Sass Jay Hogan (Style Series, #3) Publication date: October 27th 2022 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Romance For two years I’ve kept Leon Steadman at a safe distance, ever since the night he turned me down flatter than a pancake with a side order of syrupy disapproval. His loss. The world is full of sexy men. One and done is simply good math and efficient use of my time. Or it would be if I hadn’t been lusting after the irritating, judgemental, gorgeous, mountain of a man, ever since. The less I see of Leon, the better. Bad enough that his tattoo business sits next to Flare, the fashion store I manage, and that he’s friendly with my boss. But now he’s apartment-sitting above the shop, as well. Every time I turn around, Leon is there. In my store. In my space. Messing with my head. Being all nice and charming and acting like maybe he’s not the biggest jerk to walk the earth, after all. Well, I don’t want or need Leon’s apologies, but maybe if I can have him, just once, ...

Review: #FashionVictim - Amina Akhtar - September 2018 Scrolling through my kindle trying to find something to read on a Saturday morning, I came across #fashionvictim and I was in the mood for a bit of a mystery. This book however turned out to be a very dark ride and a bit odd and weird. The book starts with a magazine writer Anya who sees a therapist and has a vision board to become best friends with her idol/co-worker Sarah. Turns out though that Anya has mental issues and as the book goes along, she takes a sadistic and psychopathic turn when she starts randomly killing people who she believes are standing in the way of her dream and greatness. Some of the ways the people die reminded me very much of Final Destination deaths as one girl died with a stiletto bashed into her head. #FashionVictim in one way was a slow-paced read for me as I had to push my way through the book as I started to find it a hard read about 40% of the way through but figured since I was already about halfw...

Review: Tell Me S'more - Book #4 The Campfire Series - Beth Merlin - May 2021 After enjoying this series, I was excited to read the new book out. However, I thought it would have been a continuation of the series but it turned out to be almost like Book #1 from Perry's POV leading up to his relationship with Annabelle and his amazing spectacular production of Elizabeth I. In this book, we start back at the beginning of Perry's and Gigi's relationship starting at Camp Chinooka. The book then has the pair move in with Perry trying to find his big break and Gigi moving forward with her fashion line along with her GBF Jamie. Perry is at a standstill when he heads back to Camp Chinooka and gets his inspiration back. During this time, he and Gigi get engaged, and then tragedy strikes with Perry's dad dying. This starts the rollercoaster ride that many readers have seen in the other three books between Perry and Gigi and contributes to the heartbreak and downfall that w...
