ARC Review: The Spark by Vi Keeland

Another great read from Vi Keeland! The Spark was everything I had hoped for and more. From start to finish I enjoyed this one and didn’t want to put it down. Fans of Vi’s will love Autumn and Donovan, and new readers will as well.

Autumn and Donovan have something between them right away that was undeniable.. Their chemistry is off the charts and their connection even stronger. I loved them both and felt like they were so real and genuine. They were perfect for one another and so right together, in a way they couldn’t be with anyone else. I enjoyed seeing their vulnerabilities and how they were there for one another. Also, Donovan just might be the sweetest hero ever and I couldn’t get enough of him!

I highly recommend this one, just like all of Vi’s books! She never disappoints and this one is not to be missed!

ARC Review: Before Us...There Was Him by Lou Stock

This was the first book I’ve read from Lou Stock and I really enjoyed it! Before Us...There Was Him had me from the first page, and I didn’t want to put this one down! Besides real life interruptions, I didn’t stop reading. Lucas and Riley were impossible not to fall for and I honestly can’t wait to read this one again.

Lucas and Riley’s story had it’s ups and downs, but their connection was what kept me captivated. Their chemistry was off the charts, and it was clear that these two shared something unique and special. Each one had their issues and vulnerabilities, but together it was clear that they clicked right from the start and helped to make each other better.

I am really looking forward to reading more from Lou Stock, and I think readers will love this one like I did. This book was different and fresh, and I highly recommend it. If you are new to Lou Stock like I was, I think this is one worth taking the chance on. If you are already a fan, I’m sure you’ll also love this one. (Feel free to drop some more recommendations for me in the comments on what I should read next from Lou!)

ARC Review: Tryst Six Venom by Penelope Douglas

I don’t typically read a lot of F/F stories, but knowing it was Penelope Douglas and seeing this gorgeous cover I knew I had to give it a shot! I absolutely loved Clay and Liv’s story and I think this book will be one that a lot of readers enjoy. 

Liv and Clay on the surface have little in common except the school they attend. I really enjoyed getting to know each of them as individuals and as they circled one another. There was so much tension and attraction between them. I also really loved that this wasn’t your typical bully NA read. This one was unique and original in a way that only Penelope Douglas can deliver. Clay and Liv had their own insecurities and vulnerabilities, and seeing them grow and change over the course of this book kept me turning pages and unable to put this one down. 

I also fell in love with Liv’s brothers while reading! I loved how fierce and protective they were. The loyalty their family had to one another is something I couldn’t get enough of and I honestly hope that Penelope will give us their stories someday as well. 

If you are on the fence about this one, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It was good, fresh and original. While I know F/F isn’t everyone’s jam (typically not mine either!), the story here is worth the read and I think readers will love it like I did.

ARC Review: Mr. Garcia by TL Swan

 

I have become a huge fan of TL Swan’s this year! After binge reading her entire backlist, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Seb’s story. Mr. Garcia definitely didn’t disappoint and I honestly think Seb is right up there with Cameron & Nathan for my favorite heroes of hers now! (although don’t ask me to pick, because they are all honestly amazing!)

Seb and April’s story grabbed my attention right away and I couldn’t put their book down. I loved Seb and April’s connection and attraction, and the chemistry between them was beyond smoking! These two were so perfect for one another, but their journey was anything but easy. These two each had their own issues and insecurities, and I really felt for both of them. Seeing their vulnerabilities and struggles made them relatable, and it was easy to see how they each reacted the way they did at times even while frustrating each other. 

I honestly cannot recommend TL Swan’s books enough, and Mr. Garcia is at the top of that list! While this book is connected to Mr. Masters and Mr. Spencer, (both of which were fantastic!) this is easily read as a standalone. I highly recommend checking out Tee’s books if you haven’t read anything by her yet, trust me you won’t be disappointed! If you are already a fan, Mr. Garcia is everything you know and love from her while on a whole new level! I can’t wait for more from her and will be rereading this one and all her other’s while I wait for her next release, The Casanova!
