Scored (Nashville Grizzlies, #2) Review 


When the name Yuri came to mind, it reminded me of the manga Yuri on Ice. And this Yuri may not have been a figure skater nor a uke but he did work on the ice. Even so, the name tugged at my curiosity, and I had to read this novel. This Yuri wasn't Korean but Russian and had much more masculinity to him to be interested in BDSM. That sent my brain into overdrive and here we are a day later.

Igor, a retired goalie, and a soon-to-be hockey goalie coach, underwent surgery during the off-season after his retirement. Yuri, his best friend of five years, decided to stay in Nashville to take care of him instead of going back to Russia to spend the off-season with his family. For the first time, the two men were stuck together for more than a few hours. With Yuri's perfectionist side and Igor's stubbornness, the two best friends had to navigate how to tolerate each other and their growing attraction for one another. 

Scored was a cute little story. Even with words such as BDSM thrown into the mix, it wasn't anything dark. Yuri was a wonderful dom, who loved taking care of his best friend, even if he never thought of him as a sub. The two were perfectly matched. I adored how Carrly took the time out to show her readers the struggle friends could go through with the shift from friend-zoned to growing sexual attraction. I enjoyed every bit of it. 

The fact, Igor was confused about the new world his sexuality scuba-dived into was even better to read about. He gave the most realistic reaction any character could ever have in such a situation. Carly brought out a huge gem in every great relationship. Communication. No matter who we are or who we love, a relationship can never work without proper communication. Bravo to Carly for pointing this out. 

All in all, a good read. A cute friends-to-lovers romance. Couldn't have asked for anything else. Though the transition into the attraction from chapter two to chapter three seemed a little forced. However, Carly slowed it down and helped me to witness the growth in the romance between the two characters as the story progressed. That was good enough for me to enjoy the book. So, go ahead. Get your copy and read it.

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...
