Historia
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Great narration. World building & banter/relationship
Revisado: 04-07-25
The world building is easy to follow. The banter between characters is great and really plays up the enemies to lovers trope. I adore MMC-Kingfisher. 😍

Historia
Theo Brooks is hard not to notice. With his coy smirk, rock-hard abs, and skilled agility on the ice, he's the cockiest of all the jocks and, unfortunately for me, my new roommate. When Admissions mixes up my first and last name, and I end up living in the male dorms, I feel my perfectly tied schedule loosening with every string Theo pulls. And he likes to pull every single one. It isn't until I find out that my long-time boyfriend is sampling other girls that things get interesting. Theo proposes a solution to my problem.

Ridiculous premise creating forced proximity
Revisado: 03-28-25
Ridiculous premise creating forced proximity, but otherwise this is a really cute romance with strong character chemistry.

Sex positive romance
Revisado: 03-20-25
I enjoyed this read. The audio is very well done. I am a fan on consensual spice, and the spicy scenes are narrated nicely. 🥵
In my opinion there are some “miscommunication tropes” that are unnecessary and annoying, but the overall sex-positive, loving nature of the MCs and the celebration of the FMC for her intellect, skill/dedication to her sport, career goals, friendships, and mental health recovery allow me to overlook the minor grievances I have.

Historia
My life has been a series of bad decisions. Marrying an abusive man was the first... but falling for a dangerous inmate where I’m a nurse may be the worst. He’s brutal, heartless, and twisted. But he’s also the only one to notice the bruises on my skin. His forbidden touch becomes my addiction. His drugging kisses my obsession. After I learn the truth about why he’s in prison, I try to escape, but he finds me.

The darkness is too rapey for me - audio is okay with one issue
Revisado: 03-09-25
I’m a fan of duet narration. The narrators do mostly a good job, but I was reading ebook text and listening and there were several times where I was like “mmm, that’s not the right tone/intonation for how *I* read that.
The plot of the book is a little rapey/abduction heavy for my taste. I like dark romance, but am very picky about the content. This was better than other books I’ve read with rapey/abduction themes, but still had levels of cringe for me.
SPOILERS AHEAD
In the scene where FMC is torturing bad guy-Andrew (I think that’s his name), there’s a paragraph that the audio book has the make narrator read, but I’m 90% certain it’s something FMC says. The writing doesn’t specify, but from context clues, it should be the female narrator saying that paragraph from FMC’s voice.

The best of the series so far
Revisado: 03-04-25
• It’s the steamiest 🥵
• This has the best villain, and isn’t just the main characters getting in their own way.
• The character chemistry is super steamy, and also SWEET 😍
• The MCs from the first trap books are nicely incorporated
Great narration.

Historia
I loathe Alastor Shaw. The city of San Francisco thinks we’re rival artists. In truth, we’re predators battling for hunting ground. We never chased the same prey. Until the night we both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch. Shaw wants to use her as a pawn in his twisted game. I’m fixated on her for a different reason.

Get ebook and audiobook
Revisado: 02-17-25
What to say, what to say? I heard this was a dark romance, which I guess it is, but it seems more DARK than romance.
This is set in SF and is told from two perspectives: FMC, Mara (poor struggling artist working 3 day jobs to barely make ends meet), and MMC Cole (obscenely wealthy, successful sculpture artist). MMC-Cole’s artistic rival is also a significant character.
Audiobook vs ebook— I love audio books, and the narration is good, but the ebook includes some drawings (occasional) AND has a music playlist (Spotify and Apple Music) to play during certain parts of the book. (Ours also worth noting that the audio book refers to a tattoo as “script” then as a snake, where the ebook has that corrected to snake in both parts.
MMC is BEYOND morally grey, but it’s not romanticized like in some dark romances. It’s still cringe when he is being a possessive, manipulative, controlling morally bankrupt character.
This is part one of a two part series and ends on a cliffhanger.

Typical HEA - enjoyable listen/read
Revisado: 01-16-25
Some of the conflict felt really forced, but overall this was an enjoyable floofy romance, typical formulas for a HEA romance. Mmc is a very likable character. Fmc is a little flighty and neurotic, but character growth in this book is good.
Strong narration.

Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations.

This story was such a funny satirical romantasy. The unique characters, and their interactions/relationships with each other were really cute. Parts felt too rushed, and I wanted more depth on certain storylines, but overall it was a great listen.

Historia
Maud is an irascible 88-year-old Swedish woman with no family, no friends, and...no qualms about a little murder. Ever since her darling father's untimely death when she was only 18, Maud has lived in the family's spacious apartment in downtown Gothenburg rent-free, thanks to a minor clause in a hastily negotiated contract. That was how Maud learned that good things can come from tragedy. Now in her late 80s, Maud contents herself with traveling the world and surfing the net from the comfort of her father's ancient armchair. It's a solitary existence, and she likes it that way.

Humorous quick listen

This is a humorous quick/short listen. As an American listening to the English translation, some of the Swedish references were lost on me.

The plot was just okay; the smut seemed rushed
Revisado: 01-11-25
The plot was engaging enough. A nice, HEA formula romance book. The characters were generally likable. But the smut scenes all seemed wildly rushed, like the author was trying to reduce the word count and instead of removing a smut scene, decided to just make them all like ‘then he pushed into me and I screamed “I’m close” before he pushed me over the edge with one slow thrust.’ Like, mmkay girl, you can orgasm at the gust of wind when your boytoy is around, we get it.
It was an enjoyable enough floofy read, but isn’t making any “fave” lists for me.
