“You never stick a fork in an electrical appliance.” He rolls his eyes at me, and I grab his wrist tighter, wrenching the fork from his hand. “I’m serious. Don’t do it.” I have a feeling Diablo now wants to do it just because I told him not to. I can see him in the middle of the night, sneaking over to the toaster to try it. Just to see if I’m right.
My first Cora Rose book, and I am definitely going back and reading more from this series. I gotta admit I found Diablo to be exhausting in the beginning, but when his facade started to crack and we could see the vulnerable boy underneath all the mouthing off, he just made me cry a little. And if it wasn’t sad, it was really hot, or made me laugh. Highly entertaining, and I would definitely recommend.
Diablo snorts so loudly he chokes, slapping his knee and turning purple. I debate pulling the car over to do the Heimlich and then decide to let him ride it out. He deserves to choke. The little shit.
Skylar grew on me more and more during the book as well, especially when he responded with tenderness instead of anger in the face of massive tantrums, lol. That’s a patient man right there. I am also a massive fan of size differences, so this one was *chefs kiss*
I have never in my life been touched like this. Tenderly, almost reverently. I hate it. Hate that I want it. Hate that when this is all over I have something to look back on and yearn for.
I haven’t read a lot of it, but I thought the dub-con and CNC was done really well here. It was hot instead of making me uncomfortable.
“Diablo! For fuck’s sake!” My lips turn up as I realize that he’s found the cactus in his duffle. I pricked my hand a thousand times grabbing it and regret nothing.
“Is that what this is now? Exclusivity?” “You want to share?” My stomach churns at the thought. “No. If you fucked someone else, I’d have to commit murder.”

«Didn’t every child long for approval from their parents, even if their parents were totally off the map?»
Entertaining, but didn’t fully capture my attention.
3.75 stars rounded up
I really like omegaverse, but they all tend to blend together after a while because a lot of the time they feel like they follow the same script. Finding omegaverse books that feel original and unique isn’t always easy, but I enjoyed this one a fair amount. Sure, it’s instalove, a matchmaking agency, etc., but the circumstances made it different. One of the MCs has a UV light allergy, which of course would make anyone’s life difficult, but he also grew up in a cult where the members thought he was a demon because of his inhability to tolerate sunlight. He was treated quite horribly by his family and community. Thankfully his match through the agency treats him way better.
«Father once told me I was the most beautiful of his sons but added that it was no surprise to him because the devil used extreme beauty in demons to entice the pure souls of mortal men.»
Speaking of his match. Morgan was really sweet and did everything he could for his mate Riley. The book was very much focused on Riley and his upbringing (understandably so), which means I didn’t connect quite as much with Morgan, but I’m still glad he got the family he always wanted.
«“Did you just make a joke? In my time of need?”»
Mild spoiler warning.
I think this is the first time I’ve read mpreg where the birth was actually on-page.
Overall entertaining and sweet. I liked how the MCs communicated well about sex and limits even thought they were in the middle of heat and rut respectively. Breath of fresh air in an omegaverse novel.

«I might as well lay my cards on the table.” Sam shrugs. “Yes, I see the dead.” “How?” I ask curiously. “Near death experience.” His tone is casual. “You?” “Choked to death on an ice cube,” I admit and when his brows rise, I shake my head and roll my eyes. “Don’t ask.”»
These books are just endlessly entertaining. I love the humor, the britishness of it all, the relationship between Danny and Tristan just gets sweeter and sweeter, and I have really enjoyed the mystery in each book. I like not knowing what’s going on or whodunnit, but without feeling like an absolute idiot for not knowing like I sometimes do if I read ‘high brow’ murder mysteries/crime books.
«Chan lets out a scream that can only be described as “Cheerleader Number Two Gets Murdered.”»
The last 40% had me absolutely captivated, and it was all playing like a fast-paced movie in my head. I loved getting Bruce’s story, and I even cried my eyes out at one point, which, in a book where I’ve laughed out loud several times, I think is really impressive. If you enjoy anything that resembles paranormal rom-coms, you should read this series. I don’t even like series with the same couple in every book, but I love this one.
«“Oh my god,” I mutter. “It’s like Drag Race meets The Lion King.” “I was thinking more The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” Sam chuckles as he eyes Chan’s costume. “Oh, Christ. Please tell me that’s not what you’re performing,” I beg. “I’ll be humming that earworm for days.”»
I have an alarming amount of highlighted quotes from this book, and I sadly can’t add them all.

«I’d never wish premature ejaculation on any man, but god I hope he’s a fast finisher. Some of us have an apocalypse to avert.»
«“Now, what did we say about scaring the mortals?” Chan sighs as she brushes a hand over his shoulder like she’s brushing non-existent lint off his pristine suit. Death gives a long-suffering moan. “I wasn’t scaring it. If I wanted to do that, I’d simply take my true form.” “Yes, darling, you’re very scary in your oversized bathrobe.” “It’s a death shroud,” he replies haughtily, looking quite insulted.»
«The “Batmobile” in this instance happens to be a slightly dented blue Honda Jazz. Admittedly, it’s a bit of a letdown—not exactly a 1967 Chevy Impala, is it?—but we work with what we’ve got.»

Hunter snagged him around the waist and lifted him off his feet. Eli squealed with laughter as Hunter spun them in a quick circle, taking the opportunity to blow a raspberry on his neck before setting the breathless, giggling boy back down.
I don’t tend to read novellas, but I’m glad I finally read this one. I’m very impressed with how the author has managed to fit a great (believable) connection, fantastic spice, surprising amounts of emotion, sky-high sexual tension *and* daddy kink into this little novella. It really felt like a complete story, and it actually made me cry a little. There’s obviously not tons to say about it, but man, don’t sleep on this author. I was super impressed by their book Something Unforgettable as well.
If you’re into fantastic sexual tension that lasts even after the MCs get together (and I mean, who isn’t into that), then I highly recommend this one. The daddy kink was the cherry on top. The epilogue also tied up the only loose end we got, which I appreciated.
I got a little scared on the very first page of Hunter’s first chapter because it seemed so off in comparison to who/how I thought he would be, but I think it was a small case of ‘missed the mark’. It lasted literally two pages and then he was back to his awesome, daddy self. I am also very sensitive to that kinda thing, so I’m sure most folks wouldn’t notice.

Hunter’s eyes softened and Eli couldn’t help noticing the way they crinkled at the corners. Hunter was a little older than he’d first assumed. That was hot.
“Make sure you only order drinks from me tonight.” Eli blinked at him and frowned in confusion. “I want to know exactly how much you’ve had before I ask to walk you home later.”

Red (Russel) is the character I’ve been most excited about after reading the other two books. He’s a gentle giant, redhead, freckled, and infamous puppy eyes that can get him whatever he wants. He’s got PTSD, but he also listens to and dances to disco when cooking. I loved him. He met Laz in book 1, and they had an instant connection and good chemistry which definitely kept going in this one. These books are just straight up easy entertainment. Fun, hot and, atleast in this one, a better mystery/suspense than in book 1.
Greg Boudreaux did a fantastic job on the audiobook as usual.

“Stay?” he whispers into my skin. “You stole my shoes. I kind of have to stay, don’t I?” I glance at him, gaze catching his. “Stay because you want to,” he says softly. In the end, the decision isn’t that difficult. “I’ll stay.”
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Briar Prescott can write her socks off. The premise of the story was also really good, unique and kept me interested throughout. I did however not really like the character Jude much at all, so while I don’t regret listening to the book or anything, it just wasn’t the right tropes and characters for me.
I’ve heard so much praise for this book and have friends that wanted me to read it, so I kinda forgot about making sure it was a story I would actually be interested in. Got a bit blinded by the shiny-new-thing with the pretty cover. Totally on me, not the author.
To be fair (to me), I think a lot of us can agree that Jude is a bit of a dick, lol, and it changed a bit quickly from the MCs not wanting to get together, to banging a lot, which really created a disconnect for me.
“[…] That you never get to say goodbye to most people. They’re there, and then they’re gone, and nobody cares that you’re left behind with all those words you never got to say that are now trapped inside you for good.”
The final parts of the book definitely held my attention more, and it did make me cry eventually. A highly emotional book with a very original plot that will keep you guessing all the way through. I’m impressed by how the author also kept the tension super high throughout, like I was constantly waiting for something bad to happen.
If these tropes are for you though, don’t let my review negatively sway you. The writing is top notch.
I will say, the narrator made it difficult to distinguish between who was speaking at times, which didn’t help.
“[…] You’re so afraid people will screw you over that you avoid anything more serious than being somebody’s passing acquaintance. Once the girl at Starbucks started spelling your name correctly you were all, ‘Well, this is getting awfully serious,’ and started going to a different coffee shop!”

I liked it a lot, but wanted to like it even more. Both MCs in this were really likable, and it was sort of an enemies to lovers situation, but mostly one-sided. One of the MCs had something happen to him which led to losing trust and kind of guarding himself and refusing to lose control of his own life, so while he resented having a bodyguard for a while, he didn’t hate his *actual* bodyguard, the other MC (I love not having to read between, under, over and behind every line to find the motivation for an MCs actions). Their dynamic was really good and they had great chemistry from the start.
So, why didn’t I love love it? Well, nothing blew up! It took ages before someones life was in peril, and other than an action sequence in the first chapter (which was completely unrelated to the actual ‘case’ in this book), there wasn’t any suspense or action until way late in the book. Now, I am a massive fan of romantic suspense, and the more action, external drama and trauma the better, so maybe don’t use my thoughts as any form of measurement lol, but this would’ve been five stars if only there was a little threat sprinkled here and there throughout the middle of the book. You know, a threatening letter, a weird-ass phone call with heavy breathing on the other end, mysterious dead animals with ominous notes on the doorstep. All that good shit. I really enjoyed the romance, but I forgot one of the MCs was even supposed to be in danger sometimes. Oh well, I’m still already onto book 2, and I’ve read (and listened) to book 3. This series is highly entertaining and I find Charlie Cochet’s writing really sweet and funny and easy to consume, as it were. Just needed to vent out my why-is-noone-nearly-dying-every-other-chapter heart.
I listened to it on audio so no quotes this time.

I liked it a lot, but wanted to like it even more. Both MCs in this were really likable, and it was sort of an enemies to lovers situation, but mostly one-sided. One of the MCs had something happen to him which led to losing trust and kind of guarding himself and refusing to lose control of his own life, so while he resented having a bodyguard for a while, he didn’t hate his *actual* bodyguard, the other MC (I love not having to read between, under, over and behind every line to find the motivation for an MCs actions). Their dynamic was really good and they had great chemistry from the start.
So, why didn’t I love love it? Well, nothing blew up! It took ages before someones life was in peril, and other than an action sequence in the first chapter (which was completely unrelated to the actual ‘case’ in this book), there wasn’t any suspense or action until way late in the book. Now, I am a massive fan of romantic suspense, and the more action, external drama and trauma the better, so maybe don’t use my thoughts as any form of measurement lol, but this would’ve been five stars if only there was a little threat sprinkled here and there throughout the middle of the book. You know, a threatening letter, a weird-ass phone call with heavy breathing on the other end, mysterious dead animals with ominous notes on the doorstep. All that good shit. I really enjoyed the romance, but I forgot one of the MCs was even supposed to be in danger sometimes. Oh well, I’m still already onto book 2, and I’ve read (and listened) to book 3. This series is highly entertaining and I find Charlie Cochet’s writing really sweet and funny and easy to consume, as it were. Just needed to vent out my why-is-noone-nearly-dying-every-other-chapter heart.
I listened to it on audio so no quotes this time.

How could anyone be so innocent and so devious at the same time?
Sweet, hot, a little kinky, violent and bloody, and of course a touch of suspense. Everything I have come to expect from an Onley James book, and it delivered on all fronts. I remember reading an excerpt a while back from a scene where the other students basically treat Gift like a pet, giving him and his chubby cheeks all of the cuddles, and I was immediately smitten. His character is a delight. Yeah, he’s got a bit of the ‘innocent blushing virgin’ thing going on, but that’s far from his entire personality. He needs to be taken care of, but also wants autonomy and to be his own man, which he is. He can take care of himself and stand up for himself when it’s needed, and he knows what he wants. That, along with letting the psychopaths in the assassin school manhandle him into hugs whenever they please, just made me go ‘awww’ basically all of the time. I want to adopt him.
Gift yelped as Payton grabbed him beneath his arms and dragged him into his lap, squeezing him tightly. “I missed you.”
I also liked Park a lot. There is of course an element of ‘forbidden fruit’ here as it’s student/teacher as well as ‘best friend’s kid’, but it wasn’t overdone, imo. They are all murderers teaching young adults to be assassins, so riding that high horse too hard would’ve gotten annoying really quick, lol. It was more of a personal moral dilemma situation. Park took charge in bed and has a strong protective streak, but he doesn’t smother Gift, which I appreciate.
“I loved you as a meek innocent virgin. I love you as my needy little baby. I love you as my mouthy little brat. I love all of you. Every incarnation. In this life and in all the rest.”
Overall, the entire premise of the series is seriously cool. A school for psychopaths and their neurotypical handlers where they learn to be the best assassins? It’s awesome, lol. Can’t wait for the next book.

“Oh, come on. You made us clean up after [redacted] and now, we have to clean this, too?” Morgan whined, flopping onto one of the gym mats. Boone sighed. “Fine. Just this once, I’ll let the professionals handle it. But you will learn proper body disposal. Got it?” “Yes, sir,” they all said in unison.
Should he have been worried about how much he craved Park’s punishments? Even the edging? Maybe he should have been more worried about the fact that he was thinking about his sex life at an execution.
“I can feel you here,” Gift whined, touching his lower belly.
Is that it?” He felt Gift shake his head from his hiding spot before he said, “And also…I like when you’re a little mean to me. When you talk down to me just a little.” Gift leaned back to look at Park, still shy. “But only, like, a little. I don’t want you to be, like, really, really mean to me. Not verbally, anyway. That would make me cry.” “Not verbally, anyway.” Christ. Park gave him a reassuring smile. “I only want to make you cry when you feel good.[…]”

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below. Bear with me, there’s was too many highlights.
Levi flopped onto Shiloh, making himself a dead weight on top of him, resting his head on Shiloh’s chest for a change. Shiloh hugged his head like it was a plushie.
Alright, first off, I think highlighted every single scene Ever was in. I still love that character so much that it’s almost embarassing. His and Shiloh’s friendship was adorable and funny in equal measure.
Ever studied his face like he wanted to make sure Levi wasn’t placating him, but then he turned his attention to Shiloh. The two blinked wide, owlish eyes at each other. It was like watching two baby deer meet for the first time. Ever beamed at Shiloh. “I’m Ever.” “Shiloh,” Shiloh whispered.
This book is really heavy on the complicated family abuse and drama. It definitely does not pull any punches when it comes to showing the ugly sides of having manipulative, narcissistic and abusive family members, so definitely keep that in mind. It was handled really well though. I definitely trust Onley to handle topics like it with respect.
I was fully expecting to fall in love with Shiloh going in (and I did), but I also ended up loving Levi so much. In true Onley James fashion, the characters fall fast and hard, but even when it’s toxic and codependent, you end up rooting for them to make it through. It helps that they know that it’s not healthy. Seeing these guys happy and in love and just living their ‘normal’ lives was nice.
This book was also very spicy (to me anyway), but I liked how it was done. It wasn’t just the same type of scene repeated. It brought both emotion, intimacy and humor to the book, which was neat.
He wasn’t even a person; he was just three mental health issues in a trench coat.
I really enjoyed feeling a bit in the dark about Shiloh’s mental state. It added a different element to the entire book where I didn’t know what would happen. The book didn’t feel nearly as long as it actually is. Another banger from Onley James.

“Don’t say it. Don’t tell me I don’t have to go back, because I do. Don’t tell me you can save me, because you can’t. I can see in your eyes that you’re the hero type. But save it for someone who still has a shot at being a whole person.”
Maybe nothing would happen, maybe he’d wake up in the hospital, maybe he’d sleep for ten days, maybe he’d finally just fade away forever. It would happen. One day. One day, he’d give himself the break he deserved. One day, he would drift off to sleep and never wake up. If there was something on the other side, Shiloh was opting out of coming back for another round. This whole living thing wasn’t for him. The world was a cesspool and humanity was garbage and Shiloh just wanted off this fucking ride. For good.
This whole talk was toxic. The worst kind of co-dependence. Shiloh needed therapy. He needed time to heal. Levi needed therapy, too, if he was being honest. A therapist would probably tell them they shouldn’t be in a relationship, and they’d be right.

«Gideon made him feel small and vulnerable and… protected, but out in the real world, Cal had learned a long time ago that there was nobody who would protect him. Still, this charade was nice. It was nice to imagine somebody caring for him, looking out for him.»
I do love a sad-boy moment. There’s plenty of it in this one.
This book has 13 sex scenes. If you want something smutty with kinky Daddy/boy sex and a third-act plot instead of a third-act breakup, this is definitely the one for you.
I would have enjoyed it a lot more if the eventual plot was expanded on throughout the book, and not just added as what felt like an afterthought, almost. I mean, it’s well-written smut with some fun moments as well as some sad moments, so of course I enjoyed it, but there is something as too much of a good thing.
See below quote for a short book summary:
«“In my defense, I was sleeping with the student before you asked me to be the school’s interim headmaster. Also, I didn’t know he was in high school since he was a nineteen-year-old sex worker when we met.”»
4 stars if I rate it as what it is. Good smut.
