Solid instalment in the series. I relate to Persephone a lot and thought Richard was an excellent counterpart. For a shorter story it didn’t feel rushSolid instalment in the series. I relate to Persephone a lot and thought Richard was an excellent counterpart. For a shorter story it didn’t feel rushed or incomplete. I’m now intrigued by James and Sarah’s story. ...more
For what I thought this was gonna be, there was more feels and less smut than I was expecting. I would’ve loved a longer story about Beth and Devil. IFor what I thought this was gonna be, there was more feels and less smut than I was expecting. I would’ve loved a longer story about Beth and Devil. It says it can be read as a standalone but I was very lost with the turf wars with King, Devil and another person I think? I am very interested in Loula and Tracker tho so I’ll be on the lookout for their story. ...more
I haven’t read much poly but hot damn this one got me sweating and was very sweet. I can’t speak to the accuracy and depiction of poly and/or open relI haven’t read much poly but hot damn this one got me sweating and was very sweet. I can’t speak to the accuracy and depiction of poly and/or open relationships but it didn’t feel fetishy and exploitative. I’m more of a sapphic reader but this one really worked for me. And it was a Christmas novella so no one can say I wasn’t in the festive spirit. ...more
Dubious consent, deception, insta love, and unnecessary plot points really hurt this novella. Why did she have to be a governess? Why did she have to Dubious consent, deception, insta love, and unnecessary plot points really hurt this novella. Why did she have to be a governess? Why did she have to be so beautiful men would marry her even though they are already married? Why the letter from an ex “employer” saying he’s widowed? How did she know she was pregnant after the first time she’s had sex, a couple weeks after pregnancy and blames her crying at her sisters arrival on hormones? Why did he need to be scarred? It did nothing for his character except people thinking he’s a ghost and not Mary. Ugh. ...more

Hot girl barmaid wants to go to a convention and strongholds her way to getting there with two hot guys and her bff. They don’t have any connection between the hero and heroine because he’s thinking his bro has dibs???? And then the hero’s friend and heroines bff says yeet going to elope so our main characters fuck. And then some sentimental stuff about Christmas? I feel jaded. ...more
This won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but SOMEHOW this author basically created a heroine I related to wayyyy too much and cried about it. This is a monThis won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but SOMEHOW this author basically created a heroine I related to wayyyy too much and cried about it. This is a monster romance smut and I cried because she’s just so unaware and I loved their relationship and how it got resolved. Smut was hot too. ...more
This book had so many twists and turns I was genuinely surprised at some points. Did this again feel like Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic in the best This book had so many twists and turns I was genuinely surprised at some points. Did this again feel like Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic in the best way possible? Yes. Do I think this author has seen Keira Knightley films too many times to use lines from them in the series? Potentially. But also what does that say about me that I recognize lines from these films instead of thinking of them as original dialogue? ...more

Did the side knowledge of our heroine getting shipwrecked in Madagascar baffle me as a character point? A little yeah. Was our hero the sweetest? Also yeah. The epilogue was a cute send off to the phantom and made me want to giggle in delight. ...more

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS MY SHIT. The hero’s remorse early on was needed for this to work. I didn’t enjoy how it I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS MY SHIT. The hero’s remorse early on was needed for this to work. I didn’t enjoy how it felt like he was bathing her in riches. It kinda felt like a Pretty Woman reference which is cool but kinda added to the power imbalance. Wanted more steam but I still liked it. ...more

Some of the humour made me cringe and references to modern things isn’t my favourite but I can put that aside for the steam and the grumpy hero’s. Also Olivia’s love affair with cheese was divine. I started giggling and my partner was curious and I said “she almost forgot about her cheese and that was the real distress” and they go “accurate” so who knew you could endear me to a character with their love of cheese? ...more
