Weekly Wrap-Up

Hey, guys!


Happy Monday! It's time again for the Weekly Wrap-Up of the books I've read last week. Five books were read this week, which seems to be fairly average during this time of year when I'm really working a lot. One physical book, four eBooks. Four full lengths, (very) short story.

I'm taking the 2015 Goodreads Reading Challenge, and I set my goal to 220 books to read this year. As of right now I have read 137, which puts me at 62% completed and 34 books ahead of schedule. I'm really enjoying tracking what I've read!


Add to Goodreads

Adult, dark erotica. 3.5 stars.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this sinfully dark and dirty read. The storyline was fast paced and compelling, and even though it definitely wasn't perfect by any means, it was a very engaging read and I'm looking forward to the sequel. Fair warning though: it ends on a decent cliffhanger.

New adult, paranormal romance. 2.5 stars.

Theoretically, this should be right up my alley: angels, a sexy badass guy, ass-kicking, mystery. Unfortunately, this didn't do it for me. The protagonist got on my very last nerve with her sheer stupidity, the "sexy badass" was really just a douche,  and I found myself not caring about anyone in the story. I try not to judge a series on the first book, so I will be picking up the second, though my expectations are low. At least the cover's pretty!

Erotica. 1 star.

Without a doubt, this was the worst book I've read all year.  It was free for a damn good reason.

An enjoyable read that started out very strong but wound up loosing steam.  Review coming soon.

Weekly Wrap Up

Hey, guys!
It's once again time to go through the books I read last week! I finished 6 books for the first week of June. Five were full length novels and one was a novella, three were physical books and three were eBooks. This was a really good number for me during this time of the year, as my work (and dogs, and two blogs...hey, I'm rhyming!) keeps me busy.

Amour Amour - Krista and Becca Ritchie

Read from May 31st to June 1st.

This was deliciously filthy! Just. Plain. Filthy. It's a lot of smut that does not hold back. Warnings for m/f, m/f/m, and even m/f/m/m fun.

Asking For It - Lilah Pace

4 stars
Read from June 4th to June 5th.
Adult, dark erotic romance
This story was absolutely fascinating. It was dark, honest, well written and very intense. It deals with rape fantasy as the by-product of a rape, and has other aspects of sexual abuse. Rape/rape fantasy is one thing that just does nothing for me, so it was interesting to read it without the aspect of turning me on. It was so enthralling, and I can't wait to read the next one. If this is not something that would be a trigger to you, I highly recommend it.
NOTE: All sexual situations between the main characters are completely consensual.

Jacks - Meg Watson

2 stars
Read from June 6th to June 7th.
Adult, erotica.

Um...it was a threesome kind of week?

Weekly Wrap Up

Hey, everyone! Hope y'all are having a good weekend. :) I've read a total of five books this week, which is pretty average for me while being as busy I am with my work and running my other blog.

Two new releases, a series conclusion, a series start, and a deliciously smutty (and currently free on Amazon!!!) compilation marks this week. Check em out below!

Never Never (Never Never #2) - Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher
New adult, contemporary, romantic suspense
5 stars! Review to come within the next three days.
Maximum Ride Forever (Maximum Ride #9) - James Patterson
Young adult, adventure, romance, science fiction
2.5 stars. Review coming soon. This is one of the series that really got me into reading, and I'm so torn on the conclusion. 

Taste Me - A Collection of 27 Scenes from 2015
Adult, erotica and erotic romance
4 stars! I really enjoyed this deliciously dirty read. Review coming this coming week!
Free link!
The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #3) - Michelle Hodkin

3.5 stars. An enjoyable conclusion with one of the best sex scenes I've ever seen in YA, but left lots of questions unanswered. 
Life Blood (Cora's Choice #1) - V. M. Black
Adult, paranormal romance
3 stars.
Free on Amazon!
