DNF ...

DNF

Check my book comments for why

Umm unless its otherwise consented no means no?

I know this taboo but E tries to stay away for his mums sake and Z just doesnt...so far lots hmmm id almost call them hate f*s but no real connection"

Knox and Aston are simply *chef's kiss*

This book starts out as enemies to lovers but quickly evolves when feelings for each other surface. I wanted to yeet Knox's dad into oblivion for making him feel so insecure about his feelings and sexuality. These boys needed each other when they didn't even know it. And who doesn't love a hot threesome when you "hate" each other!?

I give this one 5 stars and for being the 2nd book in the series, I can't wait to see where we go from here.

I received this as an ARC from Nisha's Books and am leaving an honest review

To start off, I have read a lot of Ashley James' books including the Desires series that goes along with Kismet. But this book was by far, the best one I've read all year. Cash has a huge crush on his professor Stone and at first Stone doesn't realize it until he notices the looks from Cash. Every time they get close, Stone cuts off the situation due to being married(but in an unhappy relationship) When they finally give in, the sparks fly and their relationship is rather spicy.

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD**

Fast forward to the end of the school year: Cash and Stone are making plans to be with one another but then a terrible situation makes Stone leave the state without saying goodbye or explaining himself.

After meeting up again 5 years later, all of the feelings resurface and they fight it tooth and nail until they finally clash. Once everything is explained on how it went down 5 years previously, they begin to get their HEA.

That house tour had me in my feelings; it was soooo sweet I had tears reading it.

Plot: 5/5
Spice: 5/5

I don't want to give spoilers, but Crew and Anderson were amazing together! I'm surprised that Anderson didn't catch on to Crew's secrets for a whole year. Granted, they were apart some due to distance. When they finally got together and revealed their feelings, the chemistry lit up the pages. Crew didn't think he deserved love of any kind but Anderson showed him just how much he's always needed him in his life.

I'm sad that the Deepest Desires series is ending, but so far everything that I have read by Ashley has been fantastic and can't wait to read more from her.

**Reviewing Off Sides by Andi Jaxon**

I loved the instant connection that Nick had with Joey. The way he cared for him even when their first meeting was simply a hook-up. Joey isn't "out" and was nervous that someone was going to recognize him in the club and tell everyone.

After a second-chance meeting, they make an agreement to be each other's exclusive hook up until Joey says stop if he chooses. Joey has struggled with his personal issues and Nick sees how it effects him and takes the lead with Joey's insistance.

Although this is a short story, the spice is definitely in full-force and I don't think I will be able to look at cinnamon rolls the same either!.

This is Book 2 in the Black Diamond series and it definitely did not disappoint either!

Caspian and Rowan meet when they are both in rehab for their respective issues. Caspian has a really crappy family history where he was basically ignored so he is now an angsty rockstar and is afraid to let people into his private world.

Rowan has issues of his own and keeps his guard up by being happy-go-lucky ray of sunshine that does seem to be a little over the top at times.

Once their spicy times come into play, however, it seems like they have a lot in common with their kinks.

Looking forward to the others in this series!.

This book had me in a chokehold from start to finish...like seriously.

Zeke and Elias first meet at a college party where things get hot and heavy in ALL the ways. Elias being the young, carefree college student and Zeke being the rich business owner. They didn't know who each other was until it was announced that Zeke was marrying Elias' mother.

The tension and possessiveness in this story was 100% smoking hot the entire time and didn't cause the story to lag in any way, which I love. The slightly primal way that these two are with each other is a definite green flag for me.

Elias needed someone to push him and put him in his place in all of the dirty, delicious ways and Zeke had no problems doing this. I also enjoyed their intimate moments too where they just spent quality time together just to be in the same room.

Oh, and that plot twist? I never would have guessed!.
