The Muse’s Undoing- August Jones


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been loving this series, definitely another favorite. 


This is the story of Matthew and Fischer. While the first one had more enemies to lovers vibe this one is more a forbidden type of story as Fischer is Matthew adopted brother. While both grow up together they always had a very complex relationship and never really connected until suddenly Fischer suffers an accident and is in a very vulnerable situation and the only person he feels safe is none other than Matthew but what happens when slowly the lines start to blurb. 

I’m shocked I love it as much as I did, I usually avoid many tropes found on this story but I kept reading and suddenly i was finished. This one explores a bit more kink than the last installment and is also more a bit of a slow burn as both characters tried not to blurb the lines but then they do and is amazing I was honestly rooting for them and was happy when they finally got their HEA. Only complaint is I wish Raven got her karma.

The Heir’s Disgrace- August Jones


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of my favorite tropes is enemies to lovers especially when you can feel the animosity but slowly the desire starts  growing but you don’t wanna give in until you do. I saw this on a my recommendation list and since I was on a August Jones binge I did not think twice and let me tell you as soon as started reading the Heir’s Disgrace I was hooked because it was so good. 


This is the first Installment of a new series by August Jones and is the story of Olivier a spoiler rich kid and Drew a doorman of the Eastmoor where Olivier lives. This honestly a great start of a series and I was surprised I loved it as much as I did because Olivier was hard to like at first and the story has some content I’m usually avoid in books but overall I end up loving because the characters were perfectly imperfect and August Jones does a well job balancing the smut with the hard stuff and makes up being a hard earn HEA. 

Notorious Park Avenue Prince - Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank

 


I gotta admit that I was a bit disappointed with news it was going to be MMM because i don’t know why but I have never been able to fully enjoyed it like it supposed to , I always lean more toward one side of the couple more and this is not just MMM is also MMF/MFM so you can imagine how many books I have to skip because I just can’t get into them in the book world. So I was a bit conflicted here because I love Ella and Brooke and have loved this series and wanted to read East book so bad because the crumbs we got of his and Zac on the previous installment were amazing so i needed to read him so I decided to read it. Spoiler: Not a great idea 

Notorious park Avenue Prince is my least favorite of the series by far, this time it wasn’t just me but also the book and is disappointing because it had so much potential but I feel like the plot wasn’t well structured or interesting and lack balance on the characters and their relationship and it was bit rushed. As I said before I was intrigued by East especially once Zac was introduced I needed their story and was not disappointed by them because both have an amazing chemistry I enjoyed reading about them together and wished the book showed the beginning of their relationship. What did disappointed me was that I felt this book shouldn’t have been MMM, when I read the MMM i usually lean towards one side more which I admit also did because I loved Zac and East more but I also noticed that it wasn’t just me the story also shows an unbalanced relationship where I felt that at one point East was the third wheel.
Overall the only thing I enjoyed was East and Zac I love their scenes and their chemistry was 🔥and wanted more scenes of them together and King well I never really gravitated towards his character and this story didn’t really change that maybe I would have enjoyed his character more if it was just his story and him not being overshadow by others characters. I feel this book would have work better if it was just Zac and East and if they really wanted to make King happened in their relationship make it as a threesome and be done because i personally think King should have open the new spin off series because I was more interested in him and the ex than Zac and East with him. Well I tried to read but unfortunately it was not for me which is a shame because I was very invested In the series but still love Ella and Brooke will continue to support them this book was not for me.

*Cover Reveal*The Sinner’s Sanctuary

 





THE SINNER’S SANCTUARY

August Jones

Release Date: November 13 

Blurb:

This is my confession…

Cristian Sands: Doorman at Gramercy Place on the Upper East Side

My first love died in her sleep, and I ask forgiveness every day from a God I struggle to believe in. I write poems in a basement, keep my failures and secrets to myself, and live a life that feels like a lie. A life I owe to a man I barely know. 

Gibson Hayes is married, wealthy, powerful, and the man who gave me my job when I came to New York. He’s the most generous of billionaires and the most mysterious of men. 

When he wants to promote me from his doorman to his personal assistant, curiosity and loyalty tempt me to say yes. I don’t expect to find a sudden, deep connection with someone enough to be my father. As the mystery of him unravels, and he seeks to ease my pain, I become a willing victim of his own suffering. When being bad feels this good, it’s hard to care about one more black mark on my soul, even if the price we’ll pay for our sins will break us both.

Easton ( The Swift Brothers #2)-Riley Hart ARC review


 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Another heartbreaking but beautiful story, Riley Hart really knows how to pull your heartstrings. 


This the story Easton Swift the younger swift brother and the “troublemaker”  and Archer Thorn  an amazing man who saw past all the anger and hurt, he saw East for what he truly is a man worth loving. 


This is such a perfect and beautiful story, if you read Morgan you know the the Swift family is a mess since their mother and sister passed away nothing has been the same, especially for Easton as that was his twin sister and blamed himself for her death and it doesn’t help that his father is constantly berates him and is hateful towards him. Oh Easton how much he suffer, all the anger, and pain he felt it was hard to read because he was so much more than what people saw in him, but one person who truly saw him was Archer they he slowly tear all those walls down In no moment he gave up on East, the way he loved him and was there for him it was amazing reading their story, see how through it all East brothers stand up for him how slowly each of them are healing. 


Overall this is such an amazing story, it was heartbreaking but sweet my heart felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotions but it was worth it. Can’t wait for Rhett I feel like my heart will break once again.

The Step Don’t- Riley Hart Devon McCormack ARC Review


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


This is the story of Colin and Ash if you read the step bet then you know they are your typical step brothers and they have a list of step don’t and do’s but what happens when Colin discovers Ash step don’t? Spoiler 🔥


I gotta say that even though the step don’t has a one of my least tropes I love it. Colin and Ash story is just amazing, it was spicy, funny, no angst at all. Just a great read with great characters and side characters. Their story is more lighthearted than the step bet as both Ash and Colin have a very strong bond since the very beginning , and have a very codependent relationship to the point Colin basically lives to please Ash therefore I feel like their transition from step brothers to lovers was just the next step they didn’t even know they needed to take. One thing I wish Devon and Riley did was to show more of them being in love/their relationship without Ash activity. But overall it was another great installment in the series. Can’t wait for what’s next I feel like it will be just as fun.

Maybe You- Briar Prescott


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What happens when the only rule is not to fall in love. Will you dare to break it? 


Is officially I’m Briar obsessed and certified fan. 


Let me star by saying this book was incredible from start to finish.   I was a roller coaster of emotions I was Laughing one minute swooning the next and ultimately crying because although Briar is the queen of banter she can also break your heart but she sure knows how to put it back together. 


This the story of Wren and Sutton 

after funny encounter with Sutton both because somewhat friends, and Wren discover there is more to Sutton than meets the eye, he makes him feel safe and comfortable enough to ask him to become friends with benefits his so tired of his insecurities and just  wants to be free of that and who better than Sutton whose only rule is not too fall in love . I just love Wren his i think out of all the characters I felt more connected with him because I too feel insecure that has held me back from just being me and I was so happy when he was brave enough to fight that and let go of what we holding him back. And Sutton I gotta say I was bit disappointed that we didn’t get his POV because he’s so great underneath all that cockiness and attitude there was some darkness that he was fighting but goodness he was just perfect for Wren they way he say not fall in love but couldn’t help it. I just love it and wish I got to get more than one chapter in his POV. 


Overall this book is beautiful, The entire series is just amazing. The characters, their stories are beautifully done. Please read it you won’t regret it.
