This is the story of Avery, who was adopted after years of abuse and her men who are also battered but not broken. This is a New Adult Romance that takes place mostly at a college. But it’s so much more. And it is a menage/rh romance. Normally, menage and rh, they’re not my thing but holy smokes is this book good. And intense. The love story includes Avery and each of her four men (with some MMF scenes that are off the chain). The book is dark, but each of the men provides a light. Each man has his demons, and each helps Avery soothe hers. But at the heart of it, this is the story of Avery and Wyatt, adopted siblings who are equally drawn to and repelled by each other. There’s no getting past the fact that Wyatt is a twisted bully. But he shows signs of being redeemable, which will have to happen in the future books, if it happens at all. There is an insane plot twist that would be a total spoiler, so all I will say is my mind was completely blown. I loved this story and I have got to get my hands on the next one and oh my gosh, you have got to read this book. Triggers galore, so read the content warning at the beginning. ...more

Cat’s Stats H/h- Kane and Heather. At the beginning of the story, he’s a freelance photographer and she’s a barista. Tropes- Voyeurism, “soft” stalking, BBW, Instalove, Innocent Heroine Mewsings- This one requires a little extra suspension of disbelief to find the Hero endearing because he starts the story off by stalking heroine. But this doesn’t turn the story scary or creepy: she has an interesting moment when she thinks about it and realizes her power over him. I did like that she claimed her agency.

Turner is a master of the Instalove novella. Her heroines are almost always virgins, and much of the Young and In Love Collection By Olivia T. Turner
Turner is a master of the Instalove novella. Her heroines are almost always virgins, and much of the time, so are her heroes. The breeding kink is strong with this book. Turner’s stories are fun and super steamy, always safe, and always with a HEA.
I’ll Be Taking This Cat’s Stats MMC/FMC- Jackson and Ella Length- novella; 9 chapters and epilogues (2) Heat- ☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️ with a breeding kink and a slight praise kink Safety? Y Triggers - Explicit Erotic Content, Mean Girls Tropes- J/P Hero, Double V Cards, Hunckson and Chantilleee, Instalove Mewsings What I Liked - OTT’s books are always over the top Instalove romance with super hot zexytime scenes and I love it. And I loved the tree bookstore (squee!). What I Didn’t- we didn’t get to see much of the heroine’s personality.

The story had a nice bit of humor. And the zexytime was insanely hot. What I Didn’t - we learned about her work and interests, but not much about his.
Revved Up Cat’s Stats MMC/FMC- Dillon and Lara Length- novella; 9 chapters and 2 epilogues Heat- ☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️ If I could give it a 6/5 I would Safety? Y Triggers- language, explicit erotic content Tropes- Double V Cards, Instalove, Big Wheels Keep On Turning, Soul Mates Mewsings What I Liked- I absolutely loved this one. It’s so romantic. I especially loved when they talked about looking up at the same stars. And the zexytime on the hood of the car, holy cats! I needed ice water afterwards. Romance and heat, an unbeatable combination. What I Didn’t - there was absolutely nothing that I didn’t love about this story. I’m going to read it over and over.

Mewsings I loved this book! Loved it! I loved the heroine and her quirks (and her extreme intelligence and talent). Loved the hero, who is on my list of Ultimate Book Boyfriends. Loved the sidekicks and good guy side characters, especially Pops, whom I would not want to meet in a dark alley, but whom I would love to have as a dinner guest. This was a page turner that had me fascinated from page one. The plot was engaging (but violent). Added to the “Reasons I’m Probably Going to Hell” list is the fact that I found so much of this book to be hysterically funny (and I think that as more people read this book, I’ll have company there. We’ll form a club!). Even in the most violent parts (and this book was extremely, graphically violent) there was a lot of black humor. The ending was satisfying and opened the door for more books set in this universe. I’m about to go read August, Browne’s second book, and I don’t know how it can possibly compare to this one (but I’m hoping it will come close). I borrowed this book on KU and as soon as Double Points Day rolls around in Kindle Rewards, I’m buying it because I’m going to want to read it again and again. Can we talk about- the cover. Rhodie is described as having dirty blonde hair and that cover ain’t it....more

I loved Meredith’s grumpy mien. Loved the plot. REALLY loved the incredibly hot zexytime scenes. Loved everything about this book except the fact that it ended.

And the zexytime! The erotic scenes were so hot it made me have to turn up the air conditioning. I swear, my ovaries were singing in two part harmony. There were plenty of tender moments to help leaven the hot spots, too. The plot arc advanced, giving us more clues. And action was not neglected; there was a delightfully violent Hail Mary Pass scene. I enjoyed every minute of reading this book and I could see myself enjoying a reread in the future.
