The A-List by Evie Mitchell FIND IT ON THE READ ME ROMANCE PODCAST Gabby “I think my husband wants to explore kink.” Rune owns a bookstore, which means he supplies me with all my reading needs. Only, lately, those books aren’t your momma’s reading list. They aren’t even your best friend’s reading list. They’re the kind of reads that you finish in bed with one hand under the covers, then talk about with other reading obsessed people in closed book groups on the internet. But here’s the catch, I’m kind of into it. Satan better help me, ’cause God’s ready to forsake this little deviant.   My Review: Mood?  lighthearted Pace?     fast  Strong character development?  Yes Loveable characters?  Yes Diverse cast of characters?  Yes Flaws of characters a main focus?  Yes My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is only in audio through the read me romance podcast this is a very good audio book and a very good book in general I can't wait to read more ...

Knot My Type by Evie Mitchell He doesn’t do relationships. She doesn’t do flings. Everything they thought is about to unravel… Frankie When you say you're a sexologist, people imagine Marilyn Monroe. They don't expect a woman who uses a wheelchair. As the host of the All Access Podcast, I'm breaking barriers, crushing stigmas, and creating sexual connections that are fulfilling for my fans. I'm like cupid, but with pink hair and fewer diapers. Only, I've hit a snag. A lovely listener wants some advice about accessible rope play and I'm drawing a big fat blank. Which leaves me with no option but to get out there and give it a go. Which is how I meet Jay Wood—rigger, carpenter, and all-round hottie. I'd be open to letting him wine and dine me—only Jay isn't my type. He's not a one-girl kind of guy. Monogamy isn't even in his vocab, and I'm not a woman who'll settle for being second choice. But the closer we get, the more Jay h...

The Charade by Judy Corry My math tutor has one rule: he doesn’t date the girls he tutors at our private school. But a fake relationship that’s beneficial to us both? That’s a different story. Our agreement helps Carter get revenge on his ex while it helps me hide the real reason we’re spending so much time together. Win-win. Plus, flirting with the hottest guy at school is kind of fun. As long as the feelings stay as fake as the show we’re putting on, there shouldn’t be a problem. Right? The Charade is a forbidden romance about the new girl and the guy who everyone sees as untouchable.   My Review: Mood?

Hard to Love by W. Winters She was too good for this world. I was too much of a bastard to push her away. I grew up in this life, and now I run these streets. Blood and violence taint everything I touch. Everything but her. She was my constant through it all. Just a touch would singe and soothe. Just a look would tempt and torment. She became my escape and my addiction. I only survived because she was by my side. I should’ve known better than to indulge. I should’ve known better than to let her fall for me. It was only a matter of time before the danger bled into what we had. I was Laura’s downfall. Problem was, she was mine too.   My Review: Mood? tense Dark emotional Pace?   medium Plot- or character-driven?   A mix Strong character development?    Yes   Loveable characters?   Yes Diverse cast of characters?   N/a Flaws of characters a main focus?   Yes My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is my 3rd series that I have read fro...
