The Rockstar (The Portland Protectors-EHM Security #1) by Emerson Beckett, Rheland Richmond

I liked it.

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

This review going to be a little short because there’s not much to say.

But what I will say I enjoyed this book I’ll give it a 4-star ⭐️ at best. I loved how Michael was there for Adam through everything. Even when he found Adam dad… love that for him because he deserved to be happy. He ended up with three families. His adopted family; his biological family and Michael family. Love it.

I can’t wait to read Patrick and Cole story. But I hope Cole doesn’t take Patrick back as easily . He should make him suffer a bit. And let him choose to tell people to his in an actual relationship instead of hiding the way he is… especially knowing that it’s killing and hurting Cole like that…

But reading that sneak peak was sooooo sad!!! 😔 reading what happened to Patrick.. I think I’m going to read it soon after this one or another book!!!

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

Reading this book makes me want to read book 2 back over again because I’ve read book 2 before one. I wish I read this one first because ugh. I want to see Nate happy again.

Because again… I didn’t like how Kane treated him in this book and in Nate book as well. I felt like he should’ve gotten made at Nate for not speaking to him. When he told him not to talk to him anymore.

Like he ignored Nate the whole time. Then gotten mad at him for liking and having feelings for him. Nobody can control how they feel as person. Especially if you are Afraid to tell them or you might not think they like you back.

SMH… Kane was all for Lake and diss his best friend but wanted his best friend back as well. SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️ I just couldn’t with him because it was double standards or something like that …

But I did love how he treated Lake and how he was there for River in the end and gave her free will to be outside of her parents and let her be more independent.

Love that. But anyways can’t wait for book 3… didn’t know it was going to be a third one because I was looking a lot lol …

Book Description:

Lake
I’ve worked my entire life to succeed in a sport I don’t particularly enjoy. I’ve faced homophobic teammates, hostile locker rooms, and coaches who couldn’t care less about me as a person, but nothing could have prepared me for this. 

It’s my first year – my fresh start – with a Professional League football team and teammates who are blissfully unaware of my sexuality. I have a contract, money to keep my family afloat, and I’m only the backup kicker this season. Perfect, right? 

Wrong. Both the starting kicker and punter go out for injuries, and now I’m all the team has. Talk about a heavy weight on my shoulders. 

And to top it all off, the most popular guy on the team is . . . pursuing me? Everything he says seems to have a double meaning, and it sounds suspiciously as if he’s propositioning me. 

Let off some steam, he says. 

One time couldn’t hurt, could it? Okay, maybe two times. Or three. 

* 

Kane
Football, family, and friends. What more could a man need? 

As one of the best tight ends in the Professional League, I’m living the life I’ve always dreamed of. I’m one to always go with the flow, and people don’t tell me no. Women love me, my fans cheer for me, and my best friend is there whenever I need him. 

This is, until I meet our rookie kicker. He’s strong, independent, and wants nothing to do with me – which is crazy because I’m such a cool guy! Trying to befriend him leads to a misunderstanding of intimate proportions, and suddenly, I’m not so sure my life is all that perfect the way it is. 

He needs help getting his feet under him within the league, and I need help navigating these new feelings I have after our confusing encounter. 

Maybe we can help each other . . . After all, a deal is a deal.

* 

An MM sports romance featuring rowdy football players and men who don’t know they’re looking for love. There will be stripping at Halloween, crying at Thanksgiving, witty defense mechanisms, a series of ridiculous misunderstandings, and spice not for the faint of heart. Guaranteed HEA and spin-off to come.

Protected by the Fox Shifter (Protected #3) by L. Rose

Just finished this book 📖 ☑️

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

I do hope Lila Rose writes books about Soren and not only him but Spades as well because I want to know what happened between those two when he went to Soren club and will he Spades mate.. not only that oooh I cannot wait for Torch book. That one going to be interesting I know it!!

But anyways.. love, love, love Riker and Corbin story. They were so cute together. They were made for one another. I kept thinking something was going to go down worse at the club where Riker had to kill someone lol!! But it never happened. I love that all the club members excepted Corbin relationship with Riker. Besides the two cunts Marker and Bubbs or whatever that hater name was…

But overall everything turn out good for them…

Book Description:

Riker

I’m younger than my brothers, wilder, and I relish the hunt of a kill in my fox and human forms more than either of them. But I’m also the cutest shifter there is. Everyone loves me, so obviously my fated mate will have no choice but to fall for me.

Even if I have to make him.

Corbin

I’m still trying to work out why I felt compelled to rescue the guy—who I can’t seem to take my eyes off—from that damn beast that looked set on killing him. What I don’t expect is to hear the energizer bunny incarnate telling me he’s mine forever.

I can see he walks to his own beat, but I kinda like the idea of keeping him.

Making him mine.

Hell, I’m already looking forward to seeing what my MC brothers will think of the murderous twink when I bring him into the clubhouse.

On Guard (New York Gods #1) by Andi Jaxon, J.R. Gray

I’ve finished this book in a day. Glad it was a good read…

Book Review:

it was but I want the next book to come out already lol

***Spoilers here and there***

Bruh I was wondering how Owen and Colin ended up getting together > well more so getting a book. Because they hardly interacted with each other. It was more so Colin + Issac and Colin + Oliver. Not Colin + Owen. But can’t wait for that book to come out because I am curious about them.

But anyways… on with this book. I felt like Isaac parents aren’t god forgiven people. And also aren’t about God and serve the lord. Because if you did serve the lord you wouldn’t have so much hate in your heart for you child. Nor will you have so much hate for someone who is gay, bisexual etc.

As someone who serves god you suppose to love everyone as they are. Those people .. yes I mean those people are just hateful. I wish I knew how old Issac brother Noah was. Because I would like for his brother to come around and see him because I felt like Issac missed him. Even though he wasn’t mentioned that much in the book.

I also felt like Oliver definitely was feeling Issac more than he said he did. Especially in the beginning but was in denial of it all. Especially about his feelings towards him. I was glad in the end he finally told Issac how he felt and ended up telling his parents that he didn’t want to married someone they picked for him and ended up marrying Issac in the end. Love that for the both of them…

Book Description:

Selling my virginity wasn’t how I saw my first week of college going.

But after my parents cut me off, an offer from a gorgeous rich stranger doesn’t sound so bad.
It’s only twenty-four hours and I’ll never have to see him again.
Wrong.

Much to my horror, the stranger is Oliver Godfrey, the captain of my fencing team.
And as if that isn’t bad enough, his parents own half the city.
There is no escape from him or the way he makes me feel.
He’s everything I don’t want.
And everything I need.

A playboy like him shouldn’t look at me twice, so why is he ruining my life?
But what Oliver wants, Oliver gets, and he wants me.
He’s arrogant, possessive, and infuriatingly obsessed with me.
This can’t work.

His parents want him to marry an heiress so I can’t keep him.
All I can have is stolen moments hidden in the dark.
He’s going to break my heart and I’m going to let him.

The Crease (For Puck’s Sake #4) by Crea Reitan

Liked this book more than the last one I’ve read in this series so far

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

I felt bad for Max because he was going through so much and nobody saw what he was going through. Because he was hiding it so well; then the video of him got leaked all hell broke loose and he almost lost everything.

Not once did his family contacted him. I mean his brothers are sorry excuse of siblings too since they just like the parents. The only one I saw was concerned was Noah and couple of the Gay play guys from the trip to kola or Kala whatever its name.

If it wasn’t for Derkye I don’t think Max would’ve gotten out of all of that what he was going through. Especially without the help and care from Derkye. I liked them together. Derkye was Max person. & I loved that for him. Especially when he learned to finally love himself and become a better person in the end and got therapy and stuff!!!!

Book Description:

Always protect the heart of the ice.

Max

This wasn’t supposed to happen to me. I’m supposed to be at the top of my career. Untouchable. Worshiped. Finally proving to all the jerks in my life that I made it. I’m at the top.

Then a video that shouldn’t exist leaks and everything comes crashing down. I’m about to lose it all and I can’t seem to get out of my own way. My agent banishes me to a place that technology can’t touch while he tries to salvage my career.

I’m caught between rage and deep depression, lashing out at everyone and everything around me. I have myself to blame but right now, all I want is to drown in my misery. Even when something unexpected and good comes along, all I can do is push and push until I’m once more drowning all alone.

Deryke

I don’t know what’s come over me. Why does this disaster of a hockey player suddenly call to my heart and everything inside my body and mind? I mean, the world knows what’s in his pants and I’ve never been even slightly turned on by that! Why now? Why him?

Even when he’s bratting so hard I want to break him, I can see that he acts the way he does because he’s hurting somewhere deep inside. He won’t let me in, but for some unknown reason, I can’t let Maximus Latham go.

He needs me. He needs someone to believe in him and not disappear the minute he messes up. He needs someone to love him for him, not for being the hockey god he is. Except I’m not sure I can reach him in time before he self-destructs.

But damned if I’m not going to try.

Lucky Shot (For Puck’s Sake #3) by Crea Reitan

This one was interesting to read. Though I’m just now posting this. When I’ve been finished it.

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

It’s crazy to me that the author mentioned a real college- Longwood University. Which is actually in Farmville, Virginia. That’s a hour from me. But it’s mentioned that it’s in California < this hilarious to me because it’s actual real school. But the real one is in Virginia and not California.

I think she should’ve look up the school name first before using it.

But anyways it’s not much I would like to say about this book. But I did enjoy it. It was interesting enough. What I was more excited about was both Noah and Lix finally seeing that they’ve already met and known each other. I love how they ended up together. Especially not knowing how each other look until they FaceTime.

Not only that Sid… I knew he had a thing for Lix.. because of how he looked at Noah those couple times.

But one thing I want is a book about Gabe and a book about Roux because I am curious about them. Will they find their person …

Book Description:

The entire game can be determined by a lucky shot.

PrettyInLace

Even a gay athlete has an appearance to uphold. There are a handful out in every sport and while every trashy magazine wants to get the scoop on what the gays are up to, looking for a scandal and a way to ruin us, every one of us is constantly on our best behavior. Acting a certain way; dressing a certain way; speaking a certain way.

If the world knew the real me, it’d shudder. Lace. Pearls. Dresses. Collars. All I want is to be someone’s pretty little doll that they dress up and tell me how pretty I am. I want to be loved for the real me; not the image I’m forced to show to the world just so I can keep my spot on the ice.

The only place I find that escape is in an online role playing game where I can be the sexy femme mage and get my flirt on. Find the man of my dreams.

And I do. He’s a big, hot druid ready to sweep me off my feet. Now if only I could find the courage to tell him who I am and trust that he won’t share it with the rest of the world. I’m not ready to end my career yet.

DemiDefenseKip

I’m known for my defensive plays. Aggressive. Precise. Quick. Strong. On the ice, I’m an icon that the world loves to put on a pedestal and worship. I’ve carefully cultivated everything about my public appearance to capitalize on my short career. Considering I’m a noted ‘queer athlete’ – a title that never strays too far from any article – I’m truly living a charmed life.

What the world doesn’t know is that it’s not just my sexuality that makes having a relationship in the spotlight difficult. It’s also because I’m demisexual. Finding someone interested in me and not my jersey or bank balance has proven especially challenging.

So how does someone with a recognizable face the world over find love? If you figure it out, let me know.

Protected by the Tiger Shifter by L. Rose

5 ⭐️ read by @lilarose78 … I’m sad 😔 because I have to wait until April 30th for Riker story 😂…

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

I’m sad. Because I gotta wait until April 30th to read Riker story. That’s one crazy man!!!! To enjoyed getting kidnapped and where the heck the biker dude came from when Soren shut things down lol..

Like dang he came in like Superman!!

But bruh…. I’m sad. lol!

But anyways… I enjoyed Kieran and Nox story. Kieran is who Nox needed because he had a lot of anger inside of him. It’s not much I would like to say because I’m more curious about Riker a** … plus Kieran parents was cool with everything as well which I liked…

Book Description:

Nox

People see me as the asshole who deals with the hellish jobs. That’s because people fear me, which is how I like it.

Unfortunately, I also have to put up with the tiger inside me. My beast should have protected me when I was younger, but instead, all he’s ever wanted are pats and attention.

I’ve hated that tiger… until him.

Our fated mate.

Kieran

Single life as a young college professor with anxiety is trying. Add in my poor coordination and I often wonder if there’s someone in the world who will ever accept me as I am.

Even the men my parents try to set me up with don’t work out—that second date never does come.

But after one heart-stopping, breathtaking glance from a stranger, I figure that none of the men before him are meant for me.

Thankfully, after a mugging and meeting a loveable tiger, Nox is back in my life.

Now all I have to do is keep him there.

Left on Read (Crimson Club #4) by Willow Dixon

This one was an okay read .

Book Review:

<strong>***Spoilers here and there*** </strong>

I think this one was different to me than the other ones. They kept me interested until the end and wanted more!! I hope that Quinn book isn’t like this one.

Towards the end I got bored and just scan through the rest to finish the book. Overall all it was alright. I’ll give it between a 3 star ⭐️ and 4 ⭐️.. because I can’t decide.

I thought that both Hayden and River was a good fit for each other in the end. It was cute that River did asked Hayden to married him and to finally tell Hayden how he felt and that he wanted more than a friendship I was glad of that.

Plus everybody liked them together. That was a good thing. Especially what Hayden did for them with Quinn when the situation happened at their construction job because that was wrong. I am hoping that the other guys like Bubbles and the rest did ended up getting a job as well with Quinn ….. idk if I saw that in there or not especially with me scanning through the ending!!

Book Description:

Using a dating app to find someone willing to sell their tools for cheap might be unconventional, but it wasn’t like I was having any luck finding my person on them. I’m about to give up on my search for love, and tools, when Hayden messages me.

Not only is my stolen-tool problem solved, but it turns out he’s a great guy, and we quickly become friends. But the more time we spend together, the more I notice something between us.

Something that doesn’t just feel like friendship.

Something that makes me want more. Makes me want him.

Watching Hayden lose control is everything. So is knowing he can’t stay away from me, either.

Best Served Cold (Crimson Club #3) by Willow Dixon

Enjoy this one. 5 star ⭐️

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

I just couldn’t understand how River was always around when both Zane and Noah was having s*x. Like with every encounter they had with each other at the party or the club. He was always there. I think he enjoyed watching them.

Especially considering him always drawing picture of the guys in positions with the person they are dating or the other drawings he have done with the half naked.

I can’t wait to read his story next and how he will feel when he learn his feelings and stuff.

Plus I love him and Noah relationship as friends. Because I think they all needed each other in the end. Especially Zane and Noah!

I was glad finally see who was Noah was from he being mentioned in Nick book with Evan. It sucked how his mom treated him. Well more so his parents. It’s crazy people in real life actual stuff happens like that.

I was glad he decided to not go back and found himself. And not only that his sister found her someone to love her as well…

Book Description:

When the guys at work dare me and the new guy to play a game of gay chicken, I figure I’ll get my first kiss and bragging rights for winning. What I don’t expect is for that game to awaken something in me. Something I’ve never felt before.

Something that makes me want more. Makes me want him.

I never back down from a challenge, but that doesn’t explain why being with Noah feels so good. Why I can’t stop thinking about him. Why he’s the only person who’s ever stirred even the slightest interest in me.

Why getting him off gets me off.

Watching Noah lose control is everything. So is knowing he can’t stay away from me, either.

Zane and Noah’s story is an animosity to lovers, double bi-awakening romance. You can expect public fun, tons of heat, lots of banter, and reluctant feels as these two impulsive and competitive guys realize that in some games, everyone’s a winner. It is the third book in the exciting new Crimson Club series but can be read as a standalone.

Fakers with Benefits (Crimson Club #2) by Willow Dixon

Just finished this one 💯 good read ✔️

Book Review:

***Spoilers here and there***

I love and enjoyed this book. I will say this I had.. no… I knew that Malcolm was behind those letters towards Evan and then Nick. That man was sketchy asf. I was glad when they finally caught on to the crap he was pulling and the legal stuff he was into.

I also figured that he was cheating on Emily with Imegeon whatever how you spell that girl name. Because of how he talked about her and treated Emily. On top of that how Imgeon was acting towards Emily dress picks!!!

I was glad that marriage didn’t happened. & that both Evan and Nick made their fake relationship into a REAL one at the end.

Not only that but Emily and Vlado gotten together in the end as well. I was excited to see that as well! Love them together.

But deep down I can’t wait to read book 3 because I am sooo curious about Zane and Rath aka Noah. He never popped up in this book! But I swear I thought that Zane was straight and River not so much but it was Zane being ace and River straight!!!

Book Description:

Just when I think my life can’t get any weirder, a mysterious stranger comes to the club and offers me a crap-ton of cash to pose as his boyfriend for ninety days.

The job sounds simple enough. Evan is as rich as he is hot, and he says he doesn’t expect anything from me other than my acting skills. If we can pull it off and fool his friends and family, he gets his inheritance. I get a new wardrobe, a huge payout, and a chance to see how the other half lives.

But as time goes on and I find myself becoming more involved in Evan’s world, I realize things aren’t always as they seem.

On the outside Evan is a buttoned-up, boring businessman. But when he starts receiving letters threatening not only himself, but also me, I find out who he truly is.

Ruthless.

Possessive.

And the only person who’s ever made me feel seen.
