  Book Source: Store  Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Trouble (Winter Sun, #3) Review I liked Kirby from book one. Thus, I skipped book two to read Trouble. Like the first book, book three sucked me in from the first paragraph of the prologue. Hugh was a sweetheart. Now I can't decide which Alpha I like better. Burke or Hugh? Gosh, can't I take both? Like I could reverse harem these men. Yep. That sounds better.  Kirby and Hugh have been skipping around each other for three years. No amount of sweet talk could wear out Kirby. Hugh thought patience would do the trick. Even though the famous porn star, Kirby, made it hard for him to see any light in the dark tunnel of love and relationship.  Kirby adored the big sexy alpha. Desperate to keep his friend, he made the rule to never have sex with anyone in the circle. Co-workers and nobody else. A great plan until his heat cycle was ...

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Series Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 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...

  Book Source: Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Novel Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Boyfriend Goals by Riley Hart Review  Milo and Gideon were the protagonists of Boyfriend Goals. Although Best friend Goals seemed a more suitable book title. At least to me. Gideon was a neurodivergent accountant who had never explored life without his mother. A real momma's boy. It all came to a halt when he learned he had a grandmother who died and left him her bookstore and a tenant. He grabbed the opportunity to spread his wings with both hands, quit his job, and traveled to an Island in Maine. This was where he met his tenant, Gideon, a sweet tattoo artist, and his tenant. The duo hit it off and became the best of friends within twenty-four hours.  It had been a while since I read a sweet and perky story such as this one. It was a bit of fresh air from all the dark reads I had been reading for the past month. I never thought I would...

  Book Source: Author Ariana Nash (ARC Read) Cross Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Ongoing Series  Starred Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶/5 Fool Me Once (Court of Pain, #1) Review  Okay, this one had me. Hands down, I am in love with Razak. And yes, it is an unhealthy decision since he was the type of guy parents warn their daughters or sons about. But I got to hand it to Ariana, she worked her magic on him. I presumed everyone else would hate but I couldn’t help but love his artistry. He brought the V out in Villain. The guy was brilliant. When is book two coming out because I need more of that guy? This psycho was too loud to ignore. Thanks, Ariana for giving me the privilege of reading this arc. I never would have gotten the chance to meet Razak otherwise.   Okay, okay. I’m done gushing after the wrong guy. Back to my review. Fool Me Once was book one in the Court of Pain series. A MM romance centered around Prince Arin and the so-call...

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...

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-post Review:   Goodreads Review Type of book: Novel Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Spice Radar: 🌶🌶 Keeper Review  I am a big fan of the trope friends to lovers’ romance. Therefore, when Goodreads recommended this book to me, I had to read it. I went into this one expecting much more than I got. Kingston and Camden were childhood best friends who were also seniors in high school. Camden, the responsible---I didn’t want to use this word but it was the only one that came to mind---took care of his younger sister as well as the football team and his best friend Kingston. Kingston, on the other hand, was the opposite.  I thought long on hard about how to speak about Kingston. This guy was hellbent on staying in the present. God forbid anyone from talking about the future around him. I couldn’t with him. He was just too much. I couldn’t help but be shocked by some of the crap that came out of his mouth. Even so, he had a caring side which I thought ...

  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...

  Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Type: Novel  Genre: MM Romance  Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Don't You Dare was recommended to me by Goodreads. They thought because I read Luke from the Unexpected Series, I would like this book too. I was never the type to turn down a recommendation. Even though it was not on my November TBR , I squeezed in a read. Public outing, bi-curiosity, and a few other trigger warnings are present. Without further a due, let's get going with the review.  Don't You Dare Review  Don't you dare was a novel by CE Ricci. A friends to lovers romance. This MM Romance started with a game referred to as the title. A spin off of Truth or Dare. Keene and Aspen were nothing more than best friends until the game changed everything. One kiss and Keene's sexuality shattered. Another attempted one and the hidden truth came out. ' Friends help friends, right? It's some kind of hidden...
