When I say I like dark romance, Brutal by AJ Merlin is what I mean. There’s great spice, an intense relationship, and folks with some messed up ideas of what is wrong/right/sexy. I honestly 100% recommend this read to anyone that is okay with the kinks featured. It was really
“The Devil’s Bargain” by Carin Hart stands out as a BookTok recommendation that truly delivers. With well-suited characters, a tried-and-true narrative, and a satisfying twist, this dark romance redeems the author after a lackluster experience with “No One Has To Know.” The chemistry between Linc and Ava, along with their
“The Naughty List” by Jade West pleasantly surprised me. It’s unabashed erotica, not a traditional romance. Holiday-themed, Ella’s journey into s*x work is a spicy escapade, progressing from vanilla to intense kinks. Diverse encounters and a satisfying ending make it an enjoyable erotic read.

Faking Christmas by Kerry Winfrey delivers a delightful dose of fun and sweetness.

Although the pacing fluctuates, a surprise third act ramps up

Ruthless Idols by Michelle Hercules continues the saga from where book one left off, with Bryce rescuing Daisy, and their ensuing relationship kindling.

Wicked Gods is a great start to a new romantasy series.
Honestly, I started The Luminaries by Susan Dennard because I loved the cover, first and foremost. Then, I thought the whole Jay and Winnie thing might be fun based off the synopsis. It was more than fun. I devoured this book and cannot wait to get started on the sequel.
Spoilers for previous books in the series Paint It All Red by S. T. Abby is the perfect conclusion to her Mindf*ck series. This book soars at keeping the ending satisfying and true to the characters and plot. The emotional impact in this conclusion isn’t as jolting as it was
Again, spoilers for books 1 and 2 of the series. I finished Scarlet Angel by S.T. Abby and started reading the next book in the series before writing my review. It was a serious fuck-up because all I can do right now is that about information I just learned in
