Review: Caraval - Book #1 Caraval Series - Stephanie Garber - September 2016 I had recently finished the Once Upon a Broken Heart series and the first book mentioned a little bit about Jack's relationship with someone named Donatella.  At the time of reading the first two books, I didn't realize that there was a prequel series with the first book being Caraval. This month on Bookstagram, a group of friends were doing a buddy read and since I had a copy on my bookshelf, I thought I would make it a priority to read this month. I also needed to get the Once Upon a Broken Heart world out of my head. I went in blind to Caraval and have to admit it was a darker book than the Once Upon a Broken Heart series and then reading this book, the female character Scarlett frustrated the hell out of me. She was so whiny and was very much playing the victim-blaming game and she was so self-righteous and wanted to control everything. I just wanted to shake her and scream for her to wake up. I gu...

We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most. All we wanted was each other… Do You Want Me, the all-new, all-consuming start to a scorching hot series that will leave you breathless by Wall Street Journal bestselling author WIllow Winters, is available now. Some love stories are a slow burn. Others are quick to ignite, scorching and branding your very soul before you’ve taken that first breath. You’re never given a chance to run from it. That’s how I’d describe what happened to us. Everything around me blurred and all that existed were his lips, his touch… The chase and the heat between us became addictive. Our nights together were a distraction, one we craved to the point of letting the world crumble around us. We should have paid more attention; we should have known that it would come to this. We both knew it couldn’t last, but that didn’t change what we desired most. All we wanted was each other… "The emotions Willow evo...

Review: Betray Me - Book #2 Willow Height Prep Series - Selena - April 2020 The first book in this series ended on a major cliffhanger and I couldn't wait to read Book #2. I also have to admit this is one of the better Bully romances I have read and the content in this book is aimed at the 18+ audience and can be quite intense. If you thought Romeo and Juliet's families were warring with each other, the Dolces and Darlings take it up a whole major notch. At the beginning of this book, Crystal's twin brother Royal is missing and Crystal's alibi covers one of the Darling brothers - Devlin.

The thing though that Crystal is finding difficult is that her body and emotions are betraying her as she finds herself in this love/hate relationship behind closed doors with Devlin Darling. In Betray Me, we learn more about the rivalry between the Dolces and the Darlings and it looks ...
