Five Bothers-Penelope Douglas ARC Review

Undecided about rating about 3.5 -4 

After reading Tryst six venom I was intrigued by the Jaeger brothers and I was excited when Pen announced she will be writing a story about them but then I read the premise of the book I was like 😬 oh no this can be very good or very bad. 

But is there one thing I love about Penelope is how she captives you with her writing. The way she has a gift to create worlds and characters that pull you in and make you crave for more. She is like a spider weaving her web to trapped you, she is that good at her craft. 

While I was nervous based on how this turned out because I’ll be honest I didn’t love Credence I liked it and finish it but is not my favorite and to my disappointment it seemed Five Brothers was heading that route but as I say can’t say no to Pen Douglas book and I was surprised that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, as I said before Pen has a way to perfectly create this worlds  that you can’t help but to get immersed in it and that’s what happened. I won’t lie and say this book has similarities with Credence because it does but in a way it also feels different. Each character here has weaknesses and strengths, the story is a multi POV so is amazing to be able to get into the head of the characters and be able to read and  either hate them or be on their side rooting for them but also experience how much they care and love each other  but also how much they struggle. This isn’t just Kirsjen love story; is about a family and their town fighting for each other. 

Overall while i didn’t love it, I like it much more than Credence and it was an enjoyable read and i can’t wait to explore more  of the Bay and their characters specifically Dallas and Callum. I’m itching to read about them specially after that teaser at the end I’m wishing and hoping they are next book because I hate for Pen to keep dragging their story. I you love Credence and darkness of the Devil’s Night series you’ll definitely love this one. O

Kiss A Villain(No Mercy #1) -Mia Darling

 

I remember I was scrolling through instagram I saw a post of the cover and I immediately went to the author page to learn more because that cover is  😘 amazing and the story is just as amazing. 

This the story of Yarik and Kirill who met during childhood after Yarik saves kirill’s life and subsequently becomes a soldier for Yarik’s father a leader of  Russian Bratva. 

This is definitely an amazing debut but Is more on the coming of age/slow burn type of romance. Kiss a Villain focus more In the beginning of Kirill and Yarik how they met, their friendship, their obstacles and the darkness that surrounds them. But I love that throughout everything they had an amazing bond and while I’m sure this wild ride is not yet over and the worse is yet to come their HEA is going to be epic and so worth it. 

Overall this an incredible story and you will definitely fall in love just as much as Yarik is with Kirill. But be warned this does end on a cliffhanger is not too bad  but it does make want Kiss of Death even more. But definitely pick this up you won’t regret it.

The Step Bet - Riley Hart Devon McCormack

The step Bet is the story of Troy and Atlas stepbrothers they love to get under each other’s skin but they also love to bets but one bet might triumph all of them are they willing to risk it all 

 While I love the stepbrothers trope lately either I end up loving it or is a hard miss for me But  Riley and Devon really surprised me and gave me one of the best stories. It was fun, a bit angsty, great banter and spicy. I love both Atlas and Troy they have become one of my favorite couples loved how they both cared for each other despite their differences both had strong personalities and were stubborn  but it was beautiful how much they each cared for the other and try to be there in any way they could. I you love medium angst read with good banter and spicy scenes this one is definitely worth the read. 

Can’t wait for more peach state shenanigans with the stepbrothers i definitely so excited for Colin and Ash I need it!!
