Great plot and hilarious, I laughed out loud many times. Misery is such a likable heroine. Her banter and jokes, and the way she hates (and adores) the cat and the kid, is just so damn funny. And Lowe’s devotion to her is swoon-worthy. I love a good mate story. The spice is hotter than it has any right to be. Such a lovely surprise because I honestly didn’t like The Love Hypothesis. I hope the author writes more PNR....more
**spoiler alert** 2.5⭐️ stopped at 40%, skimmed the rest. Listen, I get why this works for some people. It’s just not for me. Too many things irked me.**spoiler alert** 2.5⭐️ stopped at 40%, skimmed the rest. Listen, I get why this works for some people. It’s just not for me. Too many things irked me. I absolutely loved the first 2 books in this series and was super excited for Benito’s story. But I can’t connect to Benito in this one at all. His personality is super vague and his voice/actions don’t make any sense� he swears he’s straight the whole time even though he was in a long-term relationship with a man in the past? What? And then he keeps telling Harlow that he’s pictured him as a woman. What?
� I don’t want to read an MC imagining the other MC is female. That’s gross and offensive and blatantly homophobic.
� Yes, the spice is hot. But constant sex with no romantic feelings or emotional dialogue is boring. The MM genre is starting to slide into erotica. Like a contest to see who can add the most smut to their book. It just cheapens it. I need emotion, angst, pining, longing, PLOT!!
4⭐️ All the groveling. This book is 80% Jem dragging Cador through the mud for his lying and betrayal in book one. Cador proved his devotion time and 4⭐️ All the groveling. This book is 80% Jem dragging Cador through the mud for his lying and betrayal in book one. Cador proved his devotion time and again and won over my heart. His growth in this book was great. Though it wasn’t quite as exciting as the first book, it was a very sweet ending to this intriguing and captivating story....more
5⭐️ Damn, these books just keep getting better and better. I’m so sad the series is over but also so happy I got to see the perfect ending play out.

Rey and Spider were amazing. I know I’ve said this about every single one of Geissinger’s heroines, but Rey is my favorite contemporary FMC ever. She’s a badass, smart-mouthed, sexy femme-fatal but more importantly, she’s a survivor. I loved her character so damn much and her story brought me to tears. She is truly the Queen.
Spider� man, I adored him in this. He’s fierce, protective, vulnerable, sweet, and feral at times. He’s the perfect gangster Romeo.
My favorite thing about these books is the seemingly effortless blend of humor, drama, and romance. When you’re not laughing at the hilarious banter or swooning at the sweetness, you’re sweating with the thrill of the drama. And the spice is off the charts. No other book can compare to the steamy love scenes of this series. ...more
4.5⭐️ I’ve loved everything by Keira Andrews and I’ve never read an MM arranged marriage story before so I thought I’d give this duet a try. Unsurpris4.5⭐️ I’ve loved everything by Keira Andrews and I’ve never read an MM arranged marriage story before so I thought I’d give this duet a try. Unsurprisingly, it was terrific!
Despite the cover, it felt much more like a fantasy romance than a historical/regency. The world is fictional and the society is open and accepting of all genders and sexual identities. Many of the characters are gay, pansexual, and/or non-binary.
Jem is the prince of his kingdom and has grown up in luxury without ever having to work. He’s a gentle soul who loves to read and tend to his pet birds. Out of the blue, Jem’s parents announce that he will be forced to marry Cador, the son of the barbarian chieftain of a far away and brutal land.
Book one is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers where Cador and Jem must learn to live with one another despite their endless cultural differences. The barbarian is horribly cruel to the prince for about 70% of the book, so it reads very much like a bully romance. I loved the tension between them, the hurt, the undeniable sexual chemistry, and the guilt that begins to wash over Cador as he slowly develops feelings for the husband he treats so poorly.
It ends in a cliffhanger of betrayal and I can’t wait to jump into book 2!...more

It felt like a hyperbole of an M/M romance—excessive and unrealistic with lots of filler sex.
The plot/drama was weird and the progression of the love story didn’t make sense to me. It went from antagonistic/enemies to fluffy instantaneously and without reasoning. The dialogue/romance just felt too unrealistic for 2 teenage boys.
This book probably does well for newbies to the M/M genre looking for lots of steamy scenes and who don’t mind an overly dramatic plot. There’s not much new here for a seasoned M/M reader.
Author gets an extra star for the 5 Radiohead mentions because it’s my favorite band. ...more
