Oh my goodness this book. It healed me. The MMC is so sweet and patient and I love that he falls first and falls harder. He is awkward and accidentally requests a “bride� instead of a “bribe� from a passing slave ship and ends up with Vali. She is the definition of a fawn response and he has the sweetest and most charming time trying to determine if she wants him or is simply grateful and afraid. He navigates the power dynamic in a very satisfying and thoughtful way. Though Ranan is very cold and distant at first for sure (before he realizes he wants Valessa). I love that he gets tongue tied when he is experiencing emotions strongly and I love even more that she came up with non verbal ways for him to express his approval (stroking her ear) or disapproval (tapping her arm). There was no penetrative sex until 90% and our sweet cinnamon roll MMC reveals he is a virgin. The sex is tender and sweet more than hot but I loved it. And I loved their happily ever after too. Continuing to be pirates and setting spaces free. How lovely.

Oh my goodness. It was so good. The mutual pinning was so delicious. I love books where she thinks he hates her but his POV is alllllll simp.
The way they slowly made their way to each other was so charming and their chemistry was top tier. And I laughed out loud at Killians antics a couple of times. To see their relation blossom alongside Magnolia and Garrek was genuinely a delight. Killian needed a mom and a friend so badly and magnolia easily and effortlessly fell into that role. And his behavior change was so heartwarming. And how exasperated it made Garrek was hilarious.
And his turmoil over loving her when he knows she is destined for his cousin, a cousin he feels he owes his life to and who he wronged is a lovely plot point. Watching that resolve was beautiful. Oaken is a good man and I cannot wait for his story.

It was very good and I LOVE Layla Fae. The characters are great and well fleshed out. Scarab (the phantom) is essentially Deadpool. To a T. And Barbara is a traumatized perfect rich princess. They had a long road together until they got to be happy but it was worth it and so so so fun to read. There was a breakup at around 80%. We all know I fucking DESPISE a breakup. But he even turned towards hating her and I can’t stand that. He called her a bitch and wished she would die. That was too much. But he apologized and I guess I forgive him. It resolved at least. And he is UNHINGED. Real butcher and blackbird vibes. And I do love that.

I was so excited for this one. The synopsis sounded so good: royal orc MMC chooses a “weak pathetic� human as his bride to spite his family’s matchmaking? Then he falls hard? With a dash of grovel? Delectable.

Lyonne is one of my favorite authors and a big innocent protective male is my kryptonite. But it was more than just a conglomeration of tropes that I enjoy. I truly loved both characters and all their choices felt true and organic to me. Mia is so fierce and resolute in her love for Cragnorr and her resolve to love and protect him never wavers. It is a beautiful and tender relationship and watching Cragnorr have to fight and suffer in order to protect Mia made me cry and finally rejoice. Also, sue me, but I love the pregnancy and graphic birth. An absolutely delightful 5 ⭐️ read.

Honestly loved it. Scarred and innocent male cowboy who loves immediately and completely and needs love desperately. Paired with a sweet and tough FMC on the run from some bad men. It was cozy and charming with a bit of “that’s my wife� and “touched her and die�
He was two hands down bad for her right away and very innocently tried to keep her without knowing what to do or how to do it. He was convicted of a crime as a child and grew up on this penal colony workcamp and had no experience with women. He felt his desires were deviant and didn’t understand his lust. And she thought he didn’t want her. There was a little miscommunication but it wasn’t painful to read.

Lyonne Riley does it again. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I always enjoy her books, and this one is no exception!
My one qualm is that there is little to no grovel for him rejecting her and making her suffer a broken bond (he didn’t want her bonded to him because he is older and will die sooner and take her with him, leaving any children they have alone).
Things I loved: The main characters themselves. Simka is strong and determined and Jar’kel is grumpy and steady The chemistry between them That good spice How real and raw the relationship felt The realistic portrayal of virgin sex That when he pushed her away he realized how much he fucked up. And he begged for her and cried (though she took him back too easily) The HEA for all parties involved
Well worth a read.

Honestly I love it. And I love Voss and Alina. It left like a real portrayal of a truly traumatized woman and how hard it would be to trust and love again.

Loosely a red riding hood retelling but with LV Lane and all her dark omegaverse smut. Very hot.
The brothers were sweet with her (mostly) and I liked “Beauty� too. The novella really could have been longer. We didn’t get much into how Linden (the damaged middle brother) related to our FMC. And Blaze didn’t get the chance to show he was the leader of the pack. But it was still hot. Quick and dirty read.

It was really good. The MMC had serious trauma he had to work through (child abuse and neglect) before he could love the FMC but the character development was great. Plus the dual POV was so delicious. I loved that he was obsessed with her from nearly the start, but couldn’t understand why and didn’t know how to interact with her. Their relationship was slow to build but Zoe was a delight. She was patient and kind and her character was consistent.
The world building was fun (with a little suspended disbelief) and I didn’t feel it had plot holes and found no spelling errors.
Also the spice was very spicy and incredibly hot! ...more

Shockingly good. Guess I’m into snakes now. So glad this book awoke that in me. Excellent. Lots of action, lots of smut. Perfect damsel in distress and no real relationship angst.
I really enjoyed that the MMC (Asan) started the book resentful and distrustful of the FMC and they had to build a relationship. First into trust then respect then love.
I also like that he wasn’t attracted to her at all at first and as he started liking her he began to find her attractive. She also fidgets which annoys him to no end since his predatory instincts track her movements and draws attention to where she taps her thighs or lips. He then finds great satisfaction in subduing her. It gets pretty kinky actually. And I adore that all those things about her that he hates become his favorite things.

Loved it. I wish that Kade and Otis ended up with a more permanent bond besides a handkerchief or being blood mates, but I absolutely loved their relationship. I thought they were so sweet. I love seeing Otis get over his past trauma and heal from it. I loved the relationship he developed with his former mate, Silas. I loved that he had to physically and mentally overcome the barriers in his way to be with his partner. It was very touching There was a bunch more wonderful world building. The depths of this light omega verse is astounding. They touch on so many important issues, and yet it’s so fluffy and heartwarming.
