  Book Source: Book Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type of Book: Standalone Series  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Spice Rating: 🌶🌶/5 Snuggle Season (Burrowing Hearts, #1) Review 'You're mine.' Who doesn't love this quote when in an omegaverse?  To kick off Rainbow Month, I picked up this short read. And it was the best fit for me who just came out of a reading slump. The chapters were short and easy to read, too. Weston and Adam were fox shifters, going into their burrowing season. For those who have no idea what that means. It's like a mating period for foxes where they spend a certain amount of time together without distractions from the outside world. In the end, it should help them bond.  Anyways, knowing nothing about the other, these men dove into the burrowing, hoping their partner would accept them. I almost had to visit the dentist after this one. Adam was one of the most caring and sweetest alpha foxes in the world of shifters. He was ...

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...

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...

Novel Source: Kindle  Cross-post Review:  Goodreads Review Type: MM Romance Novel  Starred rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Savage Rivals Review  Asher and Levi were captains for the football team of rival high schools. Not only were they enemies on the football field but off as well. An elite school against a regular high school. A rich guy against one not so much. Their hatred simmered and boiled over to the point of no return. One banter led to another which broke out into fights. Love came thereafter. A Halloween prank gone wrong and both men were thrust into a different sensation.  I, for one, thought Becca Steele was a genius to write this masterpiece. I enjoyed every second of it. Devoured it in one night.  It had been a while since I enjoyed a story so much. First of all, the football she used was the real football I grew up knowing was actual football. The one where if you touch the ball with your hand, it’s a penalty. I adored that she used t...

Book Source: Kindle Cross-post Review:  Goodreads Review Starred Rating: ⭐⭐ Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶 Type of Book: Novel The Ritual The ritual by Shantel Tessier was one of those reads everyone was talking about. I noticed it on Tick-Tok and had to get the book. Ever since then, it had been sitting on my TBR, moping to be read. A few days ago, I noticed a few of my book friends reading it and thought I would jump on the bandwagon. To say I was taken on a ride was an understatement. Not a good one. Ryat and Blakely were the two protagonists in this dark college romance. Ryat joined a secret society referred to as Lords and lived in a fancy hotel off campus. What’s not interesting about that? I witnessed each stage he went through in this cult since his freshman year. This built up to why the book was titled The Ritual because, hey, during senior year, every successful Lord was given a chance to choose a chosen one. Each chosen would have to go through a ritual. In other words, a chosen o...

Book Source: BookSiren Cross-post Review:   Chantie's Goodreads Review Type of Story: Standalone Series Smut Radar: 🌶️🌶️ /5 Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Shifted Dimension by Delta James was the third book in the Looking Glass Multiverse Series. This story was centered around Gage, a game programmer, and Chance, an alpha. When Gage programmed her game 'Shifted Dimension' she had no idea what was in store for her. One minute she went to the restroom and heard voices, the next she woke to a sexy ass male in her bedroom. The protagonist of the game she programmed. Yes, people, an arrogant alpha. One mishap of identity led to a steamy altercation. Before she knew it, she was whisked off to another dimension. The same one she created.  The plotline was interesting. I kept wanting to find out who was behind everything. The ending was not what I hoped for, but good, nonetheless.  I was not a big fan of Chance since around the third or fourth chapter. Even so, I pushed through, h...

  Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 Type of Novel: Series Genre: Dark Romance  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The third book in the Vicious Lost Boys and the final book that has been published. I don't want to get too in dept in the review to spoil anything, but this book was eye opening. I do advise reading the content warnings before jumping into this series.  Their Vicious Darling (Vicious Lost Boys, #3) Book three of the Vicious Lost Boys series was Their Vicious Darling . Nikki St. Crowe returned to centering the title around Winnie. Plotwise, it portrayed Neverland and the conflicts each character had between each other. I was not sure what to expect from book three. The Dark One ended with a bang. One that I did not approve of, but it was a great cliffhanger, nonetheless.  Their Vicious Darling opened with the point of view of a new character. I was not sure why that scene mattered. I continued anyw...

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...

Book Source: Kindle Store  Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 Type of Novel: Series  Genre: Dark Romance  Starred Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐   The Never King is a book I have seen being hyped on TikTok. I even added it to my TBR list. Never touched it and read older books. Then, it got selected for the themed book of our found family trope. I pushed all other books aside and started the Vicious Lost Boys series. I can't decide if I love it or not. Maybe I am hanging in limbo. We should get to the review.  The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys, #1) Review  Nikki St. Crowe wrote The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys Book, #1) . This Dark Romance centered around Peter Pan and Wendy’s great-granddaughter, Winnie. All the Darlings women before her were kidnapped by Peter Pan only to be returned later with mental illnesses. Winnie feared she would be among them soon. Then her eighteenth birthday arrived, and she was whisked away to Neverland. H...

  Book Source: Kindle Store  Cross-Post Review:   Chantie's Goodread Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 Part of Series: Yes Genre: MM Romance  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I first bumped into Whit  on my surf through Goodreads. One of my friends was reading it. Though it was a part of a series, I was in the mood for reading a male-on-male romance. And I was glad I did. This queer romance involves triggers such profanity, sex scenes, self-harm, mentions of child abuse, and coming out. If any of these floats your boat, then let's get into it.  Whit (Unexpected, #1) Review  Whit (unexpected, #1) written by Cora Rose was a MM masterpiece. Caleb, the protagonist, was a once straight guy, who became curious about his roommate, Whit. Curiosity did not kill this cat. He got the good-good. Two men with opposite personalities had one thing in common. The desire for the other. Their time together as roommates pushed them to accept each other. It never helped much whe...
