Okay, a little uncoTropes: MFM Romance Workplace Romance Billionaire Revenge Plot Voyeurism 'My wife'
5/5 star 3.5/5
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS BOOK.
Okay, a little unconventional in terms of a typical romance as it starts out with a married couple, but hear me out, a married couple looking to explore.
Elena & Jake have hit a snag in their marriage which leads to them having a fantasy jar. Jake's fantasy is watching his wife. This leads to Elena meeting Christian. One hot bar hookup while Jake leads to Christian being her new boss. The thing is he doesn't actually know she is married. However he doesn't care & isn't opposed to sharing her.
The bonus of this SPICY story is the revenge plot. Holy twist I did not see coming.
Please for the love of everything READ THIS BOOK...more
Tropes: College Hockey Step-Siblings Second Chance Grumpy x Sunshine Found Family 'Its always been you'
I absolutely ate up Bellamy & Cash's story. I had beTropes: College Hockey Step-Siblings Second Chance Grumpy x Sunshine Found Family 'Its always been you'
I absolutely ate up Bellamy & Cash's story. I had been itching to know the true depths of their relationship since Replay. As always the L.A girls do such an amazing job of building up this group of friends and the bonds they have between each other.
Cash is the closed of quiet, hockey playing country boy. When a beautiful girl moves in with her mom they can't deny their chemistry and attraction to each other despite being future siblings. The sexual tension was insane between these two. Then when their parents seal the deal & get married Bellamy calls it off to respect their parents marriage. Years later once they are at university they cross paths once again, and pulled into each others orbit despite Cash being in a relationship with another girl.
This was such a great read & if you love the forbidden aspect of step siblings. For me personally, there is other woman drama and its definitely not my cup of tea, as well, the second chance feel was a little off. IMO it wasn't a valid reason to walk away when years later they say F it anyways. This took it from a 5 star to 4 star
Still highly recommend on my end.

There simply isn't a single book Catherine writes that i don't love. Ellie & Trace were everything. I absolutely loved their story, seeing Ellie rebuild the life she wanted versus what she was told to do was a breath of fresh air. Trace ends up being her new neighbor & the perfect storm clouds to her sunshine & rainbows. Keely was the perfect bow on top. The chemistry that Ellie & Trace have was palpable, and I truly just wanted them together ASAP. The bond that Ellie & Keely formed was beautiful besties which made Trace opening up his life to Ellie all that easier. These two both come from broken pasts and Trace is reliving his childhood nightmare when his father is released from prison. Only now he has two women in his life to protect.
The suspense aspect, well, made a list of suspects, checked it twice & ohhhh how I was so wrong again. Both pasts of these two collided and while one is predictable, the other guilty party wasn't even on my radar. There goes my chances of being a detective.
I did an immersive read with this one, the audiobook was narrated by Jason Clarke & Desiree Ketchum. Thank you team Catherine for the eARC/ALC in exchange for an honest review

Another absolute amazing read by Ellie. ITropes: Small Town Pro Football Comeback Fake Dating Forced Proximity He Falls First Banter
4.5/5 Star 2.5/5 Spice
Another absolute amazing read by Ellie. If you love the fake dating trope this book is absolutely for you. Siena & Brooks were everything and more. This book had be laughing, swooning & sweating from some insanely hot spice.
Siena & Brooks literally are two strangers brought together by fate. Literally bumping into each other on the football field they have insane banter. When they both come to a mutually beneficial agreement to fake date they can't deny their chemistry. Loads of sexual tension, teasing & denying each other lead to the best build up when they finally get together.

If you love a book where not only the MMC Tropes: Mafia Billionaire Morally Grey Characters Forced Marriage Forced Proximity Slow Burn
4/5 star 2/5 Spice
If you love a book where not only the MMC is morally grey, but the FMC is as well, this is absolutely your read. I will preface by saying I do firmly feel you should the novella Untamed first (Aaron, Tristen, & Dom's story) its quick, high spice, but the ending is key in understanding the motives behind our FMC in this story.
We meet Aaron in Shattered Obsession & Shattered Hearts. He's all business, poised, and always in control. So when he witnesses something that leads to our FMC stalking him you start to see him slowly unravel. When the identity of our FMC is revealed & what family she is associated with it leads to the forced marriage from the head of the Mortelle family.
The push, the pull, the banter, then tension & the hate between these characters was absolute perfection. I simply couldn't put this book down and kept wanting more. The ending of this book, holy hell, now I'm craving all the answers for Tristen's story.

Anything J. Saman writes is just so incredible.
Loomis is the bad boy actor who Keegan has always had a crush on. When she goes through a breakup where her ex doesn't get the hint, she runs into Loomis who is hiding his large secret from the world...in the form of a baby who was left at his doorstep.
When Keegan gets injured sidelining her from her residency for 6 weeks she steps in to help out & then finds herself in a mutually beneficial situation of fake dating. They end up taking off to Key West from Boston for some privacy away from the cameras and tabloids and this time away makes them both question the sexual tension they are both experiencing for each other.
As usual the plot & story was phenomenal from J. Saman she has such a unique way of taking these tropes and adding fun twists to them all. However, FOR ME PERSONALLY I felt no actual chemistry between both these characters & I really felt then the spice was a forced thing between these two. I struggled to keep reading their story. ...more
