On My Bookish BS

 Just when I thought St. Louis was through with me... oh no... first we had Baseball mafia men and then we had Cowboys and now the incredible trilogy of the Burnout series which is hot ass STREETRACERS. The third book of this hot ass series was just released yesterday and after a very late night I finished the book in record speed today and I am just ... hot damn. So let's talk about the men of Oasis.  Dontell and Mina take the spotlight in this novel full of racing and family drama (both biological and chosen family), and sex trafficking. Seriously, consider your triggers, folks. I didn't know I wanted a man to bang me over the hood of a car so badly until I met these men.  And it only gets more intense with Leon and Amara. Um... Leon is a controlling, bad ass, sexy mother fucker who I will submit to any day. At one point he says "Good girls get pleasure. Bad ones get used" and this made me feel all bratty inside and I had a very hard time concentrating on the plot f...

 Yet another read I found while trolling the wilds of Threads and let me tell you... WOAH... Willing Prey is a novella by Allie Oleander and it's the HOTNESS.  I'd be prey for pecs like that. Now let me say... primal play, not my thing. I don't run even when chased. Even in a zombie apocalypse, I will not run when chased. I will be the first eaten by the zombie hoarde. It's fine. I know my limits. However, in written format, I'm in. I'm in hard. Sign me up for the EMOTIONAL chase and this one? It was like a season of Supernatural worth of a hunt.  Claire signs up to be prey for Shane for 30 days after her divorce from her super deficient clown of a husband is caught cheating on her. Shane hires her to be prey after finding out Claire and her ex used to go on "erotic hunting trips" together and becoming a little obsessed with her. What could go wrong... or right?  Dual POV with characters I immediately wanted to know more about, beautiful prose, great ...

When I saw Astray  by Poppy Fitzgerald mentioned on Threads one evening I thought to myself "That cover looks HAWT" and so I added the book to my to be read pile. The tags on the post were your usual dark romance trigger words and I was like ... sure, I'm in. What I found was more romantic thriller than dark romance and I am not mad about it.  I mean … that’s hot. Eloise is a strong, smart, and intelligent woman whose life takes a very twisted path after meeting a dark, dangerous, Jason Momoa type at a bar when her bestie bails on a girls night out.  It's hard to talk about the twists and turns in this book without ruining the plot but let me just say when it comes to how I feel about the men in Eloises life ... As someone who is proud to be the first person to guess the killer in any murder mystery I am so excited to say I liked being tricked by the charming bad guy this time. I really did think he was an okay guy. Well done, Poppy!  Well written, face paced, charac...
