stable or not. 

Lucifer? Now, that is the definition of psycho and what I was expecting from the four stars. I would totally date him. Not in real life, though. But he seems hot in my head. In an age-gap kind of romance. 

A sad side note - I never read the synopsis, so I went into this blind. I should really stop doing this. 

If anyone would ask me who was my favorite out of the four men, I wouldn't know. Their knight in ghostly armor ate up all my attention. (Side joke) I was a bit confused at the beginning of chapter one.  As the story progressed, so did my understanding of what was going on. And I loved Keyla---me trying to jog my memory if this is how her name was spelled. 

She had me cringing, laughing, and cursing the men on her behalf. Everything she did kept me moving forward. I stopped caring about the men---not like I gave a rat's ass about them from day one, but you get the drift---because she was the perfect protagonist. I'm not usually a fan of one point of view but being in this not-so-ghost's head made my day. If only all female leads could be this amazing then most books would be more readable. Like if the book was named after her, I would have understood and accepted it. 

There were times when her actions contradicted her thoughts. A bit weird. It wasn't anything major to distract me from the ride Kristy meant to take me on. I got irritated with the guys, which got me dropping off a star. It pissed me off even more that she couldn't just drop them. Like gosh! This is me being angry, remembering the story after waiting several days to write the review. 

Okay, maybe I should start from the start. After five years of watching four mystery men, this ghost got a chance to be recognized when men broke into their house to kill said men. My girl saved their asses and got the attention she needed---or not to a certain extent. They were more assholes than psychos and none of them deserved her. Even so, these five people had to solve the mystery of who they were while trying to stay alive in purgatory. So yes, the book had a great plot. The men were not so worth it. The female lead was badass. Some of the side characters held more interest to me. It ended on a cliffhanger. But go ahead and read it for yourself, you might just get it or them.

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...
