SEDUCTIVE NIGHTS is the second book in the Peaches series. It can be read as a standalone, but I will always recommend you read the first book first.

Anyway, this is Preston and Jonas' story. We met them in the first book, where they bickered their way through, but Preston was in a relationship with Marvin. This ends at the beginning of this story, because Marvin can't keep it in his pants. Jonas offers a room at his house if Preston needs it. He tries to find somewhere by himself, but ends up taking Jonas up on his offer. After that? No holds barred.

The relationship between Jonas and Preston is all completely natural, with nothing forced, and good communication. The part dealing with Will, Jonas' dead husband, was sensitively written, and I loved how he was kept as a 'good guy'. Too often, the first husband (dead or otherwise) turns out to be some sort of shady character, and I loved that Will wasn't treated that way.

Preston loves his lingerie, and Jonas loves Preston's lingerie! These two fit together so perfectly, although, after loving Preston in book one, I did find his constant O.M.G. comments a bit much at times. Also, while I like the thought and Tangled is also one of my favourite films, I didn't like the whole lantern scene, as all I could think of was the environmental and wildlife impact.

On the whole, this was a great addition to the series that I have no hesitation in recommending. I look forward to returning to Peaches for Cole and Oakley's story!!! I can't wait. ❤

HUNTER'S BARBS is the fifth book in the Prime Omegaverse series, although it can be read as a standalone. If it's your first foray into this world, take note of the trigger warnings!

Before I start my review, I'm going to be honest here and say that Aria's story isn't my favourite for a number of reasons, which I will explain.

The first four chapters completely threw me off. Two are told by Aria, and two by Fritz. Unfortunately, it seemed like two alternative beginnings, where one needed to be removed before the book went live, as the timeline and descriptions of events made no sense apart from going back in time. Aria is described by Fritz in chapter two as having blonde hair, which matches the book cover. After that, she is described as having auburn hair. There is a lot of talk about their deepening connection, but not wanting to name it. And speaking of naming things and repeats, Aria names Fritz twice, but both are written as the first time. Seeing repeated phrases and descriptions has come up in these books before, but this one seemed as though there was just 'more'.

Saying all that, I did enjoy the story! Especially once Aria stopped going on about the dragons. I can honestly say I didn't like her much to begin with. Fritz was a wonderful character whom I loved learning about. I especially liked it when he thawed out enough to show his caring side. Seeing Aria and Fritz work and love together were the highlights of this story.

I am still thoroughly enjoying the Prime Omegaverse series and definitely want to continue with it. I just don't think this was one of the best, although I am sure it will be loved by many.
