The New Guy by Nicole Dykes
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Finley is new to Kensley thanks to his dad having to move there for work. It's nothing like being back home in California, and he's the odd man out with his lavender hair and colorful tattoos. None of that matters to Fallon though, who becomes instantly enamored with Finley the moment he lays eyes on him.

The two could not be more different, and Finley definitely tried his hardest to resist Fallon's charm, but they just clicked. I honestly wish this would have been longer because I thought these two were just too cute and I wanted more!

Until We Kiss by Loren Leigh

Theo and three of his best friends head to a tropical island to spend their spring break, and things get heated between him and his best friend Carter.

Maybe it was just me but Theo and Carter’s story was a bit too unbelievable for me, and I didn’t really feel the connection between them. The spice was 👌🏻 though

Tucson Too Late by Subdae Leighton
Rating: 🤷🏻‍♀️

After a rough season and a bad breakup, Asher is in Arizona to help look after the bar he co-owns with his brother, Murph, while he’s away for a conference.

There he reconnects with Saint, his brother’s best friend turned roommate, who has grown up to be quite the cutie. He flirts hard with Saint, not realizing the other man has been in love with him for years, and soon learns that Saint has been saving all his firsts for someone special.

Asher decides he should be that someone special and ends up falling for Saint along the way.

I didn’t really click with this one. Asher went from being annoyed that Saint was there, for flirting, to being mad possessive all within the span of 24hrs lol it gave me whiplash. The spice was fantastic though lol and even though I didn’t click the TBC has me intrigued

Demon in the Sheets by Lily Mayne
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Recently cheated on by his ex-girlfriend, Brad’s coworker suggests that he summon a demon to get back at her. Not really believing anything will happen but willing to give it a whirl, Brad actually goes through with the ritual and is shocked as shit when it actually works.

Andris, the gorgeous demon summoned by Brad, has been trapped in an inter-dimensional room thanks to his brothers. His first time out in ages, the pretty demon has a lot of pent up energy (😉) he’s looking to expel, and who better to do that with than Brad.

This was spicy, fun, and absolutely fantastic! Perfect for those who have always wanted to summon and fuck a demon 🤣

Always Been Me by Charlie Novak
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Three years of failed dates has Teddy just wanting to throw his v card at the next random he meets at a club, and with the help of his best friend Kent he’ll hopefully find someone decent—even though Kent is the one he wants.

Seeing someone honing in on Teddy has Kent realizing the extent of his feelings for his bestie, and the two go home and have the time of their lives.

Too short, but definitely sweet!

Lmfaoooooooo

We met Thad in Brad and Andris’s story, and after learning about his altercation with a certain candle and his visit from Rowan… Well, I’m very glad he got his own story because I needed to know what went down & it was as absolutely ridiculous (and smutty) as I expected it to be 🤣🤣🤣
