This is a hard one. Pass on it if domestic abuse is too difficult. I trusted Adriana Anders, and she delivered the sweetest (and somehow very sexy) story. Fans of Colleen Hoover should level up to this storyline. ✔️ Dual POV (Ivan x Uma) ✔️ Set in a Southern-ish small town ✔️ Open- door contemporary romance (4.5/5🌶️) ✔️ Tropes: Overcoming past trauma ⚠️ CW: Domestic abuse

Enjoyment rating

I'm curious how you all decide on your ratings for "Enjoyment". I usually base mine on whether it was a good read and if I never got bored. But sometimes it feels strange to give a book five stars if it deals with sensitive topics or feels too heavy. So I’m wondering if y'all rate based on how much fun you had reading it or more on the impact the book had on you.

The writing quality is excellent. The characters are well drawn. The setting feels new. The meet cute is unexpected. C.M. Nascosta NEVER lets you forget she’s in love with an animal, and that feels intentionally destabilizing (so many mentions of his hide 😬). ✔️ Single POV (Violet) ✔️ Set in a contemporary fantasy land ✔️ Open-door contemporary romance (4.5/5🌶️) ✔️ Tropes: Different cultures, class differences, age gap, workplace romance

Morning Glory Milking Farm (Cambric Creek, #1)

C.M. Nascosta

Alternate cover edition of ASIN B09BNYYRK7 Violet is a typical, down-on-her-luck millennial: mid-twenties, over-educated and drowning in debt, on the verge of moving into her parent’s basement. When a lifeline appears in the form of a very unconventional job in neighboring Cambric Creek, she has no choice but to grab at it with both hands. Morning Glory Milking Farm offers full-time hours, full benefits, and generous pay with no experience needed . . . there’s only one catch. The clientele is Grade A certified prime beef, with the manly, meaty endowments to match. Milking minotaurs isn’t something Violet ever considered as a career option, but she’s determined to turn the opportunity into a reversal of fortune. When a stern, deep-voiced client begins to specially request her for his milking sessions, maintaining her professionalism and keeping him out of her dreams is easier said than done. Violet is resolved to make a dent in her student loans and afford name-brand orange juice, and a one-sided crush on an out-of-her-league minotaur is not a part of her plan—unless her feelings aren’t so one-sided after all. Morning Glory Milking Farm is a short human/monster romance novel, featuring a high heat slow burn with a lot of heart, and a guaranteed HEA. CWs include: cock milking, non-human anatomy, size difference, and a lot of fluid. It is the first book in the Cambric Creek monster romance series, and can be read as a standalone.

Enjoyment: 3.5Quality: 3.5Characters: 3.5Plot: 2.5

The omegaverse is fascinating to read side-by-side with a Tik Tock doomscroll. What women want from a partner/leader truly comes out in the books where it’s “drop everything and come pick her up” vs. online’s “lift heavy weights and eat red meat.” ✔️ Quadruple POV (Dean x River x Grayson x Liv) ✔️ Set in the omegaverse ✔️ Open-door contemporary romance (5/5🌶️) ✔️ Tropes: Omegaverse, family abuse, therapy

Omega's Obsession (Heat Haven Omegaverse, #2)

Sarah Blue

Liv DeSoto has always been in love with her brother’s best friend. Her obsession with him only grew when she perfumed as an Omega, and his Alpha scent became her own personal addiction. Dean, however, acts like she doesn’t exist. When Liv finds out that he’s joined Heat Haven with a trial pack, it all comes together. With her first heat due any day now, who better to help her in this time of need than Dean and his two incredibly handsome future packmates? Liv’s obsessive tendencies lean towards stalking and “borrowing” some of the pack’s belongings. River and Grayson, the Beta and other Alpha of the pack, flourish under Liv’s compulsive nature. The only thing standing in her way of true happiness is Dean and her father. Money, deceit, and status rule Liv’s family. She’s willing to risk it all for these men. Are they willing to do the same for her? This is a MMMF Omegaverse romance. It is a standalone full-length novel with lovable but slightly unhinged characters. You do not need to read Heat Haven to understand this story. It does, however, help with how Heat Haven operates.

Empire of Temptation (New York State of Mafia #1)

Mila Finelli

The first book in a brand-new series from the author of Mafia Mistress and the Kings of Italy series. In the quiet of a small New York town, secrets run deeper than blood. Valentina I never thought I’d fall for a man like Luca. Powerful. Dangerous. But there’s something about him I can’t resist. The closer I get to him, the more questions I have. I want to trust him, but deep down, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something—and I’m not sure I’ll survive it. Luca I’ve spent my life building a vast empire, my hands coated with blood and sweat. And I’ll do anything to keep my family safe. Including abducting a young woman and forcing her back to Italy, a debt repaid. But the closer I get to Valentina, the more I lose control. She’s strong and independent, yet innocent in ways that set my blood on fire. She doesn’t know my story, and I’m not sure I can keep it that way for much longer... or if I even want to. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her—even if it means risking everything.

It’s hard to pack that much abuse, neglect, and accidents on the page and still come out sweet and sexy. More than that, the writing was awkward. Please check the content warnings. I wish I had.

The Poppy War (The Poppy War, #1)

R.F. Kuang

When Rin aced the Keju — the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies — it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard — the most elite military school in Nikan — was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power — an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive — and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away. Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity ... and that it may already be too late.

A clear holdover from the peak Colleen Hoover era where romance could only exist after brutal, traumatic experiences. I should probably DNF this book.

Tied (All Torn Up, #2)

Carian Cole

Tyler Grace was many things. A myth. An outcast. A hero. My prince. My childhood and innocence were stolen when I was kidnapped at five years old. For eleven years I clung to my childhood fairytale books, waiting for the prince I hoped would someday save me and carry me off to a happily ever after. I had no idea my savior would come in the form of a scarred recluse, covered in tattoos, who can't--or won't--speak a word. But the moment our eyes met I knew he was the one. My prince. Tyler Grace is haunted by his tragic past and he's sentenced himself to a lifetime of solitude in the woods. He's as lost in society as I am; scarred just as much on the inside as the outside. Just like me. He saved my life that day he found me and killed my captor with his bare hands. I was warned to stay away from him. But I can't stop thinking about him. I ache to hear his voice and see him smile. And I want nothing more than to be the one to break through his walls. I think he's the only one who can break through mine, too. Together we can have love, happiness, and a closeness that once felt impossible to have. But can we overcome the horrible twisted past that ties us together? ** Tied can be read as a single book, and has a happy ending
