On My Bookish BS

I got to read the first book in the Scoring with Love series as an ARC and I was lucky enough to get to again read early it's sequel On Three ... Baby Reed.  and honestly, Katelyn Snyder has become one of my favorite contemporary authors.  Tatum Reed and Darcy Whitestone give in to one night of passion and wind up with a lifetime of commitment in the form of an unexpected bundle of joy. We get to go along with them on a super fun and complex journey from playboy and career focused woman to one happy family. Katelyn Snyder is fantastic at writing cute and funny banter, delicious spice, and the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy and the postpartum experience on both momma and daddy. It's an incredible journey from one night stand to HEA and honestly - these two were headed there from their first meeting in Shot to the Hart. This made me laugh, it made me cry, and I loved the positive representation of taking care of your mental health for both men and women when there ar...

Releasing this week, Masks and Mishaps is the third and final installment of the Streams and Schemes trilogy by Rebecca Kinkade and I am not prepared!  In the Trilogy of Streams and Schemes each book has been increasingly sexy and intense. I was absolutely blown away by how much I fell in love with Dalton and Essie though. Dalton is the most buttoned up, controlled investment banker by day and the most chaotic, foul mouthed, sexy BAMF after hours. Essie? Her brilliant freaking brain! CompSci girl in investment banking by day and queen CamGirl and CamGirl analytics by night? SAY FREAKING LESS. I love everything about these two and their chemistry is so flipping off the charts it makes me so hot my teeth sweat. Dalton looks at Essie like she hangs the stars and everyone else like they touch her and he will burn their houses down. Like all Rebecca Kinkade books you get all the best banter, competency kink, brilliant freaking people being both brilliant and kinky AF, and some of the m...

I love me some fantasy/romantasy but I was utterly unprepared for the world created by N.E. Davenport in Our Vicious Oaths.  Malachi and Kadeesha are two of the best written MCs I have come across in a fantasy in a while. He is devious, deadly, and DELICIOUS in the best of ways. She is cunning, caring, and freaking brilliant and also FREAKING DELICIOUS. The two of them together? I have no words.  The complexity of their relationships, to each other, to their families, to their friends, to the courts which they serve, to the wider universe in which they exist is just mind blowing. Davenport did an incredible job creating this all-encompassing world that I just wanted to get lost in. I wanted to know more about every single character; there were relationships growing and changing in the wings that I wanted to know more about. The main story line was so satisfying, each twist and turn made me go OH! YES! OOOO I didn't see that coming! OF COURSE! I just loved the ride, and the pay...
