Wowza!! I’m not 100% sure what I’m feeling after this book left me saying WTF?! On one hand I absolutely loved it and devoured the book quickly. The other hand is a bit frustrated. I wanted more. This one could have easily been two books. If the Author wanted to dole out some more of these three guys I’d be all in.

Penelope is just as strong if not stronger than her guys. I loved this about her most. She’s not a push over. She’s a baddie with a vendetta. Lots of twist and dark themes that are great.

BLURB:

I didn’t believe them when they said they would corrupt me.

I was wrong. So wrong.

The night my sister died, a piece of me died with her, so I made a vow.

I’m going to enroll at Spine Ridge University just like her, find the person responsible … and make them pay.

Until I meet three sick boys of the Skull & Serpent Society: Felix, Dylan, Alistair.

Rude, heartless, vicious guys who are obsessed with making me regret I ever stepped foot on campus.

They make me a deal: My body in exchange for a glimpse at their violence.

Refusing them is impossible, denying them is insane.

They’re rough, greedy, and every second with them is filled with depravity.

Their venom is jabbed straight into my heart and I’m sucked into their world.

All for the sake of revenge.

Until it becomes something more.

Something priceless.

Something all four of us would kill for.

Gahhhh! I’m loving this story something fierce. This one picks up right where we left off in No Such King. June once again creates an addictive story with a group of characters you can’t help but love. Some you even love to hate.

Just when I was thinking okay this is going to be good now and we can move on and be happy…. Nah! Here comes a twist that makes me want to scream. I knew better but my goodness I wasn’t expecting all of that.

The steam definitely picks up in this book. I can typically pick a favorite in the book but with this series so far I can’t. Definitely a must read!!

🖤Royal + mafia romance

👑 BOOK DETAILS 👑

Blurb

A puppet, a prince, and a playboy. One arranged marriage. Three men I must keep at arm’s length.

Atticus Dupont has been watching me from a distance, controlling my life like he controls the seedy criminal underground. He longs to own my mind, body, and soul.

Leo Winthrop is willing to do whatever it takes to protect me from the horrors of this castle, even if it means being cruel and pushing me away.

and Prince Augustus? He’s a reluctant royal that would rather sleep his way through court than be forced into an arranged marriage with me.

I fled the kingdom four years ago, planning to never return.

But the king is dead.

The kingdom is in chaos.

My duty makes it impossible to walk away.

One thing I know for sure: I have to open my cracked heart, because this crown is too heavy for one lover to bear.

This is a reverse harem royal romance.

June does dark just the way I like it!! Steamy, broody men, sassy heroine, and all the suspense! My first book for 2023 was definitely a 5 star hit.

Christine is a force to be reckoned with! She’s strong yet feminine and sweet. I love her! She’s been through some things that really molded her into the woman she is now. Fierce. Determined.

Augustus ladies and gentlemen…. I wanted to throat punch him at first. Now I can’t get enough. He’s a man who knows what his woman wants and needs. A lot selfish in the beginning but boy oh boy did he make up for that.

This book is awesome. I cannot wait for the next two books because that ending had me all shook up! Definitely a must read for 2023!

I knew it! I knew this book was going to wreck me. It did! But it was so worth it. That ending had me all messed up and ready to fight honestly.

Skyler is such a sweetheart. Been through so much and still keeps going and refuses to stop living. Love love love her! Memphis will always have my heart. That man loves deep and once he is in….. he’s in! I knew their connection was deep and honestly it was fun watching skyler chip away at Memphis tough act.

This is a phenomenal read! I need the next book asap! The angst and tension had me all in my feelings and even shed a couple tears. I loved it.

BLURB:

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ashley Jade comes a gritty, off-limits romance about mistakes, choices, and love conquering all.

He was the mysterious dark knight always swooping in to save me when I needed it most.

I was the troubled girl with scars and a bleeding heart.

He was the gifted guitarist destined for big things.

I was the small-town girl battling her demons.

He was my earth….always keeping me grounded.

And I was his sky…always just out of his reach.

Our love was everything I wished for.

Until I destroyed it.

I never thought I’d see Memphis Payne again after I broke his heart, but the stars had other plans.

Because here he is…needing me to clean up his mess this time.

Only problem is…

Doing so will break both our hearts.

They say only the strongest love can survive an apocalypse.

That if two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other.

I hope they’re right.

The Game by Vi Keeland ~ Review Tour w/ 4.5 Star Review!

January 16, 2023January 16, 2023 / The Smut-Brarians / Leave a comment

The Game by Vi Keeland is NOW LIVE!

Title: The Game
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre:Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2023

BLURB

It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong…sometimes they feel so right.

This was such a fun and sweet book to read! Bella, who has a hard time trusting anyone but is a fun loving and all around a great girl gets left a football team. Which she knows nothing about…by a father she also didn’t know anything about! Christian is the hot alpha quarterback who instantly is attracted to Bella. Their first meeting is pretty funny and had me laughing from the start. Naturally Bella wants everyone to take her seriously so she tries very hard to steer clear of the cocky quarterback but damn he is hard to ignore!

I had so much fun reading about these two and watching their friendship turn into something more. Bella has no defense big enough to stop Christian from infiltrating her life. He is so determined to make himself a permanent fixture and eventually wears her down. He became one of my top alphas to date! There is also a slight plot twist that I had a feeling from the beginning was going to happen. I am not sure if it was necessary as it didn’t amount to much. There are some pretty steamy, swoonworthy and humorous scenes. I think this was just a great book and highly recommend following these two on their journey!
