A Little Complicated - Kelsie Rae

-

A Little Complicated is the first book in the The Little Things series which is the second generation novel offshoot following the children of the couples from the Don't Let Me series. 




After having read the five books of the Don’t Let Me series I was like “Oh, I know what I'm getting myself in to with Kelsie Rae." And yeah, she follows her same basic vibe here and then HITS YOU IN THE HEART WITH THE BIGGEST HEAVIEST PLOT TWIST THAT CAN DESTROY THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE EVER. Sure, I knew it was going to happen. I saw it telegraphed. But surely she wouldn’t? And then she did. And I cried for like the last third of the damn book. Did I love it? Yes. Was it okay? No. Was it worth it? Yes. But still. How dare you. My heart.

The book centers around the relationship between Ophelia (daughter of Theo and Blakely from Don't Let Me Go) and Maverick (son of Henry and Mia from Don't Let Me Down). Opie and Maverick had been having a secret relationship prior to her starting her freshman year of college and Mav was ready to go public with it at her prom... and then he dumped her an hour before the big dance. During her freshman year due to them living in close quarters can they stay apart? OF COURSE NOT. It's a romance. But the journey is hard and really did make me cry like a little child for many chapters. Seriously... KR hurt me. 

4.75 and a box of tissues.

The Break Out - Madi Danielle

 HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO MADI DANIELLE AND THE BREAK OUT  the newest release in the Denver Dragons series.  I was *SO HONORED* to be an ARC reader for this book and I have read it twice. Once just to squeal and squee and enjoy once to make sure I did it justice when I wrote what I wanted to say about it.  Today when you get to meet Colton and Brynn there are a few things you should know.  He really is a grade-A jackhole. When Brynn says "It really is unfair that the universe decides to give a man that face and body, but his shitty personality" You will feel it with your whole chest along with her and yet ... you're still going to want him to ride you like he rides the mechanical bull.  Brynn is everything you expect her to be from getting pieces parts of her from Brents POV in The Hat Trick and so much more. You will want to protect her from being hurt by a fuck-boi but also know she is capable of doing that all her own - thank you very much.  So what ha...

On my Bookish BS

-
Hello there, nice to meet you, I am the writer of this BS. I am a 40 something, cis, bisexual, married female. I am a data analyst and former English major with too much time on her hands and a love of all things bookish.  I am in my romance, romantasy, smutty book era and I am loving it.  I'm doing my best to read more indie, queer, and minority authors. As much as I love SJM and Rebecca Yarros I know there's a whole world outside of that delicious mainstream bubble so ... yeah.  Some posts may be about just how incredible an author is. Some posts may be about tropes and themes that are awesome or really grind my gears. All posts will be book adjacent but may not be about just one book. Again, I am here for the vibes, I am on my bookish BS after all.  Hang out, meet some new authors, support them by reading something new with me, and enjoy. Or don't. This is really about me having an outlet. Cool? Cool.

Exile - Poppy Fitzgerald

 I was lucky enough to be an ARC reader for Exile by Poppy Fitzgerald and let me tell you... HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER GO READ THIS NOW.  We met the FMC of this book, Serena, in Poppys first book, Astray, where she was a police officer attempting to help Eloise when she was being stalked. Serena said she understood... and here we find out why. Serena is working at the local coffee shop and Dominick, a local officer, comes in every day and there's flirting. When they finally go out on a date she is so taken by his generosity and up front kindness that she overlooks the red flags like a blind bull.  But why would she want to see the worst in people when she was living with a sick mother, severe traumatic brain injury from the car accident that killed her father, and barely scraping by to put herself through college. She was due something good and here was a protective, generous, cop who was bound to protect and serve who wanted to give her the world.  Until everything go...
