ARC Review: thank you so much to Delilah Grant and the Author Agency for sending me a copy to read and review! 
Delilah Grant has outdone herself with this one! 
Ugh! Where to start! It’s obvious that the author has knowledge of poker and horse training. I loved the moments with Shiloh training the horses, especially when Jackson is watching her and observing her. Then the scenes at the poker games. The players tells and how they observe each other. Especially the flashbacks, I love a jealous, possessive, protective MMC. I was so invested in learning how Jackson had orchestrated everything. How long he had been watching Shiloh. I was also invested in learning about how far her father’s debt went. Jackson’s character development was so good!! 
Shiloh, my girl, was a badass! Shiloh’s character development was so good too! How she learned from her father’s mistakes, and how she learned to navigate her relationship with Jackson. I loved her realization that she did want to be possessed and controlled, but on her own terms and Jackson respected that. 
Shiloh and Jackson together were a blazing inferno. That barn Scene! OMG! Oh, and the Gala- someone Throw a bucket of cold water on me! 
This was my first book for Delilah Grant, and I doubt it will be my last. I already can’t wait for the next book in the series

I liked the story a lot. Two broken people, Emmett more broken than Liliah who come together and heal each other with the help of a little girl. I did not see the plot twist coming at all. Loved the ending. Go glad to Emmett get his happy ending. 
I did find the author’s writing style to be a little chop

ARC Review: Thank you to Samantha Skye and The Author Agency for sending me a copy of this book to read and review
I really enjoyed this book. The Banter between Connor and Daisy from the beginning was funny. All that banter was great buildup for the spice. I loved how Connor went from not understanding Daisy’s world to giving it a shot and seeing the benefits of the yoga, crystals, the teas. How he saw her mind for business. I also loved how protective he was of her and would do anything to make her happy. 
I’ve had a sample Tanner’s book sitting in my library for the longest time, just not ready to pull the trigger. As soon as I saw that Connor was available as an ARC I knew this would be the perfect way to dip my toes in to the Whisper’s world. Connor did not disappoint and I can’t wait to read Tanner!

ARC Review
This book fell flat for me. I had such a hard time connecting with the characters, and they really just felt one dimensional. The plot was predictable. Even so, I appreciate Carly Phillips and The Author Agency for sending me a copy for read and review.

This book has been giggling and kicking my feet! I loved the scenes with the 3 MMCs and Colin. Especially that they learned sign language so they could talk to him- absolutely swoon worthy! This was such a good found family read. I also love it when the MMC makes sure his girl is taken care of. The only thing I would have liked more is more chapters from the MMCs POV.

This book was emotional. The beginning had be in tears. Kinsley’s scenes with her therapist are so real. I loved how Shane would stop at nothing to break down her walls because he didn’t see her as broken. He saw her as someone worthy of love. Sour patch kids will always make me smile after reading this book.

Theo and Rhodes are so cute! This whole book was so sweet, and such a good palate cleanser 

What I loved about this book: mental health rep, he cooks for her, “I’m never letting them out of my sight again”, he calls her honey, backwards baseball cap (need I say more).

I loved the banter between all the characters. One thing that was so real was watching Theo be left behind by her friends during her pregnancy. Also so glad that was cleared up. Another real thing was Theo grieving that her dad wouldn’t get to meet her baby. 
This was low angst. There wasn’t a ton of spice, but when it happened it was so good! Who knew that good guy Rhodes had such a dirty mouth.

ARC Review: Thank you so much to Jenn Plummer and The Smuthood for sending me a copy of this novella to read and review! 

“Tell me something that I don’t already know,”
I love it when the characters have something they say to each other multiple times throughout the book. 

Cue “But Daddy I Love Him” by Taylor Swift! 
I’m a sucker for a book where the MMC calls the FMC honey! For being less than 200 pages, this was a good, quick read. Plenty of spice, age gap romance. Single dad/Nanny with some light kink exploration. When the drama did come to a head it wasn’t drawn out. This was my first time reading anything from Jenn Plummer and I was not disappointed.

I know when I read a BJ Alpha book it’s going to be more spice than plot and I mean that in the best possible way. Shaw and Emi were pretty toxic for each other though. Emi wanted out of the Mafia life, but she still kept throwing the whole “in blood we’re bound” thing in his face. 
I would have preferred him to fall hard for her instead of letting himself get in the way of happiness early on. I loved the Banter between the Storm Enterprises men. The plot twist was good though. The ending was really good too.

A spicy, cute, quick MM cowboy romance. August is such a flirt. Gotta love a reformed playboy. This was a great introduction to the Moore Men series.
