A delightfully naughty romance featuring a virgin witch, a "cock-blocking" demon, and a long-term couple, a vampire and a werewolf, who are more than happy to add a third to their already hot as all get out relationship. Especially if it means their sexual prowess can help banish the witch's demon forever.

Elle hates Jackson with the fire of a thousand burning suns. He wronged her, publicly humiliated her kink, and then slept with her best friend's little sister.

Now trapped with him at her bestie's island destination wedding, Elle is going to make him pay. And Jackson wants her to make it hurt.

So refreshing to read about a female domme coming into her own. I liked seeing Elle completely accept her sexuality, but also struggle with the ramifications of trying to find a partner perfectly suited for her, her unicorn. While I was so mad at Jackson so many times, I also appreciated his journey, his ready admittance that he was a terrible person, and being totally into Elle's kink. Masculinity comes in all forms, and I loved having hero who was so comfortable in himself that he had no qualms about being seen as "less" because he loves having his partner tie him up, dominate him, etc.

A novella featuring how Elle and Jackson got engaged. We know that Elle and Jackson get married (at the end of their novel, Something Borrowed), but Dangerfield gifts us here with how Jackson finally asked Elle.

What gets between Jackson's proposal to his decidedly un-traditional lover is his terrible mother, who keeps walking in (purposely, ew) to their kinky bedroom games. Jackson's mother doesn't think Elle is good enough for her beautiful son. According to Jackson's mother, Elle's too weird, not pretty enough, and will not let Jackson be the 'man' in their relationship. When Jackson doesn't immeditely take Elle's side, their relationship status is put into turmoil, all while Jackson is trying to hide his "engagement ring," his handcuff tattoo with Elle's name hidden within it's ink.

Loved getting another glimpse at this couple.

Calvin inherited his grandfather's beloved but going under bookstore in Big Sur. Despite his attachment to the store and the community of poetic, hippie community of Big Sur, Calvin's brain knows selling it is the right thing to do.

Before he finalizes a sale, Calvin does keep the store open to accommodate a high-end fashion shoot set to take place over a week, a booking that will help bolster the store's failing finances.

What Calvin isn't expecting is his immediate and intense attraction to the uber-famous fashion model Lucia Bell. Of course she is beautiful, but there's just something about Lucia, something that is making it pretty clear nerdy Calvin may be a gentlemen in the streets but is definitely a controlling alpha-in-the-sheets. It doesn't hurt Lucia is also into poetry and all of the nerdy things Calvin enjoyed growing up in the bookstore.

Lucia is also stunned by this connection but isn't sure where it will go. Both are set in their lives and neither seem to want to change.

A fun read, very sexy and poetic. I didn't really enjoy Calvin's character as I read this too soon after hearing about a IRL famous nerd being outed for shameful behavior. I was more intrigued by the secondary characters and was pleased to find out they have their own book!

Featuring the secondary characters from Bohemian and set during the same time period as that book, this is a lovely, lyrical, and sexy as all get out book featuring a heroine coming to terms with her dominant nature and the hero is longing for it.

Loved makeup artist Josie's backstory, her grit, and her very real reasons for being scared of commitment. Josie's ex gas-lit her for years, emotionally abused her, and then left her with no warning at the altar. She's had a rough road to finding herself but with the help of her best friend and client, the beautiful model from Bohemian, Josie is finally getting there. Her life in LA and the support of her Mexican-American family also are totally there for her.

Enter her ultimate fantasy, the sexy, hirsute, bearded lumberjack Gabe Shaw. He owns the local bar in Big Sur that Josie and her fellow coworkers on the photo shoot frequent while in town, and he is immediately entranced by the beautiful Josie.

Josie agrees to a one-night stand, but after getting trapped in Big Sur by a natural disaster, Gabe and Josie continue their exploration of their attraction, Josie's dominance, and Gabe's willingness to submit.

When neither seem willing to relocate, will this new romance be dead on arrival, especially when it seems Gabe may be a bit too all in, too soon?

Two half-sisters who will never meet have divergent destinies, both for themselves and their lineage, due to the slave trade. With a unique character and time period for each chapter, Gyasi explores the themes of family, belief, complicity, and history. A thought-provoking and timeless new classic.

My only wish is that each chapter included the specific year(s) covered, but this may be an intentional omission to make the reader hungry to know more and look it up themselves. I made extensive use of the family trees included in the first pages of the novel and look forward to creating some art while discussion with my book club.

When an ex-Navy SEAL and a recently released from jail arsonist and escape artist are forced to work together on a new task force of former cons for the Chicago PD, sparks immediately fly. Distrustful but unable to deny their immediate attraction, Erin O'Dea and Connor Bannon fall almost instantly into a relationship, an odd relationship tested by the fact Connor needs control and Erin cannot stand being touched.

As they work with the new task force (put together by the delicious Lt. Derek from "Protecting What's His") and struggle with their personal hangups, they still find a way to very sexily enjoy each other.

The actual plot points about the job they were working were very secondary for me as I was totally addicted to seeing how Bailey would make sexy-times between an uber-alpha male and a woman who could not bear being touched work. Oh, and work it did. So hot. Erin's touch issues did get resolved a bit too easily for my liking, but hey whatever. Good times, fun audio book. The female narrator did wonderful Bronx accent for Connor.

Looking forward to going back to see Bowen and Sera's story (book 1) and seeing what's up with the con-artist Austin and the hacker Polly!

The premise was so intriguing, but unfortunately I was a bit disappointed in the overall execution of the story. There were a lot of "police transcript" sections and a lot of the characters sitting around talking about what happened, how it could have happened, and what they should do about it, rather than actually being in the moment. The ending did pick up the action and horror, and we do get to see a character from a different King series, but this wasn't really what I was hoping for. Also, it felt very long, which while true, is normally not how I feel when reading King novels.

A short, tiny novel chock full of squeamish, squirm inducing scenes involving young people (barely twenty) who fuck each other bodies and minds. I truly do not like the cover, as it really doesn't fit with the story.

Content warning: child abuse, child sexual abuse, guns, descriptions of rape, torture, sexual torture. Most of the sexual violence takes place off of the page and is not described in detail. Gun violence is rampant, as is other forms of psychical violence.

Justice Parish is part of a league of vigilantes who's mission is to end the lives of evil men who make their money from bringing harm to women. In this instance, Justice is out to kill the two brother's who run a lucrative sex-trafficking ring and who are connected to the death of Justice's biological sister (I think?).

Justice's cover is that of a rich, socialite PR specialist, and that is what ex-Special Forces now humanitarian Sandresh Ross thinks after his newly created agency is hooked up with the wealthy Parish family. But, he discovers Justice is far more than the sexy, dark haired ingenue he took her for after they have to battle out of a bad situation in Jordan.

After Justice comes clean to Sandresh, they discover Justice may have been betrayed by one of her own adopted siblings, and many other forces come to a head to try and kill them both as they fall in love.

The premise is super cool, and I was really in the mood for a book about women kicking butt and taking names. That said, the narrative was very choppy, and there was a ton of purple prose. Many many similes about Justice's dark eyes that were just a bit ridiculous after the first couple. Very insta-love (but if that's your thing, go for it). There was just so much going on to build this world, I'm hoping the author will be able to settle into it in the subsequent novels. I'm definitely going to keep reading!

Also, Justice is briefly described as being Native American (Choctaw), which is awesome, but I never really figured out why a white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed hero" was named Sandresh. Really, besides his time in the Special Forces and his mom with Alzheimer's, the reader wasn't really given much backstory on Sandresh.
