Before Jamaica Lane by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars



Nate is nursing a broken heart from someone he lost. Olivia is learning the lessons of love. Between the best friends, lines are bound to blur.

I had a fat cheesy grin for half the book. Not only from reuniting with my Braden, but how the gang intereact as well as the chemistry with Nate and Olivia.

I'd be hungover too if I had to fuck Frankenstein

I wasnt sure about the shy librarian, Olivia, but then I felt the growth and confidence in her character.

On Dublin St and Braden will always be my favourite but this was just so cute. If you are looking for sweet turn angst with plenty of sexy time, best friends to lovers type, I would strongly recommend this.

Love Show by Audrey Bell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hadley, the anti-relationship, and Jack start a friends with benefits. But with Hadley's heart set on being a reporter in a war zone, how will it end?

I didnt like Hadley's attitude to her mother at the beginning and I wasn't invested in the story until Jack entered the picture. But when he did, fat grin all the way.

You realize I am a library virgin, right?

This is the type of book made for me. Hearts and flowers, cute college couple, plenty of banter, great relationship development and some angst. Great book!

Living in Sin by Isabel Lucero
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Jace is the male escort. Adrienne, no wasn't a client. What happens when Jace doesn't tell her about his job? Yea... you get where the story goes.

Call me naive but I didnt realise this was that kind of 18+ book. Needless to say I was in complete shock with chapter 1. Ive read (view spoiler)[threesomes & foursomes (hide spoiler)] before and that wasnt my issue. I felt like there wasnt enough book time for the couple in the first half of the book.

Here's to the people we fuck, here's to the people that fuck us, if the people we fuck are fucking with us, fuck them and here's to us

My lovely smut book buddies will definitely love this, it was steamy hot and there was some face grinning moments. I just didnt feel fully invested in this couple.

Fighting For Irish by Gina L. Maxwell

Something about this story didnt click with me. Kat is on the run from people she owes money from. Aiden, has his own past and is helping his friend keep an eye on her.

Maybe I was just missing the connection with the main characters or it could be this one was heavier than the previous books. It picked up halfway but it sealed a 3 star rating from me when (view spoiler)[he forgot to wear a condom and we all know how that ONE time results in (hide spoiler)] *eye roll*

I think its just me. This was heavier than your usual Brazen titles about two broken characters, was really well written and very steamy sexy. I just wasnt feeling any chemistry x

Angelfall by Susan Ee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wasn't wowed but action packed. Penryn is looking for her sister who was taken by the angels. Raffe is an angel in need of getting his wings fixed. Together they are temporary allies.

I liked Penryn, her determination and her loyalty to people she cares about. Even a few chuckle-worthy moments in her pov:

I've never seen a guy strip before. It's only natural to have the impulse to watch, isn't it?

I knew there wasn't gonna be much romance, but I felt there wasn't enough dialogue from both Raffe and Penryn.

Very little romance but with more books to come I can see this couple getting a bit angsty/forbidden, packed full of action and the turn of events in the last 20% had me gripped. Looking forward to more of the series x

Fighting Love by Abby Niles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Really enjoyed this best friends to lovers book! Tommy lost everything, his title, his home, the one person who never left his side is Julie.

Tommy was sweet yet protective. His denial of his feelings made me want to kick him and hug him at the same time.

Can I come home to you?

I loved how their relationship changed and was very believable. And would you believe I cried some happy tears, granted it was a bit cheesy but what the heck I love these two.

For a short book it felt like a long time for them to get together but I loved the sexual tension, was missing an epilogue and a few flash backs would have been great. But overall a great read x
