This was such an unexpected and fun book! Devoured this in one sitting and had a blast doing so. I can't wait to read more from Sabrina Cross now that I've had a taste!

This why-choooooose is a sentient object romance with so many puns I can't remember them all. Must read for fun and a pallet cleanser if needed.

๐Ÿ’œ I'm obsessed with this Hallow's Cove Series. Like seriously obsessed!! Every book as been incredible. Kass writes a beautiful love story in Gaming with the Gargoyle. It's a time jump from Au Naturale in Hallow's Cove by about 1.5 years ISH? We find Gabe and Gwen being the epitome of friends to lovers and pining. GOSH the pining from Gabe! I swallowed this up so fast. 

The epilogue had me BAWLING. Fat, wet tears running down my face. Probably the best epilogue I've ever read.

This was such an amazing anthology!! It's not like others where there are bunch of short stories smashed together. This had short stories from different authors, but with an overarching plot. I loved it!!

Charity is gifted books, and those books are magical and transport Charity into their worlds. I would love to read more anthology like these.

I really enjoyed seeing Layla's story unfold after readying Vow for the Vamp. Her story is sweet, quick, and lustful! I love the openness and acceptance of all things in this book, and just really how spicy it is!!

This was NOT what I expected, but I loved it! The book has adventure, self growth, and action. The story is not one I've read before, but absolutely want to read more. Horror romance is new for me, but I love it. Gwen is portrayed in a way that I really felt connected to her and her thoughts, what made her her. There were quirks written by the author that I enjoyed reading because she made them seem normal and not out of place, which I wish more authors did. Ambrosius is terrifying, but freeing. There's so much more to say, but it would be spoiling the book!! Just know that it takes awhile to warm up to him, but worth it in the end.

The difference between the newsletter exclusive and this one is magnificent. There's so much more to the story and you have cameos from everywhere. I'm stunned by this. The audio was amazing. Robert Hatchet is incredible, as always.

"You have no reason to hide," he ground out. "We all have scars, some more visible than others."

Greedy Little Thing by Sonya Lawson is so fun to read! I adored the fated mates and absolute obsession the MC's have with each other. 

E is sassy and going through HELL with her professors while finishing her M.A. in Library Sciences. Plutus is rich and obsessed (there's so much more, but I'm not spoiling anything!) and spoils her. 

If you like snarls, sass, smirks, and sexy times, you will love this book. (It's open door)

"Pro tip, your godliness: modern women don't like to be told to 'calm down.' Particularly when they have a very f***ing valid reason to not be calm."

Honest Review given for an early copy ๐ŸŒŸ

Thurl is so lovable, but Jade stole my heart. She is caring, kind, anxious, and an amazing cat mom. We also got to see a lot of Kendal and the whole wyrfang family and I'm really hoping to see this same style of writing through the rest of the books. Guarded by a Monster is the #2 book in the series of Monsterous Guardians and important that you read in order, book #1 has a lot of information on HOW the main characters meet and why. I feel like part of the family when reading this series. And Granny! Love love Granny!

There are sad moments....
"I wanted to run to her, wrap her in my arms and tell her nothing would ever happen to her again. Knowing she would run screaming from me turned my feet to concrete. An impossible weight my legs could never overcome. I was built for shadows and she was the sun."

And happy ones...
"Why do you think I look like this?" (talking about Granny's food)
"I would drape her in jewels for that alone."

And spicy ones...
"...ate my p***y like it was his job and he was up for a promotion. Jesus, I was going to make him the CEO. My thigh muscles clenched, and my back arched off the bed as he cosplay'd Blackbeard and plundered my treasure."

And cute ones...
"You're my monster. And right now, I want the beast."
"Hold on, kitten. I will tear the world apart to find you."
