⭐⭐⭐.5

👀Tropes: It's an anthology, there are so many. There are author notes before each book that should help.

☠️CW: ^^

🪢Kinks: ^^

📚Read Method: Kindle eBook ARC

✨My Thoughts: I love anthologies! Especially when they are sapphic. A reader gets to pick and choose and if you don't like one part, just skip it and move onto the next story! Many of these stories were awesome and I found some new authors to read, which is always fun. 

1) Kissing Trails by Clio Evans
 - BDSM to start out the anthology? Yes please. Exes who get another chance, what could happen??

2) Death's Songbird by L. R. Friedman
- This one was so fun and I had NO idea how this one was going to end, but I did enjoy the ending and think it was original. 

3) Just a Kiss by Mikayla Hornedo
-  Very sweet, quick story, but honestly I don't remember much about it.

4) A Hankering for Harnesses by Dalia Davies
- I mean, sexy stick bug? Like..... hello? Who wouldn't read this!! 

5) A Weekend in Sorealis by Whit LaVonne

- I fell in love with Donella. I love them so much. Protective, one bed, demon? Smash.

6) The Hart & The Crane by Allison Carr Waechter
- A thief who falls so hard for a beautiful women? Same. But not a thief. But I would have fallen for Aurelia too. 

7) A Wild, Wild West by Heather Nix
- YES. That's basically it. A vampire romance of grumpy/sunshine and they are in the wild west, living their best lives draining men. Not mad at all. 

8) Mistress by Amity Malcom
- Spice from the first page, just dripping in spice. With a fun twist!

9) Horns of Sugar & Spice by Skyler Drake
- Fated Mates = insta spice, absolutely adored it. 

10) Nested by Rose Santoriello
- I was very intrigued by this story. Fated mates, place crashes, and a harpy? I didn't see that coming, but was here for it. 

11) Nightshade & Jasmine by Evangeline Priest
- Ex's second chance? Maybeeeeee

12) The Guy Sure Looks Like Plant Food To Me by Santana Knox
- I LOVED THIS ONE! Best book of the anthology. I haven't read anything by Santana Knox before, but I'm absolutely going to now. I need my own Chewie, like right now. Runa is strong and protective and caring, and terrifying. Meri is stubborn, hard headed, and passionate. 

💖Quotes: 
From Santana Knox
"Except, I don't give a damn about politics, children, or men. I just want to grow plants. I just want to stick my hands in dirt and get to spend my time with the things I love most."
"Why breathe when there's no air left in the room? Why breathe when dying right here, right now, would ensure I'd die the happiest I could ever possibly be?"

✨My Thoughts: I've been a die-hard Emily fan since the beginning, so I knew she had a sense of humor, but Love is Trash tops the muffins (iykyk). Beans is now the best meme I've ever had the pleasure of sending, and Haley is so perfect in a relatable way.  Jake is great too :P I absolutely adore this story of panty thieving and capture. 

💖Quotes:
"For a perverted little panty thief, you're pretty cute."
 “I feel like a trashy version of a Disney princess with my ability to bond with this raccoon, and honestly, it tracks.” 

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

👀Tropes: Welcome to Bone Town is an adventurous non shifter omegaverse with forced proximity, scent matches, fated mates, and open door spicy scenes. 

☠️CW: Light stalking, animal death (for food), infertility discussion, designation dysphoria

✨My Thoughts: What an amazing adventure to read this book. I was lucky enough to receive this ARC as long as I left an honest review, and I'm being completely honest when I say I devoured this book. What a fun and adventurous book.  This MMMFM book stars Cora going on an archeological dig with a grumpy professor alpha, meeting a burly ex-military alpha, a sweet nerdy beta scientist, and an unhinged alpha treasure hunter.

💖Quotes: 
- "She's stunning. All fired up and flushed. Spittin' mad. Yelling at some alpha I'd be happy to punish for her. Wonder if he'd enjoy that. Would she want to watch?"
- Doctor? Well damn, I should know better than to judge a woman, especially an omega, on her looks. My sister would smack me upside the head if she knew where my thoughts went first, and rightly so.
- "That's it, baby. You gonna come just from grinding your cock against your alpha?"
- "Shhh, hummingbird, I've got you."

 *second read - audiobook - Victoria and Winston are incredible. I love that they brought the characters to life. So many cute moments that I didn't remember and get to relive. 

 ⭐⭐⭐.5

👀Tropes: Pure Monster Smut, FF, MF, MFM, FMF, etc including allll the extra body parts

☠️CW: Each chapter has tropes/warnings before each story starts

📚Read Method: Kindle eBook ARC, given for an honest review

✨My Thoughts: If you want pure, no plot, monster smut in lots of variety, this book is for you. With something like 14 different stories that include shifters, tentacles, vampires, succubi, and even medusa, there is something for everyone. Including a couple of chapters in second person, which is not common.

💖Quotes: "That's it, little queen, keep looking at me. You're doing so well. You were made to be eaten by monsters, weren't you?"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
👀Tropes: Monster Romance, single POV, with a Plus Size Orge and a small human in a world where humans are protected behind a wall in a home away from monsters. There's a bit of misunderstanding, but mostly spice and romance.
☠️CW: Sexual Content and minor talk of an injury, minor almost assault (running into a scary monster, nothing happens)
📚Read Method: Kindle eBook ARC
✨My Thoughts: Lyonne writes a lovely story that is as much emotional heart as there is physical touch. Maddie and Egorr come from completely different worlds, but both have the sexual appetite that out matches even the largest ogre meal. What little uneasiness that comes with the misunderstanding plot trope, the novel finishes with a beautiful happy ending.
💖Quotes: 
- "Stupid? I don't like it when you're mean to yourself, Maddie. You're my friend, and nobody gets to be mean to my friends."
- "If she begs so sweetly... then I suppose I had better give it to her."
- "Come for me, little wife."
