2022 Books I’ve Read

155/150
Broken Boys Can’t Love by Micalea Smeltzer
(The Boys book 5)
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
abortion
Reluctantly, I wrap my much larger pinky around hers, echoing the sentiment. “Promise.”
Why do I feel like somehow, I just made a deal with the devil?
I’ve been ready for Jude’s book from the moment we were introduced to him. I knew I needed it. And it was definitely worth waiting for! I don’t know why Cree thought it was a good idea to tell Jude his sister was off limits…while also making them share a bathroom. And then always leaving them home alone together. We were greeted by Jude in all his glory, and I was instantly ready to keep the secret from Cree. Jude has spent plenty of time working his way through campus to ignore his broken heart. But he’s unable to stop thinking about the owner of that pink towel hanging off his door. Millie and Jude both know neither of them should make a move, but it is impossible to ignore the sparks between them. I knew Jude’s story wasn’t going to be all sunshines and rainbows, but I also didn’t expect him to break my heart (while also healing it all at the same time). Spending time with Millie made Jude realize he had become someone he didn’t recognize anymore. And he was self aware enough to know he needed to sort himself out before he took Millie down with him. Jude is an open book with Millie. Jude was sweet and considerate. He made Millie feel appreciated and adored. He also made sure she felt safe. I loved being a part of them falling in love. I loved all the twists and turns. And most importantly, I love getting to spend time with the rest of the gang. Ya’ll know I was waiting for my time with Teddy! This overlaps with Good Guys Don’t Lie, so it definitely makes sense why Cree’s book came before Jude’s! The squeals I let out every time we got visits from the rest of the gang. All the warm fuzzies!

2022 Books I’ve Read
Tumblr media
139/150
Two for Tripping by Lasairiona McMaster
(Snow Pirates book 5)
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
teenage sexual assault, abortion, and mental health issues
A hockey romance was dangled in front of me like candy, and then my heart was sucker punched! I was instantly obsessed with Will and Quinn. Just like they were instantly obsessed with each other. Will is Molly’s brother and Finn’s BFF, from Two for Roughing. So we’re going into this already…hesitant. Knowing the way he has acted with them, I was definitely worried with the way he’d act with Quinn. After one teeny set back, I was no longer worried about that. But I was instantly worried about him. I quickly became a protective mama bear. While also collecting a new book boyfriend. My heart knows no peace! With the issues going on with Finn and Molly, Will knows a simple ‘I’m sorry’ isn’t enough. He’s willing to take action to show Quinn he’s not a terrible guy. He goes above and beyond every time. They laid their emotions out there on the table early, so I knew whatever heartbreak was coming at the 75% mark, was going to hurt like a mothertrucker! And honestly, a lot of this book hurt like a mothertrucker! Every time I read a book by this author I feel heard, seen, appreciated, included. I feel 100% comfortable. I think that’s a special, and rare, feeling when you’re reading a book. Especially if you don’t completely relate to the issues at hand. As always, this was deeply moving and meaningful in so many ways. 
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I was starting to feel like I’d dreamt you up like one of my book boyfriends.”
• “You’d be done with me even though our kisses taste like that?”
• “Take me home and do it again.”
• “I swear to God, William, if you slut shame me for what we’re about to do, I will cut off your dick with a rusty blade, drive to the zoo, and feed it to wild animals.”
• “Is the collective term a ‘yum’ of hockey players?.”
• “I could eat treats from your kitchen every day.”
• “I’ve never really been in love before. But I’m pretty sure this is what it feels like.”
• “Deep, complicated, wild and messy feelings. Love kinda feelings.”
• “You’re eyeballing me like a piece of meat.” “Yeah but you’re like… the primest piece of meat.”
• “You sound a little off kilter. Is there something you need?”
• “You are my favorite Starburst.”
• “I need you to understand that I’m ready to fight for you and your causes.”
• “Careful, or our makeup sex will be over before it’s even started.”

2022 Books I’ve Read
Tumblr media
138/150
On One Condition by K. Bromberg
(S.I.N. book 2)
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
mentions of statutory rape, no acts on page!!!
This starts when Asher and Ledger first meet. That title line coming in hot! And then we’re brought to the present, where it’s Ledger’s turn to go work on location. But he doesn’t get to enjoy a tropical paradise like this brother did. No, he’s thrust back into the small town where he left his heart behind. This is the kind of small town where everyone knows everyone, and everything. Secrets aren’t secrets, and gossip is the daily news. Ledger and Asher did not only go separate ways with broken hearts, but because of lies and deceit. But it’s those heartbreaking reasons that brings them to who they are today, as everything unfolds. Ledger seemed so easily ready to let the past be the past, but Asher just won’t let go of it. Like she wanted to punish Ledger for things out of his control. But mostly, punish herself. I wasn’t sure if she was strong and independent, or too angry at the world to think straight. There was so much back and forth there. The whole book built Asher to be a force, getting through on her own mindset and strength. But their happily ever after seems to just wipe that all away. That’s where this lost the fifth star. The ending felt rushed all the sudden, just because he needed a grand gesture to find forgiveness (when he really didn’t have anything to forgive). The epilogue IS the ending they deserve. But the grand gesture to get there seemed to rush things that shouldn’t have been rushed. Aside from the banter that I’ve come to enjoy between the triplets, there’s complete disconnect between this and Last Resort. I had really hoped for more of a connection since they’ve made their bond stronger!
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I’ve waited fifteen years to kiss you again…what’s a few more days?”
• “Because when it comes to you, I can’t seem to stay away.”
• “You’re stunning. Simply f!cking stunning.”
• “Let me admire what I f!cked into oblivion earlier. Let me kiss it and make it all better.”
• “God, I love the f!cking smell of you. The taste of you. The f!cking feel of you.”
• “Teach me how to pleasure you. I want to know. Show me.”
• “This is the part where you start thinking about me all day.”
• “I think you’re a lot of people. I’m pretty sure I like all of them.”
• “I’m glad you chose me.”
• “I touched it because I don’t want to spend another day where either of us doesn’t feel one another’s presence.”

2022 Books I’ve Read
Tumblr media
130/150
Ever Mine by Laura Pavlov
(Honey Mountain book 2)
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I never expected this to be easy. But I thought I’d at least be able to keep my heart in one piece. And at the moment, I highly doubted that was going to happen. Because Hawk Madden still held too many pieces.
In true Honey Mountain fashion, this pulled at all my weak heartstrings. Of all the small towns I’ve read about, this is the only one I’ve felt like I’m truly a part of. I feel welcomed, greeted like an old friend. As I loved in Always Mine, I love that the side characters are just as important and as involved as the main characters. Hawk and Everly have spent nine years apart. Tethered together their whole lives, but when Everly lost her mother, everything between them started to fray. Hawk went on to be the star NHL player everyone knew he would be. Now, they’re both back in their small town. She’s been hired to get his head in check. If only her college degree in sports psychology could have prepared her for what was ahead for them. My heart was in trouble from the first chapter. It was obvious from the second their eyes met again for the first time in nearly a decade, that we were all in trouble. And in trouble we were. I wanted to protect them both, shield them from the pain and the heartbreak. By halfway, I was so emotionally involved with their story, I was trying to pace myself for the pain I knew I would need to endure. Even now, long after I’ve finished the book, my heart still does funny things thinking about their connection and the (long) road we took together to get to the end. But for all the pain, and the struggling…it was beautiful. To feel their love through the words of their story, it was as comforting for me as it was for them. There’s just something about two lovers being reunited…I feel like I need to excuse myself to let them be alone. I can read pure smut with a straight face all day long, but there’s just something about a sweet moment between reunited lovers that makes me giggle and blush harder than anything else can! The set up for the next sister’s story?! I am so excited! Single older dad? Nanny? YES PLEASE!
Ever mine: 16
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I figured you broke me once, the least you could do is put me back together.”
• “If memory serves, you used to hum after I’d make you cry out my name, so it should come easy for you.”
• “Forever will never be long enough with you.”
• “I’ll take wow from you any day of the week.”
• “Damn, I want you something fierce.”
• “Do you think I forgot how it feels to have you? A lifetime wouldn’t be enough time to make me forget.”
• “I’d carry you miles if it meant I got another chance to be with you.”
• “I could stare at you all night long. Right here. Just like this. Looking like every fantasy I’ve ever had.”
• “Nine years. If you think I’m rushing this, then you don’t know me very well.”
• “I’m all yours. I always have been.”
• “It’s always been too much with us. That’s why nothing else has ever compared.”
• “As long as you want me, I’m yours.”
• “I’m ready for all the things, Mr. Madden.”

137/150
X My Heart by L.A. Wayward
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
drug use, N/A I recommend going into this blind, BUT if you have triggers outside of drug use, sexual content, or assault/violence, PLEASE reach out!
This book deserves all of your attention. All your love. All your heart. Go into it blind. Don’t read beyond the blurb. Just jump in, and live through every moment of it. This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. And I am forever grateful that I got to experience it. Hunter and Sky don’t quite start off on the right foot, but it doesn’t take long for them to become comfortable with each other. That feeling you have with someone when you can just enjoy the comfortable silence? That’s them. While Hunter would normally not care, he sees Sky carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and he just wants to help carry it for her. Hell, he wants to carry all the weight so she never has to. He’s willing to wait. Wait for Sky’s full attention, wait for her burdens, wait for her love. I knew almost instantly that my heart was going to need to brace for impact. Every time an emotion passed between them, I felt my heart crack a little more. I love the way the POVs switched within chapters. It definitely made a beautiful difference in telling their story. I still feel the raw emotions from this book, but I already know I want to reread it again. Feeling their love once just wasn’t enough.
Shorty:87
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I’m showing you all my cards, and I don’t even know what game we’re playing.”
• “Damn, I like your smart mouth.”
• “Let go. F!ck me like you want.”
• “Don’t look at me like this. I don’t fucking deserve it.”
• “You’re beautiful. F!ck me. You’re everything.”
• “You are not leaving me, get that? I won’t let you.”
• “You’ll be with me wherever I go.
• “You are my once-in-a-lifetime.”
• “Thank you for loving me. Thank you for making me the man I have become.”
• “You will always have my heart, as I have yours.”

135/150
His Prisoner by Misty Winters
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
kidnapping & sexual assault, a smidge of stockholm
This is a mafia-spin on loving who you love. Even when there’s evil in their heart and they’ve hurt you. So, a fictional version to allow it to be okay to stay. Because that’s what this is, fiction. In no other reality is it okay for Mia to offer Antonio forgiveness, and her heart to offer him love. But no matter, I enjoyed it! Mia’s dad owes a debt, but Antonio doesn’t want money. And that becomes very apparent the moment he sees Mia. He’s intrigued by the fact that she’s not scared of him, just the unknown of the circumstances. He wants to know why she didn’t struggle, why she gives into him so easily. Mia does definitely have a fire in her, and he was not prepared for that. When reality comes knocking, Mia feels ashamed to have let Antonio in. Antonio's emotions are just as confusing to him as Mia’s are to her. And not me feeling bad for the dark haired villain! This is the kind of love you want in a mafia romance! Where they stand side by side, and rule from their thrones together. It’s a little open ended, which is great because this is the start of a series. I’m looking forward to more of this family!
il mio agnellino: 6

My Favorite Quotes:
• “I want everything that is owed to me.”
• “Take all the pleasure you need.”
• “I know what I want. And I’ll have it, in due time.”
• “Do you like skinny boys with desk jobs? Or, do you prefer strong men, with pistols? Men that don’t ask politely, but rather take what they want.”
• “That’s my girl.”
• “I’ve wanted this since the first time I saw you.”
• “I’ll give you exactly what you want.”
• “When it comes to us, I want you and I think you want me too. That’s all we have to care about. The rest is just noise.”

131/150
Intentional Acts of Kindness by Drea Braddock
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
domestic violence, rape, ptsd, grief, cancer
I don’t know what I did to get to be in a world where Ivy Hughes is kissing me, but I hope nothing changes.
Ivy grabbed a hold of my heart the moment she placed the coffee in Miles’ hands. And I was instantly protective of her. And then Miles took a piece of my heart as soon as we got his POV. By chapter 3 I knew I needed more. And more would never be enough. There’s a connection between them from the first touch. Their eyes always finding each other, bodies like magnets. The universe never allowing them to be apart. They were meant to find each other, help each other, hold each other. I’m convinced Miles is Jess Mariano in an alternate universe, and I decided that the moment Ivy described him. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and his selfless heart when it comes to Ivy definitely added to it! Their love story is just as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. Ivy may not have the weight of the world on her shoulders, but she is carrying around something really heavy. And the moment she finds the strength to tell Miles, because of the trust they share, that’s just not something I can put into words. They are both such beautiful souls. Two souls that were always meant to find each other. Every time Miles did something out of the kindness of his heart just because that’s who he is, I could cry. He has no idea what he is doing for Ivy, what that meant to her. To be this person effortlessly, without hesitation. I said “she’s so cute” out loud about Ivy a lot. And I said “aw Miles” an equal amount (maybe more). I definitely felt the urge to yell into a pillow about how sweet and thoughtful Miles was over and over again. The bond between Ivy and Miles’ sister in law was another favorite for me. Honestly, I loved everything about the three of them and Miles’ brother, and Ivy’s mom! Just perfection through and through. And their happily ever after? If that’s not what I get, I don’t want it. It’s definitely a heavy read. But every time a character consoles another character, it felt like they were consoling me, reassuring me that everything would be okay.
My Favorite Quotes:
• “If you can’t give her everything, don’t give her anything.”
• “I’m a mere mortal. I’d defy any man to resist the combination of those jeans and Ivy’s curves.”
• “You taste even better than I remember.”
• “Kissing you is about the only thing that occupies my thoughts lately.”
• “Be less sexy and I won’t be interested in ogling you.”
• “Sorry for the boob grazes. I mean, I’m not actually sorry at all. But I think that’s the sort of thing I’m supposed to apologize for.”
• “I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed waking up more.”
• “You’re too special for where things are headed. Not like this. Not here.”
• “You’re like…a goddess. Like you should be painted by Pierre Rutz.”
• “Do you see my eyes? They’re up here, looking at yours.”
• “I only want to see your body if you’re willingly showing it to me.”
• “That’s what you do to me.”
• “Will you put your hands on me? I want you touching me. Only you.”
• “I want to give you everything you need. Everything.”
• “It’s probably good that you don’t understand the power you have over me.”
• “Yes, I still want you. Now more than ever.”
• “Like we were always supposed to be together.”
• “For the record, guys like this. I like this.”
• “You’re part of me. I wanted you here, like you’re here.”

127/150
The Wrong Brother by Monica Murphy
⭐️⭐️⭐️
”First, I’m going to spread you out and eat that needy pnssy of yours. And every single day after this, when I sit here and take calls or have meetings or even when I’m in here by myself, I’m going to remember this moment. When I had your bare ass right here. With my mouth on your cnnt, my tongue plunging inside of you.”
After another long day at work, Grant walks into his bedroom to find a woman in his bed. Which really isn’t all that much of a surprise for him, since his brother and best friend leaves women in his bed all the time. But what his brother has never done is left his assistant waiting for his brother. But it must be a fever dream, since Alyssa would never climb into Grant’s bed. They hate each other! In the light of the morning sun, they are both smacked with reality. But the reality they thought they had comes into question when Grant isn’t as cold and calculating. He’s apologetic, giving, but still calculating. Except now he’s calculating all the ways he can keep Alyssa all to himself. He knows she deserves better, but he just can’t let him go. And the truth of it is, she doesn’t want him to. The really hot scenes were mostly focused on their own inner thoughts. Focusing on what they should do about the situation. Just enjoy the big O! This is connected to Crew Lancaster in A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime and Charlotte Lancaster in the Arranged Marriage series. 
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I want you.” “What part of me?” “Any part I can get.”
• “You frustrate the sh!t out of me.”
• “I’d have my fingers in your panties by now if you weren’t wearing the damnable things.”
• “I should fire you. For being too goddamn sexy.”
• “I like you too much. That’s my problem.”
• “Can’t f!ck you out of my system. Don’t think I want to.”
• “I think it’s the best f!cking idea I’ve had in years.”
• “And you have an ass I can’t help but grab.”

125/150
Blind Side by Kandi Steiner
(I received an ARC for this book)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I don’t know what I expected when this harebrained idea first came to me in that coffee shop bar across campus, but whatever it was ceased to exist the moment my lips found hers.
This will now be my go-to response when someone asks for sports/football or fake relationship recs. This raised the bar from the beginning. If you read Fair Catch, you know a bit about these characters, both main and side. Which makes reading this that much more exciting. Clay was respectful and always took Giana and her job as the public relations assistant coordinator for their college football team seriously, and he made sure the rest of the team did too. But when Clay and his high school sweetheart break up, he becomes someone she doesn’t recognize. It didn’t matter how sour his mood, he didn’t mind the view that was Giana. It was obvious from the start that there was a two-sided attraction there. When Clay sees the way she looks at a guitar player in one of the college bars, he comes up with a fantastic idea. He helps her find her confidence and gives her more experience, and in doing so, makes his ex jealous enough to take him back. Two birds, one stone. But right then, I already knew it was so much more than that. The way Clay never hesitated to have his hands on her, the way Giana reacted, melted really. And what unfolds between them…such a beautiful bond full of trust and understanding. Because of how sweet so much of their friendship was, I was completely unprepared for how HOT things would get. And get HOT it did! Chapter 14 nearly took me out. And that was just the beginning! I choked on my pizza three times just reading chapter 17! They had such beautiful open communication between them, so when that inevitable heartbreak happened…it destroyed me. I felt ALL the pain between them. But it’s okay, because Clay did the RIGHT thing, and put himself first. And knew exactly how to make everything better. Which he goes above and beyond to accomplish! Yes, I did a little happy dance every time Riley, Zeke, or Holden was mentioned. And I definitely did a happy dance when we got a glimpse into what was to come for Holden!
kitten: 37
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I’m all ears, Kitten.”
• “Do you think I’m going to be tying you up? I mean, that can be arranged.”
• “Good Kitten.”
• “No matter what I do, keep your eyes on him.”
• “This is so fucking hot, Kitten.”
• “Thank you. For trusting me.”
• “I want you to show me how to taste you.”
• “I love seeing you like this, on your knees.”
• “Every time you wear them, I think of how many ways I could peel them off you.”
• “Nothing between us has ever been fake.”
• “You want to be someone’s undoing. And let me tell you, you’re mine.”
• “You guys have a really great story. But ours is better.”
• “You have owned my heart since the first fake kiss.”

126/150
Daddy’s Best Friend by Kelli Callahan
(Once Upon a Daddy book 1)
⭐️⭐️⭐️
“You’re going to stay with me and focus on school.” He narrowed his eyes. “This isn’t up for discussion, so don’t even try. I know you want to make it on your own, and you will, but you’re my responsibility until then.”
After getting a full scholarship that didn’t include room and board, Chrissy gets invited to live with her father’s best friend. Her dad died when she was little, so she lacked that sort of parental guidance. Not to mention she always felt less than and a little ignored. But don’t worry, because her new roommate Greyson will change that. But she’s his dead best friend’s daughter…and he has to respect that boundary. Unfortunately for Greyson, he has to tempt fate and become more controlling. This was a different kind of daddy than I was expecting. This is very much a father figure. And it was kinda icky at times. Mostly because she was so immature and naive. Which bums me out because when we were first introduced to Greyson, I giggled and I thought I was in trouble. But it was mostly disappointment. I was a bit confused by the end. I just can’t understand why the adult had to grovel, when he did nothing wrong but have an appropriate response to a real serious situation. I know the rest of the series exists, so maybe I’ll revisit it again another time.
My Favorite Quotes:
• “Turn around and take your punishment like a good girl.”
• “I could make it hurt if I wanted to.”
• “You’d have to pull my panties down for that, wouldn’t you.”
• ‘She’s not a good girl at all. There’s a she-devil hiding behind those curves.’
• “You know what you’re going to get-and you know the position.”
• “I would have been glad to apologize with something besides words.”
• “Oh, you little tease. You’re mine now.”
• “I want to look into your eyes and tell you that you’re beautiful-that you’re a woman-the only one for me.”

123/150
Daddy’s Temptation by Tory Reynolds
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
sexual situations involving a Dom/sub relationship
She calls to me like a siren. Her pull is undeniable and irresistible. Not that I want to resist. I’ll go willingly into the depths for her.
This is connected to Daddy’s Obsession by the same author, but it’s not necessary to read. I was looking forward to having more Andre after enjoying his character in that book. Candace and Andre have been friends for years, without ever crossing any lines. But now…it’s suddenly time for those lines to be blurred. I’m not quite sure how I feel about Candace. She’s the child of a messy divorce, so her view of love has definitely been altered. (I know it’s a very real issue, but surely authors can find other reasons for women to be afraid of commitment.) And she’s also strayed from sex for a few years. But suddenly, the lines are crossed with Andre and everything changes. Also, he’s not usually in the same role sexually as the men Candace wants, but he’ll do anything for her. (Wasn’t a fan of that situation) Especially since she knows he’s putting on a front to appease her, so he can have her anyway he can. And then…we’re slapped with the miscommunication trope (heavy eye roll). When Candace FINALLY talks to Andre about it…she STILL runs?! “He hurt me!” No honey…you hurt you. But don’t worry…she finds a way to apologize for being stupid. And then they get their happily ever after.

Daddy’s Obsession by Rory Reynolds
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
sexual situations involving a Dom/sub relationship, as well as Daddy/babygirl
I was instantly obsessed with Sugar and Andre’s friendship. How protective he was, how fiercely he adored her. Sugar had a terrible relationship with the last Dom she was with, so she’s been taking it easy. Just enjoying her time and feeling safe in Andre’s exclusive sex club. Oliver visits the sex club for the first time since taking over his dad’s publishing house. While all the other “regulars” know that she’s not playing, when Oliver lays eyes on Sugar, there is nothing that could have stopped him from approaching her. And then he was willing to sit on the floor to talk to her, and I instantly swooned. And if you’re a fan of Chris Evans as Captain America, you will LOVE that he says “language”. So obviously, I pictured Oliver as Chris. Oliver becomes instantly possessive and insatiable. And he can’t get enough of Sugar, it won’t ever be enough. I’m glad we were able to appropriately explore the heavy topics in this book, while also being able to enjoy the story between Sugar and Oliver. And things definitely took a turn when they crossed paths outside of the club! There was a little bit of drama that I was not a fan of, but I could understand why it unraveled that way considering the pain Sugar’s last relationship left her with.

babygirl: 51

My Favorite Quotes:

• “Are you going to answer my question or let that mouth of yours earn you a spanking?”
• “I know you can carry it, but when you’re with me, you shouldn’t have to.”
• “I would rather cut off my own hand than ever raise it in anger against you.”
• “If you want nothing but vanilla sex-that’s what we will do. And it’ll be f!cking spectacular.”
• “Now you’re mine, and that means no one else gets to look at you.”
• “I’m knocked breathless every time I lay eyes on you.”
• “I would love nothing more than to be your daddy.”
• “You look good enough to eat.”

Daddy’s Treat by Rory Reynolds
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
sexual situations involving a Dom/sub relationship
"Penny is nice and funny when she’s not screaming. Well, that was funny too, but I would never tell her that. She’s also real pretty. Like a doll. I like her. You should marry her, then you won’t be lonely anymore.”
Penny goes out with her sorority sisters to celebrate Halloween. So naturally, gross sorority girl behavior ensues, and she ends up running into Kade’s arms and proceeds to climb him like a spider monkey. Which means Kade is instantly protective of her. We discover Kade is the coach at Penny’s college. When his brother died, he stepped up as a father figure for his nephew. And there’s some drama with his sister in law. There’s especially drama with the fact that she’s a student, as expected. There’s so much packed into this, it honestly could have been a full 300 page book. There’s also a lot of inner dialogue, like a skim worthy amount. I did genuinely enjoy Penny’s quirks and the way Kade and his nephew Walt were with her. They were almost like an instant family. It was super sweet! And aside from the whole daddy dynamic and the presence of a hairbrush, it’s pretty vanilla.
shortcake: 63
good girl: 5
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I need your words, shortcake.”
• “I always want you to be honest with me. That includes being yourself because you’re perfect just as you are.”
• “You will always be my shortcake for however long you want to be.”
• “I prefer it when you say whatever is on your mind.”
• “I get to touch you anywhere you touch me.”
• “Tell me what they do. I want to hear you say it.”
• “I don’t want just any submissive. I want you.”
• “Now relax because I’m about to make love to my girlfriend.”
• “Anything you do feels good.”
• “Not God. Daddy.”
• “I didn’t want to miss you telling me you love me again.”

Call Me Daddy by Emma Roberts
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After losing his wife, Jace becomes a reclusive billionaire. But all it takes is one look at Whitney from across a party to know he’s going to change his ways. And I don’t mean that he saw her from across the way and saw his dream girl, and his happily ever after flashed before his eyes. No no. What Jace saw was a little girl that needed a Daddy. He wanted to be the one to reform her, have control over making her the woman she was meant to be. And he does just that. While also breaking all his own walls down, though Whitney does help. He didn’t want her body, just her obedience. However, that changes very quickly. Like, first meeting quickly. Jace places very specific rules in place. It’s all about safety and encouragement. He wants everyone to see that she’s worthy, the same way he sees her. His past and present collide, and Whitney and Jace are left in the rubble. But their bond is strong enough to get through it. This was way deeper than I thought it was going to be. It is definitely not just a quick smutty Dom novella folks! And I wasn’t prepared for the ending to feel like a comforting hug.
baby girl: 36
good girl: 4
My Favorite Quotes:
• “Get familiar with my name. You’ll be screaming it later.”
• “Tonight, we’ll just be having sex with light bondage. No frills, no rules. I just want to be inside you.”
• “You’ll want to watch your tongue.”
• “I think they’d look fetching wrapped around my head, don’t you agree?”
• “Spread your legs for me. Daddy’s going to rock your socks off.”
• “You’re worthy if I say you’re worthy.”
• “I care, baby girl. And I’m going to make sure everyone else sees what I do. Someone worthy.”
• “I’m your mess.”
• “This is what I have to give you. One beating and barely healed heart.”
• “I want you to show everyone who you belong to.”

Dominated by Marni Mann
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There was no fight left in me. His dominance was something I couldn’t win against. Something I didn’t want to win. Submission wasn’t just what came natural to me, what turned me on; it was what had bonded us. And right now, that bond felt as thick as blood.
There was no hesitating in this one. This dove right in. After disappearing in the middle of the night, Bale shows up at Pepper’s exclusive sex club. And because she had his membership flagged when he decided to just leave her, she knew the moment he walked in the door. But he knew she was watching. Even made eye contact with her through the security camera. Instead of fighting her own urges, she went right to him, just like he knew she would. That’s when we find out the reason he left without warning. And we also find out just how much she means to him, simultaneously while he reminds her. Their time was limited, but he had every intention to make the most of it. And he does. Until she pulls the plug, and ends them for a second time. She really tries to replace him, but they both know that’s not possible. Her phone rings…giving her another chance at the love she wants. I am a little concerned why there was no use of lube…in an exclusive club?!
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I know what you want. I know what you need. Don’t deny me from giving it to you.”
• “I want you to remember what I’m capable of.”
• “You’ve never disobeyed me in this room. Don’t start now.”
• “The only movement I want to see from you is the rise and fall of your chest.”
• “I can’t get enough of you.”
• ‘It didn’t matter the color, nor that I’d been looking at it all night. It was still so beautiful.’
• “Damn it, you’re a good girl.”
• “They’re mine. I caused them. Give them to me.”
• “I own you, the same way you own me.”
• “Me. That’s what you need-me.”

The Guardian and the Escort by Fiona Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trigger Warnings include:
a little blip of cnc
I’d only been face to face with her for all of ten minutes, yet she hit me like a tsunami. Her and everything she represented.
This made me both giggle and sweat. In all the best ways, at all the right times. When Corbin’s best friend died, he was left as guardian to his daughter. His now ex-wife shipped her off to boarding school, but now Rose is back and all grown up. It’s time for her to take over her dad’s business. Rose walks in like she owns the place, because she does! She doesn’t think she has the power or the confidence, but she’s dripping in it! And Corbin helps her see that. There’s nonstop back and forth teasing. The push and pull and magnetic energy is hard to ignore. They have a world of differences between them, and she is his best friend’s daughter. But once Corbin figures out none of that matters, they are a force to be reckoned with! This was such a tease in all the right ways! 
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I assure you there is nothing soft and slow about the way I f!ck.”
• “I’m going to take what you’re offering.”
• ‘I lost my breath between her lips, and I never wanted it back.’
• “You’re a dream I didn’t even dare imagine having.”
• “If you want to see them, then get on your knees and crawl to me.”
• “I don’t crawl for anyone. But I’ll gladly kneel for you.”
• “I want you because you are a fire bringing heat into a life I hadn’t realized was so cold.”
• “I never got to taste you, and I’d like to fix that now.”
