Damn how is it possible to choose any couples from Lark Taylor, I had an inched that Micah was more complex than we could think and I wasn’t disappoinDamn how is it possible to choose any couples from Lark Taylor, I had an inched that Micah was more complex than we could think and I wasn’t disappointed!!! Micah and Nox are now one of my fav couples, I loved how they interacted, the tension between them, the taste of forbidden, of secret, of hate !! When they’re together, they just become one - they’re really made for each other !!
It was wonderful to get a better understanding of the Seraphim and how Heathen works, I love them all by the way, this unit is a family and they truly support each other, also they’re all a little crazy which is just a perfect image of angels. Micah is the perfect leader, he’s in charge of everything and his main goal is to ensure the security of his unit, he would do anything for them, but Micah is missing someone to take care of him, to let him breathe, release all the tension, the pent-up energy. Good thing that fate chose Nox for him, despite knowing that he should not get involved with an angel, he cannot prevent himself from making trouble, catching his attention, and infuriating him !!
Lot of games of cat and house, lot of banter, lot of tension, that book has everything I love, and in addition, Micah and Nox bring the story higher !! It will be one of my favourite reads!!
I cannot wait for more as always !

To see their interaction, how much they communicated the whole story. It’s a slow burn, and a long, hard journey toward recovery.
This story focuses on Gage's recovery, to be able to see how he looks through his eyes, how he feels along the way - that was powerful and heartbreaking. Alexei has his own trauma but seeing his own weirdness going so well with Gage just made me believe in soulmate.
Just beautiful, intense ! You know that it’s gonna be hard but still, you’re waiting to see how it will go, if something happens, it’s stressful and exciting at the same time.
Seeing this world dedicated to weirdos, it’s really great because, in the end, we’re all weird in a way.

It was so painful to see the aftermath and the pain Bryan was feeling but Tobias was so patient, thoughtful. I loved how we could both their struggles and the force of their connection. He can try how much he wants, Bryan cannot fight the mate bond, he finds everything he needs, wants, wishes in Tobias. Also who doesn’t like a good duo going to hunt some ghost.
I’m just loving this series and I’m so excited for the next one, it will also hurt in a way.

I’m even proud to say that when Lark first announced that Danny would have a book I guessed his mate, Riley sounded to be made for him. They were just so similar in certain ways, perfect for each other and what a rollercoaster of emotion obviously like always !!
Riley and Danny are best buddies, they’re like a platonic married couple, doing so many things together, relying on each other. Until one fateful night when things start to change, following this Riley decides to have the best idea ever which puts Danny in a weird position and makes him react with another best idea to protect Riley from himself - and what a fiasco that was.
I loved every word, every page, Lark Taylor has this way with words, I think I could read whatever she writes, I’ve never been so many times on the bridge of crying. Her plume is so full of emotion, that you can feel the pain, the happiness, the relentless, everything that the characters are feeling.
Sooo do not hesitate to read this beautiful love story between two best friends who finally realised what their bond was.

Caspian is the ultimate broken boy, seeing the story unfold and all that Jude is going through, how he was affected by his love for Caspian, how much he had to fight in his life. This story is full of manipulation, questioning, reassessment, pain, hope. It’s a full emotional novel from Jude’s POV and goes from his late teens to some years in the future. Throughout this journey, we get to see how one powerful emotion can affect another person’s life, it’s toxic, it’s dangerous and as well it’s beautiful.
I don’t really know what to write because I do not want to spoil anything, I would say that it is a must-read but be prepared for the overwhelming emotions ...more
I loved that story so much, it was just funny and sweet. How something beginning with a misunderstanding can be so cute. Theo is so sweet and cluelessI loved that story so much, it was just funny and sweet. How something beginning with a misunderstanding can be so cute. Theo is so sweet and clueless most of the time, so when Perry (who moved to learn more about his half-brother Ty) hits on him at a party, he totally doesn’t see it and agrees to hook up the next day. What a surprise for him when he finally understands the situation the next day. Even if Perry is a little disappointed, a tight friendship starts to bloom between the two and they end up spending so much time together and learning about each other, for sure Perry cannot resist Theo’s cuteness.
However, they both have their issues, their struggles but they find comfort in each other, so much so that as more time passes Theo realises that he’s feeling attraction toward Perry and wants to explore it with him. From friends to friends with benefits, Perry is seeing stars but feelings are more complicated than he thoughts. Such a beautiful journey for both of them.
Such an amazing new start for this series, Playing Games was one of my favs, so I was really happy to see Ty and Brad again ...more
Whaaaa this story was a major surprise, I wasn’t expecting something so sweet, cute and beautiful. Matt is so different from what he shows, he’s touchWhaaaa this story was a major surprise, I wasn’t expecting something so sweet, cute and beautiful. Matt is so different from what he shows, he’s touch starved and even if he’s scared of this new development in his life he wants to make amend with his brothers.
After waking up married to Cooper in Vegas, Matt is totally stressed, how did he end up like this, can he solve this situation? He already has so many problems going on in his life. But he hadn’t expected that Cooper wouldn’t want a divorce right away, and without any transition he’s part of his daily life, trying to be able to pay for the divorce. How can Matt resist when Cooper gives him all he needs, all he was wishing for, but still, he’s not gay even if what’s happening and what he wants is ok.
Truthfully I was deeply invested emotionally, Matt is struggling so much meanwhile Cooper wants him for real so much, he just loves taking care of him and having him in his life. Obvi there are lots of cameos and funny moments with our favs boys.
Now I’m really curious and excited about Mitch, I would totally see him with a man who’s bigger than him, first because it would be sooo hot but also because Mitch has so much anger, he would be someone he cannot intimidate physically. But well it’s just me thinking randomly ...more

Blaise's pain and trauma were everywhere over thAll of Lark Taylor’s books are emotional but this one reached a whole new level, it was row and deep. Blaise's pain and trauma were everywhere over the pages, he had to endure so much but his salvation with Toby is the sweetest, from the beginning I couldn’t hate Blaise, he made one mistake which cost him so so much… It was emotional, painful, tearful and beautiful - I loved the dynamic between the two and the fact that Toby is a dom, it goes so well for their relationship. Also, that timeline was just so well done, and perfectly inserted, I think I never highlighted a book this much. I don’t even know what to right because I don’t want to spoil anything !!
Blaise is broken, haunted by his past actions, he’s not able to get out of the infernal spiral he’s stuck in - not until his fateful meeting with Toby who finds a certain happiness in helping people to be at peace with themselves even at his own detriment sometimes. Incapable of resisting his calling and Blaise's pain, he proposed him to enter into a one-year contract in order to help him build back his confidence, push away the self-hatred and bring back his joy of life. All of this in the middle of whatever is happening around them.
Just be ready for an emotional rollercoaster, lots of banter from the group, love, friendship and a lot of other emotions good and bad. I loved that book so much, I just couldn’t stop reading, everything hurt but it was just too beautiful to see their love bloom and damn Lark Taylor really writes intense/emotional books and I love her writing.

So wh4,5⭐️ From the first book, it was hinted that Nathaniel was a respectable vampire who only wished to protect the city and his vampires from harm. So when the opportunity to ally with the witches arises, well he cannot say no especially since it involves his fated mate. Meanwhile, Ethan has been rejected all his life by his coven due to his lack of power and the effect he has on magic. But the man is on a mission, he must save everyone at all costs even if it means marrying the vampire king. However, Nathaniel is nothing like he thought, instead of having a husband craving for blood and violence, he finds a caring person who doesn’t hesitate to put his needs last and is adamant to protect him. Faced with this revelation, Ethan will do everything in his power to protect his new husband as well.
I really loved that story, it was beautiful to see the love bloom between the two, most of all how much Nathaniel cherished Ethan for who he was and not how powerful he was. And after the rejection Ethan suffered, he’s truly baffled by Nathaniel’s attitude and finds comfort in it ...more
4,5⭐️ I truly enjoyed that story, it was just so emotional. Bowie has been through a lot and he’s so angry but at the same time, he’s just so scared. S4,5⭐️ I truly enjoyed that story, it was just so emotional. Bowie has been through a lot and he’s so angry but at the same time, he’s just so scared. Scared of what Mason makes him feel, scared of repeating the same mistakes, scared to have his heart broken, to become a shell of himself. But Mason is not like his ex-boyfriend, and even not the typical billionaire, he’s just so sweet, down to earth and genuinely nice.
Mason came into Bowie’s life to make him feel again, to make him open up and even if Mason is also scared of the journey he wouldn’t do it with anyone who’s not Bowie. Bowie has such a deep trauma but Mason is his salve and their story is soooo beautiful.

Anna just wants a normal life, to go to work, build her little home, cure her headaches - she wasn’t ready to wake up an enormous Gargoyle from his slumber and have him stay in her apartment. After years and years stuck in stone, Frey is finally free and most of all he found his heartsong, the one he had been looking for before his curse.
Anna had a tough life and has a hard time accepting being the soulmate of an ancient Gargoyle warrior - to whom this could happen, well anyone but her would have been great. She really has this “normal” vibe to which she’s particularly attached, but just love her fierce persona, she’s a feisty one ! Meanwhile, Frey is so patient, little by little he creates his space in her life, conquering her with love and caring. Just beautiful, sweet and adorable - never forgot that he is a warrior (that’s hot).
Such a fantastic story, I love this series and I’m excited and curious about what is coming next, we had some interesting revelations.

Max is really distressed by his past actions toward his little brother (Magnus), now years have passed and he has realised how much he’s missing him and how he missed on his life (he wants to know his niece and nephew). With a goal to learn and better understand, a straight man walks into a gay bar and then meets the easygoing Beau who makes it his mission to teach him everything about being gay. From that moment, a deep friendship starts to develop between the two who soon become inseparable. The more Max discovers about Beau, the more he feels conflicted and lost, questioning himself - starting his own journey toward acceptance and love. Beau knows that he should not fall for his straight friend but how can he resist Max who is lonely and trying so hard to patch up his relationship with his brother.
Sweet, beautiful, caring, Beau and Max are truly meant to be with each other

Nate has been hiding from his family, never to let them see how much his mental health is at stake. And now he has been seen by one of Vitality’s Devil who is doing everything to intrude in his life, wanting to take over. Kazimir is twisted, manipulative and is ready to do anything to make sure that Nate follows through, but he isn’t prepared to like this boyfriend thing until he releases that he could lose everything.
Even if Nate accepts despite himself certain things, he has this side of mine that will do whatever is necessary to preserve his family, and he doesn’t hesitate to show Kazakhs what it truly means to be in a relationship. Also, Kazakhs is the only one that truly takes care of Nate, never does his brother or sister see that no one is here for him when he needs it.
Loved it sooo much, Kaz was complex, twisted but there is this side of him that is touching, especially when he interacts with Nate. Also I was curious about Nuri (Nate’s brother) and his husband Silver who is also an emperor and a psych*, so next book to read (His Dark Paradox). ...more

Royal’s career is not doing well, his attitude on and off the tracks doesn’t please the fans, he’s not known as the hotshot for nothing. Worried for his reputation, his agent has the marvellous idea to hire a reporter to follow him and share anything about him to make him more accessible, more likeable, and of course she couldn’t find anyone else than Soren who hates him and always posts negative things about him. Soren agreed to do his job but making Royal talk about himself and just open up to him and his audience. However, the more time he passes with him, the more he sees the real Royal and he cannot prevent himself from falling for him and his bratty attitude.
I just loved everything about this book, Royal and Soren are just amazing together, but most of all I loved Royal’s journey, how he learns to trust and open himself to Soren, his friends and then the world. Hate to love, forced proximity, awakening, found family, and other tropes, just an amazing story ❤️

When Tristan discovers his new neighThis story was such a beautiful slow-burn romance, I was really excited for Quinn’s story and it was just amazing.
When Tristan discovers his new neighbour he isn’t expecting a hot and charming man who even if he’s not ashamed of his job's past and current he’s still wary of people about it, but Tristan sees him only as Quinn. After his divorce, Tristan finds comfort in his new friendship with Quinn until he realises that he wouldn’t be against more, especially after their stunt during his friend's wedding. Quinn is changing his life and now Tristan and his adorable son are kind of part of it, he is surprised by his own feelings but he can’t resist the single dad next door and his shattered soul.

I really liked the story, seeing these two basketball players falling deeply for each other and trying to deal with their careers, their issues and being true to each other, just beautiful. Lots of games are described, it’s important to see Ty's space of mind (single POV) and Ty/Sid's faces off during the games are epic !!
Ty’s POV is intense, I just couldn’t stop feeling his pain, being in his head, seeing his nightmares; this story is in a way heartbreaking but Sid is Ty’s light, he’s supportive, affectionate, comprehensive, caring and still not perfect (nobody is).
Overall get ready for deep feelings, deep connection, harsh games, and a lot of s**
