I'd never belonged anywhere like I belonged in his arms, and I knew it. I felt it with every single scrap of my soul.

This one is so underrated but I finally sold two this week!

I know a lot of people are adverse to picking up Scales Like Stars, whcih is M/M, and M/M isn't everyone's cup of tea. Or they were hoping that Scales would ONLY be M/M, when really it's the entire series that is queer. I'm bisexual and this series explores some pretty tough subjects, all based on my personal experiences.

So with that said, in book two I'm doubling down on this and added another sex scene between Kade and Liam.

Books That I Tried Reading And Couldn’t Finish August/September 2022

Here we go again, time to write about the books that I tried to read but couldn’t finish! 

For those of you who don’t know: I’ll sometimes write reviews for the “Personally Couldn’t Finish” section of my rating, but I honestly prefer talking about things that I actually liked reading. Exceptions of course being for books that made me viscerally angry. Because those are fun to write about. 

Instead, here is a collection of books I tried reading but personally couldn’t for whatever reason. This could be because I got bored (the most likely answer), I really wasn’t into it, or I got really uncomfortable/triggered. Some of these books could actually be really great books (I wouldn’t know, I didn’t finish them), and you might get more enjoyment out of them than I did. So feel free to try them out!

for the biters.

We're solving mysteries in all of these, but if you want cozy I recommend How To Bite Your Neighbor and Win a Wager, and Lore and Lust. The rest are a shade darker, and they're all set in the modern world. And yes, they're all spicy.

Mini Review: A Soul to Keep

Rating: 4/5 Stars

This book is loosely inspired by The Ancient Magus' Bride and Demonslayer, which is why I picked it up! It was a slow burn, which I didn't like, but the story was really good. It had fast-paced moments surrounded by long periods of Studio Ghibli slice-of-life stuff (plus smut). This is definitely one of the better monster smut books out there-- It is evident that a great deal of thought and time went into this book. I think it could have been about 100 pages shorter, but other readers will enjoy the systematic approach to relationship-building. Overall, A Soul to Keep is a very worthy read. And no hate is intended toward The Ancient Magus' Bride because I did like it, but Orpheus is way cooler. =)

How dare he. Assuming I’d only be thinking about him to get off. I can’t stand how right he is.

"Love, if you need to scream, scream. No one's around to hear you," he says, his voice low. "Such a lovely body you have, and so accommodating."

When I asked my mother weeks ago which of my books was her favorite, she had no idea because she hadn't read my newest one yet, Stroopwafels & Starlight.

The other day she told me on a video call that she got the paperback and read it in a single sitting, and this one is definitely her favorite.

I used to be embarrassed my mom reads my work considering just how SPICY they get. But... meh. It's kind of endearing, I guess. My sister, on the other hand, won't touch them. Not that I blame her! 🤣

I struggle finding tropes to list for my own dang books, especially this one! But as I was going through my book for quotes... oh yeah, praise kink fiends, this one is definitely for you. The book in the photo is Stroopwafels & Starlight by D.J. Russo (that's me!)

✩🔥🐉Review:  

Though I favor “Fourth Wing”, this much anticipated sequel is fairly entertaining!

Following the events of its predecessor, “Iron Flame” revolves around Violet Sorrengail as she navigates her second year at Basgiath War College. But this time it’s different. Her determination to survive won’t be enough, not when the age-old secret she has been keeping threatens to destroy the world she thought she knew. 

Like the rest of the bookish community, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. The cliffhanger at the end of “Fourth Wing” had me chomping at the bit as I eagerly awaited the action I so desperately craved. Admittedly, I got bogged down in the first half with the influx of new information in the way of new characters and a deep dive into the history of Basgiath. The second half, however, was like a completely different book and Yarros delivered! I became completely engrossed in the war Violet was thrust into and the role she played in turning the tide. 

I could not say the same about Violet and Xaden’s relationship. I lost interest in the couple I grew to love in book one when their romantic development regressed. Their constant back and forth stemming from the same argument became a bit repetitive and the “other woman” drama left a sour taste in my mouth. I understand that it is hard to hold reader interest once the main couple in a book have solidified their relationship, but I yearned for a moment where things weren’t tumultuous.

While the ending was somewhat predictable, I was still left reeling! Its safe to say that I will definitely be reading the next one when it comes out.

spicy book recs?

alright let's see

Sierra Simone writes theee best erotic romance, some of my faves include:

The New Camelot trilogy. Kinky King Arthur--very literally a modern King Arthur retelling in which King Arthur is [drumroll] Maxen Ashley "Ash" Colchester, president, erstwhile war hero, and absolute panty dropper, Lancelot his VP Embry Lance (never forget his middle name is Lance) Moore, my favorite romance character ever, and his first lady is Greer Galloway, the girl who heard a prophecy that was like "please don't kiss anyone" and went "okay I'll kiss everyone". MMF, kinky, angsty, dramatic.

Thornchapel. Quartet about six friends who accidentally awoke a gothic looming horror thing as kids and then continue to awake it as adults with kinky sex rituals. Kinda like The Secret History x Picnic at Hanging Rock x Brideshead Revisited with a dash of occult. Two core romances, one is MMF (childhood friends to enemies to lovers and the girl they both love) and one is FF. TW for incest(?). Very kinky, much group sex and sharing occurs.

Priest. One of her more.... approachable books, about a Catholic priest who falls for a woman who tells him all the shit she's done in confession. Also kinky.

Salt Kiss. Just out, a spinoff from New Camelot that retells Tristan and Isolde but with Tristan as a bodyguard and Mark as his boss who he falls in love with before he meets Isolde, who he promptly also falls in love with. Salt in the Wound is a novella that should be read first, ab out Mark and Isolde. Kinky, queer, intense.

Grace Callaway writes really fun historical romances that lean towards the more erotic. Usually, there's a girl who boldly ventures into danger, and a hero who's like "my god I find her brash impulsiveness compelling, I must eat her out and tell her she's bad".

I really love her Lady Charlotte's Society of Sirens series, which is like, Charlie's Angels but Victorian.

Olivia and the Masked Duke. Age gap D/s romance, bratty heroine paired with a hero who's like "I'm your dad's friend, I can't do this"... but she's obsessed after seeing him spank another woman, so she's pretty determined to make it happen.

Pippa and the Prince of Secrets. Childhood sweethearts reunite after her shitty husband dies. Hero is scarred and runs a band of child spies (I died). They're both really into exhibition and ye olde sex swing.

Fiona and the Enigmatic Earl. Feisty diamond of the season girl ends up in a marriage of convenience with a stern earl. Both of them are basically spies undercover, but neither of them knows lol. She's very bratty with him.

Glory and the Master of Shadows. Heroine gets mentored in badassery by the hero, who's desperately trying to resist her because he's Tainted and she's Fresh and Innocent. At one point he eats her out against the wall while her parents are sleeping with the door open down the hall.

You want a mafia romance? Try Mila Finelli. Her Kings of Italy series kicks off with Mafia Mistress & Mafia Darling, a duet about a girl who is kidnapped to marry this mafioso's son, but the dad like "nah, I want you, be my mistress". My favorite in the series is Mafia Madman, which is about a fucking lunatic blowing up a bar to kidnap the heroine for Revenge. He chains her to his bed and they have an enemies to lovers situation because she keeps telling him he ain't shit and he's like "sadly I am entranced by her". Mafia Target is an M/M assassin/target book, most excellent.

In terms of "contemporary sex club" books, I'd recommend The Salacious Players Club, which is about a group of friends who start a sex club (with two additional installments about the most noteworthy patrons of the club). Each book deals with a different kink--praise kink with an age gap, femdom, voyeurism, "we think I'm a cuck but actually me and my wife and my best friend are just mutually in love with each other", daddy kink, etc.

Joanna Shupe (who is also Mila Finelli) writes pretty hot historicals. I would recommend especially

My Dirty Duke. Victorian novella, age gap, heroine falls for her dad's best friend and he takes sexy old timey pics of her.

Sold to the Duke. Heroine enters an auction for her virginity to save her sister from destitution, gets bought by her dead brother's best friend who's like "I'm not going to take what I bought" and she's like "oh yes you are dude.

Her Uptown Girls trilogy is about three sisters who bop around Gilded Age NYC, getting into trouble with 1) dad's lawyer 2) casino owner attempting to ruin dad because revenge 3) powerful gangster. Very hot and very fun.

Fifth Avenue Rebels is my favorite series by her. It starts off with a house party in Newport and then continues into all the drama after. Recommending reading in order, they're all good, and they lead up to one of my favorites, The Duke Gets Even, about the uptight duke and wild child heiress who've been circling each other for the previous books. Very hot, and they both enjoy rough sex.

S.M. LaViolette (who is Minerva Spencer) writes hot historicals. I just finished her Seducers trilogy, which follows three sex workers/former sex workers from the same brothel as they meet people and fall in love with much drama and high stakes. Hot and romantic as fuck. TW: all of the books feature trauma in the past, but little to none is on the page

Paranormals? Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark, which is full of vampires, werewolves, witches, and everything else falling in love and having lots of sex across the world. Long running and pretty violent, so check your TWs, especially for the older ones.

Passion by Lisa Valdez is a really wild erotic historical romance with a hero and heroine who start fucking as soon as they meet in the first chapter. Behind a screen the first go. She has a magic vagina that his massive cock can fit into as a miracle basically.

I mean... if you're willing to go, uh, bold as fuck, Tiffany Reisz's Original Sinners is very erotic. Everyone is polyamorous, everyone is bi, it kicks off with a British editor visiting a novelist to work with her, and oops, she's a dominatrix. The central three characters are that dominatrix, Nora, her long time on again/off again lover/dom Soren, who is...a Catholic priest with a sadism fetish... and Kingsley, who owns this kink club Soren and Nora are respectively the #1 and #2 top dogs at. There is a LOT of sadomasochism in this series, a lot of kinky shit, a lot of angst, dubcon and noncon. There's also... some shit I don't think would be written today, like a good amount of underage sex, severely morally questionable relationships, and I don't loooove some of the dynamics written (Kingsley and his long-term partner Juliette make me question much). The writing is beautiful, the characters and dynamics are fascinating, but it's definitely something you should dig into before reading.

But I can't lie, Nora, Soren, and Kingsley have a spellbinding dynamic. It's fucked, but it compels me so. I will add, there were 8 original books (not standalones) and then she revived the series years later. Stop at the first 8 (and their assorted companion novellas and short stories).

Ugh okay what spicy books (paperback preferably) can I read and pretend that it’s anakin or Hayden as the main character 😭 I usually don’t read books but I’ve taken an interest in romance themes but don’t know where to start!! I have a hard time reading if it doesn’t interest my hyper-fixation at that moment, if anyone has any recommendations it’s MUCH appreciated 💖💖‼️
