Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spice:  🔥🔥🔥 Tropes:  Second chance romance, mafia *Check triggers before reading* I absolutely loved this book! I liked the overarching story and enjoyed the different twists and turns. I could not put this book down. I had fun reading about Enrico and Olivia, especially in the beginning. Their flirty banter was so so so good! I felt their connection immediately and loved the push and pull of their relationship. They'

Book Review Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐.5 Spice:  🔥🔥🔥 Tropes:  Age gap, MM, dad's best friend, forbidden, dark romance Triggers:  Download a sample on  Amazon  for detailed content warning *Please check triggers before reading* This was my first read by Z.S. Storm and overall I ended up enjoying the book. When I first started it, I was a bit confused between Ollie and Oliver. It took me a minute to realize they were not the same person (I thought Ollie was Oliver's nickname), but that's more on me for not putting it together. I will say the beginning of the book took some time for me to get into and I debated if I wanted to put it on pause for awhile. However, once the book started to get more into the relationship dynamic, I was hooked on the story. The open ending will leave me wondering forever if my interpretation is right. I enjoyed that this was a MM focused book because I often read MF, MFM, MMF, or MMMF, and have wanted to read more stories solely about gay/bisexual men in rela

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I'm ready for book two to be out. The pacing of the story is done perfectly. I was engaged the entire time and was dying to know what happens next. I loved the Easter eggs we got with Wendy, Tink, and other characters from the original story. This book is dark and not for the faint of heart. Peter and the Lost Boys are not nice and they don't care about feelings. They are ruthless and God do I love them. I know we're not supposed to have favorites because everyone wins in a reverse

Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spice:  🔥🔥🔥🔥 Tropes:  Motorcycle romance, age gap, forbidden (ex-con MC President and the mayor's daughter) Triggers:  Violence, death, cancer, abuse from a parent Series:  The Fallen Men #2 *Please check triggers before reading* Since I'm currently reading a motorcycle club (MC) series, it only felt right to review the book that made me fall in love with the MC trope. When I read this book in 2021, I completely devoured it in 12 hours. I immediately messaged Giana when I was done from my personal IG that she ruined my life in the best way possible with Zeus (IYKYK). Almost nine months later and I still stand by that statement. Before I get into the review, I want to address the age gap right off the bat since there's some debate about it and m

I plan to do a review later this week for Steel. I hopped over to Rubble after Steel and this book honestly blew me away! I absolutely loved it and thought that Mackenzy did a great job of telling Lucy and Rubble's story from the past and present day.  Lucy and Rubble are absol

All of the books in this series are standalones and they are each under 150 pages, so they're quick and fun reads. I mentioned this in my review of book one, Your Dad Will Do , that if you're looking for a plot driven book, this might not be the one for you. The spice is the main focus of these books, but Katee does such a good job of hitting y

Now if you've been around for awhile or been on my bookstagram (@readwithevelane), you know that I've reviewed Katee's books before (Neon Gods and Electric Idol). In those reviews, I've mentioned how much of a fan of hers I am, particularly because of her A Touch of Taboo series. This is the book that introduced me to Katee Robert as an author. Someone talked about this book on Tiktok back in April 2021 and I decided to buy it to see what the hype was about. I w
