This book has been on my TBR list for a couple months now and finally got to read. This book was so good. I have never read a book like this. This was so very well written. I totally wanted to yell at Adeline when she did something that could be spooky. I was so scared to go anywhere in my house at night so of course I keep reading. So I had a hard time hating zade because of his job saving woman and children form s trafficking. Him calling her little mouse and giving her rose makes him sweet. But then you get mad at him for stocking adeline and been crazy. when he cuts a guys hands off for touching her is like super crazy and telling her that she's is. The double story with her grandma's journal was so good and made the story so much more intense. This book was so well written and had my emotions all in with this book. Make sure to read triggers because this book deals with intense ones. As always must be 18 and older. Spice was a 5 and rating 5.  Thanks for reading Grace  

The Cheat Sheet By Sarah Adams

Image
  This book was such a good romcom and best friends to lovers trope. Also has that Football NFL theme in it. The way Bree and Nathan both love each other but do not say anything for six years is so frustrating. It is so cute how Nathan does so much for Bree that she has no clue he does. Then when Bree finds out and gets drunk and talks to a report is such a funny but good moment. She finally admits the truth of her feeling but she is drunk and tells a reporter which was so funny. Then Nathan and her fake date which turns into them admitting they have feelings. You can tell Nathan loves Bree because he surprises her with an amazing epic moment that shows how much they care for each other. The ending is so sweet. This book was so well written.

Garrett really shows Hannah a sweet side of him and that his not just some hockey player. They way Hannah loves singing for Garrett and been able to show him her emotions in music. Garretts dad is such a D-bag you will want to punch him. I think it is so funny how Garrett put a hands off order for Hannah because he love her and does not want her to get with anyone else. The way he does not let Hannah bull about why they broke up and calls her out on her crap. The way the work through Hannah's free makes you love Garrett. The spice level omg was hot.

Beautiful Devil By K. Woods & ER Sloane

Image
Thank you so much K. Woods and ER Sloane for letting me be an ARC reader. This was such a good mafia romance book. This book was so well written. The opening with Gia's story totally had me thinking that her story was going to go different. Fabi totally has the Mob Boss vibe going on. When he takes Gia I did not think it would turn to him marrying her. Then how he cares for her and try's to get her to fall in love with him. The spice scenes were so well written. When Fabi was made because Gia was not acting like a wife I liked how he was not going to cheat on her at his s** club which showed he was really in love with her. Then you got so mad at him for what he said about Gia and mafia life you just wanted to punch him. Then when you think Gia left because she was for what she heard he say and find out she was kidnap. That was such a mouth drop moment and the epic moment went different then I thought it would go. This book keep having so many surprises. The ending was so cutie ...

Then you find out he was just protecting Kat from being demon possessed.
