The premise is hysterical- that a Viking suffering under an ancient curse is reincarnated into a cookie and only true love and a healthy dose of zexytime can break the curse. There’s more plot to it than that, and some surprisingly hawt scenes, including one which makes me think that I will never look at frosting the same way again….

The zexytime scenes are full of heat with (of course) a breeding kink. And there’s actually a plot. Sable loves Dog, but she’s a club ho-ho-ho and he can’t take her as an old lady because double standards. She goes undercover for the club to get the goods in a corrupt politician and a cop, who want to destroy the MC. She can’t tell anyone in the MC besides Dog, Prez, and Prez’s woman, so the rest of the MC thinks she’s a traitor, and drama ensues. Meanwhile, she reveals a secret that changes Dog’s mind (view spoiler)[ (she’s really a virgin) (hide spoiler)] . HEA and Safe. ...more

Cat’s Stats
MMC/FMC- Thor and Selene
POV- 1st person dual
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- ☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️. This book could boil ice water. The hottest book I’ve ever read is Crimson Chaos (another book in this series) but this one makes my top ten and I have read a LOT of smut. If vanilla is the only flavor of ice cream you enjoy, this is probably the wrong series for you, but if you like a little chocolate or some Rocky Road, you’ve found your sundae. There’s BDSM elements with a lot of Primal Play and a ton of creativity. This one’s for those of us who have a bit of a wild side, no matter how hidden.
Series? Y and the next book cannot get here fast enough. Wondering how to chain the author to the keyboard so she can write 24/7 so I can feed my addiction to her books… but that would violate the restraining order.
Safety: No. Don’t go into this series expecting to feel Safe. Go into it expecting to Feel. In this particular book, there’s no cheating, but there’s memory of past S.A.
Triggers- The violence is graphic and plentiful, and there’s a lot of blood. Actually, the same could be said about the erotic content….
Tropes- Forbidden Love/Taboo*, Alpha Male, Badsass Female (some websites have a broad definition as to what constitutes profanity), The Couple That Slays Together, Found Family, Twintuition.
*note that the party of the first part and the party of the second part are not blood related, so don’t worry!
Mewsings
Before reading this book, cancel your plans, stock up on snacks, get a babysitter, and for heaven’s sake, put your phone on silent or it could end up applied to the nearest wall with force if you’re interrupted. ( I have a military grade phone case because explaining this to my phone repair guy is not how I like to spend a Sunday). I stayed up to read it, and though I am tired, I am jazzed.
The overall story arc between the Roses and the mafia continues, and it doesn’t get any prettier. Selene wisely observes that the feud will never end because there are continued violent acts perpetrated by both sides, and more casualties, and more hatred and resentment, and no one is safe. This is one of the most realistic literary assessments of a blood feud outside of The Godfather.
At the heart of this book is the soul-and-bone deep love between the main characters. Their relationship is visceral, with blood and sweat and skin and teeth and a love greater than the sum of its parts. It’s humbling to read. And it goads and satisfies the Bipolar parts of me in the best way. The characters have been telling each other for so long that their love is wrong that it’s almost a physical relief when they finally give in.
If the love is the heart of the book, consent is the blood pumping through it. They both are into some things that are pretty extreme. But the book honors their kinks respectfully and makes it abundantly clear that everything is done with consent above all. I love this about these books. Safe, Sane, and Consensual are the BDSM bywords, and although the kinks vary in type and intensity, Consent is the constant.
I’m starting to come out of my book haze, and the book hangover has commenced. So I’ll end with a thought and a quote from the book. This is the best kind of book to appease my love of smut, and I highly recommend it. And, as Selene says in the book, “the contents of my library are between me and God”. Enjoy.

Y; also part 2 of a MMC/FMC- Hunter and Aurora POV- 1st person dual Genre- Mafia Romance Heat- instead of A, B, C, D, this book has B, D, S, M. Series? Y; also part 2 of a duet Safety? There’s no cheating, but there is discussion of past S.A., so be forewarned. Triggers- Language in two languages. Explicit Erotic Content. Plus there is violence with a side of torture, so basically ordinary days in the mafia. Tropes- At Long Last Love, Secret Marriage, Ring Around the Collar, Badass Heroine, Do-Si-Do with the Mafioso. What I liked- this duet is very much sex-positive. The characters have multiple sides to them. I’m delighted to read a book where a woman is in such a position of power. I want to be Aurora when I grow up. What I didn’t- actually, I’m older than Aurora, so theoretically, I *am* grown up….
N.B.- I just finished the audiobook and I highly recommend it. The narrators were great!...more
I’m not normally a fan of Bully Romance, but I am a fan of Sam Crescent, so I figured I’d give this book a try. When I read a Sam Crescent, I know to I’m not normally a fan of Bully Romance, but I am a fan of Sam Crescent, so I figured I’d give this book a try. When I read a Sam Crescent, I know to expect certain things. The story will be Over the Top. The heroine will be curvy, and usually a virgin. The Hero will be an Alpha Male and will have a bit of a breeding fetish. The zexytime will be off-the-charts hot and the love will be epic. I wasn’t disappointed. I enjoyed the book.
The Hero in this book bullied the heroine in high school. He later regretted it. One of the things I liked was that when he was asked why he bullied her, he didn’t have a pat answer; his reasons were as complex, and even he didn’t know exactly why. This is realistic, and adds to the complexity of his character. I thought that the heroine and even the villain were realistic, layered characters. Well, as realistic as you can have in an OTT romance novel.
