My Thoughts on "Sweet Collide"- by Ava Harrison

    I won this book in a Goodreads give away and was looking forward to reading it as I was waiting for it. I'm honestly not sure what happened after it arrived but I struggled to open the book. However, I am so glad that I did! Oh man the wild ride this book came with. Judging the book by the cover completely bit me in the butt here but in a good way! I was shocked for this book to have the dark turns that it did. I read this book in like 2 days and I've got two toddlers. Once I started I couldn't stop. It had me hooked! As a warning there is a lot of talk with OCD and how that can effect everyday life and where some people could feel shame on this. Although there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about!

    Our main characters are Aiden Slate (male) whom is a NHL hockey star, and Cassidy Baker (female) whom is currently unemployed and living on her friends couch. Both main characters had a rough start to life. They both grew up in rough conditions until Cassidy or at the time she was known by a nickname from her middle name as "Pip" helped Aiden jump start his hockey career and get out of their rough life. 

    10 years later, he shows up in her town about to play a huge hockey game. She see's him on the TV and her room mate works at the hotel he's staying in. Through some alcohol courage she decides she's going to face him on a promise he broke. Aiden through some help from his manager and some risky choices decides to "higher" some company. Little does he know Cassidy is showing up instead. Cassidy has no idea when she goes to his hotel room. This is when their whole lives end up turned upside down. 

The character development in this book is fantastic. Ava has a way of capturing things where a motion picture of this book plays in your head. I also believe she has an amazing way of capturing how certain mental disorders can effect peoples everyday life and how even if they do effect their lives in a huge way, there is no shame in having them or if that person chooses to get help. I love how she wrapped things up as well. As much as I loved this one I do with there was a little more spice/romance in it. It is labeled a romance and it is but I wish there was a little more to it.

My Thoughts on "Hunt Me Darling" (The Darling Games Series #1) By Maree Rose

Image
   This does have some troupes that you definitely want to be aware of and make sure you're okay with but if you are..... you're in for an AMAZING read. Especially if you like MFM, or why choose romance. There is a bit of cat and mouse in this one. The female main character Alexandra Darling is a FBI forensic profiler hunting two serial killers. She is known for her odd sense when it comes to the darkness that serial killers have. While hunting them, she ends up having to face her own darkness.       The spice and plot twist are both 5/5. if you're into the darker side of romance you'll appreciate the romance part of this book.  The plot twist had me upset with myself. I was sure I figured it out and was getting upset that I did. Next thing I knew, I didn't have a clue, and that made the twist even better than I could have imagined it was going to bed.      The back and forth in this book is amazing. I loved the banter, the slow but not ...

My thoughts on "Madness" by Shantel Tessier #6 in L.O.R.Ds series

Image
  Madness is the latest book in the L.O.R.Ds series and I'm here for it. I already love the series but Madness really brought some understanding to things. Haidyn Jamison Reeves really was and is the only man in the series with a heart. I've not cried during many books but this one got me. Out of all 6 books in the series this one is the most captivating and gut wrenching. The thrill level is 5/5, Spice is 5/5, overall 5/5 highly recommended, however you need to read the series to get the full effect.  I love the way Shantel is able to capture so much spice while still having a storyline that is not only engaging but also captivating. I literally get lost in the L.O.R.Ds world when reading these and Madness was no exception. Hayden is a completely misunderstood man whom has a huge heart of gold in a world where that's not a good thing. Plus he's a spade brother so having a heart is not part of the job description. He's a L.O.R.D he's supposed to take what he wan...

My Thoughts on "The Pucking Wrong Number" - By C.R. Jane

Image
    I had very high expectations with this book after seeing so much about it on TikTok. It did not disappoint me. This book had me on edge with the amount of red flags that Lincoln was flying around him. The spice in this one is a hard 5/5 and I originally had my doubts how this could be a dark romance with it also being a hockey romance but C.R Jane knocked this out of the park!      Lincoln who is a big shot hockey star ends up falling for this "nobody" Monroe. I loved how C.R Jane managed to tastefully provide us a picture of Monroe's struggles with her childhood and the things she went through. I also loved how she gracefully wrote how those things still effected her as an adult and how she worked through them. Lincoln turned his curiosity into a over the top obsession very quickly and I was weirdly here for it.      This book does have some triggers that you may want to look into. There was a few things I was not as comfortable with but it d...
