Perfect taboo stories. Three different stories that hit the spot. BiL one, despicable man but hot. MMM priests committing sacrilege? Smashing. Give a helping hand to daughter's boyfriend? Hot mama.

Thanks to Sarah Blue and The Smuthood for the review copy and this is my honest review.

Twins MFM is my kryptonite. This was delicious and compelling, the heroes pretended to be one person to the heroine showing how different their needs and personalities are and ended up aiding her in awakening her sexuality. They didn't mean for the deception to continue for as long as it did but *for reasons* they carried on because she's just too damn enticing, vulnerable and real.

The heroine is a divorcee picking up the pieces of herself and rediscovering putting herself first, somehow ended up topping one twin while being topped by the other twin, I adore the dynamics. I also enjoyed the emotional connections of all three characters and their open communication during intimate moments were gold stars perfection.

This is a couple that will have a whole buffet cart for their bedroom play, and I am thoroughly enamored and hungry.

Hero seduces her with promises of custard recipe and a fabled cookbook, she makes the custard and licks it off his finger and he returns the favour by making a chocolate sauce then licks it off of her. Magnifique!

I find myself very annoyed at the writer and also the detective while they're working out their partnering chemistry, it didn't conclude with the book unfortunately but I enjoyed the mystery.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.
DNF at 37% I just can't do it anymore. The writing didn't gel with me and it's too long winded.

This book is soooooo slow but it's a typical first book of the series feel, lots of set up and doing the ground work. It took me months on and off reading but once I got to 70% I couldn't put it down, everything including relationship and plot progression was finally happening. I'll definitely continue on with the series.

This was so funny, the virgin hero was falling deeper in love the more the huntress heroine kept attacking him. Love (or fates mates) makes a fool of us all.

I still recommend the audiobook, the narration is marvelous and helps with all the various characters, they've all got a distinctive voice. It's got a lot going on like the first book but higher stakes this time.

The king, a virgin hero, he's as ambitious as he is brutal, for his first time sticking it in all the holes in his eagerness. The heroine, also a virgin, is just along for the ride as she gains her power and courage to match his energy.

Thanks to Avon and Netgalley for this review copy. This is my honest review.

I was skeptical of the fake dating and love coach scenario but I am always down for trying to make a crush jealous. The turnaround of the playboy hero was quick and drastic but also felt realistic of someone losing their way and needed a rejection to be pushed toward the right direction. They both started the relationship from the misguided place but through a week grueling family trials, they found each other in the middle. It was a touching story of support and open vulnerability. 

As always Tessa Bailey books are super hot and the spice is on my level of pumping it home. In a drastically not Bailey fashion, there is no butt stuff?!?! Outrageous!

I will say I did not care for the side characters plot set up for the next book. Will I read it? Sure but it felt like it came out of the left field and was jarring in this otherwise complete story.
