I have to say that I really enjoyed 95% of this book. Sadie is a hilarious and likable fmc, her friends are equally hilarious and great side characters, the chemistry between her and Jack is absolute perfection, and the spice is well done. My issue is that last ditch effort at drama (that was super out of character btw) that kept this for being a 5 star read. It just felt like this ‘plot twist’ was thrown for no reason.
Either way, I still really enjoyed the book & am so grateful for Netgalley & Putnam for sending me an arc!...more
Ranger Danger is a fast burn, age gap long novella filled with tons of spice, but don’t let its length fool you—Storm & Rafe’s story does not feel rusRanger Danger is a fast burn, age gap long novella filled with tons of spice, but don’t let its length fool you—Storm & Rafe’s story does not feel rushed at all. LA gives us well written characters whose backstories do not get lost in the intense sexual attraction between them. While Ranger Danger focus heavily that explosive chemistry, it also touches on hard topics like PTSD and addiction. It’s not your typical love story, but is so worth reading.
Thank you to LA Wayward & GMB for giving me the opportunity to read this early, I loved it!

ET was a super quick read, and while there was a lot of action and drama going down, I didn’t connect with it like I did the first two books. Here’s hoping the next book sucks me back in....more

Dahlia meets London on their first day of shLove & Other Disasters meshes together some of my favorite things: queer romance + reality cooking shows.
Dahlia meets London on their first day of shooting Chef’s Special when she literally walks into London and then word vomits an embarrassing story to cover up her nervousness about the show. Their first meeting leaves London unsure of how to handle the massive ball of color and energy that is Dahlia, who confuses London’s silence and standoffishness for them not liking her.
After an awful first day, Dahlia ends up confronting London about their behavior, and once the air is cleared the pair instantly hit it off. They start up an easy friendship, but their obvious chemistry on and off screen is too hard to ignore, and soon turns into more.
YALL!! I’m seriously obsessed with this book, I loved it so much. Dahlia’s character is a bit of a hot mess, but is perfectly balanced by London who is such a sweet, patient soul. They seriously made me swoon. ...more

I was intrigued by Vienna taking over her serial killer father’s mission to rid the world of monstrous and vile people. Serial killers are my jam and so are RH romances, but this just didn’t work for me.
I loved Rick & Fletcher’s characters, but had a really hard time connecting with Vienna—which sucks since the story is about her.

It’s not often that I come across a romance book that touches on mental health—especially in a way that’s relevant to myself. Needless to say I loved that I could identify with Aja, plus being a South Carolinian I had to jump on the chance to read this book.
This is my first novel by Jodie, and I was blown away. I instantly fell in love with Aja and Walker and their story. Besides, who can turn down a book about bingo based sex pacts?!
