Review: Sweet Obsession

Sweet Obsession by Katee Robert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If Katee Roberts writes it, I AM GOING TO EAT IT UP. This book was everything I thought it would be. I was so hooked from the beginning. The narrators for this book were phenomenal and kept me engaged. I loved the build up between Poseidon and Icarus. All in all, READ THIS BOOK.

This whole series has been so great to read. I am so sad we only have a couple more books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ma'am, what was that ending?!

Grim has my heart, but sadly, so does Oro.

This book was much better than book one. I kept getting so annoyed with book one. Not to compare to to other books, but I get real Tamlin v. Rhys vibes.

Review: Enchantra

Enchantra by Kaylie Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Phantasma was one of my top reads of 2024. I didn't think it could get any better, BUT OMG IT DID. Enchantra was PHENOMENAL. Obsessed is an understatement. Dare I say that I liked this book even more...? Top read of 2025 for sure.

I loved Rowin. The banter shared between him and Genevieve was great. Really, Rowin was great. Add him to the list, because he's book boyfriend material.

The ending of this book was not what I expected, but it was PERFECTION. Better than I had expected really. And the epilogue?! I am so ready to see what will come next.

Laura Horowitz did an amazing job voicing the audio, and really brought Genevieve to life. I was hooked right from the beginning. She was easy to listen to, and voiced all the characters so well. I was able to distinguish the different characters with ease.

I cannot recommend this book enough. The cover. The plot. The characters. The details. Rowin. Perfection from cover to cover.

Review: The Girlfriend Zone

The Girlfriend Zone by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lauren Blakely has blown me away with every book in this series. I loved loved LOVED Miles and Leighton. I seriously laugh and cry so much while reading these. They always set such a hight standard of what love should look like. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE how the dog rescue is touched on in each book! It was such a big part of book 1, and for it to keep making its appearance is so cute.

Don't even get me started on Leighton and her camera. Miles was loving it, and I was EATING IT UP. What a fun hobby, and so many good ideas... lol

I think, other than Miles and Leighton, Birdie was hands down the best character. What an absolute gem. Especially at the end when she starts meddling in someone else's love life lol. That made my heart so happy.

Also, thank you Lauren and KP Simmon for the eARC and ALC. I listened while reading and it was absolute perfection to be immersed into the book so fully.

The audio duet was also phenomenal. Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke were great together! Their voices were easy to listen to, and fit the characters perfectly.

Also, the covers for this entire series have been SO cute and fun. I have enjoyed all the different editions and cover aspects. Reading the books and coming to the parts where the cover fits so perfectly just makes me so happy.

Review: Beneath the Hood

Beneath the Hood by Emily McIntire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dear Emily McIntire,
I am still crying from this. As someone who relates to Blakely all too well, thank you for allowing us to be seen.

This was SO GOOD. I loved Jackson and Blakely, and the relationship they had together. The audio narration was phenomenal. Liam DiCosima and Brooke Bloomingdale really brought these characters to life. They were easy, and fun to listen too. The emotion they portrayed throughout the book was top tier. I truly felt as through I was in apart of the story.

Thank you Emily, Netgalley, and Blackstone Publishing-Audiobooks, for the ALC.

Review: Lightlark

Lightlark by Alex Aster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have a few notes... First, I am not a third person POV girlie, but I powered through. Second, the amount of times the word 'powerless' was used made me want to bang my head into a wall.

Other than that, it was an enjoyable read. The characters were great. I loved the world building and the idea around the island.

Starting book two because I need more Grim and Oro. STAT.

No crumbs and no notes. Just PERFECTION.

There are not enough stars to do this book justice. This was such a fitting ending to the series. I loved every second of this read. Daddy Dacre is back and better than ever.

THE LAST SENTENCE STILL HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD.

Review: Fear the Flames

Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose Darling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a sucker for a man who will burn the world down for his woman, and Cayden is that man. The banter, the dragons, the angst. *chefs kiss*. I loved the story line. It was easy to dive into, and the world building wasn't over powering in anyway. I was blushing and kicking my feet. I need book 2 in my life.

Review: Wicked Pursuit

Wicked Pursuit by Katee Robert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Welp. Anything Katee Roberts write, I will read. This had me hooked from page one. I ate this up and left no crumbs, all in one sitting. Hot stalker that kills anyone who touches you? YESSSS. Short, sweet, and SPICY. BUT WITH PLOT TOO?! Dang. This novella had it all.

Review: Deep End

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ALI HAZELWOOD. This book was the best one yet. The story was a literal masterpiece. I thought the relationship dynamic was going to be weird, but it was SO well written. Every thought I had, Ali answered. This book took on so much heat, and I don't even know why. This was mild compared to others lol. I loved Lukas. I loved Scarlett. I loved Whet... I mean Deep End. Someone bring a bucket and a mop.

This was amazing to listen to! The narrators were perfect. It was so easy to listen to, even at 2x. DON'T COME AT ME. Dark billionaire stalker romance? I ate this up and left no crumbs. Storee and Locke are an unlikely couple, but ohhh mannn I loved them together.

Review: The Charlie Method

The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Welp, I loved this. I knew I would, but wow. This one book not only had a main story line, but 3+ others, AND a whole fanfic written within it?! AND it wasn’t overwhelming or hard to follow? Geez, Elle Kennedy knows how to write a great novel. It is so hard to choose which has been my favorite so far, but this might be it...

THIS WAS SO GOOD. I feel like this is going to be so important in the next book. I am so glad I decided to read it instead of skip over it. This is all read from Aidens POV. My sweet sweet Aiden.
