The story follows Ava, who after her recent ex-boyfriend sent out a private voice message of her sexual wants to her full contact list, fled to a small town to take some time off and figure out what to do next. However, when the rash decision leaves her with nowhere to stay as the local hotel is booked, Ava, goes to drown her sorrows at the local pub and meets Roman, the bartender and owner of a BnB he is currently fixing up. When the two hit it off, Roman offers to let her stay with him and his best friend Logan at the under-construction BnB.
I'm not a fan of insta-lust/love, however, when the plot is the sex, I can get on board! This was super fast-paced and the insta-lust just worked with the story and romance. Roman and Logan were absolutely smitten from the beginning and determined to cater to all of Ava's needs and wants; I loved how the three of them came together. I especially appreciated the communication and how on board the three of them were at making things work after they got their sh*t together. Overall, Three Hearts Hideway is a sweet, steamy, and simple read that is full of cute and cozy moments.

I'm all for a smutty holiday novella, but, everything about this book was subpar. The writing, plot, romance, characters, and sexRant Review Incoming
I'm all for a smutty holiday novella, but, everything about this book was subpar. The writing, plot, romance, characters, and sex were all completely lacking. If you are going to write a story where the plot is the sex, at least write good sex scenes! Everything about this book just felt forced, the three best friends didn't feel like friends to me and they just straight up jumped into a relationship after barely having seen each other over the years. Also, why do authors like to write DP scenes without lube? PSA to all authors out there, spit, I repeat spit, is NOT lube....more

You heard that right, the whole plot of this book is about how mister pillow got obsessed with Omegaverse and wanted a "beta" to share with his "omega" girlfriend.
I don't know why I keep torturing myself with these books, but, I can't seem to stop reading them! I will admit this one is better than the first, our goldfish man was so sweet. I loved how he was so innocent yet horny LOL.

No, no, and NO. I had high hopes for this book, I absolutely love romances with more than one love interest. But the dialogue and writing in this romance had me wishing I never started it. I don’t even know how to explain it, but the writing was just super awkward and juvenile. The abundance of steamy scenes couldn’t even make up for it…. Everything was just blah, the writing, characters, plot, steam; I could go on and on....more

When Robyn's seemiThe Inheritance is a Knives Out inspired reverse harem following Robyn, a caretaker to Allistair, an eccentric and wealthy old man. When Robyn's seemingly mundane life is flipped upside down after Allistar's sudden death, and she is requested to be at the reading of his will at his sprawling mansion, Robyn is shocked to learn that Allistar left her anything at all, let alone the potential to receive his full inheritance. With millions on the line, Robyn must play a game with Allistair's grandson and gardener to see who survives the longest without ever leaving the estate. The only problem is, she'll be stuck in the mansion with her two wildly attractive competitors and the dashing young lawyer who is serving as the games arbiter.
This was so refreshing and different from other reverse harems I've read. I loved the game and the mysteries that unraveled while the four were inside the cluttered home; I thought it was so cute how the clues were related to Allistair and his relationships with the people he loved. However, despite the unique plotline, the characters and romance fell a little short for me. Everything felt very surface-level and rushed despite how long it took for the characters to get on the same wavelength. I swear one minute they would be making headway in their relationship and the next they would be saying they couldn't trust each other. I just feel like this had so much more potential! The clues and the game made the story fun to follow but the romance and characters left me ultimately unsatisfied....more

Webster book and I will definitely be coming back for more.

I loved how both men were opposites but always came together when it came to Aubrey and her well-being....more
Hoarded by the Dragon is a monster romance with all the feels and plenty of tropes including grumpy x sunshine, accidental pregnancy, forced proximityHoarded by the Dragon is a monster romance with all the feels and plenty of tropes including grumpy x sunshine, accidental pregnancy, forced proximity, and found family. When former thief Katarina gets pulled in for one last job, the last thing she expects to be met with is a dragon in heat. When the dragon, Kalos, catches her stealing from his hoard, Katarina proposes that in return for some relief from his heat, she can take the object she came for and leave come morning. However, when she finds herself pregnant after the night they spent together, she has no choice but to go back to Kalos due to pregnancy complications. When Kalos learns of the baby, he demands that Katarina stay with him under his protection as he has many enemies who would love nothing more than to extort the fact that he now has a weakness. With an unexpected pregnancy looming over them and a need for constant contact, the two find themselves in limbo when Katarina begins falling for Kalos and he is reluctant to open up and give himself to her after a past full of grief and loss.
Wowee. I am a Lillian Lark fan through and through and I enjoyed how this was so different from her other books. I loved how the story progressed and Kalos slowly opened himself up to be loved again, grief was heavy on the mind throughout the book but I never felt like it was too much. There was a balance of sweetness and angst that I greatly appreciated. Katarina was an absolute gem and I loved that she came out of her shell and stood up for herself and what she wanted, she was not about to let Kalos hurt herself or their baby. As with every other Lillian Lark story, this had a generous amount of spice, Kalos has two......if you catch my drift. This is the fourth book in the Love Bathhouse series, but, this is an interconnected standalone that can be read on its own. I absolutely recommend this book and the whole series, each one is so vividly dreamy and charming.

Miss Clio Evans really said Copy and Paste. The first book and this one both follow the exact same format and plot with only different characters and Miss Clio Evans really said Copy and Paste. The first book and this one both follow the exact same format and plot with only different characters and steamy scenes.(view spoiler)[ The FMCs in each book fall into the hands of some monster men who end up being their mates, discover they are demigods, and then towards the end of the book, fight and kill another demigod to take their place in the mafia.

The saving grace of the unoriginal plot is the spice; Miss Clio knows how to write steamy scenes and they are abundant throughout the whole book....more

The premise of being stuck in a curseThis is a super unique reverse harem that I overall enjoyed, however, I feel like it had so much more potential. The premise of being stuck in a cursed house and falling in love with the men who were stuck in there for decades is so different and I have never read anything like it. But, the writing and pacing left me wanting more. This is instalust to the extreme, I mean the FMC met all three of the men and got with two of them on the first day, then the last one within a few weeks. I would have loved some slow burn and tension but we get none of that, everything just felt surface-level. The house and the characters' backgrounds are revealed so fast and just left me wanting more depth to add to the plot. I just think this would have been so much better if it was 100 or so more pages; I'm bummed out just thinking about all the wasted potential!...more
