Merissa (13765 KP) rated His Fated Mate in Books
Jan 7, 2026
HIS FATED MATE is a short and spicy novella, detailing insta lust/love between a fledgling vampire and his fated mate.
There are some snippets that may lead elsewhere in forthcoming books, but for this one, it's a snapshot of Evan and Alexander, showing just how the bond snaps into place, and how it feels. It also dips into what the consequences might be, but nothing major.
If you're looking for a short, steamy, raw, and intense novella that introduces you to this author, then I can definitely recommend this one.

Midge (525 KP) rated Sugar: My Life as a Sugar Babe in Books
Dec 11, 2018
A fun, fast and interesting read. (2 more)
Fascinating to read about Monique's travels to different countries.
Intense and emotional
Very Steamy!
Sugar was beckoning at me to be read, initially by the eye-catching and attractive cover and that it looked like it would be a very steamy read, as indeed it was. I was definitely not disappointed! I was smitten from the very first, right until the last page.
Monique is a loving single mother, who is trying to create a happy home for her two daughters and she's also a Sugar Babe, dating wealthy men, a practice known as Sugar Daddy dating. She mostly meets her Sugar Daddies during the day, when the children are at school or when they are with their father. Monique finds a thousand pounds in her purse after one night of passionate and very hot sex, and she realises that Sugar Daddy dating could be her way to survive as a single mother.
A heady life of wealthy men, luxury hotels and glamorous experiences ensue. One of my favourites was Iranian engineer Farshad, who liked to lavish Monique with gifts such as expensive jewellery and leather boots and wine and dine her in exotic restaurants.
Dates with Sugar Daddies see her flying to Paris, Barcelona, Vienna, Milan, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong and skydiving in Dubai. Thanks to her Sugar Daddies, Monique can provide for her children, she has some independence, and experiences a whole new range of sexual fantasies.
She deactivates her account with her agency, Seeking Arrangement, and her ex-husband stops paying for the children's' upkeep. She is then prepared to do anything for the sake of her children. Money becomes her top priority and she starts living in the dangerous waters of the escort world. Now she realises that she must find a way out before this hollow existence becomes a habit.
I absolutely loved reading Sugar. Maybe it was the novelty of reading a book told as memoirs and based on true events. It was fascinating to read about Monique's travels to different countries and about the different nationalities, cultures and personalities of the gentlemen she dated. However, she ends up working as an escort rather than a Sugar Babe, as it's all about basic survival instincts, money and very spicy sex.
Sugar is steamy and hot, passionate and caring, intense and emotional and there are definitely moments where you will laugh. It is such a fun, fast and interesting read.
Monique X is a brilliant storyteller and really draws you in with her descriptiveness.

Merissa (13765 KP) rated The Lost Art of Life Magic (The Lost Arts #4) in Books
Nov 24, 2025
THE LOST ART OF LIFE MAGIC is the fourth and final book in The Lost Arts series, and I'm going to be honest, when I read that it wasn't told from Perian's perspective, I wasn't a happy bunny. I mean, come on! But knowing how much I loved the other books, I decided to give it a chance, so with a heavy sigh, I opened it up.
O.M.G. What a perfect ending!!!! I was instantly hooked, loving both new character Trill and old love-to-hate Cormal. Only, trouble was, I found myself sympathising with Cormal. What? I mean, how?? You know that phrase about good intentions? Well, it suits him down to a T. And I found my heart melting. Or maybe that was from the steamy scenes? I'm not sure, and it doesn't really matter.
What matters is that you get everything here. It ties the whole series together, steamy scenes, heartfelt scenes, scenes that will make you laugh out loud (Renny and Cormal!), you see old friends, meet new people who annoy you - I'm looking at you, ninth councillor! - and get everything you could possibly want to finish this outstanding series.
You need to start with book one, but honestly, there's not a single reason why you shouldn't. All of these books are amazing, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND all of them. This whole series is in my re-read pile, because I know I will be returning to this brilliant world again and again.

Auburn (57 KP) rated Finding Kyler (The Kennedy Boys, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
The good: Romance, twists, turns, brooding Kyle, and damaged Faye. The plot to this book is wonderfully well written. It brings you into the Kennedy family and makes you care for not just the main characters but the other boys in the family. Add on the forbidden cousin relationship and you have a story you won't want to put down. The bombshell cliffhanger insures you will be heading to the next book ASAP to find out what will happen.
The bad: I had a hard time with the whole cousin thing for a lot of the book. But if you can get past that the steamy push pull is pretty well done.
The epilogue: This book is for fans of the Royals series as well as anyone who enjoys a good angst ridden push pull relationship.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Heart of a Bad Boy (Destiny #3) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is the third book in the series and what a fantastic read. this author is becoming one of my favourites as the stories just keep getting better and better the more you read. these book can be read as stand alones or part of the series, id say read them all just because they are really good. this author has a fab way of writing that just sucks you in and keeps a hold of you till the last page. the author always writes such good epilogues, you can help but be sad when the books have finished. the characters are fantastic and very well written and the hot steamy scenes definitely set the pages alight. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Sweet Evil (Sweet, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I'm not normally a fan of long books as, to me, they start to drag after a while and I become bored. Luckily, this was an exception to that.
I really liked this (mostly, anyway).
The "mostly" part because of the lack of a HEA. Yeah, I know it's in a trilogy but I've been left with little hope after that ending. I really need to go buy the second book right now to see how it all works out (with a HEA or at least hope of one for the last book)
I liked that it was detailed and quite steamy for a YA book. I read books for the romance aspect and I ADORED that in this. It was almost forbidden but they couldn't help themselves and were drawn inexplicably to each other.
I love Kaiden!

**I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review**
3.5 stars.
I really like the books cover, which is always a good thing :)
So, this is the debut story from the author and I was intrigued from the beginning. Why did she have these dreams? Why did she recognise the lake in the picture?
I liked Nathan. He seemed like a really nice, sexy guy who had his eye on Tess right from the start. And some of the sex scenes were fairly steamy... ;P
The story concept was different to any other I've read in the "mates" sense, though I wont spoil it by telling you how and let you read it for yourself.
There are a few minor wording issues but considering the author is from France, it is overall very good.
