ToOk read...Desmon and Amber meet when they are like 6 and form a forbidden friendship. On his 16th bday he ask her to be his mate, and she says yes. Too bad a crazy alpha gets involved which leaves Amber feeling like D betrayed her (he was trying to save her life) Amber comes back into town like 15 years later divorced and runs into D.
The plot didn’t really work for me. Amber was abused and would be used to chaos in her home life, so I felt like it was a little OTT that she felt so betrayed that she ran off to her dad in another state. In the first chapter she is 6, and says he looks about 9, which made her 13ish when this all went down.
I also lost patience with her poor me, I don’t know what to do attitude. Her younger sisters showed mor maturity.
The book ends, and we get closure for the couple,but there is an ongoing conflict with a rival pack and that will continue with Jazz’s story which is up next. I hope he finds his mate is alive since they never found her body....more

I typically don’t change my ratings on rereads because my tastes definitely change, but this book is 13 bucks… that I REALLY hope I didn’t spend … and the writing doesn’t deserve 3⭐’s.

Sharing You is a poorly executed story of infidelity and people acting illogical to manipulate buckets of nonsensical drama. The rest will have spoilers, so please stop if you haven’t read/plan to.

I did enjoy this book, Mr. Honor is nuts, but still somewhat likable. There is a lot of different info in this as opposed to some other male added POV books. You will miss part of the story if you don't read it.

Kind of a water downed version of the Stark Trilogy. Angelina was pretty insecure and weak throughout most of the book. She was needy, couldn’t make decision, and I didn’t understand her wild side.
Evan was portrayed as a hard edged alpha male who straddles the law, but he was a pretty vanilla, nice guy. They dabble a little in BDSM I guess, but nothing hardcore. ...more

I wish it would have set up the ending a bit better, no epilogue and it just ends. My guess is they want us to read Jane’s trilogy which I have no intention of reading. I don’t care that much. Again I really like the plot, it was drug out too many books so so many parts were boring. Also didn’t get everyone feeling sorry for Anya. What she did was terrible, and criminal, and unrealistic....more
Set in DC book of kinky corrupt politicians and materialistic socialites. This book had so much potential but it fell flat. The author definitely is kSet in DC book of kinky corrupt politicians and materialistic socialites. This book had so much potential but it fell flat. The author definitely is knowledgeable of the dom/sub lifestyle, and portrayed it maturely in the book. I typically LOL during most scenes because they are so over the top, but they were done well. My problem, I found the actual plot woven through all the sex scenes lacked.
Spoilers ahead!!!! Numerous times we were told the Dom had to be dedicated, loyal, respectful to his subs... yet... he went directly to Yvette after telling C he wanted an exclusive relationship. Later he French kisses her, and takes her to lunch at C’s place of work. It was all just brushed away, but doesn’t seem very loyal.
I also thought it was disappointing how the villain was just swept away and mental illness was blamed, even though nothing had happened to her. Did she suddenly develop a split personality? Totally unrealistic ...more

3 “Mafia-Lite” Stars Quick re-read so I could add a review. I’m keeping it at a 3; it was ok, but I couldn’t remember it at all until I was in a good c3 “Mafia-Lite” Stars Quick re-read so I could add a review. I’m keeping it at a 3; it was ok, but I couldn’t remember it at all until I was in a good chunk…so while entertaining… it’s forgettable. The story is mostly told from Catalina’s (Cat) POV; a 28-year-old ballerina, and eldest daughter of a Chicago mobster. Lorenzo is a uber sexy attorney/thief/mobster (I was a tad confused) who I THINK is from a rival family. So there’s a “forbidden romance” vibe going on.
The Good- The couple meets within the first part, and have an instant connection. The sex is numerous and steamy. There’s twist and action throughout to keep you interested. The Bad- I felt like the mafia part was “lite”, and that the backstory needed more. I was fuzzy on a lot of details. Some parts felt rushed, and others felt dropped. (view spoiler)[ Like the mystery surrounding her mother. (hide spoiler)]
Bottom Line- I like the gritty mafia trope, but IMO, this lacked the action, violence, and drama we typically see. It might be good for readers interested, but unsure of the genre to dip a toe, and get a feel. It’s free to read on KU, so give it a shot. ...more

I try not to change my original ratings, but I have to This is a reread and I wish I could say it held up as great as I remember, but it just didn’t. I try not to change my original ratings, but I have to downgrade this to a 3⭐. The biggest issue was the pacing, which was dreadfully slow.
Very little happens for the first 50-65% then all the action happens at the end. The mc’s don’t even meet until 45-ish %... that’s ridiculous. This isn’t some make believe intricate fantasy world that requires tons of worldbuilding. We only needed their backgrounds which we got with TONS of filler.
****Original Review**** Roma King by Callie Hart is the first book in her new Roma Royals duet. I am so glad that I waited to read this book until after Roma Queen had been released. It ends in a cliffhanger, and I have no patience!! Told in dual POV this series is a window into the life of the Roma. This story is about Pasha, the uncrowned Roma king, and of Zara, his soul mate but also an outsider, gorja… there’s murder, kidnapping, and ghosts from the past.
I love possessive, protective, alpha heroes. They are my absolute favorite. Even the ones you want to strangle... Still my favorite. Callie did a good job with this so it's not over the top ridiculous. It's perfection. ...more
