Review: The More I Hate - Book #1 Gilded Decadence Series - Blake Hensley - February 2024 Scrolling through my Kindle one day, searching for something to really sink my teeth into, I stumbled across The More I Hate by Blake Hensley. The moment I clicked on it and saw who was behind the pen name, I felt that familiar flutter of excitement as Blake Hensley is the combined forces of two of my absolute favourite dark romance authors, Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley, who have joined their surnames just as they've joined their talents. These two women are queens of the genre, and the idea of them collaborating had me immediately sold. I'll be honest  I'd taken a bit of a break from dark romance lately. The books had started to blur into one another, leaning heavily into explicit content at the expense of the thing I actually crave most: chemistry. That slow-burning, charged, magnetic pull between two people that makes you forget to breathe. So I came into this one cautiously hopeful,...

Review: Break My Rules - Book #2 Oxford Legacy Series - Roxy Sloane - December 2024 If you've been following along here on the blog, you'll know that I absolutely loved the first book in Roxy Sloane's series, so it's fair to say I was more than a little eager to curl up and dive straight into Book #2, Break My Rules. And oh my goodness, did it deliver from the very first page! The book opens on a complete OMG moment , the kind that makes you sit up straight and forget your cup of tea is going cold beside you. Tessa discovers that St Clair has the same tattoo her sister described as part of the attack that drove her to suicide. Now, if you read Book #1, you'll remember that no body was ever found, and trust me when I say that little detail becomes very, very important as this story unfolds. What I loved most about this book is how Roxy Sloane handles the emotional fallout of that discovery. Tessa tells St Clair about the tattoo, and suddenly both of them are comple...
