The chemistry is explosive. The romance will make your heart squeeze painfully. The banter will have you giggling and kicking your feet. The one-liners and screwball scenarios are laugh-out-loud hysterical.
If you, like me, have a super dark sense of humour, you’ll love this.
I cannot wait to read the rest of this series when they’re released (in 2024 and 2025 ...more

Finished in just over 24 hours, so that alone should tell you how compelling I found this dark and spicy and spooky tale.
Despite dealing with seriously heavy themes, Sawyer's sense of humour is so elite that it had me wishing she was a real person because I'd 100% be friends with her.
The writing was so smooth and H.D. Carlton really shows off her prowess in terms of craft, and I'm including in that very solid pacing and damn well-written spice.
I picked this up because I craved an outrageously spicy palate cleanser. It didn't even achieve that, sadly.

I picked this up because I craved an outrageously spicy palate cleanser. It didn't even achieve that, sadly.
Aside from Matthieu, the older 'alpha' of the group, these characters were painfully forgettable.
The biggest miss for me was the focal point: an FMC dealing with SA trauma and abuse. While I can't say the handling of that theme was sloppy, it did read to me as three things: 1. Ever-present and yet perplexingly surface-level 2. A shocking amount of telling versus showing, which I'm sure exacerbated point 1 3. Frustratingly obtuse in how long it took the FMC to get from "I'm going to get a therapist" to actually getting a therapist.
Now before you jump down my throat for that last point, what I am NOT saying is that there is anything wrong with a character being apprehensive and hesitant to begin therapy--but that's not what happens here. She just...inexplicably never gets a therapist despite admitting the need for one constantly....more

As a child, you grow up learning about monsters. But what happens when men are the most monstrous of all?
I knew I would love this early on, despite goAs a child, you grow up learning about monsters. But what happens when men are the most monstrous of all?
I knew I would love this early on, despite going into it blind. The setup for the story is as follows: Our FMC is a victim of domestic violence, and in order to escape her husband (who has escalated to the point where she's confident he'll kill her) she makes a deal with a demon. That deal is seven years spent as the bride of a humanoid dragon.
It's a smutty, fluffy, and wonderfully sweet exploration of finding love again and learning to trust your instincts after surviving domestic abuse.
Strange? Absolutely. And wonderful nonetheless ...more

I quite literally could not stop reading it and did so in one sitting (actually rare for me; I'm a relatively slow reader!)
A truly delightful marriage-law fic that had me grinning like an idiot.
And once the spice hits? SOLD.
TW: For those extra sensitive to 'repopulation efforts' and everything that entails, especially in the wake of Roe v Wade overturned, you might want to skip this one for now. No one gets pregnant and the characters are part resigned to their fate, part hopeful that they'll be just fine. It is definitely a HEA but I thought I'd throw this in here juuuuust in case xx

The Hating Game is a straightforward enemies-to-lovers story (not necessarily a bad thing). It went down easy, made me laugh out loud, and featured two well-defined characters.
Did it blow me away? No
Did I enjoy the main character, Lucy, constantly talking about her "small hands" or her "small knees" or the like? Certainly not. I don't care how tiny she is; no one thinks about their minuscule features unless it is in direct contrast to something or someone else.
I have a feeling it will fade into the background come end-of-year reflections.
Firstly, go into this blind unless you have triggers. Always take care of yourself first ❤️
I loved the first main bit. That's not going to make 4.25 ⭐

I loved the first main bit. That's not going to make sense for anyone who hasn't read it, but will if you have.
The dirty talk? A++ I'm 100% going to re-listen just to hear James whisper filthy things in my ears.
The smut scenes are pretty fecking great.
If you're down with a novel that is frontloaded with sex and backloaded with plot, you'll enjoy this.
Peruse other reviews and you'll see most people loved it. I found it cheap, and thus, cheapened the book.
Nevertheless, this is certainly worth your time.
And finally, I would ABSOLUTELY go the audiobook route. All three voice actors are spectacular, and the FMC and MMC have the type of voices that I could happily listen to for hours (and I did)...more
